I have been taking this for about 12 years. just recently switched to Losartan (50mg) because of a cough that i'VE HAD for a long time. I've only been taking this one for 4 days, & my cough is mostly subsided. But they were guessing at the dosage of this new one, & it's a LOT lower than before.(93/44; 110/47;108/69; 106/55; 107/65; 116/60) I'm concerned that these may be too low. I originally was put on medication because the lower numbers were in the 90's. What do you think?

I am 31 years old. The last doctor visit I found about 3 weeks ago, found out I have HBP and am hypertensive. Doctor prescription on 1st visit (160/120) was for Tekturon : didnt do the job Doctor prescription on 2nd visit (154/?) was for Benazepril HCL 20mg : coughing and fatigue I am so young and after reading this board..seems like everybody is in their 50-60's. Just wanted to know if anybody is taking the same meds and any results? I will find out in a week if the 2nd meds are working for me.... -mary
