Hi,

Welcome to Health Care Magic,

I am Dr.Naveed Ullah khan,

I have read your question in detail and will try to help you in the best way possible.

It can a side offect of the drug definitly jn which case it can be easily switched to another antihypertensive which would be more tolerable in ur case. For that a more detailed history would be required as there are tons of medications for high bp but indivisuals may benifet more from one drug as compared to another one. Depends on age, race, ur blood pressure, and other diseases. Keeping all that in mind i m sure you can get another antihypertensive drug that wojld cause no troubles for u.


I hope this answered all your queries, if you have more queries,I will be happy to answer.

Wish you the best of health.

Regards.
