June 6, 20197 yr I take felopidine every day (2.5mg) Was shocked when I was told I had it 2 years ago, never taken a tablet previously. Do I feel better for it, not sure, but been back for a test and it's under control. Got to take the tablets forever, but I forget occasionally and don't feel any different

June 6, 20197 yr Don't underestimate how effective diet and exercise is in reducing your BP. If you can get it right and do it regularly - you can smash it. My job revolves around it and I see it everyday.
June 6, 20197 yr I take amplodomine 5mg every day & like Alf, I'm on em for life. I was very over-weight when I got diagnosed, but with a ickle help with exercise & a change in my diet (not my alcohol) I have it under control & quite a Few pounds lighter. I do feel a lot better for it though.

June 6, 20197 yr Ramipril here too, 2.5mg per day, should've been increased but not gone back yet, hoping more exercising can keep it in check

June 6, 20197 yr Didn't realise I had high blood pressure until I went for a pre-op assessment. Got put on a course of ramipril which brought it down and been on them ever since.
June 6, 20197 yr Kent- why are some folk on different ones? Do they work differently, or for different symptoms?

June 7, 20197 yr Rub your knob with a balloon until your stood to attention which in turn allows better blood flow then lob yourself down stairs

There's various different types that work in different ways - some work better for high blood pressure caused by different factors. They all have different side effects too so some aren't suitable for people with certain existing conditions or risk. Do some exercise, cut down on the salt, lose some weight if you need to, try to quit if you smoke and be sensible with the booze. Do those things with your meds and you'll smash it!

Ask for a different one eg lisinopril and try that or do as Micky says and ask for a “sartan” Ive found best way is low doses of two drugs combined so I’m on both lisinopril and felodopine at their lowest doses. No side effects and good BP control

As for "sartan" I thought he was an intellectually gifted poster on here!
June 8, 20197 yr Had a black ant viagra last night which is said to be the strongest on the planet. If that doesn’t cause high blood pressure I don’t know what will.
