Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a sudden or significant increase in blood pressure while taking amoxicillin. This includes readings consistently above 140/90 mmHg or any noticeable symptoms such as severe headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain.
Schedule an appointment with your physician if you have a history of high blood pressure and are prescribed amoxicillin. They can monitor your blood pressure during treatment and adjust medication if needed.
Seek medical attention if you develop any new or worsening symptoms alongside elevated blood pressure, such as swelling in your legs and ankles, unusual fatigue, or changes in urination.
Report any concerns about potential interactions between amoxicillin and other medications you are taking, especially those affecting blood pressure. Your doctor can assess the risks and recommend appropriate adjustments.
If you have pre-existing kidney or liver problems, inform your doctor before starting amoxicillin. These conditions can affect how your body processes the medication, potentially influencing blood pressure.
Don’t hesitate to contact your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns regarding your blood pressure while taking amoxicillin. Early intervention is key to managing potential complications.
