M y husband had an ischemic stroke 2 weeks ago, resulting in right side vision loss in both eyes. He is on 40 mg Lipitor, 75 mg Plavix and10 mg Zestril/Prinival plus 81 mg aspirin daily. Tonight his bp/ heart rate was 128/82/68, the lowest its been since he came home. He was also extremely fatigued and complained of pain/soreness/tiredness in his legs. Is this because his bp is leveling out or is their another concern?
