Amlodipine, Losartan, or Lisinopril — 6 Silent Side Effects Your Doctor Dismissed as Just Aging

Are you taking Amlodipine, Losartan, or Lisinopril for blood pressure? If you're over 65, there are critical things about these medications that most patients were never told. In this video, Dr. Michael Carter walks you through 6 important facts every senior needs to know — from silent side effects being dismissed as "just aging" to the blood pressure number that might actually be too low for your body. Topics covered in this video: How Amlodipine, Losartan, and Lisinopril work differently inside your body, why ankle swelling on calcium channel blockers is not "harmless," the persistent cough linked to ACE inhibitors that gets misdiagnosed for months, the hidden potassium danger nobody is monitoring, why aggressive blood pressure targets after 75 can increase fall risk, and 5 essential questions to ask your doctor at your next appointment.
