I quit taking my blood pressure medicine. I was hoping that maybe some of these weird symptoms I have would go away if I did. I quit on Sunday so it has just been four days. My blood pressure has gone up but not too much and no where near a dangerous level. I check it twice a day to make sure. For the first time in I can't tell you how long I lay down last night and slept without medication, slept all night thru - well - at least until 5:30 when I had to get up and go pee but I went right back to sleep. The burning mouth seems to be a little better, at least yesterday and today I have been able to brush my teeth without it burning so bad that I get tears in my eyes. But, the main reason I wanted to test this is was I was so hoping that it would be the answer to my being so itchy. I thought it was dry skin at first but no matter how much lotion I use it doesn't help. The weather is warm and we have humidity again but still the itching. Benadryl doesn't even help. I am at my wits end.. it is driving me freaking insane. I am going to stay off the medication for another week and see what happens. If it doesn't get better I will start taking my BP meds and eliminate something else.
