Thanks for the reply.
It’s not about me, it’s my boyfriend. I’m asking because someone needs to actually do something about this, but he’s just got his head stuck in the sand and acting like blood pressure isn't even a thing.
I know he’s only taking a tiny dose, maybe for 3 or 4 years now. Concor brought his numbers down—I think he’s averaging around 120-130/80. But honestly, I haven't seen him check it in months because he’s just checked out and given up on everything. Look, I get it, seeing a top-tier cardiologist is the move, but he doesn't have anyone he actually trusts. He went to a couple of specialists through his insurance before, but they barely gave him the time of day. It was the classic routine: "Here, kid, take these pills and come back in a year, no big deal." And he hasn't mentioned any psychological stuff, even though those symptoms have been hitting him hard for the last year or so. I heard about the Magdalena clinic over in Palm Springs, so I'm thinking about forcing him to go there for a full checkup.

Anyone else dealt with this? I'm 31, been on Concor for years to manage my high blood pressure, and now I'm hitting this wall of mild depression, total apathy, and zero libido. It’s not like full-blown clinical depression—I can still get through my day just fine—but it feels like I’ve turned into some kind of robot. Just totally numb, completely checked out emotionally from everything. Is it time to ditch these pills for something else? Any advice?
