I’ve been in complete remission for 18 years post diagnosis of celiac after a 46 year misdiagnosis. New doc put me on Verapamil and three days in, I’m severely constipated for the first time since diagnosis. Anyone on BP meds that are easier on the body?

I take lisinopril.  Doesn't cause any problem for me.  Made me cough for a few months until I got used to it.

Constipation one of the known side effects of verapamil. There are many BP meds to choose from so I advise talking to your doctor. Does the med have a diuretic effect? If so, you may need to increase your fluid intake to keep your bowels lubricated.

I take Losartan now after stating out first with Linsopril, but having some unwanted side effects. I seem to tolerate Losartan well.
