Should I Increase Dose Of Atenolol To 75 Mgs 3times A Day?

I m taking 50mg of Atenolol 3 times a day for High B.P. I m getting headaches and my pressure was up to 179 over 128 the other day. Should I ask my doctor about adding water pills? Should I increase my doses to 75mgs 3 times a day until I can see my doctor?

Hi,

Warfarin does not causes dizziness. Treatment is on the right path. PT and INR should be done every week for few times. For dizziness give tablet Vertin for 5 days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
