High blood pressure anyone?

I have had had high blood pressure for a while. I had another appointment today and I had a new high score. 152/96. I got put on a blood pressure medication called Hydrochlorothiazide. I hope it works for me. Dr said it wasn’t caused by the other medication I take, thankfully.

Anyone else have high blood pressure?

I have high blood pressure and take two medications for it. I can’t lower it because I can’t lose weight for some reason.

@anon47703785 I understand. Losing weight is so very difficult while on antipsychotic medication.

When I was obese I had high bp, took Irbesartan. I lost lots of weight and my Dr stopped the bp med. I even get low bp sometimes when I fast, I get dizzy. bp 92/68

Yeah I’m 6"2 280 pounds right now soo… :x

Lowest I’ve seen my BP was 117 over 73, today it was 132 over… 74? I think. I’m on lostartan.

All you can really do is exercise and try and eat better I guess. Steer clear of olanzapine obviously, was on it 5 years think that’s why I have all these issues now.

I had slight high blood pressure. I take propranolol and that helps keep keep it a little lower.
