DR.Fett my Cardiologist said after I give birth he's putting me on a new medicine simular to ACE Inhibitors called ARB(I think that's right)..Do you know anything about these or know where I can find Info on them?

Right, those are angiotensin receptor blockade medications, and have been use in those unable to tolerate ACE-inhibitors, now sometimes used also otherwise. They seem to be very effective, and there are several types, the newer ones, having no generics, are more expensive (but not necessarily better).
