Blood pressure med killing your training?

[cubano]

Just started lisinopril hctz (20/12.5mg) yesterday for my blood pressure and I felt more tired than usual during my workout this morning? Was it all in my head or do your workouts take a hit on blood pressure meds? It it just during the adjustment period and the tiredness should go away eventually?

That is one of the side effects of this medication .my doc prescribed me the same meds and same dose as you about 2 years ago and I have been fortunate enough to not experience any sides

Actually cough and hypotension are. To feel tired on ACE inhibitors is not the norm, but not saying its not possible. Beta blockers are more common for causing tiredness out of any of the hypertensive medications.

Look up lisinopril and fatigue is definitely listed as one of the side effects

I have had my bp meds really fuck with me before, make you dizzy and feel like ass.
BP meds and tren are a tricky combo for me as well.

Considering that you just started taking Lisinopril, it's unlikely, yet possible that it may of caused a lowering of essential minerals. Lisinopril Hctz is known to cause depletion of CoQ10, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and zinc.

In a hypothetical situation. Say you was already in a deficiency or sub-optimal level(s) of one or more of these minerals. This could be a component of fatigue you are experiencing. Something to keep in mind, magnesium is very common for athletes to be in a deficient state.

Not that this may be what has caused the on-set of your fatigue, more so try to stay on top of supplementing with these minerals through food sources and a good quality multi-vitamin.

If you supplement with zinc, be sure to supplement with zinc-to-copper at a 10:1 ratio. As zinc causes copper depletion.

Beta blockers made me feel like I just woke up. I could not get my adrenaline up!

it could very well be, but keep in mind when they do clinical trials on medications they have to report any side effect any one person may claim they get. So you could have 1 out 5000 people say they were fatigued on lisinopril and and it has to be listed as a side effect. Its not common though- real world experience of seeing others on it. The 2 I listed are.

Lisinopril

I have been taking lisinopril for the last 10 years. Currently on 40 mgs per day. My secret is to take it right before bed. It has a long half life so you can take it anytime of the day. I have always felt better when I take it before bed. Try it. My blood pressure averages right around 130/75. Doc is happy with it. I am 43 years old. 5'8" 220.

Id drop the meds and try this

Give blood
Cardio frequently and hard
Nikotikase
Green tea
Revesetol
Ubiquinol
Tumeric
Fish oils

That will keep ur blood thin

Arjuna Is also very good but the abovr stack shud be enough

I take the same exact medicine. I do not notice I am ever tired or slowed down from it. I actually do not have any side effects off of it. I am going to stop taking it soon. Cialis seems to do the trick for me and keeps me feeling great too.
