What Causes High BP Despite Increasing The Lisinopril Dosage?
One cardiologist increased my lisinopril dosage from 10mg twice a day to 20mg twice a day in August 2015. Another reduced dosage in February 2016 to 5mg twice a day. Now my be is high. I self increased the dosage to 10mg twice a day three days ago but be still high. How long before it kicks in?
Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer. If there is no improvement after few days of taking it then another antibiotic should be considered so you should consult cardiologist again. There is no purpose of increasing dosage at this point.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
