I was put on avalide 300/12.5 and it worked fine for awhile. My diastolic pressure got low so the dose was changed to 150/12.5. Systolic pressure then raised to 150's so was put back on 300/12.5 but sytolic never lowered. I was put on Micardis Hct 80/12.5 and now my BP is way off. Tonite it was 176/96. I am also on topril 10 Mg 2x a day. Why is my blood pressure rising. Also on Micardis I have irregular heartbeats.
