Hello all,I am a C 5/6, almost 48 years post SCI and I have an issue that I just can't figure out.I am having a problem with high blood pressure. My normal blood pressure is 120ishover 80ish. Over the past three months that we have been checking most times the blood pressure would be over 200/100ish. The doctor has prescribed several different meds of which none have worked. I am normally on Lisinopril and Lasix.In the morning I will eat a breakfast sandwich and take my morning meds. Approximately 1 hour later my blood pressure will be almost normal, then it will either gradually go up or spike back up to where it has been staying. The doctor has also put me on a medication to slow my heart beat. My normal heartbeat iaround 50 and during the night I would wake up, check my pulse to find it was over 80, one or two times exceeding 100.Any ideas?
