ACE Blood pressure pills

Morning hope everybody okay , just wanted to ask if anyone takes bp pills ? i was put on them for first time 10 days ago for unstable blood pressure im on 2mg Perindoprill am 62 also suffer with bad Anxiety which doesnt help my bp , i have extopic beats have had almost as long as i can remeber , but woke up with a few this morning and was wondering if bp pill makes them worse ,i noticed in there leaflet that ACE low risk stroke or heart attack when pressure low but its rare my bp goes low in evening and at night i didnt read anything about palpations ect my bp was always higher in mornings mostly or at hospitals and at times at the doctors regards Holly

Hello Holly

I, too, am on blood pressure tablets but was prescribed them for a ventricular ectopic beat ( bisoprolol fumarate 5 mg daily) A good side effect is that they keep my blood pressure down. My heart beats are much more regular now.

I have E.T. Jak neg, Cal positive and am on daily asprin and Hydroycarbamide for 9 years now.

I am 64.

Regards Judith

Hi I have PV and take Ramipril for high bp which keeps it under control. I have complained in the past about palpitations but was told not to worry about them. Take care, best wishes Aime x

Hi Catwoman, I am also on an ACE Inhibitator Linsinapril have been for years works well for me, sometimes I get palpitations if stressed, but they are some of the best on the market for BP, take mine of a night time just before going to bed, as my heart specialist told me best time to take. I am also on Hydroxycarbamide and Asprin as I have ET, so just go with the flow.

Thank you superwoman, sounds very simalar as mine , so hopefully it work well for me , could be my anxiety giving me palpations beta blocker slows my heart rate anyway but not always the flutters , regards Holly

Know how you feel, so very hard to comprehend having to take so many drugs, but once I take them I just get on with things, this site is wonderful so many people to give advise and help. just give them time, if you are not happy speak with your doctor, maybe he can change to another ACE Inhibitator as there are a lot on the market, but it seems to me you are doing all the right things, so chin up.

I tried lisinipril {sp] but developed a dry cough so had to get off it. Now calcium channel blocker and doing well.
