I had been taking 150 mg of avapro for 10 years for high blood pressure. I recently lost 25 pounds and was able to maintain my blood pressure on 75 mg. in fact with a home machine my blood pressure is consistently low. It never goes above 106/70 and most often is 90-97/70-75. Would it be safe to stop taking the medication to see if I can keep the pressure from getting high? Or would it be safer to cut the pill in half and if so, for how long?
Fourteen months ago the aneurism was measured at 5.2cm, when I was prescribed to go onto blood pressure medication and lipids medications to help reduce the pressure in the artery. Three months ago, I had further scans (echocardiograph) to be told that the aneurism had shrunk back to 4.8cm. Surely, as the aneurism really couldn't "shrink" on its own due to tissue damage, one of the tests taken 11 months apart must be wrong.
m not a doctor but my opinion from my experiences it may not be a major concern right now,but still a concern especially if it stays that high for long periods of time.so i would atleast try to get meds for it.
One day I ate some white rice, sugar suddenly fall to 8 mmol, then even a tiny piece of roti was dropping suddenly. Blood pressure increased, Took avapro, started eating more protein. But I did not get any medical support. Family doctor says, I do not know, hospital says go to family doctor. Family doctor did not give any specialist. However after 5 months, sugar settled between 8 mmol to 11 mmol without medicine. But I was eating less carb, mostly vegetable and rotein.
He said he could tell that based on the wall thickness I have had a history of high blood pressure, which is correct, since I was previously on a weak diuretic in my 30s by my GP.
My question is, how significant is the moderately high wall thickness of the LV to my overall health, given all other tests being normal?
Also, will the LV wall thickness abate. If so by how much?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
and could not get to supraventricular arrythmia because of loss of blood pressure.. I was in intensive care for a couple of days to keep blood pressure before doctor put me on norpace cr 150 twice a day.
I have been on it ever since and am now 71 years old. 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 have also noticed a decrease when I spent a week up north in Ely, but home in Minneapolis, they swell daily quite badly. I have high blood pressure, take three meds.( atenenol, avapro, monoxidil, and a statin) At least one med suggests that ankle swelling could result. An echocardigram awhile back suggested that my heart may be a bit sluggish as breath is expelled. I do not fatigue easily - people often comment on my activity level. I am trying to get used to a Cpap machine.
I take avapro for blood pressure, immovane for sleep and now to quell the anxiety. I have frequent ophthalmic migraines (all sparkly lights, no pain) and have a pain migraine every two weeks or so. I can't get anyone to help me and with every week I am that much less functioning. Oh, I've also gained 40 lbs in six months; mostly belly fat. Please!! Any thoughts? Suggestions? Home remedies while I wait to get a doc to take me seriously?
I am a Diabetic and on a lot of Medication, Novamix-Insilin,Avapro, Vytorin, Thyroxin,Zanidip, Nexium and Iron Tabs,Aspirin and gaviscon.I get so much painful itch in my whole body when I come out of shower, or I go out in the cold wind.
LV relaxation is impaired. LV filling pressure is elevated, mean PCWP is 15-20.mmHg. There is a anterior clear space consistent with a prominent fat pad. Estimated PA systolic pressure is 34mmHg assuming a mean RAP of 5mmHg. Estimated EF is >70%.
He did a sleep study and it was positive for sleep apnea but not sure if sleep apnea is the casue of the latest abnormal Echo. I think I am in some type of Heart Failure with my symptoms yet the BNP is normal and my EF is tooo normal.
ijust started taking pills for thriods (synthriod)and high blood presuer (avapro)about a mounth now. so just wandring if this can cause me to have lows like this. and would like to know what would happen if you go to low like a coma and no one is around to help a person to get out of a low thats realy bad. thankyou.
m on BP medication (avapro 150mg). My BP is usually in check running around 118/70. No family history of heart disease (except Dad passed away from cardiomyapthy, was determined to be a non-genetic virus that attacked his heart).
I'm 30 years old, 5'11 195 lbs. I try to eat pretty healthy, lots of fruits and veggies. Exercise a few times a week. I've had the following tests done.
I run low normally but my readings the past two days have been pretty low. 95/49, 85/50, 94/49, 89/53, etc. High blood pressure is the one that gets alarm bells, but I am wondering if these readings are related to the physical feeling I'm having? I don't feel anxious, my mind feels so calm and clear. I really feel great (it really is a pay off to get off the drugs and realize you weren't feeling as good as you thought you were!) except for this bothersome feeling.
I know in early pregnancy you blood pressure can be lower and as it goes on you blood pressure will get higher. With that said that is low and most people do not run that low. Do you know what your normal is? You should get that checked out because that can cause people to get lightheaded and dizzy. Hope this helps.
