Blood pressure meds and side effects

@dcody I agree and I always look-up any new medicine. My cardiologist told me to stop reading about them because she was an expert. I'm sure she thinks I tell her I have all the reactions to meds that I see listed for them. That is so not true. I'm on four BP meds and a patch. Now they are going to scan my kidneys for artery blockage.

GOOD FOR YOU. I ALSO LOOK UP ALL MEDICATIONS. IT IS AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT DRUGS WHEN YOU TAKE THE TIME TO EDUCATE YOURSELF. I HAVE FOUND THAT I GET THE MOST ACCURATE INFORMATION FROM MY DRUGGEST. HER INFORMATION ALMOST ALWAYS AGREES WITH WHAT I FIND ON THE INTERNET. DRUGGESTS HAVE TO RENEW THEIR LICENSE EVERY 3-5 YEARS. I DON'T THINK MDS ARE UNDER THE SAME RULES. MAKES ME WONDER WHO IS THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE. I AM 86 AND TAKE ONLY ONE PERSCRIPTION. I HAVE HAD REACTIONS TO MOST OF THE DRUGS GIVEN TO ME BY MDS. SO I CHECK BEFORE I TAKE ANYTHING NEW.
