529295 tn?1212772180 My husband is suffering with uncontrolled high blood pressure. He is 54 years old and in excellent physcial condition. He recently went to the hospital because he was having chest pains and pain in his left arm. EKG show satisfactory and took a stress test which showed no ischemia. He was released from the hospital and despite the emergency room test his BP continues to be erratic and uncontrolled with numbers like 161/95 after taking 4 pills.
378273 tn?1262097621 I am 73 and take Warfarin for atrial fibrillation. I also had a hip fracture nine months ago. I also take a blood pressure medication, Diovan, and Metopropolol 25 mg. Would any of these drugs cause the elevation in liver enzymes?
Avatar n tn metoprolol 100mg. With this my blood pressure averaged 130-140 over 80-90. Now all of a sudden my blood pressure was down to 85-90/50 with a pulse of 50'ish, i was dizzy and felt weak. I dropped my diovan to 160 and dilitiazem to 120, but my pressure is still running about 95/55 w/a 60 pulse. I feel my blood pulsing? thru my body, and am sweaty. Whats up???
Avatar f tn Been having problems with my blood pressure. I was wondering if theres a certain med for this that's safer for the liver. Any info appreciated.
Avatar m tn During last years I have slightly high blood-pressure, still I am trying to find the right meds to cope with that. I would like to use this great forum to get feedback about the different meds, to learn fro, experience from others and even more important - to learn and confirm that any particular medicine will not hurt me taking in consideration out history with HCV. Recently my doc told me to change meds from Diovan onto Co-Diovan,he did so because my BP is slightly higher then 140/90.
1346429 tn?1303874854 The aldomet is to lower my blood pressure, I was taking Diovan before I got pregnant, but the switched my medication because Diovan kills the fetus or causes serious birth defects.
Avatar m tn The only thing the ct showed was a hemangioma on my L2 vertebrae. I am on diovan hct for blood pressure and simvastatin for cholesterol. My vision has even changed a little bit in my right eye. What can be causing these weird spasms and are they dangerous?
10483820 tn?1410466172 Currently maxed out on Diovan and Toprol. Experiencing from 170/79 to 192/90 readings in mornings. My PCP has added Imdur: 2/ 30mg @ night with 320 mg Diovan; and 1/ 30mg Imdur with 200mg Toprol in the morning. I have a 45 year history of valvular heart desease having had 4 open heart surgeries starting at age 28. Resulting in 2 mechanical valves and a pacemaker. Believe me, I am not complaining and feel pretty good.
1260320 tn?1270394906 Benicar keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Benicar HCT has a diuretic included as well. I have been fortunate, Benicar has worked from the first day I took it and works well still today. My 90 day average BP is 108/67 down from 135/85 when I started. I have had no side effects as well, the best of both worlds!
Avatar f tn When my systolic blood pressure goes to over 200, should I go to the hospital. I take 40 mg. of Lisinopril twice per day; Diovan 320mg - twice per day and Clonidine HCL 0.2 mg at bedtime. My Nephrologist wants me to take the Clonidine in the mornings also, but I cannot function - I am too dizzy and weak. I have had a stent placed in the artery leading to my left kidney and my pressure has gotten higher.
Avatar m tn I am taking 160 mg Diovan for high blood pressure, as well as 20 mg Levostatin for high cholesterol. I believe that I have ed caused by the Diovan. Is it safe to take ed drugs as well?
Avatar m tn Hello, I just started on HBP medication. I was about 156/92 about 1 week ago. Today I am at 110/69. I am losing weight and eating better than I did 3 months ago. 3 months ago I was at 230lbs, and I would always get these pains in my chest and my heart would beat fast. Current weight 207lbs. Cardiologist said I have too many extra beats and put me on Atenolol on Tuesday. But he doesn't know about my history of HBP from my family doctor. My BP had always been high since last year.
Avatar n tn In March 2008 I thought I was having a heart attack and after a trip to the E/R the EKG, Blood work and chest x-rays were all normal. After a follow up with a doctor I was put on high blood pressure medicine. I once again had a pain under my left nipple area and since the doctors office didn't think this was a side effect of the new BP medicine they suggested I go to the E/R. Once again the EKG, blood work and chest x-rays were normal.
Avatar n tn I've been using anti-hypertensives for ten years now starting with Lotensen and then switching to Diovan HCT then to hydroclorothyazide for a year or two then back to Diovan HCT. I am about 20 kgs overweight. I walk every day and when in a good routine 8 kms a day, up and down hills through fields etc.
Avatar m tn This can be caused by your heart pausing suddenly for a long moment, plaques in your carotid arteries, or a sudden drop in blood pressure for some other reason...Syncope can occur with Diovan, but it is usually because of the patient getting up too fast and their blood pressure was unable to compensate for the sudden position change...
406399 tn?1201884300 More options to treat high blood pressure are important because one in four Americans has high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases your risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, heart failure and death. Tekturna is known as a renin inhibitor. Renin is an enzyme produced by your kidneys that starts a cascade of chemical steps that increases blood pressure. Tekturna works by reducing the ability of renin to begin this process.
Avatar f tn I hope Ryan is reading this.Anyone feel free to answer.I had some high blood pressure before I started the Klonopin.I have been taking Klonoping for 1 yr,2mg a day.Mainly for panic,and anxiety.I am a 43 yr old female,and seem to have inherited the high blood pressure.I thought the Klonopin would help with the blood pressure,but it doesen't seem to.I would like to know the best blood pressure med,without the side effects.Like weight gain.Maybe something that has a diuretic as well.
Avatar m tn Change your doctor and ask for a diuretic, they are about the safest to reduce blood pressure, it will make you pee a lot but it will reduce the pressure almost immediately. Finally if you are taking Osteo-bi-flex or any other over the counter joint medicine stop immediately - read all the new warnings on the back. I stopped seeing my doctor, all she did was frighten me to death. I bought a B.P machine and kept a chart taking my B.P.
Avatar m tn s why your blood pressure is lower after you exercise, the blood is still in these large muscles causing pressure to be lower. Also, your dizziness is most likely due to the lack of a cool down period. When you stop exercising suddenly, it will cause your blood pressure to drop, like when you get up too quickly. You need to gradually lower the demand on your heart by doing some kind of cool down exercise like walking or light stretching. Try it, your dizziness will most likely go away.
475570 tn?1280941363 In as many as 95% of reported high blood pressure cases in the United States, the underlying cause cannot be determined. This type of high blood pressure is called essential hypertension. Statistics show that high bp tends to run in families, and is greatly influenced by diet and lifestye. Who Is More Likely to Develop High Blood Pressure?
Avatar n tn Your thickened walls, call hypertrophy, are due to an underlying condition such as high blood pressure. This is because your heart is having to beat harder against the internal pressures so the walls like any other muscle get larger. Your new meds should help resolve the condition causing the walls to have grown thicker, however increased wall size due to Hypertrophy does not usually remodel itself back it's normal size.
Avatar m tn 4 years ago after the birth of my child I was on 4 different medications. Today none, and my blood pressure is 100/60. All the ideas mammo gave you on exercise, low salt diet and more is what helped me get off medications and get my BP back on track. It isnt good to walk around with uncontrolled blood pressure so for sure get in as soon as you can and get things sorted around with your doctor.
Avatar n tn I would ask your cardiologist (either visit or phone or write to him) and ask about the aortic and mitral valves. If it isn't the valves, then that leaves just a few other things which don't fit in my opinion. The first would be coronary artery disease, but the arteries would need to be in a shocking condition. The second is a viral infection that's attacked your heart muscle but I don't see it being that.
514523 tn?1215832667 m not sure how the Toprol will react with the Diovan, but you may see some overlap and your blood pressure med may need adjusted. Did the doctor discuss the effect of taking both drugs? I looked in a drug reference manual, and it doesn't say you can't take them both, but I understand your concern. As Stella said, your blood pressure problem may resolve itself once you start taking a thyroid med like Methimazole.
