Lowered blood pressure. This was the last prescribed medication for out of control high blood pressure. Apparently, it takes all three of the medications
to work together. With all of them, my blood pressure is within normal guidelines (or very close), but without any one of them, there is an immediate rise |

| Comments: | | This was the last prescribed medication for out of control high blood pressure. I was first diagnosed with hypertension when I was in my 30's (with no symptoms - routine check-up) Gradually through the years, it has taken more meds. Apparently, it takes all three of these medications to work together. With all of them, my blood pressure is within normal guidelines (or very close), but without any one of them, there is an immediate rise |
