No energy, feeling tired: What heart medications are best?

I remember starting the Lisinopril at 20 mg. and it was too much for me. That dose was lowered to 10 mg. and 5 mg. of Amolidine was added. It took me a couple of weeks to adjust. I have learned to NOT start two new medications at the same time as well as starting on lower doses.

I was put on lisinopril at 40. Before starting the medication I was a weightlifter and had just completed a workout where I was squatting 400 pounds multiple times during my time at the gym. Two days after starting lisinopril I could barely walk up a set of stairs, had heart pain, and spent a weekend in the hospital making sure I had not had a heart attack.
After a battery of tests and several thousand dollars of bills to pay they sent me home and told me to try a new BP med.
Ask your Dr to change your meds.
