altace

Avatar f tn Why is my systolic blood pressure still high when I am taking Altace. My diastolic blood pressure is normal when I take Altace. Why the difference. Could I have angina since I have had pain in my chest around the heart area and in the middle of the chest. Also, could I have arterialschlorsis from the high systolic blood pressure?

Avatar m tn Coreg (beta blocker and ACE inhibitor) can/will dilate vessels as does an ACE inhibitor, and is sometimes used for heart patients. Discuss the options with your doctor. Hope this provides an insight for you.
Avatar n tn How much Tylenol were you taking? Were you abusing it?
Avatar f tn I take Toprol XL 200 mgs. and Altace 20mgs. and have for many years however recently I have experienced an increase in blood pressure. I have lost some weight and continue to diet as well as exercise. My doctor has tried two calcium channel blockers with the results that I become very ill and unable to continue these medications. Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn Can you please also share what was your heart beat(pulse rate) with 25x2 and later with 6.25x2. What I understand is lower the pulse rate better is the recovery of heart function. Are you able to maintain pulse rate below 70 bpm with present coreg dose and exercise regimen. I have no problems with ACE-I though. With 5mgx2 Ramipril my BP remains 110/70 most of the time.
Avatar f tn You should be asking your doc and the person who is going to control the anesthesia those questions. This is not a questions the lay population can really answer. Your doc and the anesthesiologist will be able to answer it specifically.
15695260 tn?1549593113 Recently, new research suggests that it is true! Certain medications that have been prescribed to lower blood pressure can slow dementia in seniors. ACE inhibitors showed a somewhat slower decline in memory and other mental skills than patients not on the drugs for some patients.
Avatar m tn It has been working for me without questions. I am on Cholesterol meds and hypertension meds(Metoprolol, Altace and Norvasc) which I have been taking for the last two years. Recently I used some viagra two hours before an encounter with my date. I started drinking after the taking the Viagra. The viagra did not work....I took another one and waited awhile and it still didn't work...I took one more and waited a while with no results....
Avatar m tn While I understand that this is probably a temporary side effect of the ablation and medication is this the case. I am taking Altace, Atenolol and Coumadin. Could this be Bradycardia?
Avatar f tn I started getting constant tachycardia almost 24hrs a day. It gets worse when i eat. They hospitalized me for 1 day...did an ECHO....it was normal. My HR is still up most of the time even when just laying in the bed. I haveo no history of high blood pressure....if anything its low. I have been in the ER with constant tachycardia . I 'm already in a weakened state.....my echo was normal. They monitored me for 24hrs in the hospital.
Avatar n tn I always had an active sex life, and now have a very good sex life again. What is going on, my penis has started this turtle type of thing where it retracts constantly into it self which is very uncomfortable. I take Lipitor, Nexium, and Altace for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heartburn. I had femoral artery blockages 13 years ago and was a smoker. Guys, I'm not making this up, somebody please advise if you ever heard of such a thing, this is very alarming.
Avatar m tn Sorry mate i don't know anything about larfe study but i hope someone will definitely tell you about it very soon as it is best forum for providing better solutions and information very quickly and after getting that information here it will also help me to know about it...
Avatar n tn Does this fall within the McDonald criteria for diagnosis and that is why he is waiting??? Should I be concerned with this and pursue other Neuro?
Avatar n tn , and have had the side effects of weight gain, slow metabolism, high cholesterol, and insomnia, and would like to know if I could just increase the dosage of the ace inhibitor -altace that I am also taking for this? And then maybe slowyly getting off and away from the beta blocker completely!
Avatar n tn What is a normal increase in ejection fraction with proper medical care? I had an ejection fraction that over the years has decreased to 20% and in the last six months it quickly returned to 60% indicated by measurements from both an echo and MUGA testing. The symptoms of CHF have not changed, so the blood flow per beat has not increased. Why has the EF increased so greatly and what would it indicate?
907729 tn?1244174363 Thanks for your post. You make a great point that losing weight is good for your health, from diabetes to heart disease to everything in between. It would be helpful to know what kind of heart surgery is being recommended, because sometimes there are procedures that are less invasive that could be considered, and could result in some improvement in how you feel. Weight loss surgery can be a great option for some people, but keep in mind that it often does come down to surgical risk.
Avatar m tn MY FAIGUE AND LIGHTHEADEDNESS IS OVERWHELMING...SOME DOCTORS ARE TELLING ME THE FAIGUE IS NOT ONLY A CARDIAC SYMPTOM (IE SOMETHING IS CAUSING MY RESTING FATIGUE)...
Avatar m tn I have a suspicion that this is due to the side effect of one or more of the above drugs. Is it true? Is it possible? What is the best course of remedy I should pursue?
Avatar m tn Apart from mention about moderate consumption of alcohol as stimulant for the heart,I am yet to find someone who is practising it with success.As for me I am an Anterior wall MI patient since last October.Following the heart attack I am also on medications.My EF was just 26% at the time of discharge from the hospital.It is time someone here enlightening us on the notion of alcohol and its benefit on heart disease.
Avatar f tn It would be much easier to obtain tissue from the breast than it is from the lung, and it would also be less dangerous. It is not surprising to get an inconclusive biopsy report for both breast and lung, but it is easier to convince women with suspected breast cancer to undergo excision of areas involved as the surgery is easier and safer. Of course, the first reason worsens the second reason. Since there is no screening, the mastery of the biopsy technique would naturally suffer.
Avatar m tn Get in to see your Dr. Swelling of the ankles means your probably retaining water for some reason. It's so hard to say if this is from your meds or something else. Only your Dr can say for sure. Please let us know what you find out and take care.
