Hi,
I wasn't feeling right yesterday so I stopped by my doctors office for a nurse visit, she checked my bp and it was 160/100. I am on a 25mg dose of Atenolol and normally my bp runs between 123/65 - 135/65. My doctor increased the Atenolol to 50mg a day. I decided to take 25mg twice a day, 12 hours a part.
I went home and later that night my bp went up to 154/110 with a headache, I called the physician on call and she told me to take another pill and a Motrin for the headache. I did, went to bed and got up to my normal bp. As the day progressed my bp continued to rise, even after taking the morning 25mg dose, and I noticed my urine turned cloudy. I called my doctors office but didn't get a return call.
A few moments ago my head starting hurting again and my bp was 134/115. I know the bottom number is the pressure while your heart is resting and am concerned why it is so high at times. A few minutes later the headache subsided and I checked my bp using my other arm and it was 134/65. This concerns me, and I am wondering if I should be, what could be causing it and should I seek emergency medical help?
I was recently started on Provera daily to prevent endometrial cancer, Topamax and Baclofen.
Any advice would be appreciated.
