Suggest Remedy For Headaches After Taking Benazapril

I take the following meds: estradiol-.5mg daily Carvedilol-6.25mg twice daily Clonazepam-.5mg daily Meloxicam-15mg daily Hyrochlorothiazide-12.5mg daily Benazepril-20mg daily All meds are new except Benazapril, which works well for me. Since I have started taking the other meds, I have severe headaches all night and day. I have arthritis, fibromyalgia, anxiety, high cholesteral, high blood pressure (which the medication does not help). The new dr (I moved across country) tried several but none work. I get some temporary relief from ice packs on my head then it gets severe again. I could use some input on how to handle this.

Dear- thanks for using our service and will try to answer your question. However, it looks that you have been taking Benazepril which works for you. You are taking estradiol which can cause headache. In addition to that, fibromyalgia and anxiety can aggravate that. I will suggest to control your diet,avoid chocolate,coffee and do exercise. You can add therapies as yoga to help with relaxation techniques . Another important factor is to have a good night sleep and keep an adequate hydration with at least 32 onz of water.
