Taking Primary Hypertension Medication For Life

The task my doctor faced was prescribing the the best Primary Hypertension Medication for an 80 year old man who had a medical condition that is considered as one of the medical mysteries.

After the appropriate drug 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, it is none of those diagnoses - Hypertension is a Symptom , a sign or an indication of an existing Disease, Illness or Sickness within the body, mind, soul or spirit - more on this under Hypertension True Definition.

It was in 2006, when my doctor told me that I had Primary Hypertension, also known as The Silent Killer a Chronic Disease - no medically known cause or cure and I would have to be on medication for life.

So the doctor immediately started prescribing my Primary Hypertension 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 of medication were:

• A decrease in my blood pressure.
and
• a lower pulse rate.

The Bad aspects of medication were:

• Swelling of my right ankle
and
• Insomnia

The Unknown aspects of medication were the most frightening or terrifying -

WARNING: Do not suddenly stop taking Atenolol.

The possible side effects of Atenolol:

• Hives
• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling of Face, Lips, Tongue, or Throat
• Slow or Uneven Heartbeats
• Feeling Light-Headed,
• Stomach Pain
• Loss of Appetite
• Dark Urine
• Clay-Colored Stools
• Jaundice (Yellowing of the Skin or Eyes)
• Depression
• Cold Feeling in your Hands and Feet
• Decreased Sex Drive
• Impotence
• Tired Feeling
• Anxiety or Nervousness

Those Unknown Side Effects Were My Concern During the time I was on Hypertension 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 discontinued taking all Hypertension Medications as of yesterday, May 15, 2009.
