Unsteady On Feet, Sitting In Chair Sleeping, BP And Pulse Low Taking Quinapril, Ziac And Norvax. Would The New Medicines Causing Problem?
I have been taking quinapril 40 mg, ziac 10/6.25 mg and norvaxc2.5 mg for four years..Ran out of generic Norvasc and generac ziac about 10 days bfore doctor re-prescribed. Added both back into my system (along with Quinnapril) three days ago. Acording to roommate, I began adting strange today -- unsteady on my feet, wouldn't answer questions, made no sense when talked, finally sat in my chair wnd sent to sleep (which I never do). Norvasc pill looks diferent. It is now a round pill from Ascend. Would any of these be causing my problems??. BP is now 85/53 with 60 pulse. Any suggestions

Hi, thanks in using healthcare magic
Your blood pressure is low at 85/53. This blood pressure would definitely contribute to unsteady feeling on your feet and confusion.
Some persons respond differently to generics compared to the brand medication.There may also be a different response between generics themselves.
If your medication has been changed to a different format , it is definitely a potential cause for your symptoms.
You should consider speaking to your local pharmacist.
I hope this helps
