Lisinopril vs Losartan

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

Today went to see my cardiologist and no longer need to take losartan nor atorvastatin ! Got to a healthy weight and good diet that he said I no longer need the medication. Hopefully I can stay off it from now on. Im 5,8 went from 225lbs down to 185, eating a lot of food with high sodium to no/low

Hi, how is it going. Today I'm officially off blood pressure meds completely. With lifestyle changes, low sodium diet, low sugar, aerobic exercise and weight loss. I had blood pressure in the 170 to 180 systolic in January of 2025 after heart surgery on November 2024. I was 230 pounds and am current

I take 100 mg of Losartan daily, but before meds I was easily in the 140-150/90-100 range. Even after taking medication I was usually in the 130/90+ range. My resting heart rate used to sit at about 110 too. I felt like shit and my bod was so tense. But recently I stopped drinking and smoking and be

My blood pressure (seemingly) started giving me problems beginning of this year and I was put on losartan 50mg. I take that once a day and it seems to control my BP well (below 130/80). However, in the 4 months I've been on this medication, I've noticed when I'm on my period, my blood pressure shoot

Just felt compelled to write my positive experience with amlodipine. I've had high blood pressure for about 3-4 years. Average wasn't anything crazy, but around 150-160/90. I was prescribed 50 mg if Losartan, which seemed to do nothing. But I've been in it for the last 2 years. Finally, I decided Lo
