I went to doctor for cold and she put me on lisinopril (10) and told me I had "pre hypertension. My bp runs 140/60. She told me she wanted it at 118/75. I laughed and told her mine would have to go up to get 75 as Ive never had it. She also gave me wellbutrin to see if that would help lower it as I have white coat syndrome. I am 73 yr old fm thats never had health problem. Within a month I had severe constipation and started taking benefiber, apple juice,extra brand etc.... no relief. I have now stopped the wellbutrin which I don't think I ever needed and dropped my lisinopril to (5). I may even drop that if I don't go back to normal. Next time I have a cold I will take OTC rather that go to dr.
