CARVEDILOL vs Lisinopril

I guess I'm a member of the hypertension club now? I woke up after only a few hours of sleep with a fullness feeling in my chest. Went to the local clinic and they did an EKG. Told me to go to the ER right away. Now I'm on Carvedilol. Can't go back to work until my blood pressure stabilizes at a low

I have been on Valsartan 80MG once a day Carvedilol 6mg twice a day I started back in late may. And OMG I’ve felt out of reality. I’m clumsy now. I can’t focus. I’m sluggish. I’m always tired. People talk to me and I have to force my self to focus. I am not myself no more. I used to be aware. Sh

Hi! I'm a 41 y.o. woman who's had high blood pressure since I was 20.

For context, I was initially in the ER back in June for a hypertensive crisis (post is in my profile).

Hello everyone! I just got home from a doctor's appointment due to some back pain. Like always, whenever I'm in the clinic, my heart cant stop beating and I'm very anxious and nervous for no reason. When the doctor took my BP, I told her that I'm feeling nervous. She told me to relax and I tried. Th

So last year I managed to hit 220/120 with a panic attack. In the hospital, I seemed to hover around 180/100 when I was discharged. Heavy drinker, eating terrible, very overweight, and under-medicated. 8 months have gone by and I've lost 60 pounds, been far more aware of my salt intake, cut out alc

3 months after an initial 177/112 reading in the hospital and 168/109 reading at the doctors the next day. I have finally begun to hit below 120/80. Currently taking lisinopril 20mg and am hoping to be off it by September which is my next checkup. I swapped diets, went from never leaving the house t

Pretty much exactly two months after my hypertensive crisis that saw me in hospital. I'm very firmly in the normal range. Unfortunately, I've got a bit of kidney damage and my eyes had hemorrhages from undiagnosed diabetes along with this. Nothing that can't be managed. The 40mg lisinopril, 10 mg

Morning BP much better, two weeks in starting Valsartan, used to take lisinoprill, now on arb, 72 years old.

When doc wanted to double my meds in May (Lisinopril 10mg to 20mg), I lost it. I thought I was on track to drop meds but didn’t have the nerve to check my own pressure at home due to anxiety about the numbers. Lost 10 lbs, eating like a vegetarian, quit booze, started walking and meditating. Grant

Just wanted to share my story of getting my BP under control as motivation for all of us who struggle with it. I am 46 yo, fit and athletic individual (155lbs, distance runner, scuba diver) who had a reasonably good diet and mild alcohol use. During a regular health checkup, my BP was very high and
