If you are taking blood pressure meds, ask about not taking them on days of dialysis or possibly eliminating them all together. But ALWAYS check with the doctor before you adjust any meds. We just went through that here and stopped all blood pressure meds per doctor's order and it stopped the problem, for now at least. But again, do not adjust or change meds without consulting the doctor first.
