    Hello Placitas and thanks for your post.

     

    I search our site and thought the followng information might be helpful.

     

    First, you migh twant to read the material on Toprol XL and Atacand .

     

    Next, there are a number of causes for hypertension.  I'm not certain why you have a rise the way you do, but you must speak to your doctor about this as soon as possible.  I am not medically trained and just couldn't answer that question properly.

     

    Hope this helps, please let us know what your doctor tells you.

     

    All the best, sue (moderator)

    Also found this - Sudden Rise in Blood Pressure - in our Q&A section.  Not exact, but maybe informative.

    I have mentioned this to several MDs.

    They have been unable to give me an answer except to say it is odd and try taking the meds at different times.
