Understanding your concern. As per your query you have excessive sweating and mild constipation while on BP medications . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like constipation irritable bowel syndrome , anxiety disorder , dehydration and medication reaction or side-effect of blood pressure medicine as your also mention in query .
