Avatar m tn At that time I was taking 50 mg of Atenelol per day for heart palpitations, nothing more than OTC acid reducer. The new MD prescribed Hyzaar for HPB. I had horrible feelings so we cut it to half per day 25mg and 25 Atenelol. I still have days that I cannot function, I feel heavy in my head and chest and just have no energy at all. I have great days and horrible days but lately more horrible days. I just don't feel right.
Avatar n tn My MD put me on Hyzaar for hypertension. Previously I had been on Cozaar but she changed it to Hyzaar for the added benefit of the diuretic. I noticed my drug company autosubbed generic Losortan. The bottle doesn't say anything about hydrochlorothiazide being included. Could I be getting the wrong thing, or should I assume some form of hydrochlorothiazide is included?
Avatar f tn I have been told that it is hereditary and there is nothing I can do to stop it. I am on metoprolol tartare 25 mg. and hyzaar 100/25, both taken 1 qd. hyzaar in am and meto... in pm. We are talking that within 2 years I will have a valve replacement (when it reaches 5.0 cm). Is there anything I can do to stop the progression?
222369 tn?1274474635 ve gone from 280 to 248 or so. My high blood pressure was under control at the 280 lb mark by way of Hyzaar 100-25. My blood pressure is now in the low range (averaging 108/58). At what point in my weight loss (goal of 220 or lower) would you think I'd need to have my BP meds changed (if at all). I just thought a member here may have already gone through this and would have some advice. Thanks in advance!!
Avatar f tn I was on Lisinopril for kidneys too but it made me cough too much so my doctor switched me to Hyzaar.
Tbd I seem to be taking in more sugar free substitutes in place of sugar. Is it better to just go without the substitute?
Avatar n tn Also, I feel very tired most of the day. My weight is 170 pounds, blood pressure is normal (I take Hyzaar) and cholestorel levels within normal range. I have had EKG, Stress Test, and Echo done and all came out OK. The EKG shows early repolarization. I have been experiencing the sympoms often now and I am worried if I have CAD, but my doc seems not be too worried about it. Also, one of my uncles died young because of heart attack. Any suggestions woould help.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know of any sugar substitutes that don't have an aftertaste? Even Steva and Splenda have that aftertaste. I'm using raw sugar (2 tsp) right now for morning coffee because I can't find anything else right now. I even tried coconut palm sugar but figured it's just the same as using raw sugar. Any advice would be super. Thanks!
Avatar m tn Exercise (aerobic) can help the heart increase heart contractions. Does your stress test report indicate hypokinesis (heart muscle impairment)? Is your ejection fraction (EF) between 50 and 70%...that calculation is the amount in percentage of blood pumped out of the left ventricle with each heartbeat? Is your left ventricle enlarged? Those readings would indicate degree of any lost contractility, and whether or not there should be treatment and another cardiologist's analysis.
Avatar m tn It is a combination of Valsartan and the same diuretic as Hyzaar. It is essentially the same as Hyzaar which contains a combination of hydrochlorothiazide and losartan. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. Losartan is also in a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
Avatar m tn I wake up with numb hands alot sometimes up my arms too. Pressure is normal and I am on Crestor at the maximum dose, toprol xl, coumadin, plavix, hyzaar, aciphex, hay fever meds. Also, for the last 6 months my Mean corpusle size has been high. Other tests ok... so my doctor is not real concerned. Anyhow, I am alittle concerned. Do you folks have any ideas at Med whatever this is?
Avatar n tn Sugar substitutes or non-caloric drinks will not affect your blood sugar, but I would consume in moderation. You may want to speak to a registered dietitian or contact the American Dietetic Association. Foods containing sugar alcohols have given me an upset stomach when I have eaten too much.
Avatar n tn Hi, i was just recently diagnosed and i know exactly what your feeling. Ive found that 1. just not eating it and 2. substitutes work great for things like tea, jello, pudding and the likes, but the most important thing is that you realize that you cant have that much of it. After a time of not having that much you will loose the desire. I know its hard, but its better for your eyes, your legs, your toes, your health in the long run.
5536886 tn?1455827346 In trying to find the best substitutes- I've started using coconut oil and olive oil in our diet. I just heard that coconut oil is as bad as butter and we shouldn't be using it- does anyone know if that is true? What alternatives have you found for butter and cooking oils?
1069117 tn?1320276427 all i think of when i hear these symptoms is my allergy to splenda-sucralose u cant believe how bad myself and so many other people felt from sugar substitutes if this is of any interest or applies at all go online about peoples reactions and allergies to splenda and other sugar substitutes if this is no use think of other new things over the last month she ate or drank hope she feels better

7557112 tn?1399509472 I honestly believe what you choose do to for your baby is all up to you what you eat and what you dont. I think if you choose not to take them than you need to find substitutes for the vitamins you are not taking in. Safe substitutes with out over eating.
Avatar f tn Yes..you need to steer clear of raw fish and fish high in mercury and deli meat that hasn't been microwaved for over 2 minutes. Sugar substitutes in moderation and one cup or coffee a day.
Avatar f tn Please consider any of the other milk substitutes first. Rice and almond are two of the most common other milk substitutes. Soy happens to be another really big allergen. The majority of it is also GMO. Most of us already get too many bio-estrogens, so we don't need to add phyto-estrogen to our exposure. Only a thin margin of 1% of soy products made the traditional way are any good for us. Mercola has written extensively about how soy is NOT health food.
Avatar n tn Pepcid 20-mg. You can try one of these substitutes and determine whether one or two tablets takes care of your acid problem. All of these medications were one time prescription medicines, so the OTC strength may not be as strong as Prilosec. I keep both of the substitutes handy in case of an emergency.
