Bp medication

I'm on 5 different meds to control bp and have been for several years, does anyone else take a similar amount and if they do, do they have any side effects from them

I'm on two. One for BP and a beta blocker (also take blood thinners and a statin). No real side effects from the BP med except some occasional dizziness but the beta blocker puts a cap on how much I can exert myself and causes breathlessness if I do. Been on both since 2007.

You don't say which ones

I'm on an ACE Inhibitor.

And a blood thinner as well as a statin.

The beta blocker nearly killed me and sent me into respiratory arrest several years back
I do feel weak and in the morning I feel something swollen, but not always. Actually, I have severe reactions to blood pressure medications. I was on hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) but somehow that seems to have resolved.

Are you not feeling well?

What are you taking and at what dose?

Started on 5mg amlodipine, only brought it down slightly...so now I'm on amplodipine-valsartan 10-160mg. We'll see how this works in a few weeks.
