flomax

Avatar m tn it doesn't seem to be a great drug since it lowers blood pressure too much, I almost fainted on losartan and flomax. Is it true it permenently exhausts you and causes muscle weakness?
Avatar n tn He takes 5 mg blood pressure med and he takes Flomax daily. When he first started taking Flomax; which he needs to be able to urinate or as he says to keep his plumbing working, anyway, he would have dizzy spells. His doctor said this was normal, a side effect of Flomax. But now lately he has been passing out; I think that is unusual for any medication and I'm worried there may be something else going on.
Avatar n tn I have found if i give myself some time to sit and breathe deeply before they call me back and drink a little bit of water in the meantime that my blood pressure lowers. Also try asking them of you can lay down on your left side for a few minutes before they check you. I'm sorry you are going through this but, hopefully this helps some. Good luck to you!!!
178590 tn?1294176767 they say the first trimester and beginning of second actually lowers your blood pressure.. so if it is already up a little just watch it... limit salt drink lots of fluids and don't over do anything... I would take a measure a few more times to be sure..
Avatar f tn My blood pressure is normally 120/180. However, after jogging 3 miles my blood pressure will be 98/75. Why would my blood pressure go down, instead of up, during intense exersice?

Avatar f tn What questions should I ask re what type of blood pressure medication I should be on? I tried benicar and lisinopril and caused sinus drainage - however, they worked Then tried hydrochlorothiazide which cause major constipation .... Now on amlopidine beselate and coreq cr and have fatigue....seems the latter meds are overkill as I had only one coronary stent over 10 hrs ago and cardiologist a few weeks ago said my heart is fine.
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 m tn My dad took Flomax, and definitely had the dizziness issue, which is a result of blood pressure changes. He was 30+ years older than you, and had prostate cancer, so your experience may be very different. I don't know if you have prostatitis or BPH, or both - https://www.healthline.com/health/enlarged-prostate/prostatitis-and-bph That's up to the doctors. Has anyone been able to examine you or do any blood work or anything?
Avatar f tn I was doing really well for a while but now it seems the my blood pressure is becoming more unstable. I used to hang out in 90/60 sometimes 80/50's and still do hit lows but now it is also jumping high randomly like 134/108. Any idea why this may be happening? I was originally diagnosed after at Tilt Table Test at Mayo and our insurance no longer covers Mayo. I'm sure it's time to follow up but not sure if I should see a neurologist or cardiologist.
Avatar m tn He was using a old polar with a chest strap. I had taken xanax in the morning to reduce my blood pressure though. I also take flomax (for BPH). Was I dehydrated? Did the xanax cut off my oxygen and cause my heart to race up quickly? I went home and later in the day, used my owen polar with chest strap and simulated the test, and at 3 minutes was only at 104! The company will give me a retest. Any comments, did I screw myself over by taking xanax?
Avatar m tn An episode of painless gross hematuria. march 11: CAT Scan reveals “ 3 mm. distal right ureteral calculus just proximal to the UVJ causing minimal fullness of the right ureter.” Ever since: new symptoms -- pressure in the lower abdomen (pelvis and groin) and right side of what feels like bottom part of urinary tract, more uncomfortable when I stand (gravity?), and a constant urge to urinate (I am drinking more than 2 liters of water daily to try flush the stone).
Avatar m tn I did not associate it with flomax until recently. Is it harmful if I stop taking the flomax and is this the cause of my retro? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/226027'>Retrograde Ejaculation from Flomax......permanent or not?</a>.
1580703 tn?1651904887 if you google Flomax forum there's a discus thrower who reported loss of strength on it. my left eye which was going blind from bell's is now weaker.
Avatar f tn with liver cancer and low blood pressure. Does this mean that as the pressure lowers the body is slowly dying? My step father has stage 4 cancer and hepatitis c. Also gallbladder, stones and a hernia. Was told 6 months - 1 year...about 2 months ago.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever noticed any changes in their blood pressure and baby's heart rate before upcoming labor? I'm just wondering because today my blood pressure was like 98/56, usually it's over 100 and the baby's heart rate dropped from the usual 147-148 to 136. I'm 36 weeks and 4 days. I've been very alert during this pregnancy because I had my second child the day before I made 36 weeks.
Avatar f tn I take NADOLOL .--. It worked for me. Lowers blood pressure.
Avatar m tn uhm... erm.. ah... Yes! It does wonders for your blood pressure. in fact if you were to get a roll of aluminum foil and....;-) The "coincidence" you mentioned is probably that you feel very conformable in the hat as opposed to not having it. Or, it could be a coincidence that the days you have the hat happen to be the days with the least amount of stress and/or work you have.
Avatar f tn i also like to eat cactus with lemon lowers your blood pressure *** and makes sure ur sugar is normal i am plus sized and i dont have gestational diabetes or high blood pressure and my doctors are shocked always checking me
1516809 tn?1345082764 Today, I masturbated again, and again red blood in the semen after I felt pressure building in the head of the penis like always. Knowing what may happen, I try to control the force of the ejaculation without squeezing anything but I do not know if this helps. I have no pain while ejaculating or see any blood in my urine or have painful urination. Maybe I am not allowing myself to heal properly, and rushed?
Avatar n tn When the vagus nerve is irritated it lowers the heart rate. This, in turn lowers the blood pressure and the person passes out. It is the reason many cardiac arrests are found on the toilet. The "black-out" usually takes place when there is a co-factor. Generally a cardiac problem or low blood pressure. Your husband's life is in danger, and he needs to be evaluated at a hospital as of yesterday and undergo a cardiac evaluation. This is not a "minor issue".
Avatar n tn Had some crazy stress for 3-4 years and then suddenly I had severe UTI. After the UTI, my urinary pressure (tried urologist who said prostate seems ok and gave me flomax), Now I also dont get sexually excited. I feel less sensation around the tip of my penis. Is this due to the intense stress (non stop) for 4-5yrs?
Avatar n tn 2 years ago I was going to have my prostate removed because of a cancer problem and with the new procedures available. A doctor I was going to use stuck a camera up my penis and later that day I had to go to the emergency room because I could not urinate. They stuck a catheter in to releve the problem and ever since I've had to use a catheter to urinate. I did not have my prostate removed. I had a problem some 7 years a doctor found out from a biopsy I had cancer in one area of the prostate.
187666 tn?1331173345 have had obvious blood in urine for just over a year now, tests revealed nothing till a month or two ago. Found a stone lodged in right kidney. Last Tues. night ended up in ER. Seems like stone finally decided to migrate south into the ureter but not out into the bladder yet. Not sure if I'll know when it passes. Was put on Flomax to ease things along. But still having loads of blood in urine. Wondering if I'll know when it goes and when I can stop the Flomax.
