Is it safe or dangerous if my blood pressure occasionally rises to 140/90 or 150/95 while I am taking my prescribed medications Telma 20 and Prazopress XL 5, and does this put me at risk for a heart attack or stroke?
Rises in blood pressure to 140/90 or 150/95 while taking Telma (telmisartan) and Prazopress XL (prazosin) are quite common and do not mean you are in immediate danger of a heart attack or stroke. Blood pressure naturally varies throughout the day due to stress, activity, or caffeine. However, if these spikes become frequent or are accompanied by symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or chest pain, please consult your doctor. Keeping a daily log of your readings will be very helpful for your doctor to safely fine-tune your treatment.
