New Medication

anthuriums at the grocery store

I went to the doctor yesterday to check on my blood pressure, it has been higher this winter compared to my readings last year. He added a new medicine Norvasc to my existing Olmesartan. I do use the generic names for these medicines. I will monitor this combination for the next month. According to this blog it looks like I only started the Olmesartan last July. Hmm, maybe it stopped working?

Meanwhile I seem to have gained 5 pounds this winter, have to get back to the gym and watch the diet more closely.
