Avatar m tn that my blood pressure reading is 180 - 91 he added 5 ml lisinopril 1 daily I was directed to measure my blood pressure daily and keep a record for the scheduled appointment (8 Dec 10)
Avatar n tn t know much about heart disease or high blood pressure but let me tell you a couple things I know about this medication. Lisinopril is used to control high blood pressure and water retention. Too strong of a dosage can cause diarrhea which can cause potassium to drop low. Losartan - potassium (Cozarr) is used to control hypertension and might be a better fit for your daughters condition as the side effects are similar. I hope this helps.

Avatar f tn What questions should I ask re what type of blood pressure medication I should be on? I tried benicar and lisinopril and caused sinus drainage - however, they worked Then tried hydrochlorothiazide which cause major constipation .... Now on amlopidine beselate and coreq cr and have fatigue....seems the latter meds are overkill as I had only one coronary stent over 10 hrs ago and cardiologist a few weeks ago said my heart is fine.
Avatar f tn You should also get your blood cholesterol, lipid, triglyceride, blood sugar and thyroid levels checked. Please discuss this with your cardiologist. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.
Avatar m tn I have a question about high blood pressure medication. I found out two years ago that I have high blood pressure. I also suffer with ocd. I was put on lisinopril and amlodipine. Ever since I started taking these medications my ocd has been totally out of control. There are rituals and image problems that I have never had before and it's really getting worse. Does anyone here have anxiety problems along with HBP and the medications have made them worse?
Avatar f tn First doses of lisinopril can cause dizziness due to a drop in blood pressure. Lisinopril can cause nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, drowsiness, nasal congestion and sexual dysfunction. Lisinopril should be stopped if there are symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction including feelings of swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat. Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and hives occasionally occur.
Avatar n tn Lisinopril takes pressure off the heart and even eyes if a person has glaucoma. Pressure buildup in the heart can lead to further heart failure. Usually, doctors want the blood pressure to be low to take the workload off of the heart. The percent of which your heart is working, does not mean that there is less pressure in your heart. Lisinopril is an ace inhibitor and has proven studies showing that it can extend ones lifespan unlike beta blockers.
Avatar n tn I am 40 year old female and was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure, around 158/104-110 on average. My doctor has put me on a diuretic, 25 mg. But it seems I am urinating less frequently than before I started taking it. Is that normal? I haven't had my blood pressure taken since starting the medication. I also started birth control medicine, Loestrogen FE and am wondering if that would be the cause of my high blood pressure?
961503 tn?1247059639 I have been prescribed Simvastatin 40 MG and Lisinopril 10 MG for high cholesterol and high blood pressure (1 pill each every day) - I'm on my 2nd day of Simvastatin and will be taking Lisinopril on thursday. My doctor wanted me to not start them both at the same time so that I can see, if any, side effects Sim will have - and once I start the Lisinopril, I can see what different, if any, side effects both pills could have.
Avatar f tn The doctor put me on two 10mg capsules of Lisinopril a day. My blood pressure remains high. What causes my blood pressure to remain high even on BP meds? I do not work and do not have a lot of home stress or anything like that. I do not smoke, don't drink at all.
Avatar m tn Ur issues sound like POTS as it is a positional issue-check out this link. http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar n tn In some cases optimal blood pressure reduction may take one to two weeks. You are seeing some improvement even after 4 days. Adding or subtracting drugs without physician supervision is not a good idea.
Avatar n tn I am 71 years old. About 10 weeks ago my blood pressure went suddenly up to183/87 and went to ER. Doctors did CT scan, x-rays, blood work and found every thing normal. They just gave me anti anxiety medication and sent me home. Also me contact a cardiologist. The following week I was quite normal and my bp was never more than 130/80. Following week contacted cardiologist as a precaution. He suggested to take Carvidilol 6.25my/Lisinopril 5mg/Simvastatin 25mg/Aspirin81mg.
Avatar f tn 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. When ACE is blocked, these substances can build up in the lungs, which can ultimately lead to a chronic cough.
Avatar n tn I take 10mg of lexapro per day, plus 25mg of Hydrocklorothiazide, 50mg of Atenolol and 20mg of Lisinopril. When I started to take the Lisinopril, I would wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing and feeling as if I had a panic attach. I sucked it up and got used to the med over time and it stopped happening. My blood pressure is still not really under control, at the doc's office I am slightly up 135/89 etc.
Avatar m tn Does 5mg really work for high blood pressure? I have never really hurd of anyone taking 5mg of lisinopril for high blood pressure. Will my body withdraw or need to adjust to a lower dose? Thank you an advance.
225237 tn?1333138999 Im a 33 yr old over-weight female, with high blood pressure, pre-diabetic (insulin resistant) and now cholesterol issues! I really need some advice, help, answers!!! I also suffer from health anxiety and it concentrates on my "heart"....
1722859 tn?1309473544 However at this point of time, it is important to lower the blood pressure with this drug. In addition, exercise like walk for 45 min every morning or indulge in cycling or swimming. Simultaneously, you’ll need to ensure that the salt intake is restricted as a liberal use of salt can interfere in the control of the blood pressure. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar m tn I know that bad cholesterol can form clots in the arteries and raise blood pressure.... but If I lower the cholesterol level (which I have been doing the past month) will it help to lower blood pressure also or will the clots remain in the arteries and still have high bp?
Avatar m tn I check my blood pressure occasionally and it has gone down to sometimes 95/50. Is she or are you doing that?
