Common Questions and Answers about What strengths does diovan hct come in
diovan
ve been using anti-hypertensives for ten years now starting with Lotensen and then switching to Diovan HCT then to hydroclorothyazide for a year or two then back to Diovan HCT. I am about 20 kgs overweight. I walk every day and when in a good routine 8 kms a day, up and down hills through fields etc.
my toes and lower legs are feeling numb. I tried metoprol and diovan hct and although by bp is in the normal range my heart rate is elevated unless I continue on the cardizem cd. Is there another medication that I can discuss with my cardiologist to replace the cardizem cd that will keep my heart rate in the normal range? I feel I've got to withdraw from the cardizem as the side effects seem to be progressing the longer I use the medication.
I don't know how soon you're going to see your cardiologist, but for gosh sakes, if the scan confirmed the ultrasound's problem with the kidney artery, then you should be in his office ASAP and he ought to be addressing that issue forthwith. As for the further test that causes an allergy problem, perhaps they could do it without the contrast dye.
No pressure numbers were provided in the cardiologist report. My COPD is severe FEV1 45% but DLCO only 35% and I am fully O2 dependent. I can walk a mile but have to rest as I still desaturate on 6L O2. Recently started Symbicort inhaler and systemic blood pressure went up 180/108 and was wondering if the med would be likely to raise pulmonary pressure as well.
Started on 80mg, tried 160mg, back to 80mg and currently on Diovan 160mg/12.5mg HCT as of a week ago. My BP was spiking to 150/100 so my doctor decided to try adding the water tab.
Here in lies the issue. Over the course of the last year I started noticing that I was getting very tired, and especially dizzy throughout much of the day. Headaches have increased, stiff muscles, and a general feeling of sluggish.
What has worked real well for me is the Nitro patches which come in different strengths so you can try them until you get the optimum patch for your condition. Since they work from the outside they do not give stomach effects which was one of the bad things with Isorbide. The patch also lowers my BP quite well. The only side effect is headache but you can work around this by using the optimum patch dose or with aspirin/Tylenol.
5 about one week ago and takes three bp meds; atenonol 25 mg, diovan hct 325/12.5, amlodipine besylate 5mg, also started Ranexa 5 weeks ago 500mg twice a day (for angina). His bp now is 110/60 range but with the dizziness on Monday it was 84/52. Would the nitro patch cause the diziness? He is to wear the patch for 12 hours and take it off at bedtime. He has had 3 angioplasty's with a total of 7 stents in the last 7 months and he is also diabetic with good control.
This is not a headache related question, but does involve a situation in with my head. Several months ago, I experienced an episode of syncope and was brought to the ER and hit the back of my head on the floor from a sitting position. I remember not feeling like myself, but remain conscious throughout. I could smile, say my name, S.S. #, etc. I noted on my discharge docs that the diagnosis was syncope and giddiness. Blood tests and an EKG were done to rule out heart attack, stroke.
