Q: My Dr. told me to change my BP meds from Tenex to Lisinapril but I’m afraid going off Tenex will cause severe heart palpations. Should I slowly taper off the Tenex?
A: You should talk to your doctor about the best way to switch from one drug to the other as the sudden stopping of Tenex may lead to anxiety, nervousness and elevation of blood pressure. An irregular heartbeat usually isn’t a problem. Lisinopril starts working about an hour after it is taken so your blood pressure will likely stay in control.
