You have certainly been busy. Stenosis is certainly one of the first diagnosis they look for as a cause.

I to am on spironoactone, a drug used to lower aldosterone and drive up potassium. My main diagnosis so far is hyper aldosteronism, and a tumer in my adrenal gland. What I have learned is the adrenal glads are your epicenter for almost everything. Your entire endoctrine system deponds on them. When anything is on or near them they malfunction. Kinda like dropping a drop of water on an electric panel.

Has your doctor mentioned genetic testing for the right medication. IT OFFERS THE RIGHT DRUG, at tbe right dose at the right time. It is call pharmacogenetic testing or also PGx. Here is a great link http://mayoresearch.mayo.edu/center-for-individualized-medicine/drug-gene-testing.asp

I pray they find the right drug combination very soon. Please take comfort that you are not alone.

Hugs

Hypertension: Did we speak about Lisinopril and its use with Tenormin ....

Colleen Young, Connect Director | @colleenyoung | Aug 11, 2016

Hi @jacko, I moved your message to this current discussion about hypertension so that you could put your questions about lisinopril and its use with atenolol (Tenormin) to the group. What specifically would you like to know about using these drugs together? Are you taking both?

Dawn, Alumni Mentor | @dawn_giacabazi | Aug 11, 2016

Hi @jacko
Here is a great link to Mayo Clinics Drug & Supplement Checker.

This might help you with some questions you may have. Like Colleen asked, Do you have a specific concern?

Hi @jacko. I have recent experience with Lisinopril plus Tenormin and would be glad to exchange information with you. What is your experience with this combination of hypertension medications?

No, I am sure she moved it to this one which may help you get your questions answered or may help others learn from your questions & experiences. 😉
