[|Human|] I have been on blood pressure meds. sence 2012. First , Alvalide. had serious Charlie horse cramps and then low angle glaucoma. My ins. switched the prescription to irbesartan/hctz 300 12.5mg 1 per day. Then I had a bad kidney function reading. I quit taking the med. and my blood test became better. With no med, my blood pressure is now in the 155 - 165 over 100+ . Is there blood pressure med that wont make you blind or have you in dylasis. also since stopping the meds. I m gaining weight like crazy even though I ve started walking 2 - 3 miles per day. Also take senthroid 1.25 and fenofibric 135 caps
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to ChatDoctorI have read your query hope this will helping blood pressure is a common problem in renal failure patients...ALKALINE is not a good choice in patients like you because it can fatal electrolyte imbalance... Your haven't mentioned whether you are on regular dialysis or not and what was your last lab report of RENAL FUNCTION TESTS.However, as far as your blood pressure control is concerned. You need to control it and AMLODIPINE is the best choice to do that. Start with low dose of mg and then slowly increase the dose according to the response. Try to control your weight gain... I would advise you to consult your physician. If renal functions are not much deranged(serum creatinine levels Thanks Chat Doctor.
