A member asked:
If my dad forgot to take his blood pressure medicine 1 day, would that have caused him to get shaky hands, and loss of balance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Missing BP meds: Your father is on Lisinopril (l) and hydrochorthiazide (h). Did he miss both or just one? It is doubtful that missing one day of either or both of his BP meds would cause his symptoms. Please have him speak to his physician, if he or you are concerned.
