[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 2016953, member: 232698"] I'm type 2 with hypertension, on two meds (ramipril and amlodipine). I have no issues with either of them, although some people do report side effects. My BP still varies from 125/72 to 145ish/80ish, depending on whether or not the meds are due. I take ramipril first thing in the morning, and amlodipine at night. There's another thread discussing BP at the moment, but I just wanted to reassure you that BP meds can be side-effect free (for me at least!) I don't fit exercise in to my daily life as well as I could, but when I have managed to maintain a fairly easy level of regular aerobic exercise, my BP responded by falling nicely. Could you give that a go, and ask the DN to reassess in a month or two? Also monitoring at home is a great idea because the readings at the surgery are often elevated due to "white coat syndrome", or in my case, "Crikey, someone's taking my blood pressure! Eeek! I bet it's going to be high!" [/QUOTE]
