AMLODIPINE vs Lisinopril

35 male with high BP my entire life Been on it for 1 year and 5 months. Started at 5 mg for like 3 or 6 months then went to 10 mg. Seems I have a barrage of symptoms I’ve never had before in my life for the last 6 months. Extreme daytime sleepiness***** The chills like 15 times a day ***** Swollen

I was hungover, ate prosciutto, hands were shaking like crazy. I thought I'd measure it just for the fun of it. It wasn't fun when the numbers never in 10 measurement went lower than 210/120, going to the ER made things worse. It was all in my head. But we fixed it. Hell started. 2 months passed and

Just wanted to brag on myself a bit here. Since February I've been taking GLP-1 and I'm down 45lbs (247-202). My GW is 170 so I still have a ways to go but recently I've been having weird dizzy spells when bending down and standing back up. There are a lot of potential causes of course, but my BP ha

So I do not know exactly where to start, this whole process seems to me like an XXL episode of Dr. House with no end. So it all started with a head pressure about 3 weeks ago, I dont know exactly how to describe this I would not say that its a headache, much more like air is building up in my bra

I am concerned whether something could happen in 1 week… I live in another country and can’t get to him (no visa). He was told to take a

I wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone who might be in the same confusing situation I was in. I’m a **46 year old male,** fairly active, healthy weight, and generally careful with my lifestyle. About a year and a half ago, I started paying closer attention to my blood pressure, whi

Just wanted to share my story of getting my BP under control as motivation for all of us who struggle with it. I am 46 yo, fit and athletic individual (155lbs, distance runner, scuba diver) who had a reasonably good diet and mild alcohol use. During a regular health checkup, my BP was very high and

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for 6-7 years now, back in 2020 it was as high as 160/110, and no meds helped me until I finally went on 40 mg of Lisinopril and 12.5 mg of HCTZ. Last year I got into a minor car accident and they incidentally found a small tumor on my left adrenal gland. T

I have had stage two hypertension for almost a decade now, at age 37. It's mostly my regular body so it hasn't been possible to reach normal levels without meds. I was on 5 mg Lisinopril and 5 mg of amlodopine for a while, but after losing weight and exercising I was able to go off amlodopine. But t

I went to the doctor today to be seen for retina problems arising from high blood pressure..but, when they took my blood pressure (I have been on beetroot for about a month now), they said my blood pressure was 100/68? I could not believe it, I thought they were going to give me lisinopril or someth

Losing hope For the sake of brevity, I’ll leave out a long story that goes with this. 35 male other wise healthy Treatment resistant hypertension with PVCs and tachycardia since 18 years of age. On 4-5 BP meds nothing really works. Renal artery scan - nothing Aldosterone abnormalities - none Adrena
