High BP is nothing to be scared of, it is perhaps one of the most common ailments of the modern era, it depends upon various factors; diet, life style one leads; environment at home & at work; sleeping habits, drinking habits (if any) & the list is perhaps unending.
Would recommend to seek medical advice rather than to self medicate, if defects are treated early they lead to less problems later in life, seek an appointment with a doctor & ask him/her for professional advice, be safe & well!
lindagail, As far as I konw aapirin therapry is for heart disease, not for high blood pressure alone. I would say Rajive has this one nailed do not try to self medicate. Also who took your blood pressure with those reults and let you walk out of their office without something to bring your blood pressure down? There are a grear array of blood pressure medications on the market right now. The blood pressure you quoted is in the high range and the last thing you need is to wake up someday to find you had had a stroke. Please get yourself to a doctor ASAP. Let me know how you made out.

thanks for the concern fall queen... it was my pain doctor who took blood pressure now i am afaird that is in a catagory of stroke?
Hi lindagail, Before you worry too much, know this; Though your blood pressure is high, it's not at stroke level yet. I have a friend walking around with a blood pressure of 210/160 all the time. That's when you really worry about stroke. My blood pressure stays at 180/100 if I don't take a blood pressure rx. I'm not saying you shouldn't be concerned, you should be, but though high, there is no reason to panic. As everyone said to you, you need to see a doctor and probably have your prescription changed from lisinopril to something different, or at least have the dosage increased. I am on two different meds for my bp, and it took the better part of a year to come up with the right combination. I know you are really worried about this and you seem to have a lot of trouble with the professionals that are caring for you. I know you have some other problems, and I think you will find that one feeds the other.

Hi lindagail, I just put an answer on your other question, and I just wanted to quicly respond to this one to let you know that I read it, and I will wait to hear from you privately. Stay strong. You have a lot of support here. We will all be around... beanmarie

You must see a specialist who would perhaps prescribe a HBP med maybe in combination with aspirin.
thanks ... im gonna have to ... my primary care doctor couldnt care less about me
Wish you all the best, I take amlodipine 10mg X 2 & ramipril 5mg X 2 for high BP, be well & always safe!
i do take lisnopril 15 mg but that is not enough
You must seek medical advice to take a newer med which would be more effective, take care, be well & safe!
