I just went to the doctor for an allergic rash on my feet and they took my BP. It was really high, but I was just laid off, got a new job and have been on it for two days. On top of that, I took a diet pill called Zip Fizz today just hours before going to the Dr. All of this with the job has happened in the last two weeks and on top of that, they had me train my replacement. The doctor prescribed Lisinopril, but after reading all of this, I will not take it. I already have asthma, a rash, kidney damage, gagging and do not want to get more symptoms. I believe my BP will go down as soon as the caffeine in the diet pill wears off. Thanks to all of you and this website for helping me make this decision.
