Is there an alternative to taking a diuretic for high blood pressure?

This would have been in Minnesota over 30 years ago. It normalized his kidney function for the rest of his life. As far as I know, it never bothered him once it was in place.

Get off the amlodipine, it's the worst from my experience. It's probably what's causing the swollen ankles. May of us have had terrible experiences with that drug.

Personally I would challenge the physician for the need of THREE medications for control your blood pressure, unless you have other co-comorbidities that warrant that. Just ask, then if not satisfied or convinced of the the response seek a second opinion, perhaps from a Cardiologist!

I'm a 93 YO male with CHF and I take Eliquis, Lisinopril and Furosemide (Diuretic) for high blood pressure.
Furosemide is the only one that addresses water in the blood which promotes high blood pressure. The more water the harder the heart has to work.

@igho by your doctor saying you had Renal Artery Stenosis means the blood flow to kidneys is diminished sufficiently to cause you to retain more fluid, hence elevated BP. As you requested here is some information.

@tadueo I took care of my mother for several years. She was in her nineties and bedridden. Because she was limited in movement, she would often have constipation issues. Her doctor put her on a low dose of Lactulose (oral solution), which is a colonic acidifier which promotes laxation. Lactulose is a synthetic sugar that is used primarily as a laxative to treat constipation and to reduce ammonia levels in patients with liver disease. I wasn't to give it to her every day. I was only to give her a dose when and if she became severely constipated. I don't know if that would be something that you could take since Lactulose pulls water from the intestines to soften the stool and might worsen dehydration. But you could ask your doctor. Something else to consider is taking a natural, herbal remedy for constipation, such as Senna. Some people drink an herbal tea that acts as a laxative. There are several different brands that have a laxative tea blend on the market, and each brand has its own blend of herbs. One such tea is called "Smooth Move" and contains Senna, licorice, bitter fennel, cinnamon, ginger, coriander, and sweet orange. Again, your doctor would know if any of those ingredients were contraindicated with the medications that you take. I, myself, take a diuretic (Chlorthalidone), and it causes me to have occasional MILD constipation, so I am taking an herbal supplement that contains Slippery Elm. It works for me. There's also Slippery Elm tea available, but it isn't as effective as the supplement in pill form. I hope that you get some help from all of the comments here.

Thanks for the helpful info.
Have you ever tried Chia Seeds? You take 2 tbs. in 8 ozs. of water (I use OJ), stir and and put it in the frig overnight.
Drink it first thing in the AM before eating. I've had excellent results with it for constipation. Worked very quickly.
The more cures you try the more likely you are to find the right one.

@tadueo I tried Chia Seeds many years ago for the various nutritional/health benefits of the seeds. I was adding the seeds to my salads, yogurt, etc. I noticed that they boosted my energy. Unfortunately, the tiny, raw seeds caused me issues with my Diverticulosis. But that may have been because I was not soaking the chia seeds before I added them to my food. The way you suggest might work for me since the chia seeds would be softened by morning. I may try the method you suggest. Thank you for the information!
