Diltiazem 120 + Lasix 80 + Inspra 25
UpdatedJust had back surgery. My blood pressure has been low so I stopped taking the diltiazem and cut the lasix in half to 40 mg plus the inspra 25 mg. My blood pressure is good during the day and at night is 115/70. Is this the right thing to do?

Hello, Lou! How are you doing? Has there been any change?
Did your doctor approve these dosage adjustments?
The biggest concern is that if you drop the dosage of these medications too abruptly, or stop one suddenly, it could result in a rebound effect, according to the NIH, which could cause the exact opposite problem of dangerously elevated blood pressure and heart rate. If the occurs, it could place you at risk of heart attack, or stroke.
How low has it been, since the surgery? Are you on any other medications?
Thanks for the input I'm back to taking everything as prescribed blood pressure is back to normal I guess my body had to adjust from the surgery.i was only like 20 days out just needed time I am 64!
