150/95?! FRiend you need to be in a hospital with that kind of bp.

And it’s 120/65 at home?

You’ve got something seriously wrong going on.

I take generic benicar (olmesartan medoxomil) — an ARB. Highly effective, and virtually no side effects. Before Benicar went generic, I had to fight my insurer to get the prescription even though the ACE alternatives were making me miserable and were not all that effective.

120/65 is perfect. You say your blood pressure goes up to 150/95?

If what you’re telling me is correct and you’re getting a bp that high you need to tell your doctor right away or get to a hospital emergency room.

Different ARBs have different additional benefits, believe it or not.
