micardis

Avatar n tn m 43 and my pressure generally ran around 185 over 120 (range). My doctor put me on a medicine called Micardis HCT which is a combination medication with the common diuretic hydrochlorothiazide and the drug telmisartan. This is the first time I have been on blood pressure medicine, and the drug has worked very well in terms of my blood pressure itself. I take my pressure at home with an electric blood pressure monitor and I now average about 130 over 72 to 75.
Avatar m tn 5) How common is renal cancer and what do you think the chances are that the HCT is elevated by an increased EPO resulting from renal or other cancer? 6) Do you think there is a correlation between low glucose and HIgh HCT? Can the excessive RBCs be cannibalizing any circulating glucose? Very concerned and worried. Any guidance?
1260907 tn?1269748318 I have gained a lot of body fat, I am currently on Micardis HCT for BP, Lortab for back pain post surgery, Lexapro, and of course the ambien to help me get to sleep. Dont get me wrong I couldnt stay up at night but I worked 3rd shift for 3 years till 10 months ago so night time is hard for me to fall asleep, when I do sleep it is not good sleep so I assume that is why I wanna sleep all the time. Just in general what is the chances of me having an underactive thyroid?
Avatar f tn ve developed seizures, had a blood transfusion and lost 20 pounds without trying. O had the transfusion cause my hgb was 5? And hct was 15? After the transfusion it brought my hgb to 11.2. But then it started to drop again. Since then I've had to follow up with a hematologist. He did a blood test. Wbc 3.0 L Rbc 3.83 L Hgb 9.1 L Hct 27.9 L Mch 25.3 L Rdw 15.5 H Anc 1.
Avatar n tn I am a 46 yr white female who had blood test levels that were slightly low in RBC and HCT. I had the labs repeated again 6 mths later and not only are the RBC and HCT low, now the CA is low. The levels are as follows (RBC 3.71, HCT 34.7 and CA 8.4). Should I be concerned and have my primary care physician refer me to an oncologist for cancer?
Avatar f tn I have been taking Atenolol 25 mg twice daily and Micardis 20 mg once daily. It's my fertile time. We had a mishap with a condom last night and I am concerned that I could become pregnant. Is the medication a concern, or should I contact my doctor?
Avatar m tn It always comes back the same. His HGB ranges from 18 -- 19, his HCT from 53% to 58%, his RBC 6.3 to 6.5. It is not getting worse, it's not getting better, it just bounces around in this range. He really never had bloodwork done before that, so it could have been high longer than that. My husband has no symptoms of anything being wrong with him. No pains or aches -- no shortness of breath.
Avatar f tn HGB 10.5; HCT 30.4; MCV 56; RDW-SD 32.9; RDW-CV 16.6 The HCT and MVC are very low. What can possibly be the cause? Can this be caused by formaldehyde poisoning? Thank you very much!
Avatar f tn My husbands grandmother had non-hodgkins. Now my husbands lab values are abnormal. Wbc, Rbc, Hct, hgb, rdw, neut, lymph, mono, baso#'s are high. Just really concerned. Referring us to a hemotologist. what do you think.

Avatar m tn BUT if you had cirrhosis, you are at increased risk of developing liver cancer (HepatoCellular Carcinoma, commonly known as HCC) and will need to have ongoing surveillance for liver cancer. Like screenings for breast cancer surveillance is done of people with an increased risk of cancer so the cancer can be detected in its early stage when it is most treatable and people can have the best outcomes. So it is VERY IMPORTANT to learn from your doctor if you were suspected of having cirrhosis.
Avatar m tn I am currently on MiCardis and Atenolol. Have responded well to them for over two years. Last few days have experienced increased BP according to my monitor but I'll check three times in a row and the readings will differ significantly (Ex: yesterday, 151/110 then 146/109 and finally 137/93) This has been happening the past four days. So my questions are: Should I seek to change medications? Change dosages? Or could there be other causes that are temporary that might 'go away'?
15993089 tn?1444575391 They had me take several deep breaths and moved it to my thumb and after several tries got a reading they were okay with. My HCT never returned to normal since my chemo for breast cancer which ended almost a year ago. I am having back and hip pain. When I told my oncologist about the headaches and lip numbness a couple of weeks ago, he said it was probably just anxiety. I'm scared these could all be early signs of metastasis but the oncologist clearly was not concerned.
Avatar m tn Hi, I was diagnosed with primary hypertension a year ago and since then have been on Lisinopril hctz and have recently changed to Micardis 20 mg. Now my BP is not normally high on a daily basis but it raises after drinking alcohol. Now my question is if my BP is high the next day after alcohol even with my meds does that mean my med is not working and I should change or is it normal for alcohol to raise BP and meds not to come into effect?
Avatar n tn diagnostic test results; WBC 4.8, RBC 4.89, HGB15, HCT 43.5, PLATELETS 301, LYMPHS 34, MONOCYTES 8.6, NEUTROPHILS 57.4?
Avatar f tn Also, may want to look into your lab reference ranges on the HGB/HCT- I believe the min. is 39 HCT and 12 HGB.
Avatar n tn Background: My dog is a 11yr old German shepherd with bad hips. As a result he daily takes 75mg Deramaxx, 2 Glucosamine tablets, 50mg Tramadol, and 100mg Atopica (cyclosporine) with 200mg ketoconazole for an anal fistula problem. He had a yearly checkup 3 weeks ago. Bloodtest, wellness testing, vaccines, nails trimmed. They trimmed one nail too short, it bled alot, but they put a clotting agent on it. All blood levels were fine.

Avatar f tn I got a copy of labs. Wbc was 2.9 hct was low and hgb was low. Both were slightly low. He had blood work in nov and all levels have dropped since then. The platelets were in the normal range on low end but were down from nov labs. Any ideas?
2112617 tn?1334326066 My cardiologist has put me on HCT 25mg. That was two weeks ago. Now it seems as though my weight loss is at a standstill. What do I do? My starting weight before wls was 325. I am now 214. My ideal weight is 150. Help.
Avatar m tn Do you have a fever? A rapid heart rate over 100 at rest is a medically significant symptom and could be an indication of serious cardiovascular condition. There could be blocked arteries in your legs, called peripheral artery disease that may be causing your leg pain. “If you can walk through the pain and it gets better as you go, it’s rheumatoid arthritis,” says Michael R.
