I started it 4 weeks ago and the first weekend my BP dropped while I was out and about. It wasn't hot but extremely sunny. So I cut my dose in half and the same thing happened the very next weekend while out and about. Again it wasn't hot. So I cut the dose to a quarter and my BP stayed in the 120/80 range. So fast forward to this week. My BP has gone up. The difference between this week and last week is I was taking a K2 supplement. I am wondering if K2 had an affect on the medication and made my BP drop.

I was prescribed 20 mg. I am glad you started this thread OP. I was going to start one.

ETA. I have noticed that I do get fatigued sooner doing workouts and yard work.

Update. BP dropped again today. All ways happens on a Saturday.

Yall gotta make sure you’re staying hydrated especially when you’re outside

The HCTZ part of the combo pill is the diuretic so it’s pulling off water and sodium and potassium

Define "dropped". Did you take your BP? Or could you just tell it was dropping? How much did it drop?
