Doctor perscribed blood pressure med.

[Guest guest]

Valarie,for some reason, blood pressure as of late has been running l50-l60/98,

and when I went for a 4-month's checkup, it was l78/l02 so she perscribed

Benazepril which I began last night. I slept beautifully with vivid,pleasant

dreams and didn't get up 'til 8:00. BP today is l33/79. BUT this afternoon I

felt a bit SICK and restless, which the literature on this drug will happen

until the body gets used to it.

What are the effects of these medicines on adrenals and thyroid. I have

resisted getting on these for two years since my other doctor quadrupled my

Armour over about a 4-month period and I became severly hyper, but can't argue

my BP is getting dangerously out-of-hand. What can you tell me about BP meds.

I refused to take one perscribed before because I became short of breath.

Thank's for any info you might have.

Re: Re: valerie are you on adrenal support?

That depends on the individual and how the HC supresses the adrenals.

Right now I am taking 5 - 5 - 5 and just went to this today, I take 5 at

5am 5 at 10 am and then 5 at bedtime.

I can answer part of this, the one you are on, Lotension (Benazepril) is a CAD

which helps calm down what excessive adenosine does to the body. I had to go on

one about the time of menopause which is about the time I went on armor and

Isocort, so I don't know which of these two events caused my sudden switch from

too low blood pressure to way too high. Either event could have.

I meant ACE inhibitor. I am having to catch up on over 40 of these posts all at

once, due to getting a few days behind due to two broken dryers and another

health problem.
