General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome at HCM
I appreciate your health concerns.
What is your BP reading? Have you checked your blood sugar? Any other issues related to liver? Have you done your ECG, echo and kidney function tests? Have you recorded your temperature?
As far as your symptoms are concerned I don't think these are related to your antihypertensive medicines. You should stay calm. You should check your temperature and make record of it. If there is rise in temperature then it need to be investigated. The other symptoms may be due to peripheral neuropathy secondary to blood pressure. You should meet your doctor to discuss it.
Meanwhile stay calm and avoid salt intake..and continue with your routine chores and use acetaminophen to relieve pain..
Hope it helps
Regards
Dr Saad
