ACE inhibitors like lisinopril can elevate potassium levels. I had
been using Morton Lite but dropped it and use regular salt. I don't go
crazy with the salt grinder but I don't limit my use either.

The revolving door of science revolves:

Having seen many instances of reversals like this in my lifetime I
also take the experts with a grain or two of salt.

I question advice and look into it before following.

I had a problem with lisinopril causing a persistent cough which turns
out to be a common side effect.

I didn't have the cough side effect on a low dosage. It's cheap, about
$12 for 90 days. My doctor ran through the possibilities, describing the
drawbacks of each. Lisinopril appeared to have fewer potential problems
and it's been effective.

She is also conservative and thinks 120/80 is a nice target but isn't
something that absolutely has to be achieved with an aggressive
treatment plan.



Yes it is cheap and common but others I'm taking don't cost any more
than lisinopril. Fortunately I am not taking high doses of anything.
