All I can say is a take a pill that is approx one half
Hydrochlorothyazide (aka Water Pill) and one half Lisinopril. I after years of hypertension and elevated results, my blood pressure has remained normal nearly all of the time.

More recently, I was advised to take Apixiban BID (twice daily) to prevent strokes. At first, I was concerned that taking Apixiban would make me an ‘easy bleeder’ over very small cuts. That did not happen. If you have had the same doctor for two years or more, they just might know what you require to hold onto your optimum level of health.

Interesting/ . I was taking one bp pill each morning, Lisinipril. Great BP for years.

Suddenly afflicted with Vertigo, serious enough to spend seeral days in best hsopital in town where they put me on a four pills every day including Apixiban, , some in a.m. and some before bed. The also did an MRI, and I did NOT have a stroke. Phew!! Followed by two weeks in a great nursing home where they litrally kept my pills and watched me down them every night. Glad to be home again. Wish I could have brought my Physical Therapist with me. He really pushed me and I can now do more than I could last year.

I’m going to go along with this for another couple of months when weather will be nice enough to get out and walk a mile a day .I hate Big Pharma but love my life. And my bitchy cat needs me. I will be 90 in June. Weigh 112.

Lisinopril is derived from the venom of a pit viper
which is why it thins the blood and has many side
effects. Vitamin K, L-arginine and magnesium have
helped me lower my BP. Eggs shells are a good source
vitamins & minerals as well as mushrooms and eggs.

After 2020 I also cut way back on alcohol and built
up immunity, only 2 sinus infections and no colds nor
flu with these changes in the last 6 years.
