Hello, in Novemeber my doctor prescribed me a new medication to help control my high bp (metropolol). I was already taking lorsartan and amlodipine. I also have type 2 diabetes and take metformin and glimipride. I decided to adopt a whole, plant based diet and have lost a total of 37 lbs. (21 were the result of out of control diabetes prior to changing my eating habits. I felt wonderful at first - energetic, alert and healthy - but for the past few days I ve felt light-headed, faint and my hands have been tingling and numb. Could it be that I am taking too much medicine? Last time I checked my bp at the store it was still high 149/90, but that s been a few weeks ago. I ve brought my bg down from nearly 400 to 182 and my resting pulse down from the high 90s to high 70s and low 80s.
