micardis hct my card

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.

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?

Hydrochlorothiazide, abbreviated HCTZ, HCT, or HZT, is a first line diuretic drug of the thiazide class that acts by inhibiting the kidneys' ability to retain water. This reduces the volume of the blood, decreasing blood return to the heart and thus cardiac output and, by other mechanisms, is believed to lower peripheral vascular resistance.

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?

diagnostic test results; WBC 4.8, RBC 4.89, HGB15, HCT 43.5, PLATELETS 301, LYMPHS 34, MONOCYTES 8.6, NEUTROPHILS 57.4?

I was given Carvedilol, Micardis, and Spironocatone what my cardiologist is attempting to do is to slow my heart rate down but meds for slowing down my heart rate also lowers my already low normal blood pressure and then dizziness occurs. My PCP, my OB/GYN and my Opthalmologist are all alarmed but my cardiologist is not, so I guess I have to look for another cardiologist. Thanks for you help.

My hepc doc knows my medication so I am assumimng seeing he is th specialist it is ok , I take Micardis 80 mg

1. Splenic contarctions under duress can affect HCT count 2. Dehaydration can also be a cause, though vet said potassium levels were normal, in fact they were super high-normal, one more point and they would be high on the reference range 2. Dipstick analysis prone to false positives, therefore questioning accuracy of +++ on protein My questions: 1) Blood was drawn at 6pm, did not leave for the lab until after 9am the following morning. Could suspect handling/storage impact HCT readings?

.WBC-12,RBC-4.10, HGB-9.9, HCT-32.6, MCV-79.5, MCH-24.1, MCHC-30.4, RDW-15.2, PLATELETS 489, WHAT CAN BE WRONG?

Last Thursday evening at 8:30 PM, I received a call from my Dr's office worriedly saying my labs were back, and I needed to come in as soon as possible! Hmmm... I found out it was from the fill-in Dr, and asked if it was because my HGB , HCT, and ANC were low...She says,"Yes, how did you know?" I rattled off my last #s and let her compare to them...stunned silence...As if a person couldn't possibly have #s like that and still be conscious..

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'?

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?

hello. tks for your note. as i was taking iron during my pregnancies my endo said that i should take my thyroxine 5 hrs prior to iron so i didnt have any problems. do y think that was a satisfactory period ?

my endocrinologist took me off the diovan hct and didnt want me to have any diuretics. However, he wanted me to have a renin and aldersterone test. Which i have not taken yet. Anyway, my body has been retaining fluid and I went to my primary yesterday and he wants me to see a cardiologist for congestive heart failure, low postassium and when can I go back on diuretics. Is CHF really an issue in this case. I'm really concerned.

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?

I so much want a normal life of being slimmer...I use to weigh 230 for over the past years I've gained...My motivation is at its lowest....I found out that people who can lose weight before surgery they have programs but I was left with only more depression..only because my surgeon lied to me....I'm now pre/diabetic and my bones in my back is pressing against my spine..

I did speak to my doctor and my medication has been changed to one that is less strong I am taking Micardis 4mg. You are right my water intake could be better I am making it a priority to have a bottle of water with me all the time.

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.

I was released after 28 days in the hospital for a cardiac cath site infection this was on the 12th of Sep. since my release I have had a rapid pulse between 105 and 125, swelling in my lower legs, and pain both in the calf and front which is aggravated by walking or climbing stairs. Sitting there is no pain at all. What is causing this? I take several BP medicines as well as cholesterol meds. Micardis, plavix, a diuretic amlodipine.

The emergency room took me off the HCT due to my potassium level being so low and the endo dr. took me off the diovan hct and just gave me a prescip for diovan without the diuretic. I am miserable as heck. I'm wheezing, cant sleep and I have to wait at least one more week to take the renin and aldersterone test. Please tell me there is hope for me.

Hello, I would be very very grateful if somebody could give me a wise opinion about my blood test analysis .

God bless you!

I had to have them fill out a paper for preschool. The form has something called HCT/HGB and instead of checking normal or abonormal he checked Refer?? Whatever that means. He also said he has slow growth acceleration and ordered some blood work. My question is...how in the world do you get a 4 year old who has always been stubborn to eat? He will only eat ceral or milk. I never had this problem with ANY of my other kids and they all eat anything and everything and love fruits and vegetables.

Are you on any medications to control your tachycardia? If you resting HR is over 100 I'd think a beta block should be tried to get it lower. You should get a heart check-up with a cardiologist, I believe.
