Hi,

I am 75 years old Asian male and have the following Blood Pressure
readings:-

Higher B.P. = 205

Lower B.P. = 79

Pulse rate = 56

Why my upper reading is so high please? Is it worrying? Lower reading is
fine and so is the pulse rate.

I take one tablet of COZAAR 100mg in the morning and one Cadura XL 4mg at
night.

I started taking Cadura for prostrate infection which seems to be cured.
This infection was treated with anti-biotics but by mistakes I was taken
Garlic that made the infection worst. There was a wound next to the tube
discharging Semen and one day I noticed milky urine. Since I stopped taking
Garlic, I an getting better. One time PSA went 69 and I had fever.
Antibiotics lowered it over a year or so to 12 and recently it was 6.0 Next
year, I hope it would drop to 2 or so.

Should I stop taking Cadura or not? I hear Cozaar is good.

Any side effects of these medicines?

I m not a physician. The systolic pressure sounds pretty high. I also have
had some such high readings.

Could you have misspelled the names of your medications? Are they Hyzaar and
Cardura?

I am also taking the generic form of Hyzaar along with metoprolol. In my
case, I found that 15mg of Hyzaar was too much. I break the tablets in half.
It might be of benefit to break your tablets into smaller pieces and take
them throughout the day. Check with your doctor. I do not wish to give you
bad medical advice.
