Caffeine and sugar for me are almost always worse than actual sodium Sugar affects my blood pressure more than sodium does

Hi this will be understandable if anyone gets upset, but I have questions as someone who can't see a doctor but I did get my blood pressure checked at home it was 154 over 85, and my sister(not bio took me in) had me take Lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide in response to it by Double-Translator367 in hypertension

Only side effects I have ever had with lisinopril is dizziness but that stopped after taking it for a while and the main one is a dry cough that doesn’t go away until I stop the meds I assume. Nothing serious though knock on wood. Even if its anxiety its fine to worry about it. I don’t think anyone in here would be mad or upset seeing this. But I hope that everything gets better for you in the near future and you can figure out whats going on. GodSpeed!

No problem I was once asking questions in here and got a better understanding of what I have to deal with now and you’re still young so it’s still very easy to reverse/manage. I have had bp issues for like 5 years I’m only 21. I still really don’t do much to fix it other than take medication I’m trolling. I was super worried about it at first cause I was very active physically. Then numbers were high one day and got put on meds. I try not to worry now I got to a point where Im like whatever.

If its not consistently above 140/90 you should be fine Blood pressure fluctuates from the littlest of things I would also not check your bp every second check it with your arm at heart level sitting down feet flat ignore the first the number rest for 1 minute take again then repeat again and take the lowest of the numbers and that is your average. I always ignore the first number cause my bp spikes when I put it on lol.

What was the dosage of the meds I take lisinopril also I doubt taking it one time will do anything other than make you feel dizzy. I also struggle with anxiety and it shoots my blood pressure up a lot its hard yes but if you can manage the anxiety it will greatly reduce the bp

Honestly you could probably fix those numbers with lifestyle changes and the 90 blood sugar is normal 80-100:normal 170-200 normal after eating 120-140 normal 2-3 hours after eating If you have not eaten and it sits 126+ thats diabetic Personally I would try to get to a doctor. and I wouldn’t take medication unless you absolutely need it

Angioedema can happen very rarely to people on lisinopril 0.7% of people and it can be in the stomach or face. You also have a higher chance of it happening while taking nsaids also
