Talked to the New GP today and took me off the lisinopril and added cozaar instead ???? anyone on Cozaar???
You might consider nutritional factors to hbp. Some think is possible that mild but long term nutritional defficiencies raise bp. Most of these meds including hctz tend to flush valuable minerals from the body or otherwise affect your mineral balances. Get plenty of all of minerals esp. magnesium and potassium. Some of those muscle cramps and aching could also be a sign of mineral deficiencies. Just a thought... I suppose you could get tested for some of this minerals and such. Sherry Rogers has a book on what tests to get.
Best of luck!
