@eirrol Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see you have gotten replies from @kamama94 and @collegeprof already, and they are great sources of information! Good for you for following a renal diet, which will go a long ways to helping you.

As mentioned, please check with your cardiologist and nephrologist for the medications that will work best for you and high blood pressure. It's important that your medical team communicate with each other, to give you the best care possible. And remember, you are an integral part of that team! In my medication bag there is amlodipine and verapamil for blood pressure issues.

A gentle reminder about using "Dr. Google" for information. It is way too easy to go down a rabbit hole as we search for answers. Some of the sites that come up as a result of a search, may not be appropriate for our situation, and give us misleading information. Coming here to Mayo Clinic Connect, we can tap in to the collective experiences of fellow members. And using reliable websites such as Mayo Clinic, Renal Support Network [rsnhope.org], Cleveland Clinic, or large teaching hospitals, National Kidney Foundation [kidney.org] may provide you with a more solid education.

Do you have any questions for me?
