In between a rock and a hard place. She has walker, wheelchair, the works, but I have seen time after time that over years of taking this med, that it can effect their balance. I made her a doctors appt for a full physical. So what do I do? I am her full POA. Do I take her off the BP med and risk a heart attack? Or do I leave her on the BP and risk her falling and breaking a hip? I feel like I literally have her life in my hands. Thanks to anyone that can help.
If she is becoming a fall risk, which it certainly sounds like she is, you may want to consider a higher level of care. I would not take her off any medications until she’s seen by her doctor. Let them decide what to do for her.
