    I take 80 mg lisinopril a day and 25 mg atenolol.

    You sure he prescribed you just 10? I didn't even think it came that low.

    They start you off on a low dose and usually raise it until your BP goes down to a manageable level. He might add other meds to it too.

    When I was on that stuff, I ended up getting this chronic cough that wouldn't ever go away. Day or night. The inside of my throat would itch so bad and the only relief was to cough. But I understand most people don't get that side effect.

    I'm being prescribed Norvasc and Coreg. And it's got my BP in the 120 range. There's a lot of BP options out there and it takes some trial and error to find what will work best for you. One thing I would do is buy a blood pressure monitor and use it every day at the same time and keep a log of your BP. That way you can give your doctor more information and he can better decide what's best.

    yes it is a good tier 1 ace inhibitor medication but if your BP is in the 150 range it is not strong enough to take to 120. My BP is in the 140 range with no medication. You will need Nifedipine added to keep normal while blasting most likely.
