1346429 tn?1303874854 The aldomet is to lower my blood pressure, I was taking Diovan before I got pregnant, but the switched my medication because Diovan kills the fetus or causes serious birth defects.
Avatar f tn I hope Ryan is reading this.Anyone feel free to answer.I had some high blood pressure before I started the Klonopin.I have been taking Klonoping for 1 yr,2mg a day.Mainly for panic,and anxiety.I am a 43 yr old female,and seem to have inherited the high blood pressure.I thought the Klonopin would help with the blood pressure,but it doesen't seem to.I would like to know the best blood pressure med,without the side effects.Like weight gain.Maybe something that has a diuretic as well.
Avatar f tn ) Some symptoms you are experiencing could be med/ blood pressure related. I hope others post on this since I do not have trouble with blood pressure. Use the reference above as information on your med.
406399 tn?1201884300 More options to treat high blood pressure are important because one in four Americans has high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases your risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, heart failure and death. Tekturna is known as a renin inhibitor. Renin is an enzyme produced by your kidneys that starts a cascade of chemical steps that increases blood pressure. Tekturna works by reducing the ability of renin to begin this process.
Avatar n tn metoprolol 100mg. With this my blood pressure averaged 130-140 over 80-90. Now all of a sudden my blood pressure was down to 85-90/50 with a pulse of 50'ish, i was dizzy and felt weak. I dropped my diovan to 160 and dilitiazem to 120, but my pressure is still running about 95/55 w/a 60 pulse. I feel my blood pulsing? thru my body, and am sweaty. Whats up???
Avatar n tn s your aortic or mitral valve or both then yes, they will need replacing. What is co-diovan? a blood pressure med?
514523 tn?1215832667 m not sure how the Toprol will react with the Diovan, but you may see some overlap and your blood pressure med may need adjusted. Did the doctor discuss the effect of taking both drugs? I looked in a drug reference manual, and it doesn't say you can't take them both, but I understand your concern. As Stella said, your blood pressure problem may resolve itself once you start taking a thyroid med like Methimazole.
Avatar f tn This was very unexpected, but I guess the best surprises are! I have been taking Diovan (blood pressure med) up until this point and just read that it should not be taken when pregnant. I am about 6 weeks along. What effect will this have on my baby up to this point? This has me very worried!
Avatar f tn I can walk a mile but have to rest as I still desaturate on 6L O2. Recently started Symbicort inhaler and systemic blood pressure went up 180/108 and was wondering if the med would be likely to raise pulmonary pressure as well. Doctor added HCT to already prescribed Diovan which seems to be working but am on low dose of Symbicort and may have to increase it.
529295 tn?1212772180 My husband is suffering with uncontrolled high blood pressure. He is 54 years old and in excellent physcial condition. He recently went to the hospital because he was having chest pains and pain in his left arm. EKG show satisfactory and took a stress test which showed no ischemia. He was released from the hospital and despite the emergency room test his BP continues to be erratic and uncontrolled with numbers like 161/95 after taking 4 pills.
Avatar f tn my dad had a triple bypass last apr 21. last saturday, jul 4/2009 he started on diovan 160/12.5 (from corvesy+) and since Sat he's been experiencing chest pains that is not going away. is this a side effect? is he allergic to the this new med he's taking or is this angina? should he get himself to an ER?
Avatar n tn Thanks, birdie0907, for your input. The "2 day plan" was my invention. I guess I just thought that since I had been on Celexa for such a brief period of time, I would not need a long tapering off. What do I know!!! I hope within a few days, my symptoms will be completely gone. I know that yesterday the dizziness was not as prevalent as it had been.
10483820 tn?1410466172 Currently maxed out on Diovan and Toprol. Experiencing from 170/79 to 192/90 readings in mornings. My PCP has added Imdur: 2/ 30mg @ night with 320 mg Diovan; and 1/ 30mg Imdur with 200mg Toprol in the morning. I have a 45 year history of valvular heart desease having had 4 open heart surgeries starting at age 28. Resulting in 2 mechanical valves and a pacemaker. Believe me, I am not complaining and feel pretty good.
Avatar f tn I also am plagued with severe anxiety, and when my pressure was up my anxiety kicked in that only INCREASED my blood pressure..I began to take a very small amount of xanax before bedtime and that seemed to take the edge off of the elevated morning pressures. Then the miracle happened. Since the beta blocker only decreased my HR, and did not take care of my elevated B/P, I was given another B/P med to try.
1260320 tn?1270394906 Benicar keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Benicar HCT has a diuretic included as well. I have been fortunate, Benicar has worked from the first day I took it and works well still today. My 90 day average BP is 108/67 down from 135/85 when I started. I have had no side effects as well, the best of both worlds!
Avatar m tn Change your doctor and ask for a diuretic, they are about the safest to reduce blood pressure, it will make you pee a lot but it will reduce the pressure almost immediately. Finally if you are taking Osteo-bi-flex or any other over the counter joint medicine stop immediately - read all the new warnings on the back. I stopped seeing my doctor, all she did was frighten me to death. I bought a B.P machine and kept a chart taking my B.P.
Avatar f tn what will happen if I quit taking my blood pressure medication? (Toprol 100 mg) I've been on it for 3 years.
Avatar f tn When my systolic blood pressure goes to over 200, should I go to the hospital. I take 40 mg. of Lisinopril twice per day; Diovan 320mg - twice per day and Clonidine HCL 0.2 mg at bedtime. My Nephrologist wants me to take the Clonidine in the mornings also, but I cannot function - I am too dizzy and weak. I have had a stent placed in the artery leading to my left kidney and my pressure has gotten higher.
Avatar m tn I am taking 160 mg Diovan for high blood pressure, as well as 20 mg Levostatin for high cholesterol. I believe that I have ed caused by the Diovan. Is it safe to take ed drugs as well?
Avatar m tn Hello, I just started on HBP medication. I was about 156/92 about 1 week ago. Today I am at 110/69. I am losing weight and eating better than I did 3 months ago. 3 months ago I was at 230lbs, and I would always get these pains in my chest and my heart would beat fast. Current weight 207lbs. Cardiologist said I have too many extra beats and put me on Atenolol on Tuesday. But he doesn't know about my history of HBP from my family doctor. My BP had always been high since last year.
Avatar n tn I've been using anti-hypertensives for ten years now starting with Lotensen and then switching to Diovan HCT then to hydroclorothyazide for a year or two then back to Diovan HCT. I am about 20 kgs overweight. I walk every day and when in a good routine 8 kms a day, up and down hills through fields etc.
Avatar m tn This can be caused by your heart pausing suddenly for a long moment, plaques in your carotid arteries, or a sudden drop in blood pressure for some other reason...Syncope can occur with Diovan, but it is usually because of the patient getting up too fast and their blood pressure was unable to compensate for the sudden position change...
378273 tn?1262097621 I am 73 and take Warfarin for atrial fibrillation. I also had a hip fracture nine months ago. I also take a blood pressure medication, Diovan, and Metopropolol 25 mg. Would any of these drugs cause the elevation in liver enzymes?
Avatar m tn s why your blood pressure is lower after you exercise, the blood is still in these large muscles causing pressure to be lower. Also, your dizziness is most likely due to the lack of a cool down period. When you stop exercising suddenly, it will cause your blood pressure to drop, like when you get up too quickly. You need to gradually lower the demand on your heart by doing some kind of cool down exercise like walking or light stretching. Try it, your dizziness will most likely go away.
