[QUOTE="Mr. French, post: 3612603, member: 2292"]
I am only 36 but (possibly due to Covid, possibly due to millions of other stressors and unhealthy habits) earlier this year my BP started to spike like crazy ... I was put on atenolol and also lisinopril - I am still taking both but I think the lisinopril is all I need, I think that's the one that's doing the trick.

I've changed my eating habits a good deal, something that needed to be managed anyway, and with the lisinopril daily at 10 mg my BP has been right in line.

I never had issues before March / April.  This thread is great info, particularly from [USER=912]@Edward Sargent[/USER] knowing that lisinopril is effective and fairly safe.  I just got myself off of some very minor back pain meds a few months prior to this, on my own, b/c I hate taking meds consistently and hated that I was reliant on them.  Then this happened and now I'm back to taking 3 different pills a day, plus my anxiety meds when needed, which is often.

I think I overall agree with the short but straightforward message of "take your pills and don't worry about it" although telling me to not worry about something, even minor, is an uphill battle, hence the anxiety meds.
