I've not responded to everyone's response to my 1st comment starting blood pressure meds discussion in June 2025. Since that time, I've taken on my own investigation into the no meds I was prescribed in March 2025. Since that time, I have turned 80 this August. I discontinued the Metoprolol on my own in June. I went back to just using Amlodipine 5 mg and the Lisinopril for a while, but swelling in ankles, weight gain, squashy gums, etc ucky side effects, continued. Since early June went back to 2.5 Amlodipine and the Lisinopril and walking every day starting at 1/2 mile increments a week and got up to 2 miles a walk at an awesome park near me I felt awesome and my BP measured from lower readings around 120's/70's to 130's/70's. I had a high reading one day of 152/70 and it stayed high a day or two, scared not knowing why so started taking the 5 mg of Amlodipine again for about a week, swelling and side effects began again. My walks had stopped because I felt ucky again. Began taking the 2.5 only Amlodipine and same Lisinopril again 2 weeks ago and swelling gone away and still have early side effects but not as bad. However, I had stopped walking. I will start walking again as soon as storms quick this week. I was having tingling in my mouth and tongue thinking it was still a side effect but looked into the mouth wash I was using, alcohol free, and I've quit using it. Not as much tingling now. I have a doctor's appt in two weeks. If you read my posts way back around late spring about all the antibiotics, etc I was prescribed in Feb and March when I started feeling sick in Jan 2024, feeling I had covid but also had a uti, I got no help except to prescribe cepro, amoxicillin clav, Metoprolol and higher dose of Amlodipin. I may try to find a private medical doctor. These big medical clinics make me think they have restrictions on what they can prescribe, tests to do and vouchers to hand out for specialists.
