Let’s hope it continues. Pulse is still quite high as my BP drops below 150 though. That’s when I really start to struggle

I’m starting to believe that now I’ve been taking it for a few days, with the Indapamide my BP might stay below 200. First and last readings here are morning and evening. The other two are early/late afternoon.

I had a pretty hideous afternoon today. I felt so tired that eventually I just had to sleep on the sofa. Eventually I woke up just before 8pm thinking that I’d only been asleep for a couple of hours. My daughter soon disabused me of that idea. Probably five hours would have been nearer the mark, apparently. I didn’t realise, which is quite possibly not a good thing in itself.

I have a number of readings from throughout the day because I was interested to see if the Indapamide appeared to be doing anything. I think the last but one demonstrates the reason for my “crash” though.

Can’t really tell if the new drugs are having any effect as yet. The morning reading is about 10mmHg lower than I’d expect, but sometimes that just happens by itself. The second two are both evening readings. Perhaps lower than I’d expect on just the Ramipril?
