Health alert: New blood pressure medication recall

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes two years ago. The diabetes pills seem to be doing fine. The doctor at first recommended low dose 10 milligram Lisinopril, then 20 milligram pills. During an echocardiogram testing my blood pressure was still unacceptably high (with no symptoms). A call was put in to see my primary care physician the next day. He already called into my CVS pharmacy a supplement high blood pressure pill. At the office I saw the building nurse, not the doctor. She must intend to monitor my condition. I will visit her office next Friday to check on the efficiency of the new pill combination. Not wanting to sound like a cranky " difficult " patient, I politely suggested to her that the Lisinopril could be, in fact, RAISING my blood pressure - the exact opposite of the INTENDED effect. As if not paying attention, the nurse assured me that the Lisinopril was preventing a stroke. Well maybe! But if the pill prevents a stroke by LOWERING my blood pressure, does the reverse make any sense? Well maybe? Of course, at my age (months away from age 78) FATHER TIME is just as effective a " silent killer " as high blood pressure. So, I would be foolish to be mad at the health care professionals with their " Myth of Sisyphus " daily challenges. Which, of course, includes MAKE A BUCK capitalism. @ronruggieri9817 0 seconds ago https://www.helloheart.com/post/high-blood-pressure-doctor-may-overmedicating
