Coveram Using

Hello, dear doctor. I'm 65 years old and I was using Tritace 10 mg (1 daily), Natrilix SR 1.5 mg (1/2 or 1 daily) and Noten 50 mg (1/2 daily) for my high blood pressure for the past 8 years.Now the cardiologist asked me to change to Coveram 10/5, because my medications are too old now. After 10 days taking Coveram I noticed that my average blood pressure from 137/81 became 134/78 which is almost the same, but my pulse increased from 64 to 75 (in average). What is the normal pulse should be in my age? And can I stay on Coveram only or add Noten (1/4 or 1/2 tablet) with it? Or get back to previous medications? Your opinion is very important to me. Thank you. Kind Regards, Jack

I live in Australia, New South Wales, Sydney. I concern about the pulse. After I started Coveram it became much faster and I don't feel comfortable with that. So my question is: what should be the average pulse in my age and do I have to speak to my cardiologist to stay on Coveram or go back to my old medicine.

I am not a doctor, however, I can tell you that after stopping the other medications and starting a new one, some fluctuations in your blood pressure and heart rate are to be expected. It will likely take a few weeks for your body to adjust and for things to settle back down, but you shouldn't change your medications or add any others, without your doctor's approval.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.

Your heart rate isn't hitting dangerous numbers, however, if it does, you should seek medical attention.

Is there anything else I can help with?
