Surrender

oh, I've always been on that thiazide as well. So taking a 3 drug combo and
still my diastolic pressure remains over 90 most of the time.

 

Although my cholestorol likes to hover in the 6-8 range my BP is right at
the bottom of the healthy scale and my resting heartbeat is good, so I
didn't mind binning the statins. Should go without saying that in other
circumstances one would persevere and find one which suited or didn't have
excessive side effects.

 

It is amazing there are so many long term posters left in this NG

 

When I was young, I swore that if I ever got old, I'd never rant about
all my aches and pains. There was nothing so pathetic as a bunch of
geezers whining about their health.


So... My simavastatin script ran out months ago, but I haven't
bothered to update it. I think it's because my memory is going and I
keep forgetting to make the call. OTOH, the ruptured disc is still
there, along with the surfer's ear, the dupuytren's, the tremor, and a
few other maladies that only showed up when I became a geezer. Usenet
isn't dieing, it's the users.

 

The statins start tonight

Been on Simvastatin for years, no problems, and lower cholesterol
levels to.

Lisinopril and Amlodipine together seem to work for me fine although I
do have a stock of Bendroflumethiazide approved by my quack 'just in
case'.

 

Amlodipine is the generic name of Istin, which I react to. Lisinopril is an
ACE inhibitor which I will react to in the same was as perindopril
