WHAT QUINAPRIL
GENERIC HEALTH IS USED FOR
Quinapril generic health is used
to lower high blood pressure
(hypertension). It is also used to
treat heart failure.
_HYPERTENSION _
Quinapril generic health is used
to lower high blood pressure
(hypertension). Everyone has
blood pressure. This pressure
helps get your blood all around
your body. Your blood pressure
may be different at different
times of the day, depending on
how busy or worried you are.
You have hypertension (high
blood pressure) when your
blood pressure stays higher than
is needed, even when you are
calm and relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms
of hypertension. The only way of
knowing that you have
hypertension is to have your
blood pressure checked on a
regular basis. If high blood
pressure is not treated it can
lead to serious health problems,
including stroke, heart disease
and kidney failure.
_HEART FAILURE _
Heart failure means that the
heart muscle is weak and
cannot pump blood strongly
enough to supply all the blood
needed throughout the body.
Heart failure is not the same as
heart attack and does not mean
that the heart stops. Heart
failure may start off with no
symptoms, but as the condition
progresses, patients may feel
short of breath or may get tired
easily after light physical activity
such as walking. Some patients
may wake up short of breath at
night. Fluid may collect in
different parts
