Be sure to check your medications to see if the combination is causing your blood pressure to go up. I agree with @A MyFibroTeam Member my pain levels raise my blood pressure. Normally it is low.
Probably depends on what all you take. Everyone reacts to medications different too. I can't take Cymbalta as it makes me cry all the time; others do fine with it.I have meds for mental illness issues too. Plus ones for restless leg syndrome and more. So all meds have to be able to be taken together and your reactions to them go a long way.
I have pre-existing hypertension so with Medes and inactivity my blood pressure started to rise again so my doc took me off 1 diuretic and put me on another diuretic and so far all is good. Make sure When checking BP that you are at rest and not anxious and preferably sitting relaxed with feet uncrossed and flat on the floor. Normal BP reading for an adult is usually 140/90 or lower,however if you have diabetes then BP target is 130/80. Regardless follow your doctor's directives :)
