Experiences with

ACE inhibitors

We would be grateful to know of others’ experiences with ACE inhibitors

People taking ACE inhibitors or ARBs should limit their intake of high-potassium foods like bananas, oranges, avocados, tomatoes, white and sweet potatoes and dried fruits — especially apricots.

He has been treated with prednisone, BP meds, ace inhibitors since diagnosis they now think it is C3G. I am looking for treatment options or those also treated with prednisone. Drs have concern about long term side effects of prednisone. So far my husband has tolerated this treatment well.

Diagnosed with hypertension 18 months ago, usual ACE inhibitors took 6 months to lower BP. Then came AF, on Atenolol and Eliquis, but side effects, and GP switched me to Bisoprolol. Symptoms worsened and I ended up hospitalized and HF diagnosis with EF of 20%. On Metaprolol, Eliquis and Lasix.

I have left side heart failure and pulmonary hypertension and have no idea if this is a new symptom or even a reaction to ace inhibitors. I've been fine on them since January. Has anyone experienced this?

An article in yesterday's Sunday Mail stated that Betablockers are not the first choice now for heart problems as research shows they are ineffective; in fact, they haven't been for a while and new patients would not be prescribed them and the preferred drugs are ACE inhibitors.

Because of this ambiguity I was treated as primary FSGS, but no medication accept ACE inhibitors. To sum up, my doctor suggested to do a genetic testing, so that at least we will be able to cross one item from the list.

Am on blood thinners, ACE inhibitors and statins.

I'm very conscious of my heart and am having annoying ectopic beats - these are old foes and I had them for years; they went away when I was put on a maximum dose of ace inhibitors (I'm now taking ARB's).

Here doctor just kept me on ACE inhibitors, and did not give me anything else. Over 7 months my proteinuria has elevated to 1.9 g/day, but my doctor said that we might see deviations, important thing is to observe the trend.

It seems to be the same with other drugs like ace inhibitors, beta blockers, etc. And why the endless questions about insurance? Having a heart or other health issue will impact on insurance.

Only steroids effects me no other medication works.i also take Ace inhibitors for BP.i am prediabetic. I hope to find help from u ppl. Thanks

My daughter has developed terrible acne following B12 injections. Does anyone know how long this will last as it has had a devastating impact on her confidence.

After a few of my b12 shots, I've started to get acne on my face, back and even scalp.And I did a little research and b12 is proven to give acne to some people. And its starting to get bad now. I cannot stop the b12 shots because obviously my body needs it, the symptoms are still there. But this acne

HiI have a mixture of scars on my lower forearms both raised and flat. This is from self harm. They are fully healed. Many years ago I massaged bio oil into the affected areas.

I thought I would ask this here, maybe someone else has this issue. I have acne but just on my chin. New pimples show up regularly and are deep inside the skin and usually painful.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has noticed a worsening of acne with HCQ (or alternatively a radically increased sensitivity to sugar)? Also, I’m on omeprazole but having to have so much rennies now too as my reflux is getting much worse. Has anyone else noticed these? I feel I’m going to have

Following the example of   Clarebear I've decided to document my thyroid-adrenal journey on here in hopes it'll keep me accountable, and also may serve some after me.
