Try lowering the dosage. Cut the pills in half

CAREFUL...Read the data online about the meds. In some cases you can do that. In other cases where the meds are XL (extended release) this is a bad idea.

Instead of cutting the pills in half, gradually increase the interval between pills. Say instead of every 24 hours extend it to 26, then 28 over time etc.

Another thing you can do is, if you take multiple meds take them at intervals 12 hours apart instead of at the same time.

Monitor your BP at home and see how you tolerate the changes.

No, I'm not a doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn express once.
