micardis

95361 tn?1219870284 I am 44, female, and on four meds for HTN. I am also diabetic and on oral meds, along with various other medical issues (hypothyroid, controlled, for instance). Last night I had a sudden onset of palpitations, with the "missed/skipped beat" coming about 5-15 times per minute. My bp was not terribly high, at around 140's/90's, but I did feel light headed and "strange" during this time. I had just eaten popcorn a while before and my bg was elevated at 198.
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 m interested in hearing from anybody who has had similar symptoms, or a similar course of action before getting a diagnosis. I have never really heard of tinnitis or vertigo being symptoms of MS, and those are the main reasons I even started pursuing medical help to begin with. The doctors have ruled out some explanations (like the acoustic neuroma), but there are still other possibilities on the table (Meniere's disease, or even high blood pressure for example).
Avatar n tn It kind of sounds like a form of Action tremors, but I have to agree with mkh9.
Avatar m tn The onset of action ranges from 45 minutes - 1 ½ hours, and the duration of action is six hours. Diazepam carries a bi-phasic half-life of 20-50 hours (for Diazepam), and 30-200 hours (for Desmethyldiazepam). Valium is indicated for the long-term management of generalized anxiety and tension-anxiety. Tolerance will not develop to the anxiolytic property of Diazepam, although tolerance will develop to the sedative/hypnotic property.
Avatar m tn A partial µ-opioid receptor agonist, its mixed agonist/antagonist activity affords it a lower risk of dependence and abuse than full µ agonists like morphine. Meptazinol exhibits not only a short onset of action, but also a shorter duration of action relative to other opioids such as morphine, pentazocine, or buprenorphine.
280692 tn?1277105942 thank you for the very informative answer to my query and enlightened me on my worries. my doctor upgrade the dosage of my medication. now, i take 80mg of Micardis from 40mg and i am waiting for the result of my 2decho test.
Avatar f tn What is the onset of action after taking a dose of the immunoglobulin.
Avatar n tn Hi Brian, None of those medications jump out at me as a typical cause of your symptoms(does not mean absolutely that none of them may be contributing). If you have breast enlargement, that may be the cause itself and you still need an evaluation for that. Please do speak with your doctor about going forward with other tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.This should be done as soon as possible.
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'?
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 f tn After he/she takes the x-ray, they will go over them to determine what plan of action to take. After a few treatments, you should start to feel better.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
548642 tn?1266179652 Hey Rocker, You mention a blood pressure med called Micardis, I thought someone on this board said they were taking blood pressure meds while on TX. I may be looking to treat soon and I just started back on Micardis. I have boderline high BP so I could stop if it is not recommended. Do you have a link I could refer to about the meds you posted about?
1175891 tn?1265728013 Does anyone have some insight as to what it could be, or a good course of action to deal with it? Keep in mind, in the military you need to get a referral to be seen by a full blown doctor, and since they have run the course with cardio tests, I am afraid the next PHD they send me to will be a psychiatrist. Thanks.
Avatar m tn It can lower your blood pressure and may increase some of the side effects of Micardis. Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes while you are taking Micardis, unless your doctor has told you to. You are very young and have the rest of your life to enjoy a drink with friends. Getting drunk is not good for your heart or indeed for the rest of your body. This is an important decision you need to make right now. Look after your body for now or suffer more serious consequences.
Avatar f tn If your mother is having having some kind of withdrawal symptoms, it is because of something else you are taking or lack thereof, not because of the Plavix.
Avatar f tn MY plug came out a month before I had both of my other kids.
Avatar f tn Both Flexeril and Zanaflex are muscle relaxants with Zanaflex having a shorter duration of action than Flexeril. At times a combination of a long acting relaxant is given with a short acting one for proper control of spasticity. Whether you need both or not can be decided only by your treating doctor based on your symptoms and response to drugs. Take care!
Avatar m tn I am not physically restricted - I walk 1 mile or more day and do 10 minutes of other light exercises most days. My BP runs under 120/80 most of the time. I understand carvedilol helps prevent stiffening of the heart muscle and can help restore LV function to some degree. How specially, so it do this? What is the biochemical mechanism?
