[|Human|] Hi, I just left my Doctor an hour ago who was OBVIOSLY having a bad day. I m being treated for HBP and was giving something I ve never had before. She gave me 4 different pills, the one in question is Vasotec. I m online to see what exactly it is. When I read the side effects, I fit all of them. I was feeling these before I took this new one, the other is Atenolol. Is it really important to notify her, cause I feel just fine other wise. It s not like her to give me something & not tell me what it s for. Thanks, Greg L.
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for quarry. As you mentioned that your doctor prescribe you antihypertensive medication, and you are feeling not good with vast due to its side effect. According to recommendation before the age of 60 year ACE is the first Chat Doctor. But if not tolerated the second group is calcium channel blocker like amlodipine 5 mg once daily. Beta blockers like atenolol are not recommended these days. If such patient came to me, I will prescribe tab. Amlodipine 5 mg PO once per day. And titrated according to BP reading. Hope the answer will help you to assess your condition. Wish you a good health.
