blood pressure meds.

Yes welshwife, I get v tired as well. I take a similar ''cocktail'' to Auntieflo with one or two more. I also take Candesartan and didn't realise it was a diuretic..
The tiredness I feel just seems to happen suddenly at night and often I just go to bed

I thought it was just me and age related tiredness. In the mornings I take 1x Candesartan 8 mg, 1 x Bisoprolal Fumarate x 5 mg, and 1x Dispersible Aspirin x 75 mg. Plus 1x Ad-Cal. I used to take Ramipril, but developed a cough. At night I take 1 statin, Atorvastatin 20mg, replacing Simvastatin, which I found made me very achey. But the tiredness goes on.

I think my BP meds make me very tired - I do take a bit of a mix though - nebivolol which is a beta blocker - Valsartan/Hydfochlorothiazide -Rilmenidine and half a Spironolactone. That us my breakfast - then I take a second Rilmenidine and a Keppra in the evening.
Normal dose of Keppra is two a day - morning and evening but mine is a precaution rather than a cure - once my BP spiked and I had a fit - first and only time. After all the tests they discovered I do have a brain and all was normal except I reacted to disco type lights. The tablet is to make sure nothing happens when I am driving at night or when the sunlight strobes through a line of trees.
Next time I have an appointment I am going to see if there is anything that could be switched although to be honest I know I have reactions to other meds such as Amlodopine or Ramipril.

Does anyone else find they feel very tired? I can only work for so long and then need a sit down! I cleaned our bedroom today - involved pulling out bed to hoover under etc and change the bed - I said to DH I could do with an injection of energy and he replied that he was thinking about trying an injection of heroin or LSD but he was afraid of having hallucinations!

Oh dear, that has really cheered me up! As well as posting about difficulties with my osteoporosis meds on a another thread, I now find my BP is up and BP meds also need changed.

The side effects are such a pain, aren't they? You just can't win!

diuretic not diruretic.
