This is not a good combination. Avapro + diuretic (otherwise known as Avalide) is a much more logical combo.Quote from countrygal822:Right now I take toprol xl 2oo mg and avapro 300mg. Was taking 150 mg of avapro.
[QUOTE]My bloodpressure still runs about 178/ 89, and sometimes higher.Yes, this is high. But, is this a doctor office or home measurement?
[QUOTE]It wasn't until the Dr. doubled my mg of my avapro that I started having dizzy spells, practically 24/7. Could doubling the medicines have given me these dizzy spells.Again, make sure we are talking about home measurements here. Dizzy spells are more typically associated with low blood pressure. Many folks with "white coat" do really have high blood pressure. But, the meds don't necessarily help with the "white coat" aspect. And, the doctor can continue piling on the drugs not knowing what your "true" BP really is.[QUOTE]I have asked the dr. to maybe consider changing my meds. but she don't seem to want to do it.Sounds like it's time to change doctors.
