BP med side effects

[ameribadass]

I was diagnosed with hypertension/high BP in June when the nurse at work sent me to ER with a BP of 210/120. I was immediately put on Norvasc 10mg and HCTZ 25mg daily. My pressure came down to 160/80 and after seeing my doc he said come back in 6 months. After questioning why I had high blood pressure and not getting any answers I asked to see another doc and he added Lisinopril 10mg and said come back in 6 months. Since then BP has been steady at 130's/40's. After bugging the doc enough about why at 32 i have to take 3 meds to keep BP under control he has finally set me up to see a kidney specialist. I have been experiencing soreness and weakness in my elbows, like tendonitis, extreme fatigue and burning in my arms when doing light work, tiredness and overall fatigue, since beginning these meds. I have to tell you that I also had a diskectomy in my lower backbecause of a herniated disk shortly after being put on these meds, but have fully recovered and take no pain killers. I would like to know if these are side effects of the meds or if it is possible i have some disease that affects my joints/disks as well as raises my BP?
