tamsulosin and low blood pressure

While tamsulosin is used primarily as a prostate medication, it can also lower blood pressure in some individuals. This may be a sign that your blood pressure is high (which may lead to chest pain in some), which is then being reduced by the tamsulosin. Enlargement can occur due to a number of reasons. Right atrium and ventricle enlargement can sometimes happen in the setting of underlying pulmonary disease, or severe disease of the left side of the heart.

Are you able to check your blood pressure at home? One of the potential side effects of the med you're taking is sudden drop in blood pressure, and that correlates with the symptoms you describe.

In the mean time, while regularly consulting urologists, testing PSA, its velocity, doubling time and free %,, having lower abdomen scanning (CT and ultrasonography) I developed symptoms of BPH mainly shown as a very important post void residual (PVR, increasing from 100-200 to about 500mL). I am prescribed tamsulosin 0.4mg/d and doubling dose to 0.8mg/d but PVR remains very high and considering TURP or similar.

I've been taking tamsulosin for 3 or 4 years now after my urologist prescribed it for BPH. I've slowly started having leakage issues lately where I will have a strong sudden urge to urinate and have a difficult time holding it until I can get to a toilet. Sometimes some urine leaks out and other times the urge will pass and I can wait before racing to the toilet.

IVP normal. Urologist has followed up with blood work and 24-hour urine collection.I have my blood work results from the lab, but make no attempt to interpret them. That's my doctor's job and I see him next week to review everything. Glucose BUN, Creatinine, eGFT, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Carbon Dioxide Calcium and Uric Acid all in normal range.

A doctor prescribed Amoxicillin 625mg + Tamsulosin medicine for 10 days to me. I have a side effect after taking Tamsulosin (Retrograde ejaculation) or any other ejaculation problem. Is this normal or should I stop using Tamsulosin? Or will it (Retrograde ejaculation ) recover after stop using ten days? Should I keep getting Tamsulosin for 10 days or stop?

I have had painful external orgasms and urination, and although my enlargement is not that bad-the Urologist told me it was .5 and had others at 1 and 1.5-I am still suffering quite a bit with pain and discomfort. Swimming helps a bit, and I am lucky enough not be going every half hour or hour. Actually, I only went 1 time during the night and average 3-4 hours before going. But the discomfort that comes after urinating is really a pain in the tookas.

i went to the doctor and they said everything was fine my heart was fine, and they checked my thyroid and i havent got the results back for that yet they said my pulse was high it was 135 and it is usually 90bmp so idk whats going on with my pulse and idk why my blood pressure got so low... and i usually type in big letters..

I have low blood pressure and have a hard time getting out of bed most days and want to start exercising but how do I get my blood pressure up and excercise without complications

i went to the doctor yesterday and she took my blood pressure. it was 80/44 is that bad to be at the age of 17.

I always have low blood pressure because my iron levels are super low.

Low potassium levels and low blood pressure are typical for a primary adrenal insufficiency.

t give me anything they just want to check me sooner and if my blood pressure is still low they will take me for a c section that day ! I told him I've been feeling really tired and weak lately, he said if it keeps on going or gets worse to call him ASAP !

You should try to ask a doctor why he thinks your blood pressure is so low. Ask about your thyroid. Hypothyroid can cause low blood pressure among other things. Weight loss could cause your pressure to lower. Get yourself a home monitoring pressure device and take it daily in the morning and evening and adjust your diet accordingly. It sure has helped me.

anything below 90/60 is considered low. I have low blood pressure when i was preganant it was 90/58 but because i have no dizziness the doctor said im fine and we will treat it if it effects me at all.

IN BETWEEN ALL THESE TEST I DEVELOPED DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY. I LOSS WEIGHT FROM 207 TO 191 NOW MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAS GONE DOWN TO A LOW OF 97/62 AND HAVE VARIED. YESTEDAY IT WAS 115/71 WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS DROP? MY DOCTOR TELLS ME NOT TO WORRY? IT SCARES ME AS TO WHY THE DROP.

I guess I feel alright it just worries me that my blood pressure is running low and I'm having these other health issues. Just took my BP again and it's 96/55 currently. My hands are always cold and I have been more tired recently. This is all so frustrating to me and I don't know what to do. I've had such a bad day with my chest aching, it's miserable. If that is acid irrirating my esophagus, then why aren't PPIs helping me?

one is high blood pressure and other is low blood pressure.

I would lay down, the nurse would take my blood pressure it would be normal. I stood up and my blood pressure dropped dangerously low, about 30 points less which caused me to pass out or become very dizzy in less than a minute. Not sure if yours is like that but I would say Lyme does have an effect on BP because of all the people I know that have that. In my non medical opinion.

So anyways, I was told I have low blood pressure. My problems have been for over a year, tired, (went from being extremely hyper person/ single mom with 3 kids running non stop and living off of 4 hours a sleep.) and feeling like I was stopping breathing at night. Had a fainting episode in that time frame where they found I need the pace maker. So now 4 months later I still have alot of symptoms that wont go away.

hey i've been noticing low blood pressure lately i'm on high bp meds but as of lately when i check it its like 114/72 105/68 110/71 113/70 109/76 97/68 what could this mean???

Hi mommies. I'm 16 weeks and just had a doctor's visit Friday but my blood pressure was lower than normal, 96/50... I know normal is 120/80... anyone else have/had low bp while pregnant and have/did you have any symptoms or complications? Doctor said it's not alarming. I get occasional migraines, dizzines and nausea but so far my pregnancy has been good.
