It was a cool fall day yesterday. Sunshine, blue skies and scattered clouds in the morning then a few sprinkles later in the day. I did not sleep well on Friday night. Woke up around 12:30 feeling nauseous. The visit to my cardiologist this past Tuesday showed my blood pressure is now in stage 2, so he wants me to go on blood pressure meds. He wants me off the meloxicam because one of its side effects is increased blood pressure. So I stopped one medication and started another. Who knows what that is doing with my system. I took my walk to the east side of Reservoir Ridge Natural Area last night and arrived in time to see some pink in the clouds and waxing crescent moon. Have a great Sunday!

We have some miracle drugs but the complications, interactions and side effects are often not openly discussed, such as in your case medications taken for good that have a negative effect on something else. Hopefully the change won’t be too difficult.

I’ve found out the meloxicam is for pain relief so it’s not really a medication to be taking on a daily basis unless it is felt necessary. I am noticing an improvement in how I feel physically and emotionally.

I managed to avoid blood pressure meds until a few years ago. 🙃 Glad to hear you’re feeling better.

I talked with another coffee snob this morning who is only 51 and just got n blood pressure meds. He feels much better now. I am also feeling a difference now that I’ve stopped one med and started the other. We’ll see. I also need to pay more attention to my eating habits and alter them.
