My wife has been diagnosed with high blood pressure. She is on Plendil and water pill for the past two weeks. She is complaining of extreme fatigue and now is thinking she has symptoms of MS - because of the "spells" of fatigue she is feeling, combined with numbness in the arms and legs that comes and goes - in addition to a burning sensation on her skin (all symptoms of MS apparently).
QUESTION: Has anyone had high blood pressure as a symptom of MS? She has only felt the fatigue since starting the BP meds. I suspect it's the meds. She worries it's MS. BTW - her blood pressure has come down over the last two weeks to 129/90, from a high of 225/110 and still has the symptoms of MS.
