20mg once a day, no side effects.I take several meds to help control my blood pressure , they have their own side effects My current is Lisinopril anyone ?
Am on 20mg tablets since 4-2017I take several meds to help control my blood pressure , they have their own side effects My current is Lisinopril anyone ?
Curious Amlodipine did not work out for you if you do not mind. Been prescribed for years,but eveytime i ask about the same statins for many years the answer i getLisinopril 40MG once a day, no problems with that one. I had some issues with the first med they gave me, Amlodipine. Once the doc switched me I was fine.
Take Hydrochlorothiazide as well, diuretic, just makes me piss frequently. So I delay taking it if I'm driving to Havasu.
Have taken 40 mg for years have had a cough every morning for at least 5 yearsI took it for a bit. Had a strong cough. Didn't know until I wasn't taking it for a few days and my cough subsided. Then onto hydro???? Something. Just looked at post 4. That's what I take.
The Amlodipine worked initially to lower my BP -- which I only discovered was even high when it was checked during an eye exam.Curious Amlodipine did not work out for you if you do not mind. Been prescribed for years,but eveytime i ask about the same statins for many years the answer i get
“Your still here”. Same cardiologist for 27 years,saved my life + he was just passing thru emergency to parking lot on a Saturday afternnon in Camarillo when i was hauled in 27 years ago.
Why aren't they having you take this in the AM?Old mens club LOL I take 20 mg twice a day , amlodapine 5mg and Hydroclorithiazide at nite (piss all nite ) really fucks with my sleep but I'm getting use to it
Same question BUT my waking BP stays high no matter what so we suffer accordingly , while at nite even after a long stressful day and a few beers its lower Go figureWhy aren't they having you take this in the AM?
Well been monitoring my BP and it is escalating so I'm calling my Doc today to get my Lisinopril refilled.Been taking 20mg for 20 years now with no side effects. Actuall prescription ran out about a week ago and had to go see my Dr for my annual followup yesterday. At his office it was 118/78 so we decided to get off of it and monitor it for a few weeks. Let's see where this takes me as any prescription is not good for your system in the long run.
Good luck with yous.
Enaporil 20mg 2x, morning and eveningOld mens club LOL I take 20 mg twice a day , amlodapine 5mg and Hydroclorithiazide at nite (piss all nite ) really fucks with my sleep but I'm getting use to it
My ignoring my meds got me a life flight a few years back lesson learned , This week I started a low dose "ED" med 3 days in a row best waking and bed time BP in years (digital cuff ) , I had researched it adnauseum (above) and ask my doc (s' ) One was a bit hesitant, one said go for it , so far so goodEnaporil 20mg 2x, morning and evening
Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg 1x in the morning for me.
BP went from 189/100 to 120/82.
at one point they switched pharmacies and gave me Enaporil with 12.5mg hydro in the same pill,2x
I was pissing all night too.
then they switched it to enap w/o the hydro and I didn’t know.
I swelled up like Fred Flintstone and had trouble breathing, while in Cancun.
got some hydro and pissed away the rest of my vacation
Lisinopril with no issues at all. My Shaft of delight still performs quite well.I take several meds to help control my blood pressure , they have their own side effects My current is Lisinopril anyone ?
I've been taking it for years along with a beta blocker, metoprolol to slow my at rest heart rate and help prevent tachycardia. That combo is a godsend for me compared to being adverted from a 250 BPM pulse rate. Funny thing is I did not have High Blood pressure to start with.I take several meds to help control my blood pressure , they have their own side effects My current is Lisinopril anyone ?
Liniso is not considered a diuretic but as you have sated, taken along with other meds can act as a diuretic and shove out the salt which causes other issues. Glad your on top of it. Low sodium can cause heart rhythm issues so I have to stay on top of that also.Tom one thing that I didn't see mentioned is the drop in sodium levels in your blood. I was on linsinopril / hydrochlorothiazide and my sodium level dropped to 129 -133. Min is 136. They changed it to straight linsinopril as the combo is a diuretic to see if it would fix the problem
Same here I take Atenolol for SVT and Palpitations now about 15 years or so. Was literally a life saver for me. Before that, I was also in the 250BPM club and so many ER visits.I've been taking it for years along with a beta blocker, metoprolol to slow my at rest heart rate and help prevent tachycardia.

My point is these meds are used for a certain function and usually along with other meds that make up the treatment. This makes sense in your case.
Lisino keeps your Kidneys from holding water but does not rob your body of salts. Its a good med but a side effect is coughing. I have that issue.

I'm sure both of you have been evaluated for a catheter ablation. I had Wolff Parkinson White syndrome, and would go to 220+ instantly, lived with it for 50 years until I was ablated at age 50, now 70, and haven't had an episode since. I still have an occasional double beat where it tries to start but goes right back to normal.Same here I take Atenolol for SVT and Palpitations now about 15 years or so.

I've heard it might have an effect on Alzheimer's as well.So some interest for this thread I have/use a digital device for BP , we have taken it to the DR and checked it for accuracy . After my "incident" a couple years back I've been randomly measuring my BP particularly on waking but now at nite too , the evening is typically lower overall . (less stress) The AM is a bit high even for my age . Although the "my study" is short term , the addition of Cialis (2.5 mg) mid day has significantly dropped all the numbers , in fact the nite time is pretty low (monitoring) I had read that this was an unintended side effect and was actually pleasantly surprised
Mine (experience) got me this , this was saying fuck it and not taking the scripts periodLowpressor got me! I didn't check my pressure's and just took them like labeled. I passed out, broke my back in 2 places, was in the hospital and some shithead kept setting off an alarm and keeping me awake!... I was pissed! .... I asked who the asshole was that kept setting it off? ... When they said it was me and it was my heart hitting 30BPM!! -- Guess I was on my way out! -- Moral is! -- I check my BP daily now! ... And NO Lowpressor!
There is some validity to that Alzheimer's info, but just think, not only can you have sex, you can also remember it.Mine (experience) got me this , this was saying fuck it and not taking the scripts period
I have PVC's and PAC's both. I was told by three different Heart Doc's over the years its very likely they would have to burn the pacer and place electronics.I'm sure both of you have been evaluated for a catheter ablation.

Just NOTHING worse than having a great day and out of nowhere WTF...and I seriously feel for you. I hated it and it was hard to diagnose. Feeling my pulse all the time, thinking is this one it? To fast to count, ER 3-4 times a year. Sucked.Same here I take Atenolol for SVT and Palpitations now about 15 years or so. Was literally a life saver for me.

No doubt! Have had the shit since I was 16 years old. I think I had sooner but never could explain to my parents.Just NOTHING worse than having a great day and out of nowhere WTF...and I seriously feel for you. I hated it and it was hard to diagnose.

I don't do that shit anymore. I still feel the extra beats and they bug me but most the time I just get up and do something.
Now the double shitty part is my son has had three episodes of Tach. That is part of the you want to buy a Harley...buy the Harley mentality comes in.
I could never get that far down the specialist line, they would always just tell me to relax.! And they could never catch it on an EKG. I will say, once I got on a beta blocker, I have not gone full Tach since. (15 years now) I know you remember the feeling, you get a palp, it doesn't recover and next beat is the electrical chaos at 225 BPM. Fuck that feelin is scary.I'm sure both of you have been evaluated for a catheter ablation.

I think maybe I was actually lucky to have a known and very heavily studied syndrome, so they knew the basic area that needed to be ablated, but they still do what they call mapping. For years I was able to stop them by holding my breath, but one day I had several episodes and couldn't get them to stop so I went to the ER and got an EKG. First thing out of the doc's mouth was WPW and why are you living with this. I told him when I was 10 they told me it was tachycardia and to live with it, he said we've come a little way in 40 years. My Dr. was Marc Platt who has since retired but I understand Loma Linda still has a very good electrophysiology dept. as I'm sure many other hospitals do as well. Dr Platt was supposed to be cutting edge at the time, at least that's what he told me. He was a real character, but I owe him a lot. If you're doing well with meds that may be the best thing for you, if you have more trouble, you might consider other options, just wanted to let everyone know.I could never get that far down the specialist line, they would always just tell me to relax.!
