Good morning..did you have the ZIO patch? I have one on now and it comes off on the 19th. This is all too frustrating. My primary has me taking 100 mgs of Lorsartan. After I take it , it puts me to sleep. I am so out , that I have to take it in the evening. What does the Clonidine patch do for you? This has been going on for several years , I had Covid last year at this time and fainted twice, once in the driveway and hit my head on the pavement resulting in a concussion , a TBI and broken nose, then in June it happened at work injuring my leg, but of course they know I have this long covid, so I did not get any work comp. My blood pressure is out of control, seen different doctors , had tests but nothing works for me. We will see if the zio comes up with anything. Thanks for reaching out to me. This is a evil virus. Please keep in touch.

I did see the doctor on the 16th. He said the Arrythmia I have is related to my heart rate, pulse. He prescribed 100mg Amiodarone. I take it Mon. Wed. and Fri. It has many side effects but he said don't read them. Can you believe that? I'm on Synthroid for my thyroid and it does effect that. I go back in 4 weeks for another Zio patch to see if there is any improvement. Meanwhile my BP is off the charts again Don't know if the med. is causing that but I know he will say it isn't. I really don't know what to do any more. This virus gets more evil every day!

My BP also out of control since 2022 after having Covid. Been on 5 different meds including Losartan, Valsartan and many others. The Zio patch confirmed I have Arrythmia. I don't know what kind. I see my doctor tomorrow and find out more. He prescribed Amiodarone 100mg. Starting to have side effects already. This virus seems to go anywhere in our bodies. I do think it is very evil and meant to destroy us. I will keep in touch.
