| Add Benazepril review How can I be satisfied? I was on 10M for 1 year. Then my doctor upped it to 10m two times a day. After two weeks did blood work and my Creatinine level was raised to 3.7. That was 5 weeks ago and I still am not back to normal numbers. But I am getting there, this week my blood work showed l.85, normal is .44-1.03. Makes me dizzy, flushed, tingling in fingers & toes, itchy, nausea, tired. Have had high B.P. for the last 5 yrs. remains high, 157/97 and Dr. is of little help, she has yet to see me, just has the PA write 'scripts. When I'm off med, my blood pressure has a tendancy to read 200+/100+. While it is still considered to be on the high side when I take it, my pressure 95% of the time reads 140+/90+ | Add Lisinopril review This medicine worked well for me for 6 years, then 1 night I almost died from the Lisinopril. I contracted angioedema. Imeddiately was put in ICU and almost had to have a trach done. Now I can never take any medicines with Pril at the end. I can only take the white one as had a bad allergy attach from a small yellow one. Iam on Triameterene, Amalodipine, Bystolic and just about a mouth ago my doctor also added Lisinopril , now I have developed dizziness and I have fallen twice. I called my doctor and he decreased the Lisinopril to just 5mg once a day. Still dizzy. | |||
