Avatar m tn Years ago I had a dry cough due to heart failure, but it usually happened at night while in an inclined position. There were other symptoms that included faster than normal heart rate and shortness of breath. Thanks for sharing and if there are any followup questions you are welcome to ask.
Avatar f tn I am confused by the drug RAMIPRIL. The leaflet in box and details in British Formulary list WEIGHT LOSS as a side effect (I have lost 6 kilos). On the Internet there are many letters regarding weight gain but nothing about weeight loss. Why is this?
Avatar m tn Thank you jrbon. Yes, we are completely aware the part/size of damage of the heart muscle will have the impact on the LVEF. You have mentioned the biggest part of recovery takes place between 6-3 months. After the HA she had, last week was the first time we took the echo, which is precisely 3 months and 2 weeks after the HA, with an increase of 2%. Is it too early to predict by looking at this measure? I heard the ejection rate anything greater than or equal to 50% is good.
Avatar m tn About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with hyper-tension. My Dr. put me on Lisinopril. Late last year (2014), I developed a dry hacking cough. My Doctor & I concluded that it must've been the Lisinopril. Then, I was put on Losartan. Within 2 1/2 months my muscles started to ache which led to problems sleeping. My legs ( calves & hamstrings) would get very tight & I would need to constantly stretch. Has anybody using Losartan experienced these side effects??
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.
Avatar f tn Ramipril is very capable of causing serious side effects including raising bp. It raised mine by over 80 points. The side effects of this drug can happen immediately or after a long period. Also I would question it's use in kidney disorders of any kind as it can damage kidneys and cause stenosis. Check out as much as you can about safer alternatives. As is common these days many GPs are unaware of the potential for damage that these drugs have.
Avatar n tn I have not had that on bp meds but have only taken them since December My friend does have this dry cough from their medication. Are you on an ACE inhibitor? https://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/guide/side-effects-high-blood-pressure-medications https://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/news/20010816/on-ace-inhibitor-you-dont-have-to-cough-up-lung What does your doctor say about the cough? Is your bp controlled?
Avatar f tn My mother is 66 and has had a persistent dry chronic cough for almost 10 years. She has shortness of breath and is unable to take deep breaths without it causing a coughing fit. The doctors have given her bronchodilators and allergy medication and her condition does not get any better. They now insist that its acid reflux. However, the medication does not help. She sometimes has a low grade fever and her body is super achy from all the coughing.
955491 tn?1253935699 any cuts or scratches on my feet or legs seem to become worse and more itchy and irritated as days go by-i have made every attempt to be careful while doing yard work-a nasty throaty cough seems to have developed.unknown if its related to the side effects--doing a search for each side effect related to doxil turns up numerous possibilities.and yes i know the alternative is far worse and even fatal -so what can one do but wait be grateful ? thank you and my best to everyone.
Avatar m tn Symptoms dry cough, dyspnea, fever, and fine inspiratory crackles where side effects are not related to ribavirin Pneumonitis is s RARE dangerous side effect linked to peginterferon in comparison with conventional interferon One remarkable finding is that mortality occurred exclusively in patients with peginterferon-induced pneumonitis in comparison with conventional interferon Interstitial pneumonitis occurs only rarely as a side-effect of HCV combination treatment and often leads to disco
Avatar f tn I have taken prednisone many other times, with no adverse side effects. I went to the doctor yesterday with the following symptomps; even though I knew that I was getting enough air, I felt that I could not get a good breath and my throat felt very tight and jaw just clenched open while I was gasping for breath. I also felt very anxious. I never experienced this before. Boy it was scary.
1108194 tn?1378424522 My mother just had her 1st shot of Lucentis. She has a small leak. She is also on Glaucoma eye drops. She is experiencing extreme fatigue and she said her thoughts/memory seem fuzzy. How long do these side effects last? My mother is a small person who doesn't take any other medications except for the eyes. She works out everyday. She isn't up to that either. Does she have to get these every 4 weeks or can they space them out more or lesser dose?
Avatar f tn Thanks for your reply. There are so many side effects from so many of the drugs that I wondered if the cough could be one of them. I guess it is just a coincidence. Have you been seizure free since you are on dilantin? His seizures were so violent (he broke a bone in his back caused by the seizure) that it really scares me. He has been fine now but I am the one listening to every noise and not being able to relax.
Avatar f tn Your cough could come from your medication you are taking,side effects. Look up what kind of side effects could come your medication or drug interaction. Lisonopril does it for me and my freind. Good luck.
Avatar f tn 5mg everyday, for to treat the diabetic nephropathy, i can get ramipril in my town but its 5mg ramipril capsule in the chemists, and his medications are over, so should i let him take the 5mg ramipril? my big concern is would the dose cause hypoglycaemia or any other effects as the dosage will be double the dose hid doctor prescribed? please help me on that, i will be grateful...thank you.
Avatar m tn Then, on the fourth day, it all returned with a vengeance. Sore throat, dry cough, white coated tongue, and since then has only gotten worse. I stopped the Zantac after about 12 days and on that day my neck started to ache like crazy. The day after I was in pain and had a bad sore throat, still dry coughing. Is this a side effect of the Zantac? Or is this a sign my throat is healing from never having taken this kind of medicine before?
341137 tn?1287305043 I have tried to find the side effects for all these medicines and the one that seems to bring on rashes is LAXIX - does anyone else have symptoms from any of these medications? and is it likely that it is the LAXIX that is doing this or something else.
