I've mentioned this before, but it occurred again recently. While barely paying attention to the television, I caught a couple of key words. Stroke. Heart Attack. What now? I did a quick rewind and learned that this was another commercial for hypertension drugs.
I regularly receive emails from people who are also desperate to avoid these side effects and others due to the medication.
I am very familiar with the host of problems various drugs can bring. However, I never tire of researching it just the same. I am amazed all over again when reviewing the side effects of the various drugs people have mentioned.
140 over 90 is typically considered high blood pressure.
This is a problem as it can create weakened arteries, heart disease and stroke as well as create problems for other organs.
Other problems associated with hypertension are erectile dysfunction and insomnia. The symptoms of high blood pressure though can be too subtle to notice, if the exist as all.
Some people are painfully aware of symptoms though including blurry eye sight, headaches, sweating and clamminess and nausea. Measuring your blood pressure is only true way to validate high blood pressure.
One elevated reading does not necessarily indicate chronic high blood pressure. Regular checks are necessary.
It is important to be informed of the potential side effects of medication before you start taking it. Four types of medication I am sharing today are ACE Inhibitors, Beta Blockers, Calcium Channel Blockers and Diuretics.
Let's look at ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) Inhibitors first. These drugs help relax blood vessels relax by blocking angiotensin II production. This hormone causes blood vessels to narrow. ACE inhibitors that are often prescribed are: benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril) ,quinapril (Accupril, Mavik) and ramipril (Altace).
Accompanying the drugs are possible side effects such as chronic coughing, headaches, chest pain and even kidney disease.
Some Beta Blockers are acebutolol (Sectral), atenolol (Tenormin), carvedilol (Coreg), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), nadolol (Corgard) and penbutolol (Levatol). Nerve signals to the heart are reduced, which slows the heart beat. That in turn lowers the blood pressure.
Dizziness, impotence, memory loss and fatigue can occur with beta blockers.
Calcium Channel Blockers: These drugs block calcium from entering heart and blood vessel muscle cells. This preventsthe blood vessels from constricting and lowers blood pressure. Commony prescribed beta blockers include: amlodipine (Norvasc), diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor XR) felodipine (Plendil), nicardipine (Cardene), nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), and verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan).
And the side effects of these can include heartburn, difficulty swallowing, sexual dysfunction and even stroke and heart attack. These are problems the drugs are actually supposed to prevent!
Diuretics or water pills flush the body of fluid and sodium making it so that the blood vessels do not hold as much fluid, and in turn lowering blood pressure. Common diuretics include: chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), hydrochlorothiazide (Esidrix) and indapamide (Lozol).
Male breast enlargement, impotence, menstrual cycle irregularities and fever and blurry vision can become present along with these drugs.
If reducing or eliminating high blood pressure medication is your goal, I recommend taking this slowly. Do not just discontinue your medication.
My all natural High Blood Pressure Program works to eliminate the need for the drugs. You're doctor may be hesitant, but most traditional doctors are. You're proof will be in the numbers.
Introduct the program but continue to take your medication. Continue to monitor your blood pressure. As it begins to lower, see your doctor and discuss lowering your medicine. Eventually you can do this until the drugs are no longer needed.
