I had three stents put in 5/6 years ago.  I have never had high blood pressure or high cholesterol, but the Cardiologist that inserted my stents insists that I take Simvastatin, and Niacin for cholesterol and Atacand for blood pressure.  Lately, I have been getting light headed and my blood pressure (we have a home device) ranges from 110/60 to 135/78.  Without my Cardiologists permission Im cutting my Atacand in half, but still feel light headed.  Advice (beyond, go see your Cardiologist?
Hello, If you were not hypertensive before, then you can stop your Atacama and see if your symptoms improve. But by that time, you need to monitor your blood pressure daily for a week, and if it stays below 140/90 mmHg, then there's no need to start Atacama back. I would also like to advise you to check your serum electrolyte level as electrolyte imbalance due to medicines can also produce symptoms like these. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
