hyzaar ace inhibitor

Is Ramipril an ace inhibitor? If so then it's the ace inhibitor. I'm on an ace inhibitor too and I have the cough, BUT I think the cough is better to have than the high blood pressure, BUT only if the cough isn't too much of a bother and doesn't keep you awake at night.

I am taking both Beta Blocker and ACE inhibitor, should both be taken in the morning?

My Blood potassium level at the time was perfectly normal at 3.6; after the spike in the ace-inhibitor my potassium level has risen in two months to 5.6, which I believe is an unsafe level. My family doctor has now asked me to go back to the 2.5 mg dosage and get re-tested after two weeks. I have read that ace-inhibitors can cause an increase in potassium levels. Any comments? Are there alternatives to ace inhibitors?

I perceive that if you are taking an ace inhibitor & then add a diuretic you would have to reduce the ace inhibitor dose to offset the diuretic as the heart would have to beat faster due to the dilation and less fluid. Would this combination cause tachycardia and how should the dose be regulated?

Reduce cardiac workload...I take an ACE inhibitor and a beta blocker (coreg) to reduce the heart's workload. The ACE inhibitor dilates vessels, etc. and most beta blockers slows and stabilizes the heart rate, but Coreg is not just a beta blocker, it also has some ACE inhibitor characteristics as well.. Doesn't the AICD control the heart rate and negate that aspect of Coreg?

It is a combination of Valsartan and the same diuretic as Hyzaar. It is essentially the same as Hyzaar which contains a combination of hydrochlorothiazide and losartan. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. Losartan is also in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists.

An ACE inhibitor dilates vessels. A dilated vessel offers less resistance and as a result blood pressure in lowered. The timing of the effects may be of less help at intervals you describe. Also, dosage may inadequate.

A beta blocker is primarily a medication for controlling heart rate. An ACE inhibitor is the most oftened prescribed medication for high blood pressure. If an ACE inhibitor has not provided relief or there are a lack of tolerance, then a calcium channel blocker. Consult with your doctor. Thanks for the question, and if you have any further questions or comments you are welcome to respond.

Lisinopril is a medicine in the pharmaceutical class called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. ACE inhibitor medicines have as one of their adverse side effects, the ability to cause cough in an individual who has not previously had a cough; a cough that persists as long as the medicine is taken. You should share this occurrence with your doctor and he/she will probably want to prescribe another blood pressure medicine, not in the ACE inhibitor class.

They currently put me on ACE inhibitor and beta blocker for my hypertension.

The only reason to not use an ACE inhibitor is if you have a cough with the ACE inhibitor or if you like to give pharmaceutical companies lots of extra money so they can pay their CEO's. If it stays up, you probably need more blood pressure medications. I hope this helps.

Looking back, I think it may have been caused by taking the inappropriate BP medication. Somehow, my PCP was stuck in ace inhibitor land, which may be an excellent BP pill but didn't do the trick for me during tx, even though we gradually quadrupled the dose. The ace inhibitor couldn't bring down my isolated diastolic (resting number) no matter what. My pulse rate slowed down within two days of stopping the riba and I'm gradually reducing the ace inhibitor.

I have been taking lisinopril for about 7 years without any notable side effects. There are different mechanism that can reduce high blood pressure. Lisinopril blocks angiotensin and angiotensin constricts vessels and when angiotensin is controlled blood vessels relax and as a result better blood flow. However, scientists also believe that the angiotensin-converting enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of other substances in the lungs.

Dr that did heart cath wanted me to start Linsopril ace inhibitor but several years ago I tried accupril and had partial swellin on my face so I was afraid to try another ace inhibitor but now I wonder if I should have. The cardiologist I first saw put me on Atenolol, Isosorbide and nitroquick. I was using between 4 and up to 10 nitros a day with these other meds so he added Ranexa. I worry because I have family history of cancer and I have a fatty liver.

However, if medication is prescribed it is an ACE inhibitor. This medicaion prohibits the kidneys fro producing angiotension. Angiotension is hormone that suppresses as a vasoconstrictor. Or there can be ARB and that lowers blood pressure by binding angiotensin to a receptor. Either can be effective and the combination of the two can be an option as well. What meds have you tried.

Hopefully, other members who are on an ACE inhibitor will respond.

What is the range of optimum tolerated bp, How many do not tolerate even a low dose of beta blocker and does it matter that much if this is discontinued providing bp, pulse and heart rhythm are still controlled, or should the ACE inhibitor be reduced or stopped first?

The usual protocol for the heart problem you describe is an ACE inhibitor (dilates vessels) and coreg (beta blocker and ACE inhibitor) and that will help get BP under control.

For some insight angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and the angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) drugs both affect the renin-angiotensin hormonal system which helps regulate blood pressure. Hope this is the information you are looking for, if not you are welcome to followup with another post. Thanks for the question and take care.

after surgey i was put on beta blocker for bloo pressure and then 3 months ago I was switched to ace inhibitor medicine to control blood pressure. . I am concerned about this low blood pressure. could some body explain , if these are bad symptoms for something worse to happen.

At that time I was taking 50 mg of Atenelol per day for heart palpitations, nothing more than OTC acid reducer. The new MD prescribed Hyzaar for HPB. I had horrible feelings so we cut it to half per day 25mg and 25 Atenelol. I still have days that I cannot function, I feel heavy in my head and chest and just have no energy at all. I have great days and horrible days but lately more horrible days. I just don't feel right.

The medication I took and take is a beta blocker, ACE inhibitor, etc. The medication will dilate vessels and the heart will not have a high resistance to pump against, and the beta blocker/ACE inhibitor will reduce heart rate as well. It took about a year for me to go from an EF 13-29% and heart size returned to normal. A dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) can have other causes, and it is difficult to assess without knowing the underlying reason. I can only relate my experience.

Is this a normal by product of the surgery, anesthesia or due to the ace inhibitor or beta blocker? He is on 2 mg Lisinopil and 35 mg of metapolol.

That is a low dose of Metoprolol, and I do not see where you are on an ACE inhibitor, which I believe are part of the MI guidelines. The beta blocker of course can make you tire easily. A 14-16 hour work day sounds a bit much to me........no wonder it takes 2 or 3 days to recover! Maybe you can try to cut back some? Your heart rate isn't that high, but higher than I would expect. I am not a doctor, though, but I would see about getting the beta blocker increased and add an ACEI.

t affect HR, like Ace inhibitor.

He told me to stop the beta-blocker cold turkey and take an ACE Inhibitor. The ACE Inhibitor is keeping the blood pressure normal, about 118/78. But the heart rate is 85 to 110 when sitting. Mostly it's 80 and 90's when sitting, but sometimes it hits 100 or more. The heart feels more rapid when up moving around and doing things. He told me to stop the atenolol right away, but I took 12.5 for 4 days, and now I haven't taken any for 3 days. Is this level of tachycardia dangerous?

That is a tough question. Her doc needs to take into account a lot of things, as I'm finding out myself in a search for the right HBP meds. I'm not sure my doc is doing that. I hope that someone here who has experience with both conditions will share their history with these meds. Do you know why her doc put her on a beta-blocker to start? While beta blockers work for some specific conditions, I think other meds are usually tried first.
