I have been struggling with BP meds since my AVR on 7/26/13. I'm working closely with my cardiologist, and we have been adjusting dosages and medications, but so far everything we have tried makes me feel drugged (dizzy and nauseated) to the point of being practically non-functioning. I'm currently on 40 mg Coreg CR in the AM and 10 mg Amlodipine in the evening. We have tried other medications with basically the same results, and my BP is not well controlled (which I don't understand, since it was OK pre-surgery). It's good that I am retired, because there's no way I could perform a job feeling this lousy. We had great, if modest, retirement plans, but they are all on hold until I feel halfway decent, if that day ever comes.
Has anybody else had similar struggles with BP meds?
