What Could Uneasiness And Dizziness After Changing Hypertension Medicine Indicate?
My father is 76yrs. He is having high bp 190/90. Yesterday he saw a doctor and he was prescribed telmikind 20mg. On taking the medicine he is feeling very uneasy and also dizziness (feeling as if his head is reeling). Can u pls suggest what we should do? Thanks.

hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
First of all please measure BP when he feels dizziness and uneasyness.If it is due to low BP then you may need to change the medicine,20 mg is as such quite low dose however we can decide only after you measure BP .If you are very sure that symptoms appear only due to Telmikind you may report to your treating doctor to change the medicine.
My best wishes
