Hi,
I had a stroke due to very high blood pressure 4 years ago. My right arm, hand and leg was affected. I am doing terrific today, walk with a cane, and got about 80% back in the arm.
But now to meds, I am on Norvasc, Atenenol and Lisinopril, which are 3 bp pressure medicines. I have never had any problems with them. No aches, pains or muscles problems. I used to be on Diovan as well, but my doctor said I didn't need it anymore. My pressure has been running about 120-128/78-82 which the doctor is very happy with.
It took about the first 6 months after the stroke to get the right combinations. Thank God I had doctors who were willing to try different things for me.
I suggest if your doctor isn't willing to at least look at other options, I would say find another doctor for a 2nd or even 3rd opinion.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

I used to get the muscle cramps behind the calf of the leg, or if I extended it in a certain way, but it passes with time. As time passed with walking, and stretching the leg muscles, the cramps eventually went away. I also think by speeding up my pace on the treadmill that helped the leg. I also do leg presses at the gym which helped the leg muscles greatly.
I know everyone is different and has different degrees of disabilities. All I can say is I was at first totally paralyzed in the leg and arm. It was a long battle but I was determined with a very strong positive will.
I even went back to driving my car about 3 months ago.
And Yes, I am on Plavix and aspirin, because of the stroke I had 4 years ago, in addition to the bp meds I already discussed. The Plavix is very important in my case, because the stroke was due to the blood platlets sticking together, and thus Plavix and aspirin.
I wish you and yours a speedy recovery too! Hope this helps.
