In my research, it seems a calcium-channel blocker (like amlodipine) could be a better option than a diuretic, for most, combined with an ARB (like irbesartan or telmisartan), for treating high blood pressure.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

I made the mistake of taking Ibuprofen about 9 years ago when I had flu symptoms and I probably took nyquil as well. The combination of that and stress I was undergoing at the time spiked my blood pressure and put me in an emergency room one morning till it went down naturally on its own.

I will NEVER touch Ibuprofen again if I never have to.

Do a search “grape seed extract kidney”

[catnipman]

it’s called the kidney triple whammy ... well known by educated physicians, though they rarely warn patients about this when prescribing these medications, and almost unknown by the general public ...

IBU makes me feel like I’m having a heart attack, with real symptoms. I take ASA for pain, headache, etc. Works the best. Just need to lay off a week before labs so you don’t bleed too much after the lab draw.

I’m sure the makers of acetaminophen paid for the study. I’ve taken diuretics and ibuprofen for decades now and I can still pee up a storm without pain.

Thanks C.M. Not taking these currently, but will be aware if I have to.
