I take a diuretic (HCTZ, 25 mg) and an ACE inhibitor, (lisinopril, 10mg). I'm still getting regulated. With just the HCTZ I was around 140 over 80. A couple of years ago, they would have been satisfied with those numbers. Now they want you below 130 over 70. Minor coughing (only when exerting myself) and noticably more urination and have to pay attention to drinking enough on the bike. Other than that, no problems. Beats a stroke or kidney failure, good on you for paying attention and seeing the dog. I mean doc.
