Allergy to BP Meds

Post a new topicby Donnalee on Sun Feb 03, 2008 8:11 pm


HI....Hope someone out there can help me. My doctor says it's a mystery..... I take 30 mg of Prevacid twice daily....okay with this. My bp has been rising so my doctor put me on Lotrel 5/10 once daily but I began having numbness in my face and lips and a weak left arm and fingers....took me off that and tried Diovan, Coreg and Lisinapril...symptoms continued in my arm....she prescribed Lopressor with the lisinapril and I am just about ready to die. My left arm is numb and my face is numb...I am a mess. While all this was going on, I had a frozen shoulder which made my left shoulder and arm virtually unmovable with great pain.....this eventually "thawed" but still is no as mobile as before; also , I slowly weaned myself off of estrace 2 mg daily which I was taking for 8 years....

I have had all the tests including an MRI for ruling out MS and any stroke ...all tests are negative. My doctor is very thorough but cannot find out why I have this numbness.....I am very allergic to many meds, including most antibiotics, heparin, aspirin, darvon, and on and on......HELP! Anybody out there trying new BP meds? Any big reactions? Please let me know...
