Avatar n tn Then I just got a 2nd opinion and this dr said to quit Atenolol,Isosobide and Ranexa and start Azor and Bystolic and he wants me to have a Cardiolite stress test. I really do not see an improvement with Azor and Bystolic-I think I have just as much angina maybe more on these 2 drugs. My question is what will stress test show that the heart cath didn't show?
1090984 tn?1463769850 I have a strong family history of heart diease and hypertension. I never had a problem until I had my first baby and a week later my bp was 161/110 2nd baby after a week shot up to 191/110. Took forever to go down and was finally put on Azor 5/40 plus a water pill. I went off because my bp was normal after a year or 2, then one night I had a heavy chest, I took my bp and it was 180/108.
3136355 tn?1343287969 I an 51 years old I visited about 3 neurologists in my lifetime since i was about 10 years old. the last neurologist put me on epilim and azor .5mg - it seem to keep the dizzyness away. if i became dizzy, I was down for quite a few heavy sleeping hours. as soon as i woke up, it was gone. I could never play netball in school, or go dancing with flashing lights etc. since about a year ago, i started having other symptoms as well.
Avatar n tn I recently stopped the flecainide and have had no significant a-fib that I can discern, although some skipped beats. I do continue to take bystolic and azor for high blood pressure. However, since discontinuing the flecanide, I have had what I would describe as a pounding heartbeat (not rapid), dizziness, and consistent blood pressure readings of 140s/50s.
Avatar f tn I stopped Azor 5/20 mg about one month ago, still having side effects. Has anyone stopped bp pills and had side effects lasting this long. I was on the drug for two years. Stopped because I started getting side effects that I first got when I started the pill.
Avatar f tn CT scan shows no pancreas abnmormality. EGD just yesterday shows no ulcers.He has just taken me off the nexum, lipitor and azor. No ETOH, no NSAIDS etc. Every time I eat I have this pain. It is driving me crazy. I had been taking ibuprofin for the pain.
486822 tn?1208800499 Has anyone here hadan RAI for hyperthy? Can you tell me a little bit about what to expect. I'm very nervous about this because of what happens when the gland begins to die and starts dumping hormones in the blood stream. I read it can cause a storm and with my heart problems and high blood pressure, I'm terrified! Does anyone know if being on high does of beta blocker will help this. I'm currently on 400 mg of PTU per day, 200 mg of atenolol, and Azor for BP as well.
Avatar n tn I am concerned. I take Azor for high blood pressure, I also have been exposed to TB (1987 took INH and B6 six months) I also have lactose intolerance, I take enzyme for. Should I take this medicine? My blood pressure is controlled with the medication. If I take the digestive enzyme could that eleviate the problem of lactose intolerant? I don't know what to do.
2089460 tn?1332717871 m on a high dose of Oxycontin, Valium, for pain due to my injury, Azor and Benecar for my hypertension, and Amitryptiline to prevent migraines and help me to sleep. I pray that I'm not pregnant but if I am, what do I do? My husband and I obviously aren't trying to have a baby right now due to the medications I am taking. I am 31 years old and have never been pregnant before.
Avatar f tn During the last 3-4 weeks of my pregnancy I was diagnosed preeclamptic/eclamptic. I delivered a week ago and 2 days after I had these horrible headaches with a burning sensation on my neck/back area. My blood pressure was 162/132 I went to the ER and they gave me meds to lower it. I'm now on blood pressure medication...5 pills a day...2 different meds. Has anyone experienced post partum hypertension?
461267 tn?1208467049 I just been diagnose with hypertension this month. I been going every week to measure my pressure and was first week 180/100 second week 182/103, the doctor decide to put me in medication bisoprolol/hctz 5/6.25 Then the third week with the medicine was 160/93, she decide to change the dosage to 10mg, at the four week the pressure when finally down to 138/86. she said i should keep taking the medication and they will see me again in June. Do you think this is right.
Avatar n tn I was just wondering if I truly have hypertension? Or could it be White Coat Hypertension? Or could it be prehypertension as I have a family history?
Avatar f tn It's possible that you have what they call "white coat hypertension" and its also possible to have real hypertension. Its disturbing that your dr just assumed you were a hypochondriac and gave you a powerful benzo to treat it. Drs dont normally put a patient on meds after just one high reading and so I wouldn't necessarily say he is wrong for not immediately putting you on blood pressure medication.
1204020 tn?1493698890 Hi can hypertension cause symptoms, i have dizzines etc..Nausea i have a cuff a home, am 43 and obese :(.. trying to loose weight, i feel light headed alot and vertigo..My Bp readings are 150 highest 100 or 90 or so. Generally feeling crap really. They say no symptoms silent killer etc...But i am not sure what else it can be.....It feels like now and again i get a few heart palps too. But it's the light headedness that sends me nutty........ I take my readings like 9 times a day obssesively.
Avatar n tn A systolic pressure of 140 is classified as stage 1 hypertension. For that, one is usually advised to try lifestyle modifications (smoking cessation, alcohol moderation, sodium restriction, the DASH diet, increased moderate exercise, etc) to bring it down. A diastolic pressure of 56 is lower than average, but as long as you are asymptomatic it is not a problem.
Avatar f tn Hypertension is associated with the resistence of the vessels the heart pumps against. For instance, the smaller the diameter of the vessel the more resistance...diameter can be reduced by a buildup of plague and/or soft plaque that narrows (stenosis) the lumen (vessel channel). Medication that dilates the vessel reduces the resistance. Trivial MV regurgitation does not have any symptoms and is considered medically insignificant.
Avatar f tn WHAT ARE GOOD DRUGS FOR TRAETING HYPERTENSION? WHAT DRUGS ARE NOT GOOD FOR HYPERTENSIOMN?
Avatar m tn t think it is directly causing hypertension, I found psychcentral says PTSD can make a person prone to hypertension. Your blood pressure ratings are through the roof, are you taking a medication for it? I too have been diagnosed with PTSD and have usually high blood pressure but mine is nowhere near that high and seems to fluctuate. Are you on medication for the PTSD as well?
