Rte, it sounds like your bp medication may be dropping your bp too low. When I first went on meds, the same thing happened, so I asked my doctor if I could cut the pill in half and take half in the A.M. and half in the P.M. - a friend had told me she did this. He okayed it and it worked much better for me until he changed my medication and added a Beta blocker. That really knocked me for a loop, so last month he told me to take the bp in the A.M. and the Beta Blocker at night, and that's working well for me.

It's good to have you back posting...you're missed when you don't show up!

Wanted to say thanks for the tip on the 1/2 and 1/2 for the BP pills. They’re not scored and I don’t have a pill-cutter, but they split in half really easily.

So, that’s what I’ve done for the past two days and it *seems* to be making a nice difference. I was able to get some things done today, yea! Thanks again.
