Complains of the lack of information available on finding suitable medication.

 



I would like to be more informed as to what the odds are. I have tried beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors; and I have now discovered another form of ACE inhibitor, which I am now taking that seems to have less side-effects than most other pills. I found these through the grapevine of asking at least 20 people - friends who would know someone who has got high blood pressure - 'what are they doing?' Basically it has been a sort of grapevine of conversations that has brought me to these particular pills.
