Yes, diastolic is the one they're really looking at.
Those two were the choices to start with, and my doctor prefers lisinopril, so thats' where we started, 10mg and I seem to be responding fine to it. For the last 2 days I've been around 130/80. The doc says linsinopril typically takes a couple of weeks to reach maximum effectiveness, and after just 2 days I was down to 132/77 so hopefully I'll stay with that. I have had no side effects at all; the only thing I notice is that I feel a bit better just all around than I did before, and I can't FEEL my heart beating in bed at night like I could before.

I could stand to lose 20 pounds.
