My 85 year old dad has several conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, CKD, early stage and is on many different medications, including gabapentin/neurotin for headaches which are now under control and donepezil for early stage alzheimers. There was a bit of a struggle earlier this year to get him on a blood pressure med that would control his bp as well as his edema. His bp has been good for a few months now. However, during his most recent visit his cardiologist found his pulse to be low and is going to put him on a 24 hour holter monitor and said he may need a pacemaker. Wondering if maybe he should take another look at the meds that he is on. Our family, including dad, would like to avoid unnecessary surgery.
