Hi - I am a 32 year old male. I am hypertensive for the last 2-3 years and had a BP of 150/100. The doctor has now put me on Telmisartan 40 mg and Amlodipine 5 mg (it is one tablet per day) for 2 weeks. My BP has now reduced to 140/80. I was asked to take a 2D echo and a tread mill test yesterday and here are the findings :
1. 2-D Echo findings - Mild LVH. LVID-d : 3.92mm, LVID-s : 2.06 mm, LVPW-d : 1.22 mm, LVPW-s:1.64 mm, IVS-s : 1.11 mm, IVS-d : 1.27 mm, EF-70%.
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.
After looking at the results he confirmed that I am hypertensive and have administered me with BP drug Telmisartan IP 40mg. After this I am continuously monitoring my BP for next two days after taking the drug everyday in the morning after break fast and the readings are 130/90 and 130/80.....I have following questions:
1. Am I required to continuously take the drug life long (prescription by doctor was for 30 days)
2.
IS THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TAKING COMBINATION OF TELMISARTAN &AMLODIPINE FOR LONG TIME
I am 33 year male having hypertension from 3 years taking telmisartan 40 mg from last two years.Now my bp is under control comes under 130/85. I had urine albumin excretion test three times result shows between 100 to 75 mg/dl albumin excretion ( 24 hour urine albumin test on submission of around 1.5 liter urine).The normal values shows in lab report is up to excretion of 150 mg/dl/ .My serum creatinine level comes between 0.8 to 1.0 and urea under 20.
Your creatinine is still high because you likely have chronic kidney disease from the hypertension. The Telmisartan-HCTZ that was given will not make your creatinine low, it is to treat your hypertension and prevent further damage to your kidneys. It is also possible you have some protein in your urine which the Telmisartan helps to reduce. Also, Telmisartan can cause a slight increase in your creatinine but it is usually not a very significant increase.
Group I which included 13 patients , 8 were not diabetic or hypertensive (Group Ia) and 5 patients were diabetic and/or hypertensive (Group Ib). Patients of this group were given Interferon alpha2b monotherapy for 24 weeks. Group II included 9 patients, 5 were not diabetic or hypertensive (Group IIa) and 4 patients were diabetic and/or hypertensive (Group IIb). Patients of this group were given interferon alpha2b plus ribavirin for 24 weeks.
I have no other problems other than herniated c5-c6 and occipital/trigeminal neuralgia and have been on neurontin for 6 months....I am concerned...why am I hypertensive...I first thought it was because I was having pain but I took pain med and BP really doesn't come down much....I am not really in any pain just the gas pains occasionally and I am walking but I am afraid to do too much because of my BP...Could the CO2 be compressing some of my vessels causing me to be hypertensive?
The most recent studies have shown that beta blockers have minimal positive benefit, if any, and that patients taking beta blockers actually reached clinical endpoints sooner/with greater frequency than those not taking beta blockers.
If your aorta is dilated and is continuing to dilate, or if you strongly suspect Marfan Syndrome, please do some Google research on a class of drugs called ARBs, such as losartan. These drugs have shown immense benefit to patients with aortic disease.
My BP stays around 170/100. Highest was recorded 176/110. I have been on Telmisartan 40mg for few weeks but it killed my sex drive entirely. I stopped taking it & gradually recovered from low libido. Also i've noticed a general decline in libido & an onset of ED after i crossed age 40. Now my libido is not that strong as it used to be 4 years back even without medicine.

This will usually disappear gradually with the continuous use of the drug within 2-3 months. However, some patients complain from persisting cough for 6 months and even for longer time. A good alternative in this case is Angiotensin II receptor blockers (eg Candesartan, Telmisartan, Valsartan..).

Long term or inadequately controlled hypertension can affect the blood vessels in the retina and the consequent changes are referred to as hypertensive retinopathy. Hence a regular follow up with an ophthalmologist is recommended for all hypertensive patients to study these changes.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Ophthalmologic disorders
Decrease or loss of vision, retinopathy including macular edema, retinal artery or vein thrombosis, retinal hemorrhages and cotton wool spots, optic neuritis, and papilledema may be induced or aggravated by treatment with peg-intron alpha 2b or other alpha interferons. All patients should receive an eye examination at baseline. Patients with preexisting disorders (e.g.
Ectopic beats are rarely attributed to CAD. We sometimes order a stress test to make sure in higher risk patients, but not on all patients. If you are low risk, it is true that a stress test is more likely to yeild a false positive test.
MVP is associated with more pvc's. It doesn't sound like your MVP is that bad though.
It is also true that stress (emotional or physicial like exercise) can cause some people to have more events.
Caution and clinical monitoring are recommended if these agents are prescribed together, especially to patients with underlying risk factors. Generally it is commmon to see a anti-hypertensive, a antiarrhythmic, and possibly a cardiogenic agent such as digoxin, and a diuretic, prescribed together when heart disease exists. This is not unusual. Good luck with your research!
Hi, I am a 54 years old. I have never smoked, am quite active but a little obese, no diabetes, nor have high bad cholesterols/triglyceride.
Seven weeks ago, in the middle of the night, I had gripping pain in both my wrists, which then spread to my chest. My blood pressure (amazingly and for the first time in my life), shot up from my regular 130/90 to 200/120, and that too for no known reason. Pulse remained normal at 75/m.
In the previous JNC 7 guidelines released in 2003, the target blood pressure was less than 140/90 mm Hg for most hypertensive patients and less than 130/80 mm Hg for patients with chronic kidney disease or diabetes.
You take metoprolol, diltiazem, enalapril and telmisartan. The first two agents address primarily heart rate (HR) but are not great blood pressure (BP) drugs. Speaking of HR, what is the reason that you see an electrophysiologist? Atrial fibrillation? and are you feeling poorly when your heart rate is 40s?
