Hi, Do valsartan, lisinopril, or other high blood pressure medications create digestive problems? If so, what did you switch to?
thanks

I have gut issues but I take several meds so I am not surprised by that. I have taken lisinopril in the past for my BP but it took my BP down too far. Pre-syncope.

Digestive problems are what took me to urgent Care the day I had my Cardiac Event so it is hard to tell which of the many meds I am on cause stomach problems. But, the good news is they work so I can live with it. I couldn't take lisinopril because it caused a dry cough. Glad to hear that a cracker works for you. Take care and hang in there.

I on lisinopril I do deal with stomach upset, but I take a lot of meds, ugh. yes very much. I was taking a med for digestive but I quit taking it, I eat a cracker its hard quitting bread, carbs, but a cracker with meds soaks up the acid in your gut you know, so I think maybe..
