Taking Lisinopril, Experienced A Decrease In Heart Rate Down To Low. Alternative?
I am taking lisinopril 10mg. I have experienced a decrease in my heart rate down to low 40 bpm. It was prescribed for medium high blood pressure. I believe that the ingestion of potassium in many forms of vitamins and foods could be causing the lower pulse rate. I also have MVP that is not being treated since it is not considered serious enough. Is there a better alternative to lisinopril that would treat minor blood pressure problem. I exercise daily with weights and treadmill etc.

Welcome to Health Care Magic
Lisinopril may not be responsible for this… the drug by itself may retain potassium
Need to see your doctor;
HOLTER / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary.
The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.
