Hello!
Thank you for asking on HcM!
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to adverse effects related to the new antihypertensive drug ( I am afraid that you have spelled it wrong).
Anyway, you should know that all anti-hypertensive drugs may leave your system in a couple of days after stopping or switching to another drug.
While blood pressure values need a period of up to a week to achieve a new balance.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
