Timing Of Meds

I am on Bystolic 10 mg and Benicar 40 mg. Is it better to take Bystolic in the morning or the Benicar. My bp is usually elevated when I wake up and seems that Bystolic was not controlling it in the morning so my MD suggested trying Benicar in am & Bystolic at night?

For the best results, you should follow your doctor's instructions.

However, it is normal for your blood pressure to elevate for awhile, when you first wake up. Its usually just due to it dropping while your sleeping, then you get a sudden spike, when you get up in the morning. That's generally not something to worry about, as long as the elevation is only temporary and it goes back down later.

Many people see elevations every morning, if they check before they take their medications, too.

When I first saw mine elevated some mornings, it freaked me out, until my cardiologist explained it to me.

What is your blood pressure later or at other times of day?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of these medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dry mouth.
