Avatar n tn Have you used Valsartan for treatment of hypertension patients in high risk patients? Are you aware about the combination Valsartan and Amlodipine to treat hypertension in high risk patients? How its is better than Telmisarton and Amlodipine combination?
Avatar m tn Choletsrol was 5,6, LDL= 3,5 , HDL =1,42, b on 05/05/2009 i did another test in different lab, results were Cholesterol= 6.9, LDL=4,90, HDL=1,20. I do not take any drug for cholesterol,have started using fermented red rice. I am still smoking. " Lodoz"2,5 mg seems to control my blood preasure fine.

Avatar m tn Your concern is valid in that being on both a calcium channel blocker and a beta blocker can have risks of reducing the heart rate too low or affecting other conducting regions of the heart. However, amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker whose primary effect is more peripherally acting rather (as compared to the non-dihydropyridine CCB, i.e. diltiazem or verapamil, which are more centrally acting).
Avatar f tn I was disqualified from a job process due to this medical condition called left ventricular hypertrophy. I take benazepril & amlodipine besylate for high blood pressure,and for migraines atenolol. I didn't know they were also used for heart problems. Is this condition treatable or cureable?
Avatar n tn Beta blockers like metoprolol and ACE inhibitors like benazepril have been been shown to be of value in patients with congestive heart failure as well as for hypertension. Simvastatin is of value for patients with both diabetes and heart disease. Talk to your doctor and changes can be made to minimize the side effects.
Avatar m tn My previous doctor recognized it was high back in December. I went to a doctor late in May. She diagnosed me with HBP. My readings have been like 156/85 and as high as 167/90. I have been on Benazepril since May. I have felt better ever since taking the medicine no doubt. Not one single headache and I generally feel better. My blood pressure had went down a little on my last vist. It was about 148/84.
Avatar n tn Hi. I have had high blood pressure for years. Like really high -- 190+over 90 very often. So I'm working on taking medication but I have a question about amlodipine. I start with Lisinopril 40mg, but my doctor added amlodipine. It helps but my ankles and legs swell up really bad. Thoughts or suggestions would be helpful. thanks.
Avatar m tn My blood pressure has been controlled for years with typical readings around 118/70 using the Valsartan, Amlodipine 5mg, and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide 25mg). I have not made the change yet. 1. Why should I agree to experiment with reducing my primary blood pressure medication and what are the risks? His response was "let's see what happens". 2. How long should it take before I see changes (if any) in typical blood pressure readings?
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with Hypertension. been taking amlodipine 5mg. Went in for an ECHO. recently been having lower back pains, past few nights i have woken up with wet underwear. not a lot but i wet myself.
2191752 tn?1338280689 I'm on hypertension meds too. One side effect is dehydration therefore making sure you maintain a good intake of water is important and you won't get that cough or least, cough less. Make sure you speak to your Dr.
1355431 tn?1369975306 Earlier this year, a study published in the journal Hypertension concluded that beet juice is quite effective for lowering blood pressure. And what’s more, it does it quickly. Researchers compared the effects of the juice to those of prescription nitrate tablets and found that the juice was just as effective at lowering blood pressure to healthy levels. It turns out that it’s the organic nitrates found in beet juice that are the key to its effectiveness.
Avatar f tn I am a firm believer in that lowering the blood pressure decreases your risk for heart disease ( heart attacks, strokes, etc) in a manner linear witht he lowering of the blood pressure. Than is if you lower your blood pressure by 10 mm Hg you may lower your cardiovascular risk by about 20-30%. Most people who are hypertensive are unable to change their lifestyles, and eating habits to address this and generally need blood pressure lowering medications to decrease this risk.
478554 tn?1208034407 May be you can tell me if this raised Triglycerides side effect is really damaging cholesterol problem, or just high reading in BP test? Or use Omega 3 to counter is good way to go?
Avatar f tn I've never had a history of high blood pressure until recently after a sudden death in the family. I've been put in Lisinopril 10 mg for one week and now on Lisinopril 10mg with Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 12.5 because it wasn't dropping as low as the PCM wanted (128/90s). I've read a lot of horror stories of HCTZ causing severe visual problems such as closed-angle glaucoma and other vision losses. Has anyone experienced this with BP medications such as the one mentioned?
1553775 tn?1325182402 Hello, I went to the doctor yesterday and I was prescribed hydrochlorothiazide for my blood pressure. I am really skeptical about taking this medication, or any medication for that matter. I am 21 years old and I cannot figure out why my blood pressure is high in the first place. I do have a lot of anxiety problems and I wonder if that contributes to it. I also take Paxil for my anxiety and I have been told that can cause high blood pressure.
1856046 tn?1330237245 Second, venous thromboemboli arising from the portal vein or other systemic sources may reach the pulmonary circulation through portosystemic shunts, causing pulmonary hypertension. Third, high cardiac output in patients with liver cirrhosis leads to increased shear stress on the pulmonary vascular bed, with resultant vasoconstriction, vascular remodeling, and fibrotic narrowing of the pulmonary vessels." Your doctor will have more tests performed to confirm the exact diagnosis.
Avatar f tn Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker indicated for hypertension. The S form of amlodipine is said to be responsible for dilation of blood vessels and lowering of blood pressure. The S- isomer of amlodipine or Asomex® is being studied in clinical trials and may lead to side effects such as fatigue or tiredness, dizziness or fainting, headache, flushing, or swelling of the legs or ankles. Side effects of amlodipine are generally mild and reversible.
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced similar symptoms or have insights into possible underlying conditions? We would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions for further evaluation and management. Thank you for your help.
Avatar n tn (found it after further testing due to high blood pressure) Dr. just put me on Lisinopril and Hydrochlort. for the hypertension. On several occasions I have been noticing some numbness in my toes. Some times it's just one toe and some times it's 3 or 4 toes. Any idea's? Could this be due to the medicine?
Avatar f tn My mother currently taking nebivolol 5mg in morning and amlodipine/perindopril 5/8mg in evening for hypertension. Her blood pressure has recently been improved and taking both pills cause low blood pressure, she is also suffering from cough as a side effect from perindopril. I am considering to shift her to nebivolol only but 5 mg once a day is not controlling the blood pressure well. My question is can nebivolol be taken twice a day in 2.
Avatar m tn Most have patients take it first thing in the morning and record that as an accurate reading and way to measure. And home monitors aren't always the most reliable. But with that said, your top number does seem elevated. I'd also ask if you take it if there is a 'danger' zone number that they want you to call them for such as the 160. The other numbers while elevated are not likely to be dangerous. How long have you been taking the Amlodipine?
Avatar m tn If I keep my blood pressure under control, all I have are intermittent numb shocks in my head and body but no pain. I currently take clonidine for the hypertension along with propanolol, amlodipine,(which does absolutely nothing for my hypertension) and hydrochlorothiazide. I smoke between 8 to 10 cigarettes a day and I've always loved life to the fullest however, whatever this disease is, It's so debilitating until I've even attempted suicide.
Avatar f tn I am 30 year old male I guess I'll start at the beginning from what I remember. When I was 8 I was diagnosed with Osgood slaughter disease which started bad arthritis in my knees and made it difficult to play and play sports but I still did so. Throughout my childhood I always felt tired and sluggish with no energy or drive and had mild hypertension. I have always been slightly above average in size and weight but muscular.
