[QUOTE="zand, post: 794675, member: 85197"] Yes I'm sorry I didn't notice the mention of Lisinopril in your post. It is an ACE inhibitor. So the other options seem to be calcium blockers (like amlodipine) and diuretics (like bendroflumethiazide) I was on a mix of a small dose of all 4 of the main types of BP medications at one time. They prefer to give smaller doses of a mix of drugs to cut down on the risks of complications. Read around the pros and cons of all of them. When my BP started to improve I went to my GP and asked if I could stop them in turn. The ramipril went first as it made me cough, then I chose the calcium blocker, then the diuretic and stayed on just the beta blocker for a while because that was beneficial to my heart as well as my BP. Your preferences may well be different. I tend to agree with you that a monitor for 24 hours would be a good idea. Let's hope you can persuade your GP of this! [/QUOTE]
