My husband is taking benicar and metropollo for his blood pressure but he cant seem to regulate his bp. It is normal range early morning then drops to 104/48. Then he will drink a little Gatorade to make it come up. Then in the evening it will go extremely high like 180/63 to 235/100 + he will take  colodine to drop it. He is staying stressed and frustrated which I know doesnt help! What can we do?
Hi. Thank you for your question. Normal ranges of blood pressure are: systolic, 100-139 mmHg and diastolic, 60-89 mmHg. It is safe, as well as effective, to combine a beta-blocker (metoprolol) with an angiotensin receptor blocker (Benita - losartan). My opinion is that Gatorade, as well as high intake of caffeine and a diet rich in salt, should be avoided. I hope I was helpful. Greetings.
