Had to reduce blood pressure meds due to GIP-1. Anyone else?

Posted by ldjones99 @ldjones99, 1 day ago

I take Losartan and Carvedilol for my blood pressure and heart function. They have been working well for me. However since I started a GLP-1 drug six weeks ago for weight control I noticed my blood pressure numbers going down. Last week it began to be a problem (light-headedness, nausea, etc.). I reduced both my Losartan and Carvedilol by half and within a day my blood pressure was back to normal. Has anyone else found this to be true?

Could it be because you have lost weight?

Did you consult your provider before changing your blood pressure dosage?
