Avatar n tn I am 75. I take 75 mg of atenolol and 40 mg of benazepril hcl every day. I had an echo stress test (speed increases every two minutes) and at 6 minutes my blood pressure starting falling so the test was stopped and the doctor said sometimes with blood pressure medicine that happens. He said my heart was fine. I had a by-pass 12 years ago. So do I have to worry?
Avatar m tn Blacking out and dizziness can be caused by a too low blood pressure or heart rate, or both. You say you are on BP medication, what is you resting BP? If it is real low, not likely given you normally have high BP, the medication may be too strong a dose or type. BP medication may also lower you pulse. I have had problems in the past adjusting to high dose beta blocker, e.g., 100 mg of Metoprolol twice a day. In the beginning by BP would go down in the range of 80/65, best I can recall.
Avatar m tn I am having some severe side effects concerning short term memory loss, irritability, and fatigue. I have taken Ibuprofen 800mg, nortriptyline HCL 25mg, promethazine 25mg, acetaminophen COD#3, cycmbalta 30mg, pamelor 25mg, cyclobenzarrine 10mg, hydrocodone 500mg, methycprednisolone 4mg, tramadol HCL 50 mg, and viagra 100mg. My question is will any of the medications i was subscribed or taken in combination have symptons of severe memory loss?
Avatar m tn Plavix is an unusual medication in dogs. Are you aware of why your vet prescribed this? If not, please ask. If it is for glomerular disease, then it is not the best medication. Studies suggest plain aspirin is actually slightly safer. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker and typically given for blood pressure or another circulatory condition. It is also used to assist kidney failure, by improving blood flow.
Avatar f tn I take 15mg 2x a day. I am going to stop taking my medication. What is the best weaning schedule?
Avatar f tn The Benazepril will lower blood pressure, so if your dog does not have high blood pressure - the medication could cause blood pressure to fall dangerously low. With cautious low-dosing and very regular blood pressure monitoring, it can be advantageous. However, if there isn't at least weekly checks on blood pressure, then it's a dangerous form of treatment for a dog that has normal blood pressure. All drugs, not just Benazepril, cause issues for the kidneys. Why?
Avatar m tn While living in the US I was using Benazepril 40 mg, but now I'm living in Ecuador and that med is not available here not as lotensin on benazepril. What can I sustitute it with?
Avatar f tn I did have unprotected sex with a female in October. I self-medicated myself with ciperfloxacin hcl which right away took the swelling away in my groins and testicles. I did go see an urologist after taking ciperfloxacin hcl. The urologist didn't think I had an std plus my urine was tested for an infection and came up clean. I was sent to have an ultra-sound done on my testicles. They came up fine. Can anyone give me their input on what i could have had? Could this have been a std?
Avatar n tn I was on benazapril for hbp for quite a while, developed a slight dry scratchy cough my doctor described as benazepril cough. He changed me to valsartan last week and thats where the real fun began :-( 3 days on valsartan and I was having horrible side effects of dizziness, rapid heart rate, general feeling of crappiness, even slight shortness of breath with the slightest exertion None of which I experienced with the benazepril.

Avatar n tn Apple cider vinegar is a way to cleanse the body and balance acid and alkaline, but it doesn't increase stomach acid on a permanent basis. Betaine HCL is used for gallstones, not for stomach acidity, since it doesn't do that either. The reason is that neither stays in the stomach, so it can't permanently alter the acid/alkaline balance. The caution about HCL is more about using pure HCL food grade.
Avatar m tn The doctor still saw the need to put me on another medication, so now im taking Benazepril and Amlodipine. And at times checking my BP myself it has been down to like 127/80. Im only 24 and thats what worries me. I have a family history of High Blood Pressue big time. My Grandad and Dad both had it. My Dads was so high, at the time they couldnt even maintain it. Im also overweight. During my first visit to the doc I weighed about 250 at 6 feet tall.
Avatar n tn I hav taken Effexor Hcl 150 mg generic called Venlafaxine HCL ER Capsules 150mg, for years. A new doc wrote for the same medication in tablet form by mistake instead of the caps. Will it work the same for me?
Avatar f tn I have also been on Paroxetine HCL 40 mg one tablet a day for a long time. I also take bupropion hcl xl 300 one tablet a day. I still have a short temper and major stress headaches. But probably the worst part, my marriage is greatly affected because I don't want to leave the house. I don't even care if I take a shower or eat.
Avatar f tn Can I take Hydroxyzine Pamoate (Daily) and Paroxetine HCl Oral (for attacks), with Acetaminophen plus caffeine (for headaches/energy booster), together without having any adverse reactions? I've found that theophylline reacts negatively with caffeine, and MANY websites group hydroxyzine with theophylline. What is the difference between theophylline and hydroxyzine? Thank you!
Avatar m tn Everyone is different so you might need a different medication. It also takes a long time for some medications to work properly. Some different anti-depressants work better on OCD. Good Luck!
Avatar f tn You can also try good old melatonin or homeopathic remedies like Calm's Forte. If they work, cuts down on the medication. If they don't, you can still try the medication.

Oxycodone is usually prescribed either to relieve moderate to severe pain for a short period of time, such as post surgical pain, or it is prescribed as a breakthrough pain medication for chronic pain sufferers who are also on an extended release medication, such as Oxycontin.
Avatar f tn I'm not burping up food but sometimes have such a dry mouth from my medication it makes me gag. Likely unrelated, but I'm wondering if I have a hiatal hernia. I'm overweight and had a baby 5 years ago. Since then I occasionally get this gas where I have to force it out with a gag or like it gets trapped in my throat. I'm a medical student but don't know enough to understand just enough to have medical schoolitis...
