Suspect it it increasing the tinnitus in the right ear.
I took away Dyazide this morning and replaced it with 2.5 mg of Plendil. The combination of 10
mg of Zestril and 2.5 mg of Plendil has produced a bp of 135-150//75-88. But the beauty is the
ring is now predominantly confined to the left side of my head and has left my right side
'silent'. This scenario is more acceptable than before. Praise the Lord! I am thinking of
changing the regimen to 5mg of Plendil and 5 mg of Zestril and see how it will work. The Book of
I Ching says it will work. Actually 5mg of Plendil and 5mg of a 24 hours acting beta-blocker
will do better but beta blocker produces impotence in me and therefore I for the time being
stick to ACE inhibitor as a co-partner in my bp regimen. I was thinking of asking you to give it
some thought to a pill that can be taken with my bp pills and is used for controlling migraine.
But Plendil seems to have done the job of neutralizing the migraine for whatever quasi-
scientific/imaginary reasons.
Comments?
Plendil can lessen migraines.
About 3-4 months ago, my T came to me 'at the time' when hydrochloridethiazide was introduced into
my bp regimen. The T was later exacerbated 'at the time' when Zestril had been introduced. These
could have been 2 correlational relationships.
Yesterday(Jan 28), i did away with Dyazide but replaced it with 2.5 mg of Plendil. The noise was 60%
reduced and confined to the left side of the ear/brain in the form of low frequency buzz. I took 10
mg of Zestril and 2.5 mg of Plendil in the morning. From 10am to 3pm, it was quite tolerably quiet.
This combination did produced high upper blood pressure 138-160/75-90 on first day.
Today(Jan 29), no Dyazide again, and I took 5mg of Plendil and 5mg of Zestril early in the morning.
The addition of 2.5 mg of Plendil gave me a bit of a fast heartbeat for the initial hour and
constipation. After that, a bit of high frequency buzz has been experienced in my right side but
'total silence' in my left ear/brain! So i experienced a head tightness 'shift', which could have
been due to anything. After 3pm, the high frequency buzz continues but the level of noise has been
reduced in my right side, but practically nothing is recorded on my left ear/brain.
Stay with me, brother, as i am in the process of finding out if it is the drug interaction that did
the T to me.
