Been taking it about a year when I remember. Normally just take like 3 pills on the day I have my FAA physical and then throw it in the drawer and forget about it. I had put on some weight though. I've lost 25 lbs since Oct and hoping to lose 15-20 more. I assume that will help a bit.

I've got bad tinnitus too. My left ear hS been ringing for about a year straight. If I ever go insane that will be the reason.

Tinnitus is a common side effect of high blood pressure and allergies, I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember. You learn to live with it.

Been on blood pressure meds since I was in my late 40s. I'm a fat boy now but was not when I first started on HBP meds. My late brother since his 30s. My brother was never overweight until he was in his 60s and then not obese, my mom was not overweight until she was in her 70s as she became less active, she was never obese, she passed away in 2022 at 86 years old. All my siblings and my mom were on high blood pressure meds regardless of weight. I would say there is a clear genetic component for us.
