Four months ago my endocrinologist put me on lisinopril 5mg for kidney protection. He would like to increase my dose but cannot because my blood pressure is borderline low as it is. I am really scared about what this all means for the future health of myself and my kidneys. I am interested in any information available abouth the long term implications of this (specifically, the time frame of progression), how commonly this occurs, can it reverse, and any other information/advice.
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?
My blood pressure has been high for years even when taking medication. It does fluctuate and at times the pressure is normal.
A kidney cysts is basically a bag of fluid that is on the surface or interior of a kidney. These occur more frequently as we get older and are rarely of any consequence.. If the cyst meets the specific ultrasound criteria for diagnosing a cyst, then further work-up need not be pursued. These would not be expected to degenerate into cancers nor would they be expected to resolve.
I didn't realize I had an answer to this as I hadn't received any notification of such. I thank you. Now I have another question.
I am now on 40 mg of Lisinopril per day. After 13 days of this my BP readings suddenly started being fantastic and remained that way for 9 days. I'm talking numbers (on top) like 106, 111, 98, etc. Then they started coming up again. I also started having some spells where I couldn't breathe.
20 mg in 7 am , and 20 mg Lisinopril in 7 pm (so total = 40 mg Lisinopril per day). During the day (systolic) hypertension goes 150-160 mmHg and only in 2-4pm it is 130 mmHg (and at 10-12 pm). What should be done for this patient. Maybe trying a diuretic (hydrochlorthiazid) and lowering the dose of Lisinopril? Please tell what do you think of the doses to start trying, how often and when during the day? (P.S.
This was called a NSTEMI This is my first problem ever. I refused a beta blocker and lisinopril becasue pre and post stent I have never had HIgh BP or tachycardia. I did take new aspirin regimen of 81 daily plus 75 of Plavix and Lipitor for a previously known High cholersterol I had refused to treat.
Question is. Why ace inhibitor and beta blockers when I am not presenting any problems of HBP or HR?
I am a professional violinist and recently developed an essential tremor in my bow arm which interferes greatly with my playing. My neurologist tried primidone but it has helped only a little. I asked if he could put me on Inderal which I understand can help with essential tremor.
However -- the doctor pointed out that I am already on lisinopril (for hypertension) which, he claimed, ALSO is effective in treating essential tremor.
t answer that for you. From what I can find about Lisinopril, it looks like it can do a good job of controlling the protein and protect your kidneys. If you can do that, your load road might be easier to take. The best thing you can do to protect your kidneys is to control your blood pressure, take ACE inhibitor medicines like Lisinopril, and continue to test regularly. You've got work to do to stay healthy, but it can be done. It sounds like you are taking the right steps. Good luck.
I have been taking 40 mg lisinopril for 3 months. It works on my BP but I am coughing and my nose is running.
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.
I'm a 60 year old, who, over 7 years has lost 60 lbs, and with the help of meds reduced my cholesterol, and high blood pressure. All my labs are excellent, including testosterone, potassium and magnesium. Nothing out of range. Over time, as my weight has decreased, the meds have come down. Now, I'm @210 (still overweight) and on low dosages of Lisinopril (10mg), Toprol XL (25mg), and a diuretic (37.5). Over the past 4 weeks, I've experienced some morning sluggishness and ED.
My pediatrician ran all the tests he could (I am scheduled to see a cardiologist in january and I am scheduled for a renal ultrasound this fall), being the specific professional that he is, which all came back normal. These tests included an array of blood tests, stool samples, electrocardiograms, general vital signs, and chest x-rays. Over a period of three months, my blood pressure read as high (140-150 systolic and 85-92ish diastolic) at each appointment.
I am 49 and just diagnosed with Celiac disease so now I am on a strict gluten free dies. I have also had gastric bypass so I don't eat much. 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.
Looking for good new...found out I am pregnant and am taking Lisinopril 10mg. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Routine monitoring of calculated creatinine clearance and serum phosphorus should be performed in patients at risk for renal impairment.
Dosing interval adjustment of VIREAD and close monitoring of renal function are recommended in all patients with creatinine clearance <50 mL/min [See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor and the mechanism of the agent is to dilate vessels to reduce hypertension. Metoprolol is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
Metoprolol is used to treat angina and hypertension for high blood pressure. It is also used to treat or prevent heart attack.
My regimen is Lisinopril and coreg (beta blocker).
I first noticed early beats shortly after my Lisinopril dose was increeased to 20mg from 10mg, I take for mild high blood pressure. I informed my doctor about this coorelation but he dismissed it. If my research is correct, Lisinopril can take about 7 hours to begin to work in the body and reaches it's peak potency after about 12 hours.
