BP still high, brain function decreasing?

 There's been more instances where I forget to turn off the stove lately.  The other day, I came home and stood in front of our locked front door and pushed the Unlock button on my car keys thinking that would unlock the house door.  After the car beeped, I realized, duh, wrong key!  I know my brain was thinking "unlock" but still, this was the first time I did this.  Kinda had a "whoa" moment, my brain is showing signs of failing...   Often can't remember what we discussed the day before.  Dunno if its related to the high BP these past several months.  BP followup tomorrow, will ask Bridgette.  

BP... Switched to Carvedilol 10-28-21.  Stopped after 4 doses, BP was getting high.  Went back to metoprolol 75mg.  At next followup a month later, end of Nov, Bridgette bumped metoprolol up to 100mg. A month later, BP still high.  Switched myself back to 50mg about a week ago.  No change yet.  BP still averaging 160/115.  Considering looking into acupuncture.   And back to drinking chia water.  Exercised more than usual this past week, but no real change in BP.  Don't get it.
