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?
Docs have done many blood tests and say I have mild Diabetes and have me on Metamorphin I believe it is . It is very frustrating but sometimes I drink fluids until I am ready to burst. I am on Avalide for high BP but have talked to others with diabetes ( some on insulin ) and on BP meds and they drink nowhere near whay I do or feel thirsty all the time. My body weight can fluctuate as much as 10 lbs during the week ( daily 3-5 max ) .
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.
Hello, I’ve had high blood pressure since I’ve been a teen quite stable at 160/80 I’m now 27 years old and have been on medication for 2 years now… I started with avopro 150mg I went down to about 145/70, then they changed my medication to avalide 300/12.
ve seen no blood. I am a 55y/o male.
I’m 58 yrs old, 5 ft 10 in and 200 lbs. I’ve been taking Avalide 150/12.5 for pre-hypertension for 8 months. I exercise six times per week and have done so for years; weights twice each week and spinning/bike four times. Any thoughts, input would be appreciated.
put me on Avalide and I guess I just need to know, if I go to the gym and lift 300lbs on the bench, am I going to have a stroke? Heart attack? Am I crazy for continuing my regular weight lifting routine?
Confused and Worried!

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....

The first considerations with AFIb is the prevention of clots, a simple aspirin a day (with a meal is best) is a big help here, and controlling HR, keep it from going too high. Here a beta blocker is usually used (a prescription drug).
Ia your kidney function normal? Was you bradycardia and isolated event. Did you have any symptoms? Do you reside at that home all of the time. If you didnt have symptoms and that was an isolated event, your physician may lean towards continuing you on atenolol. It really is the gold standard for what he is trying to accomplish which is to protect your "moderately concentrically hypertrophied" ventricle from increasing in size from over work.
s supposed to, and the goes down the front of my pants.I am taking high blood pressure medication - Avalide. Also I am taking vytorin , Foradil, and spirvia.

Again , thanks for your help. melg007 Ps Before the sugery I was taking uroxatrol, but I'm not taking it now.
And my dad just started taking atenolol and avalide around the time he noticed this stuff on his hands. So his doctor told him to see if being off of that for a month or so would help. and it did for awhile and now its back and new patches are starting on his hand! so if you have any other advice i would love to hear it? or suggest anything? thank you!!

My spouse has a mix of medical problems which all make one another worse... makes it hard to choose where to post, but major depression is his main diagnosis so I'll post here.
He also has anxiety, high BP, an ulcer & sleep apnea (uses a CPAP).
He takes plenty of meds (sadly I don't have the exact dosage here, just know it's on the low side) : Cipralex (like 5mg or 10mg once a day), Wellbutrin and Ativan...
Your 12 week negative test was fully conclusive and proves you did not get HIV from your exposure. You didn't need any further testing, and do not need to test again now.
The values on the test are irrelevant, they will always fluctuate. As long as they remain below the cut off for a positive test (usually 1.0), it is a negative result.
Symptoms are a terribly poor indicator to gauge HIV infection because they are very inconsistent.
I think im experiencing ARS its 26 days to day and the symptoms im having are: lack of sleep, extremely fatigued, jaw pain, headaches, sweaty, dry eyes, and a ucler top of mouth. My exposure was rubbing genitals with a girl altough she has her underwear on i still think i got infected by her through rubbing the head of penis really hard of her vagina.
