Is It Effective And Safe To Take Benicar And Metropollo For High BP?
My husband is taking benicar and metropollo for his blood pressure but he can't seem to regulate his bp. It is normal range early morning then drops to 104/48. Then he will drink a little Gatorade to make it come up. Then in the evening it will go extremely high like 180/63 to 235/100 + he will take colodine to drop it. He is staying stressed and frustrated which I know doesn't help! What can we do?

Hi. Thank you for your question.
Normal ranges of blood pressure are: systolic, 100-139 mmHg and diastolic, 60-89 mmHg. It is safe, as well as efective, to combine a beta-blocker (metoprolol) with a angiotensin receptor blocker (benicar - olmesartan). My opinion is that Gatorade, as well as high intake of caffeine and a diet rich in salt, should be avoided.
I hope I was helpful. Greetings.
