What does a person with hypertension take if they cant tolerate water pills? -

Try an Ace Inhibitor type medication or ARB type. A lot of people take Altace (ramipril) which is an ace ihibitor. I like Atacand which is an ARB type. It s the same thing which less chance of allergic reactions. Get some free samples. ARB s are more expensive, but you don t get the side effect of coughing that an ACE medication sometimes gives.

Diuretics - water pills are used in fluid reduction for weight loss. You high blood pressure condition is making that method impossible. Sorry to say, you have to do it the old fashioned way - diet and exercise. - Stuart

For more natural remedies for hypertension, take a look at Atkins book - quot;Vita-Nutrient Solutionquot; - you can get it used off of Amazon for about nothing. In the back of the book it lists a series of disorders which he treated with supplements in his practice. His idea behind the book was to get people off these miserable prescription drugs with their awful side effects.

there are lots of other blood pressure medicines than diuretics.
