 #Today has been a day of doing chores as best I could despite the side-effects from the medication the cardiologist prescribed. She cut the dosage in half when I first had trouble, but even a half-dose leaves me dizzy and confused. Luckily, she gets in touch as soon as I message her, so now she says to stop taking it. By tomorrow I should be fine. Maybe I can get some writing done then.

BP meds are the worst. Like you, mine was leaving staggering about like a drunken sailor but without the fun n frolic of getting drunk like that sailor. 🥴 And eventually requiring me to lay down (or fall down) for a nap in the afternoons. 
So stopped taking em. BP is a little high, though not much (130-140/ 80), but I  am awake n "sober" again. 🤔
Good luck in finding one that works for you. I have yet to find such an elusive thing myself. 😏
