Increased dosage and feeling a bit off

Hey everyone

So now i'm taking 4mg of Coversyl (ace inhibitor) as well as 25mg of Apo-Hydro (diuretic)..

Since I have started taking them my readings were

145/93 i waited 5 mins 124/79
112/82 a few hours later that day

135/87 I waited 5mins 119/77

134/84 15mins later 126/81

133/83 waited 5mins 118/77

My doctor told me that she was going to start going by my second reading because she said that if you are waiting a couple minutes then your second reading is indeed acurate.

Which is great.

But lately I have been feeling kind of tired... I seem to be alright most of the day but starting in the afternoon I begin to get really drousy to the point where I feel like I could fall on my face and pass out.. and my eyes start to feel almost like a fluttery feeling... does anyone else experience this, i don't know what other way to descibe it but its your eyes feel watery and they kind of feel strained or like a flutter feeling without them actually moving...

is this a symptom of anything? I am just wondering if I am lacking something or if there is any excuse for this tired feeling. It's a different kind of tired then when you haven't slept enough. It's kind of that exhaustion you feel after you just exercised.

Thanks for any insight.

Re: Increased dosage and feeling a bit off

Next doctor's visit have him run your serum potassium and sodium levels. You might be low on one or the other.

Re: Increased dosage and feeling a bit off

Well I just had bloodwork done today I think my doctor was having my "electrolytes" and "kidney's" tested.... so If i'm not mistaken electrolytes encompasses serum potassium and sodium right?

Is that a common symptom for a deficiency in one of the above?

Re: Increased dosage and feeling a bit off

Could be a lot of things- was it after a meal? If so, some people get reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and some people get postrandial hypotension (low blood pressure) after meals. Or maybe you were just tired- the Spanish take siestas after meals for a reason.
