Abnormal Potassium Reading After Taking Lisinopril. Also Taking Hydrochlorathiazide, Metoprolol. Have Diabetes. Replacement?
I had a 10 Potassium reading after taking lisiniopril. I was also taking Hydrochlorathiazide. I am also taking Metaprolol 100 mg, ER. I was taken off the lisinopril due to the high Potassium reading. My pressures have been higher due to this. I am a diabetic. What would be a suitable replacement for this ACE inhibitor?
