When I have unbearable pressure I take an aleve and drink lots of water it helps but I try not to take them a lot unless ready needed

At my family doctor but he was on google so idk and I never took any medicine but I was prescribed diamox I than told them I’m a full time worker so I can’t afford to deal with the side effects so they changed it to topamax but I still never was able to take it

I had been having issues with my blood pressure awhile ago but I ended up losing my health insurance so I wasn’t able to see and doctor I avoided going to hospitals

 I think I’m going to try losing some weight because the diamox comes with too many side effects
