@dew88 Hello.
Thank you, very much. I will definitely be looking for this next time shopping.
It is odd how some people have side effects, while others do not. Accordingly, I plugged the question into the Mighty OZ (AI). Whether this is true or not...according to AI...a person may have a weakness in part of their body that a drug will expose. One thing is sure, learning that our internal organs alarm us with pain through the muscles that surround them, was something I never knew. Maybe my kidneys sounded an alarm. All the CT scans with dye that were done to detect my cancer put a huge strain on those organs.
It's been about five days now without the Lisinopril. The back pain is gone, and the cracks at the side of my mouth are also gone. The pharmacist told me that even though I quit taking the drug, my blood pressure may remain low for good. I really did not believe that, yet my blood pressure has yet to increase. I will report back as time goes by, but if this is true, then people would not have to remain on the drug forever. All in all, this recent life journey has taught me many things.
Thanks again for the beet root gummy tip. They sound tasty! Happy New Year!
