tinkerbella Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Here's a link from the Mayo Clinic explaining them all: Choosing blood pressure medications - Mayo Clinic.comhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/high-blood-pressure-medication/HI00028I know when I first started I had no choice but to start with a beta blocker.I quickly showed allergic reaction and went to Ace Inh and the same thing happened. I then got a really cool cardiowho let me try dark chocolate and Cinnamon, but this was in the still not knowing what was wrong with me stage. I also have Raynaud and seeing that the side effects of all of the about were unacceptable we went to Calicum Channel Blocker. My doctor told me most patients work well on beta blockers and are able to have a near normal life. I have met some of those people. I'm not the norm like many others here. I wish you the very best, just always keep an open communication with your doctor. Keep good notes, list any side effects and if it's not a good fit change the med.
