LISINOPRIL FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: Is it right for you? | What are the Side Effects?

I think the Lisinopril is causing my excessive tiredness.

[@msimbo93]

Great video and advice, and much easier that reading the fine print on the bottle or handout you get from the pharmacy! I was almost in the same scenario as your patient, except younger. I was 40 when I went to the dentist and they would not work on me because of my high BP. Over time, I made the lifestyle changes, and now I am 50 and much healthier and on the lowest dosage possible. I am still glad I went on Lisinopril because it prevented a lot of damage to my body while I was trying to implement the lifestyle changes. I should that I have a long family history of heart disease and heart attack, and my brother had a stroke at the age of 46. I have seen how heart disease can impact your life.

Lisinopril within 6 months started to make me fall. I was into the emergency office twice after falling in the shower. The doctor I talked to after the second fall told me only 1% of people fall from the medication but did not recommend that I get off of it. I still do not trust doctors.

I've been on 10 mg of lisinopril along with 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide daily for the past year to treat new onset essential hypertension. So far so good. I do a heavy cardio workout for 70 minutes, 5 days per week. I do have a slight cough, but I'll tolerate this for the therapeutic effects of this medication. I have no side effects from the hydrochlorothiazide, other than its intended effect.

[@Jennifer-gr7hn]

No such thing as "essential hypertension." It's also an effect with a cause. Underlying issues need to be explored. There is always a reason. "Heavy cardio" causes hypertension due to the high cortisol level and sympathetic nervous system. The ACE inhibitors also "help" covid get into the blood vessels. Be careful....

[@Tomatohater64]

@@Jennifer-gr7hn Jennifer, I am not a physician. I am a retired Registered Nurse with 32 years of critical care and operating room experience. My PCP, who uses the term "essential hypertension" very specifically with me, has been my doctor for 14 years. Along with a mountain of international clinical experience, he is a superb diagnostician who I personally picked after several disappointing physicians before him. He spent almost two hours with me on my initial office visit asking me very specific medical questions. May I also tell you that besides his medical doctorate, he holds another Ph.D. in nutrition & pathophysiology along with his masters in public health. I have had no issues with the competency of his care as he constantly attends various professional lectures on advanced cardiology. I see the term "essential hypertension" used everywhere on various academic medical sites. I'm not going to argue with you here but there's no way I'm changing physicians. My medical knowledge is limited but after working with physicians, surgeons, and medical specialists every day for well over three decades, I will make my own decisions about which doctor I see. Your information is appreciated; however, we must agree to disagree. Good luck with your future endeavors.

I had a heart attack well over twenty years ago and was placed on 10mg Lisinopril even though my blood pressure was never high. Less than 110 over 70. It is now consistently around 100/ 60. But I still take the stuff daily. When I ask the question why? I always get the same answer. It does more than help with blood pressure. It really doesn't seem to have any side effects for me, at least any I know of after being on it for twenty plus years. I do get quite dizzy many times when I exert a little too much.

Hiya Doctor, I hope you see this! I've been on lisinopril for a long time, along with indampide and bisoprolol for my blood pressure. (No diagnosis given yet, just resistant hypertension) Recently, my dosage has been increased to 40mg and then to 80mg due to it being harder to control. Since this change, i've been excessively sweating, you'd think I'd have hyperhydrosis with how bad it currently is! I've even had to carry around a small towel when I just go for small walks (say the length of a field) and you'd think i've just gotten out of the shower. Do you think there is a connection between the sweating and the dosage change of lisinopril? Should I contact my GP? Many thanks!

@@eltooyo2 Thanks. I take the time-released version also. But I am only on 25 mgs.To be honest I didn't even like it at first, as it lowered my heart-rate too much and had me feeling very tired and dragging thru even simplest chores. So I reduced it to half of a tablet. Now I am taking the full 25 mgs as my blood pressure started creeping up! But my body has adjusted to it and it no longer has the 'slughish' effect on me. Knock Wood! I really wouldn't take metoprolol at all if I hadn't developed Afib about 2 years ago. But it's a necessary evil now. I am going to try and ween myself off the Lisinoprel.

I made him leave work and head to a Dr.s office or Hospital. That's not to play around with. And he only way 151 lbs. I'm Guessing he has circulation issues. He also has 2 stints . Me myself, I was Diagnosed with HBP in 2019. I was prescribed metoprolol and losartan. My pressured hovered around 135/89. After a year, sometime during the Pandemic. My Heart started beating alot harder. It would pound in my chest. Palpitations. Usually when I awake in the morning and my heart rate was way to fast. Like 115 bpm. One morning it's was so bad and I was so scared, I thought I was having a Heart attack at 6am in the morning, my Girlfriend rushed me to the E..R. and my pressure was 175/99 and Heart rate 120 bpm. This was while on the medication. The Dr. Immediately started an IV and gave me medication to bring it my pressure down and metoprolol to slow my Heart Rate. ❤️ They then told me about Amplodipine. Said it relaxes hardened blood vessels and arteries allowing much better blood flow. The gave me 2 (5 ) MG tablets and a hour later, my Heart was no longer thumping in my chest. It was Beating softly and my BP pressure was down to 120/75 Heart rate 75. I was now in love with Amplodipine. I ve been on it well over a year now. Alongside metoprolol and losartan at 5 mg per tablet per 1 per day. Now my pressure is amazing my Dentist and Dr.s when I do check ups. 105/70. Someone I feel a little too low at 99/65 BUT , My Dr.s and Dentist say it's wonderful numbers and good job staying on the medication taking them regularly. Lately I've started skipping doses of the Amplodipine, which my Cardiologist said was a good idea and good thinking. When I check my BP before the medication and it's 108/69. I'm not taking the Amplodipine nor losartan. It would make no sense taking it at the point. I'm too low already. I only take metoprolol at that point for a nice steady Heart rate of 75 to 80 bpm.

Give it about 10 minutes to work in your arteries then you can drink your medication and eat your break fast. ACV apples cider vinegar is very good for lowering BP and A1C. Also i drink fish oil vitamins after my dinner to help lower my A1C since i only drink my diabetes medication twice a day breakfast and lunch.

some say that you cannot feel high blood pressure, well, i feel it! i brought my clients to emergency room with me, while i felt my blood going up! my blood pressure was 223 over 177! I'm on lisinapril! and hydrochorithiazide i have blood pressure spikes! i was a power lifter. not on any enhancement drugs. just pure human strength. I've always been into health and fitness. but, my anxiety makes things tense in my body. i have always had a tremor, my tremor has gotten worse.. so they put me on a beta blocker, due to, even tho I'm on two blood pressure meds, my blood pressure still raises, so a beta blocker doesn't harm me at all. but, the beta blocker is expensive, if i don't have my insurance card available.

[@ErikRichardsonDO]

Definitely when your blood gets that high you can have symptoms and that's dangerous. That's certainly something you want to be in the ER for. Unfortunately some people may need multiple agents to control blood pressure. BBlockers can be a good choice especially when you have anxiety as well but there should be some good generic and more affordable options. Talk to your doctor about other cheaper options that are out there like metoprolol, atenolol and propranolol. I have a review of another affordable bp med that you can talk to your doctor about as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKqrmWekmceMfas Thanks for watching!

I was put on 5mg/day and initially had dizziness but it went away. After 5 weeks I had visual light sensitivity and it wasn't lowering BP at all. I put up with 3 days of seeing "camera flashes" in bright indoor lights and it scared the crap out of me. I stopped it immediately & refused to take any more. Doctor switched me to metoprolol, been on that 1 year and it works like a champ! My vision eventually returned to normal. Eyesight is way too valuable to be messed with! Lisinopril is poison!!

It's not a common side effect but it is possible. If your doctor thinks it's right for you then try it and see what happens. You can always switch to something else. Untreated high blood pressure not only causes heart disease but also can contribute to ED as well.

Thank you Dr. Richardson for the very concise video! I am 49 and use to be on HTz 25mg. I felt so tired on it so I weaned myself off it and was staying 130-140 80/90s, creeping up as my weight was creeping up and going through perimenopause. I am 5'9 168 so not horrible, but having a hard time getting down to 152-154 where my bp will come down, so with a having my dear mother pass die of a massive heart attack at the age of 63 and two brothers under the age of 55 dying also of a heart attack my Dr. wants to me to start Lisinopril in a couple of months if it doesn't come down then through diet and exercise. I will take it but I am worried I have already done damage..now I am obsessing this(probably causing even more high BP:( My last eye exam was good in Sept. I know that if damage has already started it can be seen in the eyes right? And I have had good C Reactive values. Anyway, I better start on the Lisinopril..I don't want to tempting fate too much!
