Prempro symptoms and conditions

Hi, I have just started Lisinopril today, and wanted to search the internet on side effects. I was taking atenolol and felt I was on the right blood pressure med because it was working. Well I started getting tired after 4 years on atenolol, it started 1 month ago. I went to the Dr. and they did a ekg and told me they are surprised I am still walking/standing because my pulse was measured at 41 and that explained why I was so tired all the time. I am 49 years old and am going through menopause and deal with high blood pressure. Well the Dr. told me to stop the atenolol immediately. Then 2 days later I went to see th Dr. again and they switched my blood pressure over to linsinpril. I also take HCTZ a water pill and have been taking it for years. I hate to say it but I am developing the sore throat thing after 5 hours on the med and I am worried about that. I took my BP reading and it is better than ever 108/59 pulse 68. I guess I will get some honey lozengers for the sore throat. Not saying it is the lisinopril causing it but my body is very delicate and I watch my meds carefully so I know when something goes on in my body (meds) and I feel it right away that I have to wonder if it is going to be an ongoing problem for me. I will keep you updated on this as I really am hoping that the lisinopril helps and I can get my energy back. Have been taking the B12 and magnesium and vitamin D and Calcium. I also take vitamin B2 and B6 every other day. I had yeast infections constantly and the B2 has really helped me with that. I get night sweats and hot flashes and take soy pills for that and the herb sage every other day. I was taking low dose prempro about 6 months ago for 2 years and that made my hair fall out terribly, but also made it grow a lot too, it was a ongoing problem with the hair laying everywhere in sink on the floor etc. I stopped the Low dose prempro and the hair loss stopped, so if I lose hair from lisinopril I will be used to that, but hope it also will grow. I need to give this lisinopril a chance as I have little choice right now. My heart they said was pumping too slow, the pulse should be 60 or above not low like 41 so I will keep updated on how the lisinopril side effects are with my body.

I am taking .65 mg premarin but still having sever hot flash's and mood swings. I was on the patch but the adhesive made me break out and I could not wear it. Does anyone know of any tablet form of hormone replacement I might try. These hot flashs and mood swings are drivng me crazy!!

Thanks!!

I have been taking Paxil for the last couple of months to help me get a good nights sleep..I have Fibromyalgia...I have been having vivid dreams and seem to be starving to death all the time. I eat something and when I'm finished, I'll start looking for something else to eat. I'm not exactly gaining weight but I cannot loose any. I'm unable to exercise enough to loose any weight because of the muscle soreness of the Fibromyalgia. I stopped smoking after a heart attack 2 years ago and gained weight. I started taking Prempro again a few months ago for Menopause and gained more. I stay home and babysit a 10 month old and eat and eat all day and gained a few more pounds. I just wonder if the Paxil is the reason for the hunger...I don't mind the vivid dreams but I still don't get more than 4 hours each night. Thanks for this forum...it has given me lots of info over the past 2 years..
