ACE Inhibitors are relaxing, @parus. This is a quote from the Mayo Clinic website,
"Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors help relax blood vessels. ACE inhibitors prevent an enzyme in your body from producing angiotensin II, a substance in your body that narrows your blood vessels and releases hormones that can raise your blood pressure. This narrowing can cause high blood pressure and force your heart to work harder."
I take it at night - sleep like a baby and I'm not thinking about how I'm feeling every moment. (I'm also helping my heart to relax as a bonus.)
Do you have ny heart valve problems or diastolic dysfunction?

@hopeful33250 I had read the info on Mayo and that helped me understand better about ACE inhibitors. No heart valve issues or diastolic dysfunction has been mentioned and none that I know of. I appreciate the encouragement and information. Why they just prescribe without explaining bothers me. I sometimes have high blood pressure and sometimes I do not. It is uncomfortable when they prescribe a med just because of fluctuating BP. Trying to believe they have a valid reason other than numbers on a BP cup. Rather like a shrink prescribing an antidepressant without taking in the entire picture. I know because of fibromyalgia things can be confusing. I was even told one time I don’t have fibromyalgia because Cymbalta and Lyrica don’t help.
I do have a hard time trusting and no one
can help with this but me.
