micardis

Avatar n tn I am concerned about my heart rate going to low and the huge list of side effects I read about them. The palpitations drive me nuts and scare me to no end. They can tell me I'm fine, and it's hard to take I'll just learn to "live with these". Also, they explained that dehydration and hormonal changes can make PVCs more often/stronger. Is this true? Any related information that can help me make an informed decision with my doctor would be very helpful. Thanks!
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 My husband developed squamous cell carcinoma 5 years ago. After 8 weeks of intensive radiation treatments, along with chemo, his behavior also changed. He doesn't remember things!! He also lost the use of his arms, his shoulder fell out of it's socket, he can not speak and can only eat thru a feeding tube. In the summer of 2009, after two years on home hospice, his tumors disappeared!!
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 I am ovarian cancer stage 4. I have had 1 treatment of "AVASTIN" and getting ready to start my second treatment tomorrow. Can anyone else on the treatment tell my of any side effect they have had from this, and did you have success in reducing your CA125.
Avatar n tn Hello, Has anyone else experienced a sore, swollen tongue and swollen and painful salivary glands after receiving RAI treatment? My taste buds are really messed up as well. I told my Endochrinologist about this and she says she's never heard of a swollen tongue as a side effect and told me it is unrelated. I have never had a swollen tongue in my life. She's making me feel like a freak! Is there anyone out there who has experienced tongue problems? If so, how long does it last?
Avatar n tn Yeah, I've seen all that. Unfortunately I saw it after I got on it. I'm going to talk to the originating doc about getting off this medicine, because I really don't like it as much as I first thought. HOWEVER, it did do it's job. It's now after more than a year and a half that the "ugly" side of it is starting to show. I've found some ways to manage its side effects, and most days still like being on the drug (with the exception of the expense).
120574 tn?1240767840 I too am on Avastin, but with daily cyclophosphamide pills and I'm not having many side effects either. I will tell you though, that I am exhausted lately...I'm assuming it's the Avastin. I had my last treatment last night and I feel ok today - really wiped out. I do tend to get mild headaches too, but never anything to severe. I would say that fatigue is by far the worst of it - so bad, it's making me mildly depressed. Thank God it's over.....for now!
Avatar m tn Everything from risk of infections, pneumonia,and heart disease as well as increased risk of stomach cancer. I am not allowed to refer you to my blog but I know that Dr.Mercola did a great blog with references on his website so you can read more THERE. What to take instead? What I give everyone including my dad! Good pharma grade digestive enzymes and betaine. Works much better and is totally safe.
Avatar n tn Are there any known side effects for Shen Calmer and Liver Happy Capsules? My dog has been taking them for about a week now. He is taking them for anxiety, no signs of relief yet, but no prescriptions have helped him so this is our last resort. The second day he vomited and the vet said she hadn't ever seen that so we have kept going.

Avatar f tn Thank you so much for sharing that with me. It helped a lot. I am so happy you are doing so well and that the side effects were minor for you. My mom's nerves are a little high right now not really knowing what to expect but Im sure it will all turn out just fine. Thanks again!

Avatar n tn Hi, Cough is a sudden, noisy and violent expulsion of air from the chest, caused by irritation in the air passages, or by the reflex action of a nervous or gastric disorder. Chronic and/or dry cough can be side effects of chemotherapy and other cancer treatments. Allergies and infection are common causes of cough.In response to the allergy-causing agent, people get drainage (usually clear drainage) or a "runny nose." Red, itchy eyes may accompany this cough too.

Some women experience irregular menstrual periods, headaches, fatigue, nausea and/or vomiting, vaginal dryness or itching, irritation of the skin around the vagina, and skin rash.

Avatar f tn Good evening Ladies, I have been following this group for the last couple of months and I would like to say that I am so GRATEFUL to know that I'm not alone in this journey. I have been struggling how to deal with this disease on a positive note. It has been hard, especially when I have to explain to people what the disease is ("Its not breast cancer, but it mimics the symptoms of breast cancer.....") and how the recovery process is.
Avatar f tn I go for blood work tomorrow and am suppose to get first RAI pill on Monday, body scan on Tues and treatment which is a larger dose of iodine later in the week.
Avatar f tn It should not be used during pregnancy unless your doctor tells you to do so. Micardis is pregnancy category C (during first trimester) and D (during 2nd and 3rd trimester) and it enters breast milk. It should not be used during pregnancy unless your doctor tells you to do so. I recommend you talk to your doctor about your situation before making any changes.
Avatar m tn Treatment started with 75mg Effexor and I got good result quickly. But the side effects started to mount up, I felt lazy, gained weight and lost interest in activities and sex. We cut back to 37.5 mg, things improved a little, but I want to feel more active again. it has been 18 months. Do I dare request to taper off? Is ther eeven a smaller dose? Would an different drug be an option. I think I am dealing with the flash back issue, but then again I am on Effexor!
