Q: I’m on 3 BP meds and have noticed an increase in arthritis all over my body since adding the last medication. Can BP meds cause arthritis?
A: Without knowing what medications you are taking, it is impossible to say if the last drug is responsible for the worsening of your arthritis. The more medications you are taking, the more likely you are to have an adverse reaction. Discuss your reaction with your doctor. You may want to ask about RESPeRATE use. It could get your blood pressure under control without having to add more drugs.
