I am 68 years old and I am having trouble with my BP & pulse rate. My MD has me on Verapamil but  my kidney MD changed it to nifedipine a few days ago. When I tried the new med, my BP and pulse started having problems. I quit taking the nifedipine and went back to verapamil, but this morning, I took my pulse & BP and it was 160/80, pulse 139, so I took a verapamil and rested and it reduced to 90/49, pulse 103. Now I am worried the BP is too low and pulse still too high. My MD is out of town. Should I go to the emergency room or shold I just consult another MD from the walk-in clinic?
You didn't mention dose of Verapamil anyway if these Chat Doctor.  One thing I want to know about your pulse is whether it is regular or not. If its regular then choice is gabardine 5 MGH twice a day.it won't effect your BP and only control your heart beat. If its irregular then check with ECG about rhythm then appropriate medicine. Likely cause if Atrial fibrillation then lanolin can be a better option.
