Just to give you a little background so you can advise better. I am 69 male very healthy. My only problem is asthma and i take Singulare for it about twice a week. On Jan 3rd I had some fainting problem while driving -turned out my BP was 230/100. They put me on Amlodipine 5mg and I have been fine since then - BP ranges 110-150 and 65-80. pulse 70-80. Then I had bronchitis three weeks ago and it took a lot out of me. I had stroung anitbiotics. for the last two days I have been getting numbness in my left toes and left hand fingers. today I went to the gym and exercised for 40 min. Then I had a full glass of pure home squeezed blueberry, pinapple,banana smoothie. had an apple at 11am. I was at home depot and I felt like I am going to faint. So they gave me an energy drink. got better but again the same feeling and felt numbness in tounge as well. I went to subway and had a good turkey sandwitch with lemonade. I feel good now but my tounge is still numb along with left hand fingers and left foot toes. I am still coughing a bit - wonder if I have pneumonia but chest feels ok.
any advice. history of very strong heart in family but mother side has HBP issue and so do i.
