High Blood Pressure Medication

[PBCTracy]

I was wondering if anybody took any high blood pressure medication?I was prescribed 10 mg of Lisinopril last week by my Family Doctor.But I always check with my Hepatologist before taking any new medication.He gave me the go ahead to take it.But to take it at night since it can cause dizziness.

Hi there,

I too take blood pressure medicine. Have been on it about 10 years. Was first giving Lisinopril but it did make me dizzy. Now I take Irbesartan, no side effects thankfully.

I take enalapril every morning. Been taking it before pbc diagnosis. My hepatologist has a list of all the meds & vitamin supplements that I take. He runs down the list every time I see him in case of any updates.

I have been on Irbesartan for 15 yrs with no side effects, recently had to add another hypertensive medication tried 3 different ones before I found one without side effects. Side effects I experienced were dizziness, nausea, flushing ++++ and urinary problems.

I’m been taking lisinopril 10g for year. I don’t get dizzy. I take it in the morning with food. It did help my blood pressure to be in the normal range.

I used to take lisinopril and amlodipine for high BP. Last year my potassium level went way up (.03% below life threatening) so I was taken off lisinopril. I was experiencing muscle (stomach) cramps. The amlodipine dose was increased. Before that I had no side effects.

I am on no med... losartan and it occasionally makes me dizzy not all the time.... which in turn makes me nauseated. Usually lisinopril causes a cough or swelling

Hi Tracy, I take lisinopril (10 mg) each night before I go to bed and it doesn't affect me.
