Feeling numbness in your toes can be caused by problems with blood circulation, injury, nerve damage or even disease. However, this could also be due to some medications such as the combination of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide that is used to treat high blood pressure. Lisinopril is in a group of drugs called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) while Hydrochlorothiazide is in a class of diuretics.

I have been being treated with atenolol then started lisinopril @ 10mg, upped to 20 then 40mg over the last 2 months with no change in my BP. It is still 160/100 range. Is it likely I will show a response to these meds over the next several weeks? Are some people just resistant to the meds? Thank you.

About 3 years ago my husband was on lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide. After taking it for approx. 6 months, he crashed and had to be rushed to the ER with extremely low potassium levels. The doctor who had prescribed the lisinopril had told him to stay away from high potassium foods, or supplements, which he did, and when he went down he was extremely weak, was power vomiting all over the place, and lost the better part of his vision.

I had an appointment with my doctor and we talked about it and he changed be to lisinopril. I took it one time and about 2-3 hours after I took it the symptoms, all of them, were back stronger than ever. Especially the trembling. It's pretty clear to me that there is a cause-effect relationship here. So it's been about 3 weeks since I took the lisinopril and I'm back to where I was before I took it. I have some symptoms, mostly the tingling and the needle-like pains.

66-year-old, resonably healthy, normal weight, female now taking 10 mg lisinopril daily for BP with very good results. Without lisinopril, bp was running about 145-90 or 95. Also taking 10 mg Lipitor daily. Developed kidney stones. Took 24-hour urine test and was told that I was "spilling calcium". Unable to collect the one stone that was passed. Question: Do urologists suggest taking diuretic plus a bp med or a combination drug such as Maxide?

He is on hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg daily (this appears to be contraindicated with the keppra???) and 10mg every 12hours Lisinopril. Brian bottomed out in the hospital on day 8ish -naseated, pale, clammy and then passed out with a BP of 75/50. This was 12 hours after I had a bitey conversation with the cardio that he was on too many meds that lower the bp too much for him to recover. His doses were lowerd. Last night (SAT 26) Brian bottomed out in the bathtub.

I have smoked occasionally for a total of 5 years (maybe 1 pack per month, if you combine it all together. I am not smoking now. I have been having extremely short duration stabbing pain (as if with a needle) on the left side of my chest and on the left forearm. The duration lasts maybe a millisecond. The extent of coverage of the pain is only pinpoint area on my chest and forearm. They appear and disappear right at the same time.

When it appears that beta blockers help or reduce my PVCs, I take them , when I i suspect it might contribute I tapper off, for the last 16 months 25mg of atenolol 4 times daily seems to have worked wonders for my pvcs, also might be because it is combined with cozaar 50mg daily , who knows? With medication it is all trial and error.

BP meds typically are outsmarted by the kidneys over time so long term that is necessary Very cheap combo is lisinopril/hctz and very effective They make combination pills of both drugs If you get a cough as ace inhibitors can sometimes cause, you can switch to angiotensin receptor blocker. Similar effect but these are newer and more expensive and they are also paired usually with HCTZ to prevent the kidneys from holding onto salt in water when they realize the blood pressure is lowered.

I ran about 150-160/90's before, now run 130-140/mid-upper 80s on 20 mg Lisinopril qd. I feel like this isn't low enough. I recently had an MRI/MRA of my head for unrelated reasons, and the report came back with changes "most consistent of involutional small vessel white matter changes beyond upper limits of normal for patients age. Consider small vessel ischemic risk factors such as untreated hypertension." Does this mean I need better control of my hypertension?

Guidelines would suggest hydrochlorothiazide (low dose) as a 1st line agent for blood pressure or if you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, Lisinopril (low-dose) for blood pressure management.

You know, if that happened to me, I would be thinking 24/7 wondering where the koala bear and wasp face was coming from. Do you have any idea why this combination was chosen? did you have a toy one as a child?

I also have the creepy bloating that many people on here have mentioned and alternating constipation and diarrhea. Has anyone else else had this sort of combination of things happen suddenly? Especially the hypertension? Thanks in advance for any insights any of you may have.

And to add to the confusion, my tx doc liked the combo treatments like Hyzzar which combine the angiotensin II receptor Losartan with the diruetic hydrochlorothiazide. All this left me one very confused guy :) and lately I've been experimenting with both losartan and hydrochlorothiazide either solo or in combination to see what actually works as no sense taking a combo like Hyzaar if one drug is simply going along for a free ride without benefit.

Cozaar is a relelatively new class of ACE inhibitors (angio-tensin converting enzyme). Hyzaar is a combination of Cozaar and the widely prescribed diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide. As to Olive Oil per Rocker's suggestion -- given the amount of olive oil I consume a day, I'd probably need meds to *raise* my bp if olive oil had the magical properties suggested. Same with chocolate as some studies seem to suggest chocolate will lower bp. Well, maybe, but not mine!!!

However the chest discomfort and tightness has continued for months almost daily and my doc says she thinks it is combination of anxiety which i do have and possible costochondritis as chest does feel littele tender and movement even walking seems to aggrevate pain.My biggest concern is that in last 4 weeks i seem to have developed some leg oedema on both sides not major but still a new symptom for me.
