“About my heart beat?”
I have been placed on drugs for high blood pressure for some weeks, amlodipine, Lexotam ageless. The first week was wonderful but later the drugs didn't work with my system. If I sleep on my left chest, it doesn't feel comfortable until I switch to the right.

Dear Patient,
Hello, my name is Samuel Keith Williams, III, MD, CPG. Blood pressure regulation is a complicated physiological process. Each patient to blood pressure lowering medications. It can take weeks to reach the desired goal, or never. Please discuss this further with your primary care physician if you desire.
Thank you.

I am not familiar with any medication called Lexotam. I am not familiar with any blood pressure medication that makes sleeping on any side more difficult. If you continue to check your own blood pressure and you notice that it is not coming down, you may need to increase your medication or find another medication to add to what you are currently taking. Since you have been on your medications for a few weeks, now would be a good time to see your doctor again and have your blood pressure taken in the office. Bring your own blood pressure cuff with you to the appointment, so it can be compared to the office equipment.
