Midamor (Amiloride) appears to help non-resistant hypertension as well as spironolactone, without the bad side effects.

Walgreens appears to carry this for $15 a month, with a GoodRX discount.

Except for the whole turning you permanently blue thing.....

Don't believe anything out there from drug companies or cardiologists that are part of a large group practice.

Valsartan works best for me (I had an enlarged heart). Amiloride has waaayyyy to many undesirable side effects. It will turn you a purple-blue. They tell you to wear sunscreen and stay indoors if taking it. It also made me very nauseous and night sweats. And then of course watching for your pecker falling off ain't so good either?

Valsartan dropped my blood pressure average from 130/80 to 95/65. Sometimes it drops too low and I need to pedal my exercise bike to stop feeling dizzy. I never have had other symptoms of heart disease, cholesterol issues, or artery hardening. I have Left Branch electrical problems. Left branch bundle block. Always had it. In my 50’s the mismatched pumping between chambers began to enlarge my heart. At 61 I had a Bi-ventricular pacemaker put in. Between the pacemaker and Valsartan I am doing great.
