5mg this changed nothing… now I have started to take norvasc 5mg on top of avalide my blood pressure has changed a little but mostly in my diastolic number on avg now 145-135/60-50… is this good that my diastolic keep going down with the medication however my top number doesn’t seem to go down very much? I also get the feeling that my doctor doesn’t seem 2 care much.. since its been two years now.. and its still not right??
Recently I was given biaxin by my family doctor not aware of the possible interaction and I began to retain after only two of them. Since then I have not been able to get my blood pressure under control again. I was on avalide, toprol xl, procardia xl along with the norpace and had to take potassium because it would go too low for the norpace. I have not been able to take avalide since the episode and am now on Avapro which works bettermost of the time than using avalide.

ve been on Lopressor for years to keep my heart rate down and Avalide for blood pressure. Then in November, my arrthymia worsen. So after about 6 weeks of playing with my Lopressor dosage, my doctor cut the lopressor and put me on Cardizem which is a calcium channel blocker like verapamil. My heart rate became much worse...very rapid like around 120-140....after 3 days of this, I begged to get back on Lopressor so we did and it's back to how it was ...no better no worse....
NO YOUR NOT!!!!
More than likely the reason for your high blood pressure is due to the alcohol, and stress that you been under for the last 2 years. It's hard I know to realize what is coming first, the alcohol or the stress.
Go back to your Dr's and explain (if you can) what is going on - they are here to help us. As for your panic attacks, do they come on after or before your drinking?
Intense exercise, such as strength training, weight lifting etc can cause a dramatic increase in blood pressure at the time of training - is the Avalide for BP? And by coatose, do you mean really spaced out, sleepy? I take Coversil and Toprol, but they are to slow the heart rate, and block the affect of hormones on it (like adrenalin). I feel really tired on them, and more dizzy (than when sedentary) if I try to exercise, but dont have the same symptoms as you described, so am just curious...
My daughter's (age 11) has blood pressure of 110/54. She as lively as ever. If the blood pressure drops to in the 40's then it may be getting low. The 145 is actually high. My husband has high blood pressure, so we all take our blood pressure a lot.
The benefits of BP meds could outweigh any risks of high blood pressure. I know that I will have to take BP meds when im pregnant. You should really consult your physician to see if this applies in your case. Aldomet is a BP med that is considered safe in pregnancy. I was on BP meds when I miscarried but had nothing to do with it. BP can be a serious problem in pregnancy and should not be ignored.
Some medications are much stronger than others, and low blood pressure is much more dangerous, in my opinion, than short term high blood pressure. Low blood pressure will cause you to pass out. I know that from experience, with some bad results.
None of us are doctors here, but it usually takes years for high blood pressure to cause problems with your blood vessels. I'd ask your doctor to start with low doses blood pressure medications and work up.
The last two times I have been to see my midwife, my blood pressure has been quite high. First time it was 146/98 and the second visit it was 152/96. I purchased a monitor to track my bp at home. The first three readings have been 123/70, 121/70, and 125/75. I have a lot of anxiety about going to the doctor and can feel my heart racing. It starts as soon as I get into the building.I try to calm myself but it doesn't help.
No significant health problems other than mild hypertension treated with Avalide. My potassium was low (I think due to the HCTZ in the Avalide). I don't drink, smoke or take any recreational drugs. I saw a neurologist, who says the MRI is normal, EEG is not (temporal lobe irregularities). He's on vacation...I'm traveling alot and can't see him for another 2 weeks. Is this a problem I need to see someone about before then?
