right now I am wondering if the metformin I tke do raise the lower number of my blood pressure, it used to be about 70-80 but since taking metformin , that also made me have to go to the toilet 2-3 times every night, since then my lowest blood presure has been raise to about 95 ... and that I think is worrying, when I have lost 52 Pounds now and also am doing a lot of excercise... most people get a better blood presure from loosing weight and doing sports...
I know most people do not have to go to the toilet so much because metformin, but there are others that have experoenced it I have found searching the web...
Many people experience improved BP when they get their diabetes under control, and/or, trim up a bit. The harsh reality is though that diabetes is not the only thing that can influence hypertension. Influencing factors can be anything from stress, other conditions or even plain old unfortunate genetic/familial factors. If your BP is higher than ideal, it makes sense to do whatever you can to bring it into line. Whilst it might not be ideal, in terms of preferences, that could involve medication, whether for the shorter or longer term.
Is your BP elevate all the time now, or is it "sometimes"? Have you plans in place to discuss it with your Doc?
Well done on your weight loss. I can't take Metformin in any of it's forms from the standard to the slow release. The diarrhea wouldn't clear up and I was scared it would cause damage to something else. I've been on Linagliptin and that's been okay, certainly no toilet issues with it.right now I am wondering if the metformin I take do raise the lower number of my blood pressure, it used to be about 70-80 but since taking metformin , that also made me have to go to the toilet 2-3 times every night, since then my lowest blood presure has been raise to about 95 ... and that I think is worrying, when I have lost 52 Pounds now and also am doing a lot of excercise... most people get a better blood presure from loosing weight and doing sports...

When you take Metformin is there some change you can feel?
Other than a distinct sense of foreboding and a decision not to leave the house for some time, that is.
but my bg is so high now
