Hi Ladies

I've been using Evoril Conti patches for over two years and my blood pressure has increased dramatically. I've been prescribed several different medications but the side effects were intolerable plus no great reduction in blood pressure. My next step may be to come off the patches which I'm dreading as you can imagine!

Just interested whether anyone else had similar problems and if so how was the problem resolved. I have put on a stone and a half whilst using the patches which probably doesnt help and its all around the middle which I know several of you have also experienced Any advice would be much appreciated Thanks x
