Question 1

hypertensive crisis response to medications (beta blockers, diuretics, calcium channel blockers, arbs, etc.) (lisinopril no problem though) & foods ( any vinegar, oats soy, cream of rice, agave. not allergy. what type of dr. should i see help?

Accepted Answer

: We need more details to address your concern. When I have a patient resistant to multiple blood pressure medications or not controlled on several medications, I look for secondary hypertension. This comes from training as an internist. I have worked with hypertension specialists who do the same.

Question 2

is cardura (doxazosin) a reasonable second bp drug with lisinopril when ccbs, diuretics, beta blockers are not well tolerated?  also on b-agonists for asthma.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is an option: Cardura (doxazosin) or another alpha blocker type drug is an option when the other classes of drugs mentioned are not well tolerated. Alpha blockers can cause dizziness so they are best taken at night to minimize this effect. The dose needs to be increased slowly. Make sure you are exercising and minimizing salt, alcohol and caffeine as well.

Question 3

does lisinopril 5mg internl lb contain a diuretic?

Accepted Answer

Lisinopril : If the pill bottle of your Lisinopril (l) does not read hctz, (hydrochlorothiazide) the pill does not contain a diuretic.  Diuretics are always mentioned in addition to the medicine they accompany. I do not understand what  "internl lb" means in your question.

Question 4

lisinopril acts as a diuretic ?

Accepted Answer

lisinopril: Is not a diuretic, it is an ace inhibitor.

Question 5

how does the combination of lisinopril (an acei) and hydrochlorthiazide (a diuretic) act to lower blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: ACE-I is a weak blood vessel dilator and diuretic decrease vascular volume and can also cause some vessel dilation. The two drugs add together to lower pressure.

Question 6

can i take two lisinopril/hctz 20-25 for blood pressure instead of taking one lisinopril 40. my body gets so bloated when i stop taking the diuretic. ?

Accepted Answer

Substitution?: You need to speak to your physician (P) about your feeling bloated when you stop taking diuretics. Your P knows you best and is the one you should ask to answer your question. You should ask about taking lisinopril 40 mg with 25 mg of HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) once/daily. Good luck.

Question 7

before my diuretics, lisinopril and clopidogrel prescription for poor bp management. i wasn't feeling tired and unwell like feel since almost four months on them. and yet the bp has not normalised, the make tired, bloated tummy and loose stools, why?

Accepted Answer

Recheck &amp; Med change: If your BP is still high then the fatigue cannot be attributed to low readings, &amp; might be a med side effect (not very common with the meds you listed) or possible low sodium or potassium from the meds, or even a new thyroid problem or anemia. If you have not had lab work
recently I recommend that, &amp; also ask Dr to consider a different class of BP meds. Regular exercise, healthy eating&amp;  sleep too

Question 8

can you tell me is lisinopril a beta blocker?

Accepted Answer

Lisinopril: Lisinopril is not a beta blocker. It is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.
