amlodipine vs atenolol

Hello, Yes it is true that there have been many new drugs after atenolol but atenolol is still prescribed by many doctors as antihypertensives. Newer drugs belonging to the category of beta blockers have come up and these include betaxolol, carvedilol, propranolol, timolol and labetalol. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

So I was put on amlodipine 10mg and Propranolol 40mg on 1st July 2016. This helped lower my blood pressure to around 115/68. Only problem is that it makes me feel quite tired after little activity like walking. After complaining about this tiredness to the doctor yesterday, he changed my drugs to 100mg Losartan (1 tablet per day) and 25mg Atenolol (2 tablets per day).

t get up to grab some drugs cos of severe shortage of breath, what saved me was my wife rushing to the nearest drug store and buyin a ventolin inhaler, franol (ephedrine+theophyline) and prednisolone, i felt better immediately but i still feel the asthma lurking in the backgrounds, especially when the sneezing bouts start, i usually ward it off with ventolin inhaler, i know i shud probably be taking the tablets but that puts alot of stress on my heart since i have chest pains due to hbp with sig

I found infection in my tooth root after I filled it 3 months ago, I am on a strict diet now and walk 2 miles a day, my bp became 160/100 in this case, but after my dentist gave me antibiotic, last night my bp went 180/135 I was so afraid and took 25 mg of Atenolol then 5 mg of Amlodipine I found it 130/90 this morning I couldnt understand whether my hbp is temporary or permanent I was very healthy weeks ago, please some one give me an answer. My regards.

his doctor suggested to discontinue atenolol suddenly and adviced him captopril 50mg tds, amlodipine 5mg once daily.after 2days he had a hypertention crisis bp:210/130 ! what is your suggestion? shoulde he use atenolol again and cut it gradually? What about his new drugs?

im currently on atenolol 50mg in the morning 50mg at night for frequent pvcs..my main symptoms are just feel my heart pounding all day and night...i think the atenolol is causing me some side effects and i have and allergies and it might be making it worse and also want to start taking allergy shots but heard its not a good idea while on beta blockers. im looking for a list or names of a few calcium channel blockers that can also help my symptoms so i can talk to my dr about changing my meds..

I was disqualified from a job process due to this medical condition called left ventricular hypertrophy. I take benazepril & amlodipine besylate for high blood pressure,and for migraines atenolol. I didn't know they were also used for heart problems. Is this condition treatable or cureable?

Two medicated stents were later inserted. Presently, I am regularly taking Asprin, Clopedogrel, Rosuvastatin, Atenolol and Amlodipine. My blood pressure, except for once shooting up to 170/110, remains around 125/85. I am now fully active. How this happened ? Now, I have again started having low grade pain in the left wrist and forearm, without any corresponding pain in the upper arm or the chest. Can this be a Referred Angina Pain?

I am having the same conditions since I switched and stopped my atenolol (50 mg). I am curious did you get off the atenolol okay? My doctor took me off my atenolol a couple of days ago and prescribed a channel blocker due to my heart rate that was low (48 to 50). I am feeling the same symptoms as what you went through while off atenolol and also went to er. They did an EKG, blood work and did a chest X-ray and told me everything was fine.

I take atenolol .25mg and amlodipine 5mg every night around 7p.m. Though I don’t have issues, during night time my heart rate is as low as 49 or 50. My BP is around 100/55. Should I reduce my atenolol dosage to half of what I take now ie .12.5mg to increase heart rate as I feel heart rate of 49 is too low. During day time my heart rate rages between 55 and 62. Please advice.

s and on blood pressure meds since then. now am on AMLODIPINE BESYLATE 10 MG , ONE DAILY , ATENOLOL 100 MG. 2 TIMES DAILY, LISINOPRIL-HCTZ 20/12.5 MG 2 TIMES DAILY. am also a diabetic , this is under control. the last time i went to my doctor my blood pressure was 156/66 and my doctor was disappointed as was i. am overweight and she chewed me out for not exersising like i should and agree to this. since my last doctor visit i have started walking 30 min.

1) i am 34, m and hypertensive, i take 100mg of atenolol, 5mg amlodipine, 25mg captopril, 1/2 tab of moduretic daily then isordil for angina, i need to lose 10kg, smoke and drink moderately. I recently started having a weak erection and low energy for sex, my bp is usually 130-140/80-90. It goes higher if i drink and results in chest pain and arythmia which goes away after sometime. I tried stopping atenolol but developed a strange cough which lasted over a month.

1. by taking the same mg atenolol as you did metoprolol you doubled your dosage of effective beta blocker.

for about a week now i've noticed that i experience an acute loss or respiratory drive when i smoke, maybe just after a few drags or a few mins after i finsh smoking, first time it was very serious i had to get out of the car and force my self to breathe, later on i realised that the symptom is relieved by alcohol. and if i smoke and drink it doesn't happen, also it doesn't happen every time i smoke, just starts out of the blue. will like to know the cause and treatment.

My blood pressure has been controlled for years with typical readings around 118/70 using the Valsartan, Amlodipine 5mg, and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide 25mg). I have not made the change yet. 1. Why should I agree to experiment with reducing my primary blood pressure medication and what are the risks? His response was "let's see what happens". 2. How long should it take before I see changes (if any) in typical blood pressure readings?

Doc, 34 m, hypertensive heart dx, controlled by atenolol, amlodipine, amilo hydraxide, captopril and aspirin. Have been stable, but 24th dec. moderate drinking with friends, 25th bp rose to about 140/85, usually my bp is abt 130/80.

so i want to know if my ef has improved and my heart pumping better or i.m i risking further damage by exercising. dr tojd me lose wt. i am on atenolol lisinopril amlodipine and moduretic. 35 m smoke and drink occasionally.
