I have tried Cozaar, Lisinopril & Diovan & had bad side effects from them & my blood pressure actually went higher. Please help, has this happened to anyone else ?
I am taking Tenormin (Atenenol) now but my blood pressure is still high.

i’ve taken HCTZ, avapro, tekturna, coreg, and furosemide. currently i take valturna. every bp med is going to have side effects, you’re just going to have to deal with the minor ones. they are still better than stroke and death.
if your blood pressure is still going up on all of these drugs there may be another underlying problem.
Side effects do NOT depend =on which pill you take — they depend on YOU.
ALL people respond differently to each medicine, and some people have side effects. Many people do NOT have side effects, and some people have side effects so sever that they must stop taking the medicine.
COntinue to talk with your doctor, and discuss your concerns with him. There are MANY different blood pressure medications, and one of them is bound to work. ALSO, YOU may need to make some adjustment in your ‘way of thinking", and accept a medication that does they job, but has MINOR side effects. The minor side effects are MUCH easier than teh MAJOR side effect of high blood pressure — strokes and death!
I take Enalapril Maleate . Ten MG. a day. Bp went from 150/90 tyo 118/68…..But there is a catch to this. I started to exercise 1 hour and 30 min. a day . Nordic Walking. And this is what I think really lowered my BP. Cause before I was taking 5 mg. and nothing was getting better. I have no side effects.
I pay 3 1/2 cents a 5 mg. pill. I live in Thailand.
Try the exercise bit. I do it everyday : Rain or Shine.
How are high blood pressure and exercise connected? Regular physical activity makes your heart stronger. A stronger heart can pump more blood with less effort. If your heart can work less to pump, the force on your arteries decreases, lowering your blood pressure.
Becoming more active can lower your systolic blood pressure — the top number in a blood pressure reading — by an average of 5 to 10 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). That’s as good as some blood pressure medications. For some people, getting some exercise is enough to reduce the need for blood pressure medication.
If your blood pressure is at a desirable level — less than 120/80 mm Hg — exercise can keep it from rising as you age. Regular exercise also helps you maintain a healthy weight, another important way to control blood pressure.
But to keep your blood pressure low, you need to keep exercising. It takes about one to three months for regular exercise to have an impact on your blood pressure. The benefits last only as long as you continue to exercise.
