Avatar m tn If you can measure the bile acids under irbesartan treatment, it would be useful to measure them before taking the pill and then again two hours after, If there is no increase after, then it means that the ntcp blockage is simply too weak in vivo even at max blood concentrations. If the bile acids are not elevated before the drug intake, then it would mean that the effect is not lasting long enough since the blood levels fall too quickly.
Avatar n tn m currently taking Irbesartan every morning and is now controlled well. I enjoy traveling in hot conditions, some days can be up to 39 degrees. Can my blood pressure medication stand such heat if I was to say just put it in my wallet? I'm always traveling to different places and don't always have access to a fridge or ice to take on hand. If not, are there any other heat resistance BP medication i can try?

Avatar n tn Can you please advise if I am taking high blood pressure medication (irbesartan) and Altorvastatin for high cholesteron and I am also taking Tamoxafin for breast cancer (about to come off this drug), is it adviseable to take Leptin Cocoa for health weight loss or would this affect the medications?
Avatar m tn Call your pharmacist or your doctor and ask if this is a known side effect of the med you're on. Ask if stopping has any risks, and if not, it's a good idea to stop and see if that solves your problem. Sometimes you have to taper off some meds but unless your BP is so high you're about to drop dead from it, most BP problems depending on your age and how long the problem has existed can be fixed by changing diet and lifestyle.
Avatar n tn put me on lowest dose of Losartan and I got joint pain in my thumbs and then in a knee so I weaned myself off but my BP was very high (systolic) during visit. He puts me on Irbesartan, SAME class of drug, then goes on VACATION. It's the smallest dose and I took a corner of a pill yesterday, no pill today, BP is fine, I'm in PAIN. My thumbs hurt, my right foot and left knee, I don't feel well and then I read that all of this are side effects of this drug.
Avatar f tn About 15 years ago, my sciatic nerve bothered me so much that I could not walk almost at all. After six weeks of chiropractry, either "tincture of time" or the treatment seemed to cure me. I get occasional flairups and I have a sore spot, but nothing serious. Two weeks ago, the other side hurt after running. It was hurting in the morning and then got better. Now, the pain is pretty much gone, but my legs are heavy and tingling somewhat below the knee.
Avatar m tn I am a male 70 years of age. I have been on 150mg Irbesartan and 5mg Amlodipine daily since October 2010. This controlled by BP within acceptable limits. Since late April, however, the systolic has risen to an average of around 150. My doctor wants me to add a beta blocker to the other medications. Since last October my heart rate was averaging below 60. Since late April it is averaging around 70.
Avatar n tn my friend just started taking trandolapril 1mg and Irbesartan its only been a couple days but she feels awful dizzy, heart palpatations, head ache and her blood pressure is still really high 190/110 should she just stick it out?
Avatar f tn Hi, My doctor has diagnosed a mild calcification of the aortic valve and mild to moderate aortic regurgitation. I also have mild hypertension which is controlled with Irbesartan. I'm 50 and don't seem to have any symptoms but what can I expect and what can I do to improve my condition.
Avatar m tn less than 50 IU/ml by Amplicore method) was performed. The EVR rate was 65.9% in the group receiving ezetimibe, which was significantly higher (p=0.002) compared to 45.2% in the group not receiving ezetimibe. In multivariate analysis, concomitant administration of ezetimibe was selected as a factor contributing to EVR (odds ratio: 2.993, p=0.004). The cumulative HCV RNA negativity rate was also significantly higher in the group receiving ezetimibe (p=0.0035).
Avatar m tn Hello all, I have a quick question for you, I'll try to be brief. My backstory is as follows: Diagnosed with mild LVH and mild HBP which is under control with Irbesartan 75mg. I'm 23 years old, and I exercise and I'm losing weight currently. I try to follow a low sodium diet. My BP is controlled now. I also have stage 1 diastolic dysfunction due to the HBP and my aortic root is dilated mildly. Event monitor patch, stress test and ekgs normal.
Avatar n tn Personally, I take valsartan, but my friends have experienced similar success (or better) with candesartan, telmisartan, losartan (although this drug is surmountable and thus theoretically not the best one to take), irbesartan, and, for ACE inhibitors, perindopril.
492329 tn?1290883385 Yet, the diuretic is not controlling the BP in her case, so maybe she should ask if she can stop taking it - to get the irbesartan in Avilide alone, with the HCTZ. That's what I'd do. Shae, do you eat lots of salt? If not, the HCTZ seems of no benefit to you and is possibly the thing that's causing the problems. (And btw, you do need extra potassium when on a thiazide diuretic.
Avatar n tn The medication prescribed to me is Avapro HCT 150mg/12.5mg (Irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide) taken once daily (1 tablet) mainly to help ensure the blood pressure remains under 140 systolic, which is believed to help reduce the pressure on the aorta and root. I am booked in for a second opinion with another cardiologist next week mainly to re-assure myself and my wife (and kids) that things are chugging along okay.
Avatar n tn THIS is the problem with most cardiologists today. They routinely prescribe beta blockers for patients with aortic root dilatation, even though the most recent studies have shown that they DO NOT HELP YOU. Beta blockers are prescribed because they make sense on paper, but in practice, they are absolutely useless. These doctors are also grossly behind the times. I don't know whether they are ignorant of the latest, big-news breakthroughs or just unwilling to try them.
7944214 tn?1496616726 No your not the only one. Many find ALA (alpha-lopaic acid) helps and many find having BG near normal 65 - 140 (USA) helps too.
336017 tn?1263579257 Some other ARBs and ACE inhibitors may work less effectively or not at all (some ARBs I know to be good - besides telmisartan - are valsartan, irbesartan, candesartan. Most of them are good EXCEPT for losartan, which is a surmountable antagonist and, theoretically, would lose its effect over time). Next fact: you need to take a high dose.
1584268 tn?1302072803 They just occured I assume when I changed from Atenelol to Aprovel. The cardiologist doesnt think so. So for me it is not hard to live with it at all since I dont feel them. The only problem I have is that the aneasth. is not willing to sedate me for my "needed" procedure. I had holter test and treadmill test, echo2D and my cardiologist gave clearance for the procedure. It is the aneasth. who does not want to go ahead because of my frequent PVC's. What to do?
Avatar n tn 1 mm/yr, though some do grow rapidly which is why they need to be monitored. Drug therapy also seems to be able to slow the growth (beta blockers, irbesartan, losartan). The fact that the arch and the thoracic aorta aren't involved means that should surgery become necessary, it will be considerably less complex and risky. I had surgery in 2004 at age 46 for a 5.0 cm aneurysm of the ascending aorta and today I lead a totally normal, active life.
Avatar m tn Sometimes I feel fatigued I take medication for controlling high blood pressure (Irbesartan 75, I took Indephamide SR for several months with the advice of one cardiologist and later I stopped by the advice of another cardiologist) Anger and other emotional activities trigger slight dizziness and uneasy feeling. My personality type is A. Haven’t ever experienced syncope or unconsciousness episodes. Mg, Na, K, Ca and HCO3 electrolytes are quite normal. Even the thyroid test is quite normal.
