Ready to Get Off of It

Initially I was only taking 10 mg Hydrochlorothiazide
and it decreased my BP but not enough then my dr added Lisinopril. BP dropped considerably and sometimes too much because I did a comptete and immediate turn around in my eating habits. I had the slight chest pains the first few days but by the end of the week it was gone. What I cant stand the most is the random excessive mucus and cough. I thought it was allergies which I do have and I too took allergie meds which isnt very many you can take with high blood pressure to no avail. But it wasn't until an elderly woman asked me if I took any medications for my health and I told her I had Hypertension and she said it was my BP meds. Now that I have read all these posts I see where it is coming from. I have only been on the meds for the past 5 months and he is ready to get me off the meds soon because my BP is doing very well. I can hardly wait! Because these meds I am taking for BP is wrecking my Potassiam levels and he wants to put me on that as well!. NO THANK YOU! I am not in the business of making the pharmaceutical companies richer while they make me sicker over something that I can control through the foods I eat and exercise. Good Luck to you all as well.
