Guest guest Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 DEAR GROUP, JOE STARTED ON NORVASC TODAY FOR HIS BLOOD PRESSURE AND I WONDERED IF ANYONE ELSE IS ON THIS DRUG ALSO...HE HAD A TERRIBLE HEADACHE AND THE PHARMACIST TOLD HIM HE WOULD BE DIZZY FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS. ALSO I WONDER IF THE RISE IN BLOOD PRESSURE IS A "SIGN" THAT IPF IS GETTING WORSE BECAUSE HE USED TO BE 110/80 AND NOW AT REST HE IS 155/110, AND WITH EXERTION AFTER 1-2 MINUTES IT REALLY JUMPS UP THERE. HIS PULSE RATE STAYS AROUND 140 WHEN OXIMETER READS 93 WHILE OFF HIS OXYGEN. ANY THOUGHTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED, HIS NEXT APPOINTMENT AND REASSESSMENT IS JUNE 27 AT EMORY SO HE IS RECORDING BLOOD PRESSURE , PULSE, O2, ETC FOR THE DR. TO REVIEW.
