Amlodipine Losartan Corodil side effects

Heart health and blood vessels

Hi.

I am suffering from HBP and this unfortunately runs in the family. I am not overweight and fairly active as I do something good for my health every day in forms og cycling walking and working out with weights.

Unfortunately, thats not enough to keep my BP below 140/90.

I have tried several combos and I take 2 x 25 mg Losartan at the moment. Just stopped Amlodipine 5 mg four days ago as I suspect these to be causing me several side effects such as depression, anxiety, dizziness, tinnitus and more.

Still waiting for these unwanted side effects to dissapear.

So, I have changed my diet and I dont feel I can do much more.

Question is, anyone know a good method to go natural (food) without passing all the good things in life?

I know, not an easy one. I would like to do without chemicals. I do take vitamins, B combo, Magnesium and fish oil capsules. I drink lots og water too.

50 year old male, btw.

Thanks

Found this: https://patient.info/doctor/hypertension-treatment

Good advices, which I partly do follow. 

A bit surprised on this sentence:

Calcium, magnesium or potassium supplements are not recommended.

Magnesium should lower BP at some point?

A mineral isnt it?

hi Diffus

I am much the same boat, active 55 yr old with familial high blood pressure. I am currently taking 25mg hydrochlorithiazide (water pill ) and 5mg Candasartin, I was having a lot of side effects from so many of the medications that I tried, finally settled on these 2, can't say I have 0 effects but what I have are mild and tolerable. I also found for me that Hibiscus tea works fabulously for keeping my numbers lower, I drink 2 - 4 cups a day, so far so good. It has kept me from adding more meds and/or upping my current ones. 

Hope this helps

Thank you! As far as I can see, hydrochlorithiazide  is equal to Losartan which I do take at the moment. (1 x 25 mg in the morning and 1 x 25 in the evening.) Not if thats theone creating dizziness or if it was/is Amlopidine.

Maybe I should give Candasartin a try. I see that they also are known for creating dizziness - as most HBP pills.

I will try to drink more tea as well. Thank you very much
