High Blood Pressure
"I was given this medication after being prescribed several beta blockers and not tolerating them very well- I have PVCs and heart block which made it difficult to find a medication that helped my hypertension and did not aggravate my arrhythmia.  My hypertension was severe (generally 180/130 average) and I started with a dose of 10mg plus 20 mg of hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic).  That did not lower my blood pressure enough so I was bumped to 20 mg of lisinopril without the hydrochlorothiazide.  My blood pressure now averages 120/85 unless I am in a stressful situation.  I have the occasional dry cough but am tolerating this medication very well and it has not had any effect on my PVCs and heart block.  I am happy with this medication."
