And by a lot of people, they seems to mean everyone I do 10 mg of Lisinopril a day. Yes at first it caused a slight dry cough for maybe 2 weeks. Then it went away, and once it does, it never comes back, and that pretty much seems to mean everyone.
May 25, 20223 yr This topic came up when I searched giving blood. Have always been interested if there is a correlation between giving blood and keeping pressure under control. Been out of state for a long time, so today when I gave in Bedford at Carter Blood care two things happened: 1. my blood pressure was nice and low, for me...127 or so over about 80ish. I asked how many gallons I've given and I am in the 7 gallon club.
May 25, 20223 yr Another issue people don't forget that can influence blood pressure is body inflammation from allergies. I went in last spring for my annual, BP was 140-95, doc wanted to discuss BP meds. I declined-(might adversely affect my aviation medical). I also had sleep apnea concerns (had sleep study done-no apnea) and allergy problems causing respiratory symptoms and even caused eosinophilic esophagitis (diagnosed with upper GI - presumably a different scope than what they used for my lower GI scope). After a year of allergy treatment, sleep apnea concerns gone (less loud, abrupt snoring), esophagitis symptoms gone. Blood pressure at last allergist appointment was 110/75.
