Question: Hi Doctor; I started taking lisinopril yesterday with out my old beta-blocker HBP med. Per my Dr's orders to wean me off the beta-blocker, because it was no longer helping my HBP. Yesterday and Today, I am experiencing a high pluse-116, and dissyness and sweating my in feet, an hour after taking it. Yesterday, I call 911 and they checked me out and said that BP was 138/89 with a pluse of 98. I then decided to go to the ER they said that everything was ok, 158/89 138/89 BP with a 89 pulse. My pluse on my old med was 70-78-80 BPM. My doctor thinks it's worry and ask me to take xananx. This gets to BP down to 128/89 and pluse of 70-80 BPM. But the Xanax only worked for 3 hours last night and my BP and pluse went back up to 101. Another 1/2 Xanax helped. Do you think it is the lisinopril?

So, like you say, I should: As it is not helping, the solution is to RE-START the original dose / take for 4 or 5 days, so can I add a Bisoprolol tonight after I took the lisinopril? Or just wait till tomorrow and start the original dose of lisinopril and bisoprolol. 1 tab each. for 4-5 days and then start the tapering off after the 4-5 days. I never had the hot flashes, and elevated blood pressures that last from 1 to 3 hours before, I will investigate Pheochromo with my doctor. She originally said that she said a blook test came back and I had something wrong with my thyroid levels, and we did another test and thyroid was negative. So she said that she couldn't figure it out and was working on it.
Also my doctor thinks my hot flashes, elevated BP that last about an hour, and tingling in the hands, feet, and face, and a feeling of a lump in my throat, is being created by anxiety. She wants to put me on a long term antidepressant, SSRI, Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine Extended-Release Tablets), Personally I do not want to start Pristiq if the problem is Pheochromo.
Thanks, XXXXXXX
