What is BP?: Certain situations may be more important than controlled bp. If you have renal issues. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors may not be drugs of choice. Many issues are involved and I do not have this information. You should have asked why the er doc said you should come off the medication! by the way, you are also on hydrochlorthiazide which can lower postassium, mg, and increase uric acid!
