Dear medievil,

If you have a normal blood pressure for your age and you don't have a kidney disease producing to much renin it really does not make sense to take an ACE-inhibitor. An ACE-inhibitor blocks indirectly the effects of renin a protease released by the kidneys. If you're hypotensive because of an ACE-inhibitor it does not mean that you're totally secure from a hypertensive crisis caused by a MAO. Theoretically it would make more sense to take a selective betablocker or an alpha-receptor blocker because of tyramines indirect release of noradrenaline in peripheral vascular tissues such as the brain and the kidneys. IMO following the diet is the best strategy but if you're already hypertensive without meds I would ask your doc what's the best way to lower your blood pressure during a Parnate treatment.
