Blood pressure all over the place

[JUST-WAITING]

AFTER MY SURGERY - my blood pressure was easily controlled with a minmum dose of one drug- now it keeps creeping up and now I am increasing doses (with my surgeons consent) Has anyone had similar problem and or advice ???? I will see my NP next week. I am sure I need a different dose/ medicine or combo of medicine - Is this unique ??

For the first six months or so, your blood pressure may well bounce up and down quite a bit. Be careful about overcompensating with medications, as what you're experiencing may well be temporary. I would look for a different med, rather than a combo, if your doctor agrees. Blood pressure medications are scatter-shot in their interactions inside the body. The fewer chemical interactions interfered with, generally the better.

It often does happen that the blood pressure creeps back up as you become fully healed. However, that is more like a year than two months.

Best wishes,
