Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar n tn What you have to do is get you blood pressure down. I am not familiar with Telmisarten 40, but assume it is a beta blocker or other medication that lowers blood pressure, and likely also pulse rate. High blood pressure can over a long period of time cause heart enlargement and many associated arrythmia problems, and in the worse case congestive heart failure. That's what understand.

Avatar m tn All the results where normal with slight changes in LIPID profile numbers. Again when I visited the doctor with these report results he re checked my BP and it read 140/100 the next time. 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.....

Avatar f tn m taking regularly is Telmisartan amlodipine besilate 40/5 for my hypertension, one tablet a day, which i take afterr breakfast. I also take Centrum Silver, one tablet a day, after breakfast or after lunch. I don't have anxiety, hand tremors, or eye problems. I don't have insomnia either. My T3 and T4 values are very close to the highest normal value. Do you suggest I consult a doctor? What kind of doctor would you suggest I see? Thank you.
Avatar n tn These drugs, already on the market for treating hypertension, have been shown to stabilize and in many cases (like mine) reduce aortic root diameters, depending on the dosage you take. The studies generally indicate that the higher the dosage (at least maximum FDA-approved dosage or higher), the better the results. Sufficient dosage is key; if you don't take enough of the drug, you will get no results.
336017 tn?1263579257 I had my aortic valve replaced in Oct 07. I had an echo done and then a CT scan a few weeks ago. I was told that my aortic root was dilated. My Doctor said in was 4.3 cm. Not to worry about it and that he would do another echo in 6 months. Is this normal? Why would it be dilated? I was told it was 3.5 cm before my operation. I have to admit, it's always on my mind. Should I be worried?
Avatar f tn Recently my electrophysiologist had me cut metropol in half as my heart rate was consistently running in low 40s. My bp immediately went up so he had me resume full dose and instead cut cardizem in half. That was about 4 days ago. It seemed to be working ok until last night. At 8:30 p.m. bp was 108/67. I woke up around 2 a.m. with a headache on back right side of head plus shoulder pain. I have fibromyalgia so assumed it was from that. By 4 a.m when I took my dog out I decided to check bp.
Avatar m tn In a pharmacokinetic study, administration of a single 8 mg dose of silodosin with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg) resulted in a 3.8-fold increase in silodosin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and a 3.2-fold increase in systemic exposure (AUC).
