BP jump: I need more information. I specialize in Drug Resistant Hypertension which you have. The most common cause is Primary Aldosteronism which I also specialize in. Ask your Dr to test you for this. Jump may be due to bad BP device or use of device, eating more salt than your body can get rid of, cold meds that might increase BP, eating licorice every day, estrogens, and stress. Discuss with team.

I was asked the reason for taking these medications; furosemide(1am 1 pm) and aldactone(water retention), clopidogrel(left heart enlargement from poor bp control), lisinopril 5mg bp. Can I take the 2 furosemide once at am with aldactone and others PM?
I know water pills can be prescribed together, but is taking them(furosemide, aldactone, lisinopril and clopidogrel) separately at different times a better option? And I do get diarrhoea, tiredness climbing uphill in the midst of taking them.
