Hi.
10 years ago experienced same symptons as I am now. I am on blood pressure medicine and I experience a lot of anxiety, can not sleep, can not function like I used to, lost weight. Doctors analyzed me and said I have depression. Currently taking anti-depressants along with blood pressure medicine, in addition Benzodiazepine's to keep me calm. Let me start off by saying, I don't like taking medication mainly because of their side affects. Which I feel are putting me into the depression. However, I need to be on something. I am healthy, don't smoke, exercise. It's like a vicious cycle I need the blood pressure medicine, which is causing the depression, which is causing the anxiety. My doctors say to give the Depression medicine time to kick in. In the meantime, after I take my blood pressure medicine, I feel pressure and burning in the top of my head. However, they have never heard of this. Not sure what to do. Stop taking the medicines or give it time? What is causing the burning feeling in my head? Is anyone going thru simular problems, or have high blood pressure that knows how to reduce it without medication. Just want my life to be normal again.
Thank you.
