Should I stop taking my newly prescribed CTD medicine since adding it to my Telma 40 has caused my blood pressure to drop to 93/76 and made me feel faint?
A blood pressure of 93/76 is low and explains your symptoms. Adding the CTD (chlorthalidone) to your Telma 40 (telmisartan) has likely lowered your blood pressure too quickly. Please sit or lie down immediately and drink some water to stay safe. Do not take your next dose of CTD and contact your doctor right away for a dose adjustment. Do not abruptly stop your Telma 40 without their guidance. If you feel extremely dizzy, lose consciousness, or feel worse, please seek immediate emergency medical care.
