When my BP reached 200/125 the doctor gave me Lisinopril.
Within a week I went down hill with anxiety attacks, weak legs, exhausion and pain behind my eyes.
THANKS GOD FOR THIS WEBSIDE. In desperation as a last attempt ( i did not know why I felt this way) a friend recommended to check the internet. I have now gone to herbal remedies, eat garlic, calcium/magnesium and eat potassium rich foods. No or little sodium in my food and working on loosing weight. All this info is available in books and internet, but doctors are not willing to give this advice and just poison us with drugs. I guess they are on commision...?

I also am having trouble sleeping. It takes xanax or melatonin or both, to help me to unwind. Yikes.
I will be taking Advair for 4 years this March. The Dr. warned me that thrush and suppressed immune system were side effects. Are others not being told this? I rinse or brush my teeth after each dose. This is very important. I do have muscle cramping from time to time, so I eat potassium rich foods. Lately I have been having chest pain so I am concerned. Checking this out. This may be due to adding Singulair recently. Prior to Advair I could not get my asthma under control. Recently I went off of the Advair and the asthma was much worse. So..the side effects are not good but the asthma w/no Advair is bad also. Not sure what the answer is.
