Blood pressure pills

[hedgehogan]

Hi there,

I understand there are quite a lot of different medicines to treat high blood pressure. Can people share their experience in terms of which ones you have tried and are effective while having minimal side effects?

Thanks in advance

It seems to differ for everyone.

Personally I'm on Amlodipine 5mg, and Olmersatin 10mg.

They are working well and I've had no side effects. For me!

It is important to spread the medication if extra is needed- ie - not just increase the first one, but to add another variety-- mainly to help avoid any potential side effects.

Good luck.

what suits me might not suit you! Have a look at the website of Blood Pressure UK. This charity’s website delves a bit deeper into what there is.
