Doctor, I suffer from hypertension, I was taking lisiniprol which at the beginning work quiete well. After a while this medication raise my blood pressure. The I combined this drug with metroprolol and my blood pressure continued high, It reach up to 207 systolic, Now I am trying to find the right combination which is 1 metroprolol and two diuretics in the morning and 2 metropolol at night. I don´t know how long this dosis are going to work. ¿Do you think I belong to the group of pacientes who are hypertension resistant?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Lisinopril is for high Blood Pressure (BP) and it cannot raise your blood pressure. Sometimes, more than two drugs are to be given to control BP.

When maximum dosages fail to control BP, then resistant hypertension is labelled. As you are on three drugs with two diuretics, please wait for 10 days.

Get yourself checked for kidney function as blood urea, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, decrease salt intake and alcohol, coffee consumption and go for morning or evening walk.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
