Suggest Medication For High Bp
I have had High BP since i was 17 and am now 35. I recently changed BP medication to try and get pregnant. I was responding well to those medications and have suddenly stopped responding to them. I went back to doctor and was put on different BP meds and they also have had no effect at all on my high pressure. What could of changed. I have never had problems with high pressure since starting medicine at 17.
