I started the big 3 in late July and continued my BP meds. I take 4 as I've had high blood since I was 20 and it's through the roof without meds. The Rifampin makes it go up, so I'm constantly monitoring. I have to exercise and gets lots of sleep. I've lost weight since I started the meds, nausea on and off. I TRY to eat lots of veggies (had boiled dinner and salad for dinner- 7 servings in one meal).

What were u taking for MAC ? Maybe it didn't absorb w the BP Med? Ask them, as u should be able to stagger all your meds and not take together. It's a pain to take all this stuff, it bothers me if I let it. But the choice for me is having cavitary MAC grow, and that keeps me on track taking my drugs;-)

Take care Annie (that's my daughter's name! She's an angel.

@kaystrand Kay, what a GREAT response! Thank you SO much for jumping in while I was gone .. it must have been such a help to Annie to get your post since you also take BP meds! Since I don't take those meds it is so helpful for her to have that info. That is what our community is all about! Hugs to you! Katherine
