Hi @sallie70. Right now, for hypertension I'm on Coreg beta blocker, Amiloride diuretic, Lisinopril (an ACE inhibitor for my kidneys), and Hydralazine (a vasodilator to relax my arteries). This morning, my BP read 120/80 for the first time in many years! A couple of other meds work well but had to be dropped because of other symptoms that need focused treatment. Spironolactone and Eplerenone side effects might cause me trouble due to a rare genetic tendency (Gynecomastia inherited from my father).
