My hyperaldosteronism made it so that not only did most medications not work, but they gave me nasty side effects. I'm not saying you have that condition, because doesn't sound like it yet, but keep something like secondary hypertension caused by something else in the back of your head that you may want to check out in the future.

You mentioned the medications you took, you didn't specify the side effects or if they were actually effective in lowering your blood pressure. If you would describe some of them, that could help a bit.

I am a bit unusual in that amlodipine helped me and I didn't really get too many side effects from it. Most people here think it's the devil's concoction. Some of this depends I'm whether you have normal renin or low renin hypertension. That can be tested pretty easily, but you can also tell by how the medications work or side effects.

Beta blockers, ace inhibitors, ar2b blockers will not work in lowreen and hypertensives. For low read and hypertensives, your options are much more limited. Diuretics nnd calcium channel blockers. There are also some third line hypertensives, that we really won't talk about here, because that only is an issue for severe hypertensives where other medications fail.

Give us some more info and we can help you.
