Comment:
Began Hydrochlorothiazide with Verapamil for BP treatment at age 39. Then Lisinopril was added at age 43 for my treatment. I have been very satisfied with the results and correction of my BP over the years with very minimal side effects. The only major side effect I have had is occasional light headedness when standing to quickly. Regular lab work has always been within range. Thank You!

Started with lisinopril and HCTZ separately. Developed heat flash/redness. Switched to combo pill. Lately BP risen. Told to double intake. Started to cramp. Told to increase K. Not sure if I want to take 25mg again. Will try more OJ first for K supplement.

Was first put on 12.5 mg and a month later increased me to 25 mg which made my bp shoot up high, 165/118, along with a lot of muscle spasms, sweating, leg and feet cramps, tension headache from lower temple, across face, bridge of nose to the other lower temple, joint pain, extreme dry mouth and bad constipation. Ended up in the ER with bp of 165/118 and small amounts of blood came out of my nose. ... Show Full Comment

Ended up in the ER with bp of 165/118 and small amounts of blood came out of my nose. Enough to scare the crap out of me. This is my 4th hbp medicine and have been allergic to all 4 - every bp family of medicines. Am going to find an alternative medicine route to try.

Reading all the negative reviews had me worried before I started taking this (25m), but after a month I have to say its worked out great for me! Not only battling with high blood pressure at a young age (per dr), being anemic
