Could my ongoing morning dizziness and tired feelings be related to my high blood pressure medication, Telpres MT 50, even though my blood pressure and cholesterol levels are normal and I have a fast heart rate that I was born with, or do I need a different treatment?
It is very common to feel tired or dizzy, especially in the morning, when taking blood pressure medications like Telpres MT 50 (which contains telmisartan and metoprolol). Even though your blood pressure readings are normal, the medication can sometimes cause your blood pressure to drop slightly when you stand up, leading to dizziness. Additionally, the metoprolol component, which helps manage your heart rate, can contribute to feeling tired. Since you have a naturally fast heart rate, please do not stop this medication suddenly. I reassure you this is manageable. Please consult your doctor to see if a simple dose adjustment or a different treatment option is right for you.
