Oops.

Relevant catechin here is epigallocatechin gallate aka EGCG. I'd noticed that the lisinopril didn't seem to be doing anything most days... This is just one 10-person study, but I might have just made it 11. Thanks, @ms-demeanor .

lisinopril, 5mg tablets

Cleetus the Phantom Fetus is compromising blood flow to my kidneys, which makes them "think" that my whole body has low blood pressure. So they release hormones to increase blood pressure. This is a feedback loop for them, so unless the pressure in the renal (kidney) arteries increases, they will keep cranking out these hormones. Since the tumor is the one reducing blood flow, this will only drive my blood pressure sky-high. They're treating me with lisinopril, which is a type of drug that will help inhibit these hormones. It works by blocking an enzyme one of these hormones needs to work. It's a really common blood pressure med, and it would reduce blood pressure in anyone. My grandfather is on it in fact. Baseline (pre-Cleetus) BP: 94/60. Last Night: 171/114. This is hypertensive urgency, and it can damage many organs throughout the body including the heart, brain, eyes, lungs, and kidneys themselves Today: 136/88 So I'm still high but out of the danger zone. Surgery will fix this issue. So crisis averted!

POV: You’re Prescribed Based on Race

this is one of the few instances when race based prescribing may be needed. usually its just an excuse for giving PoC substandard care. personally i feel that a big warning that people of (xyz) ethnicity may be more likely to have (problem) is called for we now have gene testing, so hopefully not needed much longer
