[|Human|] I take 100 mg of Atenolol daily and 20 MG OF Enalapril twice daily.  My blood pressure spiked to 223/112 and I went to the ER.  They gave me 2 tabs of clonidine to bring it down.  Tonight my blood pressure is 134/74 after taking my last dose of Enalapril.  The Dr I went today told me to take the clonidine 0.1 mg in addition to my nightly Enalapril before bed.  Will the clonidine make my blood pressure too low?
[|AI|]  Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The Blood pressure of 134/74 is normal. Nothing to worry about this. Your previous antihypertensives seem to be not sufficient to reduce your blood pressure to normal. That is why your treating doctor added Clonidine 0.1 mg with Enalapril every night.in ER, Clonidine is given to you to reduce the blood pressure to normal. Because high blood pressure can cause strokes and heart attacks. Check your blood pressure regularly. Have annual cardiac evaluation with electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and treadmill stress test. Continue the medicines prescribed by your treating doctor. Exercise regularly. Try to cut down the oily and deep-fried foods. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.
