I ve been on cardizam for a period of roughly four years 360mgs, I also take alpha press 25mgs twice daily, I have found that I have become bloated and badly constipated since I ve been taking these drugs, is this a side effect from these tablets My blood pressure this morning was 187/115, not good I know, however no one seems to know why. This has been occurring over a long period, I was in hospital for a week and monitored, however no one seems to be able to tell me why bp is so high. I am 67 years of age, reasonably fit and weigh 45kgs. Thank you Josey
