Blood Pressure Medication

[browndmb]

I take antenalol20mg and Ramapril 1.5 mg every morning but my BP is above the hihg level 160/97and then it goes down by late afternoon. 138/80Should I take one pill in the morning and the other in the evening to keep the Bp steady
Any info on this I would appreciate
Thanks

A relation of mine was on similar medication to you but found them innaffective. He was transferred to Alpha BP tablets which does the job far longer and better.

browndmb.....one of the common "oddities" about BP is that it is often high in the morning and then comes back to normal for the rest of the day. I am assuming that you feel well in the morning.

If you go to your doctor to have it checked and your appointment is for the morning, it is often raised and BP tablets are given unnecessarily.

In my opinion I would continue your present regime, providing of course that you feel well in the mornings.

There is an ABer called "the Prof" whose wife is a cardiologist, so perhaps an input from her might be valuable.

To rov1200 and Squad--Thank-you for your speedy response and I shall keep a check on the Blood pressure and use your info on my next visit--in a couple of weeks. As I have a few things bothering me the doc is putting it down to the High BP but I wonder!!!!
