I've posted this story a couple of other times, but I think in this case it needs to be repeated.
I have a friend who was taking lisinopril, and everytime he tried to do anything that required a bit of energy, such as walking through his house, his BP dropped to the point of taking him to his knees. He has since quit taking the lisinopril, but the effects most likely will be with him for the rest of his life.
My husband was on lisinopril for approx.
Life expectancy isn't something the doctors are willing to talk about when they have a patient that is suffering heart failure, as well as renal failure. I'm stage 4 heart failure, and stage 5 renal failure.
I have an ICD implant, and do dialysis 6 days a week, for 2 1/2 hours at a time. I take Coreg, 12.5 mg/pm on dialysis days, along with 160 mg of lasix/pm, which mainly is used to remove excess potassium from my system, which dialysis doesn't do.
I am 32 years old and have been a Type I diabetic for 17 years. I have been in really tight control for the last 6 years or more with hemaglobin A1c's ranging from 5.8 to 6.5. I have recently been spilling microalbumin in my urine. At my last three endocrinologist appointments my microalbumin levels have been 70, 50, and 53, respectively. Four months ago my endocrinologist put me on lisinopril 5mg for kidney protection.
On my 30 day follow-up office visit from the following cardiocatherization I was told my heart was functioning at 25% even though I was feeling better than before I had the cardiac event in December. Even though I was feeling better the doctor increased my lisinopril to 40mg. I don't get it. I asked him why, he answered that he wanted me to start on the 40mg in the first place. I don't get it. According to what I can find out, the lisinopril slows down my heart.
You have asked a loaded question, but I would like to share the info I've learned about CHF.

Renal failure may be either chronic or acute. Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) is a progressive, irreversible deterioration of kidney function. Because cats hide their illnesses and the very early signs of CRF are subtle, this disease may only be recognized when the patient reaches the 70% deterioration level and more dramatic symptoms are observable. The seemingly sudden onset may appear to be an acute condition but is most often a crisis point of CRF.
My cat, Miss Kitty has just died from renal failure. We did not notice any symptoms except weight loss and as she was about 14,, we attributed this to being older. She was still active and eating, until one Friday night when she collapsed. We took her to an excellent vet who gave her aggressive treatment over a period of weeks, including IV fluids, saline,blood supplements, phosphorus blocker, CCRF supplements, KD cat food, and we also gave her Astro Oil.
Hi, carvedilol is a beta blocker and is indicated for the treatment of mild-to-severe chronic heart failure. Lisinopril is angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, used to treat hypertension and heart failure, So, check with your doctor why the medications have been prescribed, it may not be for hypertension alone.
I have 2 twin jack Russell terriers. today I was told one of them has renal failure. vet wanted to eutho him then and there. was totally unprepared. I brought him back home cause I can't afford the costs for an attempt to save him, which I know there is zero salvation. my question is this. I bought these twin brothers from a breeder at 12 weeks. they have never been apart since their birth. always butt and butt when they sleep. 11 yrs old.
There are a few beta blockers with evidence in heart failure -- they are carvedilol, metoprolol XL, and bisoprolol (not really used in the US). Atenolol does not have any data to support its use in heart failure, so I would recommend a different agent (one of the above). Which one to choose depends on your blood pressure and ability to take twice daily dosing vs once daily.
Chlorthalidone is a perfectly fine diuretic, if you have blood pressure room to tolerate it.
Difference between Enalapril and Lisinopril in clinical applications? How often is each drug administrated and which one is more effective?
I do not take BP medicine except for Lisinopril. I am also diabetic (type 1) and in 3rd stage renal failure (stable). Now, I have noticed that after I eat my HR drastically increases and I feel like blood is rushing into my head and I have to lay down. Sometimes it feels like I just ran and I have to take in deep breaths. I have checked by BP during these episodes and it is normal (106/65). I'm at my wits end! Any suggestions on what is going on?

Two dates missing on a current Electronic Health Record (EHR) had led me to dig up an old one. The dates are in the allergy section and they occured three weeks apart. The source was Lisinopril and then all ACE-Inhibitors, and the reactions were 'Renal Artery Stenosis' and 'INCR CREA due to R.A.S.', respectfully. I've been told this could be the source of my kidney atrophy and the reasion I have ESRD.
Renal anomalies could be responsible for decreased or deranged renal function and may lead to renal failure. One working kidney is enough for normal functions of the body. It would be difficult to comment if your other symptoms could be related. I would suggest discussing the situation and the suggested management plan in detail with your treating nephrologist.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!
The throwing up became very bad so I took him to a different vet that after a urine test was able to establish Teddy was in 75% kidney failure. Some Medication was given but he has become increasing worse. Vet suggested an IV Solutuion but after researching it on the internet decided my little guy's quality of life and his always wanting to please is not fair to him. To prolong the inevitable for something that may not work is not fair to him or me.
I have an intra-renal aneurism on my aorta (3.5 cm, they said) ... My blood pressure is well-controlled with Amlodipine and Lisinopril but I'm wondering to what extent sex increases blood pressure. I'm thinkin' any increase in blood pressure could hasten a rupture of the aneurism. Should I give up sex?
