lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide
Antihypertensives are a class of drugs that are used in medicine and pharmacology to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). There are many classes of antihypertensives, which—by varying means—act by lowering blood pressure. Evidence suggests that reduction of the blood pressure by 5-6 mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 40%, of coronary heart disease by 15-20%, and reduces the likelihood of dementia, heart failure, and mortality from cardiovascular disease.....

100% Q: i am taking blood pressure meds lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide?
is it ok to take Apple Cider Vinegar from Bragg and does it low your blood pressure ? hope i tfind the answer from doctors, pharmacists and people with high blood pressure , i wish all the best in your life
A:I can't see any reason why it would not be ok to take Apple Cider Vinegar with your medication but I don't believe that it will help to reduce your blood pressure. The claims that it lowers blood pressure are based on the fact that it contains potassium - which is shown to reduce blood pressure. However the amount it contains is less than you would find in a banana so I doubt it has much effect.
You can try increasing the amount of exercise you do or reducing the amount of salt in your diet.

100% Q: Hydrochlorothiazide & Lisinopril?
I'm 18 and been diagnosed with high bp no more than 3 weeks ago. I've been on hydrochlorothiazide taking it everyday, and cut off all caffiene and energy drinks since then and been on a very low sodium diet, sometimes not eatin very much out of concern about the whole situation. I'm not overweight and in shape, and close to having a full 6-pack ;-p lol. Today, early durin school, my blood pressure shot up to 171/115. My usual Dr. wasnt in so a diff. one gave me Lisinopril. He said to take it and my hydrochlorothiazide and the Lisinopril as soon as I got home, (keep in mind the first was already in my system from having taken it earlier and he knew that), and then he says it shouldn't lower it alot, but either that or sleepin when I got home did, cuz it pretty much stayed around 125/85 and lately a lil lower, right now it's 129/83, then he says to take them both about right now... SO.... (sry for this being so long)... my question is, should I take it? or would this be too much meds?
A:First, I hope the physician treating you has already ruled out secondary causes of hypertension. The reason being is that you are very young, sounds like you are in shape, and I don't know your family history.
Some secondary causes are: renal artery stenosis, pheocytochroma, cushings, etc.
Now to answer your question, lisinopril is better known to stabilize blood pressure than cause hypotension (very low blood pressure). Think of it as a medication that controls it from going up by stopping something in your blood. It is likely OK to take both, but as always, monitor you blood pressure regularly and watch for signs of hypotension (low blood pressure).
Addendum: Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) usually comes in 12.5, 25, & 50. My guess is that you are on 25. Lisinopril usually comes in 10, 20, 40, & 80. If you are on the max doses, obviously you are at greater risk of hypotension. If you ever have questions, it is always best to ask your primary or prescribing physician than random people on yahoo answers who have no idea of your history and med dosages.

100% Q: I take Lovastatin for cholesterol and Lisinopril 10mg and hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg for high blood pressure?
my question is that my bottom eyelid starts to tremble on its own like if I was nervous this never happened to me before. Does anyone know if this is a side affect of any of the pills mentioned above? or maybe a new condition
A:The twitching of the eyelid is not listed as a side effect on these medications, as far as I know. Are you not perhaps stresses at the moment, perhaps about your health or another issue. The twitching will go away. Lovastatin is a statin drug which results in the body's Co-enzyme Q10 level being depleted. This is serious and you may find over time that you have muscle fatigue and or pains. You have to supplement with Co-enzyme Q10 (Co-Q10) at least 100mg per day. The body's biggest user of Co-Q10 is the heart. The gradual depletion of Co-Q10 in the body is one of the side effects of statin drugs, but not really acknowledged by the pharmaceutical companies.
