Hypertension Treatment Medication - Yes-Maybe-No

Prescribing Hypertension Treatment Medication – for an

Intermediate Elderly patient having a Chronic Disease – is a difficult task for any doctor.

I was this patient, an 80 year old man with Primary Hypertension - a Medical Condition that has no medically known Cause or Cure -

this Condition is one of the Medical Mysteries.

After the Hypertension medication was prescribed, I was told that I would have to take medication the rest of my life.

Medical science has defined and diagnosed Primary Hypertension as a Chronic Disease or an Illness or a Sickness -

Actually, Hypertension is a Symptom a sign or an indication of an existing Disease, Illness or Sickness within the body, mind, soul or spirit - - Hypertension True Definition

It was in 2006, when my doctor told me that I had Primary Hypertension, also known as The Silent Killer - having no

medically known Cause or Cure - and I would have to be on medication for life.

So the doctor immediately started prescribing my Hypertension Treatment Medications as the following:

• Amlodipine - 5 MG - once daily - for blood pressure - I took this medication for a short period of time - after this was Lisinopril -
• Lisinopril - 20 MG - once daily - for blood pressure - I took this medication for a short period of time before I was put on Atenolol exclusively.
• Atenolol - 25 MG - once daily - later increased to 50MG - once daily for blood pressure - I took this medication from May, 2007 until March 15, 2009.

The Good aspects were:

• A decrease in my blood pressure -
• A lower pulse rate.

The Bad aspects were:

• Swelling of my right ankle
• Insomnia.

The Unknown aspects were the most frightening or terrifying - b>

WARNING: Do not suddenly stop taking Atenolol - I did but I don't suggest you do - later I will show you my pressure readings when I suddenly stopped.

The possible side effects of Atenolol:

1. Hives
2. Difficulty breathing
3. Swelling of Face, Lips, Tongue, or Throat
4. Slow or Uneven Heartbeats
5. Feeling Light-Headed,
6. Stomach Pain

When You Are The Patient, Be Concerned Of The Unknowns During the time I was on the Hypertension Treatment Medications I, maintained my same Diet, Exercise, Water, Air, Herbs and Spices, Vitamins and Supplements routines.

On May 16, 2009 I phoned my doctor and told him that I had

suddenly, discontinued taking all Hypertension Medications as of yesterday, May 15, 2009.
