My BP has varied in the last month or so between 150/85 and 170/90. Lisonopril hctz helped but gradually it increased. I had 21 day samples of byvalson which seemed to get me below 150 for a while. I ve had Valsartan for 4 days now and BP was 160 / 90 when I got out of bed. Went back to lisonopril hctz this morning. Now 171/90 . Should I stick with valsartan for a longer period? Go back to lisonopril? Headaches every minute for last 72 hours to the extent it wakes me up.
Headfirst and the most important advise DO NOT change your meds as per your wish. Yes lisinopril is known to cause headache in 4 to 6 % of the patients and if it is troublesome then the Chat Doctor. Yes you can switch back to Alsatian and stick to it for at least a month and take your doctor help in adjusting the dose of the medicine as per the BP fluctuations. Kind Regards
