Common Questions and Answers about Candesartan forum

Hi Jon, Thanks for your reply. I have not heard Benicar, so i'll google abt it later. I am recently put on candesartan but I have not taken it yet. I guess I m kinda scared of the side effects.

Atacand HTC [candesartan + hydrochlorothiazide] may raise blood sugars. Consult with your pharmacist regarding Atacand drug interactions with ANY and ALL drugs/supplements/herbs/vitamins you are taking which may elevate blood sugars. If none exists consult with your doctor on switching to another bp medication.

I get that dry cough too. I don't take an ACE inhibitor though, I don't think. Just Lopressor, Dyazide/Maxzide, Lipitor and aspirin for the heart issues. For me it started a couple of years ago one summer after pushing myself too hard. I start coughing out of the blue to the point of either just about passing out or vomiting mucus. Urgg My chest hurts and feels sunken in, pounds very hard and quivers sort of and then I'm fine till it happens again.

It may be replaced with valsartan or candesartan which do not usually cause this side effect. The verapamil usually does not cause this side effect. This may not be related to your medications, and chronic cough or ' bronchial asthma' may actually be cardiac in nature ( e.g. CHF). Make sure your physician takes this other consideration into account.

I suffer allergic reactions to blood pressure medications. Over a long period I have tried a huge number of different BP meds, and not found one that eventually didn't make me feel unwell. The most recent, Candesartan, lowered my BP in the first few days, but after that it gradually rose again to a point where my BP was way above normal levels and I was suffering severe chest pains..

Personally, I take valsartan, but my friends have experienced similar success (or better) with candesartan, telmisartan, losartan (although this drug is surmountable and thus theoretically not the best one to take), irbesartan, and, for ACE inhibitors, perindopril.

In the forum index there is social forum mentioned,I told someone that they should join it,but they couldnt?

m confused i thought these forums go by weeks pregnant not age?

Some other ARBs and ACE inhibitors may work less effectively or not at all (some ARBs I know to be good - besides telmisartan - are valsartan, irbesartan, candesartan. Most of them are good EXCEPT for losartan, which is a surmountable antagonist and, theoretically, would lose its effect over time). Next fact: you need to take a high dose.

You should inquire about taking high-dose angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), such as candesartan. These drugs, which are commonly used to treat hypertension, also work to stabilize and in many cases reverse aortic enlargement WHEN TAKEN IN SUFFICIENTLY HIGH DOSAGES. For many people, the starting dose is the FDA-approved maximum. Sometimes the dose needs to be greater than the FDA-approved maximum.

Why the medical forum by doctor HHH and Hook is not accepting any new questions? Anybody knows?

anybody why the doctors forum is blocked for more posts? will it be defenitive?

Ever since I had my baby this forum means nothing to me anymore.. Is there a new Mom forum I can go to?.. It's like the pregnancy is the previews but the actual Mom process is the main event... I knew that, but it takes on a while new meaning after the baby's here.. Now I just want to talk to other Mom's about it.. Is there any where for me to go??
