brownie2 & stars13

I took ACEi's for over three years and suddenly became allergic to them. I read that this was not uncommon. I have tried each of the ARBs and each have made me feel terrible. I am weaning off the last ARB, Avapro and am going to try this new class of medicines, whatever class Tekturna is in.

I am so hopeful......and grateful out of desperation I suppose. I take a beta blocker and Lasix already.

I really hope that I can tolerate this medicine....Stars13, was your doctor saying this medicine was hurting your kidneys?

Thanks so much :)

No Huck, I think he meant that it wasn't helping my bp. i had ctscan on my kidney in june and other then having "bendy renal arteries" , my kidneys are fine.

i hope you have better results from it then i seem to be having. i also don't feel too well but i'm not sure that's from the tekturna or the diovan. recently i've gone back to hzt which also makes me sick, so i've been starting and stopping that one which i'm not sure is too good. i know how important it is to take these meds, i just wish i could find one that works well for me and with me. still searching.

good luck and keep positive
