What high blood presure medication do you take?

My husband has only one that take care of his blood pressure. He told me that he has almost heart attact long time ago. But its not no because he change his diet from meat eater to vegetable eater. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. He is not takng any medication because he just change his eating styles.

I take Lisinopril. I started on the lowest dosage, which is 10mg. I now take the highest dosage, which is 40mg. I also have diabetes, which makes high blood pressure harder to control. I take 20 mg twice a day. When I was taking the medicine once a day, I would have high spikes. So, taking it twice a day controls it better, for me.

I have been taking a high blood pressure medicine for quite some time but I was taking it to control a rapid heartbeat. Its a beta blocker called Atenolol. I am up to 100mg once a day. I have since developed high blood pressure while on this medication so they then gave me a diuretic called Hydrochlorot 25mg. I also take that once a day. I have only been taking that one for about a month and I am going back to the doctor soon to see if it had any affect. The weird thing is that my boyfriend takes the same medication as me but his dosages are lower. I also take a baby aspirin everyday to help prevent a stroke or heart attack.

I take HCTZ, a diuretic in the morning. Hate it, I have to go to the bathroom all the time all day, but at least I don't have to go at night. Lobetteral is such a huge amount that it's split. Half in the AM and half in the PM. Other wise, I just sleep all the time without the meds and sleep all the time with the meds. Too little meds, I sleep. But mostly because my heart rate is horribly fast, I get tired out moving. It's like my heart is running when I'm standing still. It started when I hit menopause. My testosterone levels were always high due to polysystic ovarian syndrome. Now I don't have the estrogen to counter-balance it. It was making my heart run wild. But the amount of meds, no matter what type of blood pressure meds they put me on, I slept all the time. So my meds are divided between morning and night. Now I'm awake during the day and sleep at night. Doctors gave me too much in the AM only and my body just couldn't take it. Pill form is how I take it. It took a year before the right meds, the right amount, and the right timing. I was so discouraged, high bp, sleep, meds sleep, so what was the difference? Except that without meds, I could go longer without sleeping! You may have reactive blood pressure. Reacts to stress, salt, etc. When I was young, if I ate salt, like ham or salted popcorn, I came out 150 over 100. But no salt and I was 120/70. So I didn't eat salt any more. I also went through a period of time when my blood pressure was high due to overactive adrenal glands. So they knocked those down. In your doctor team, did you have a urologist and an endocrinologist? They are really important as well as a heart specialist. Hang in there, you'll figure it out. Don't just chart your hbp, chart what you eat and what's going on in your life. It may be pain that triggers it too, my bp goes up when I'm in pain from my arthritis or from my sinus or ear infections. So also chart your general health. Take care
