Sea sickness meds and high blood pressure

[downontheBW]

I've heard Bonine/Meclizine works well but is it OK for someone on high blood pressure medicine? If not, what else is there? I'm going to check with the doctor but thought some folks on this board may have first-hand experience. I've also heard good and bad about the wristbands.

Thanks!

Can't help with the Bonine but; I'm on high blood pressure meds and have used the patch with no problem. Of course, you want to check with your doctor first.
Last cruise tried the wrist bands and they were fabulous. I couldn't believe something so simple would work; but they did!
Hope this helps.

I get serious bouts of airsickness and have successfully used bonine along with my medication for high blood pressure. This last trip I just used the wrist bands since my surgeon's wife has had great success with it during sailing.

Must admit they were TIGHT but they worked incredibly well. I have had major stomach surgery and without going into detail, nausea presents a serious complication for me.
