343006 tn?1314446471 as I didnt have this happen before.. not even when on toprol or diovan. but did have worse side effects from them ! have you ever had anyone with these problems or symptoms , that is on verapamil or maxzide ??
Avatar f tn ll say 25 mg once a day is a very low dose and hope your get some feed back from others on side effects. It seems they vary greatly person to person. For me 50 mg a day has minimal side effects, but yes, it does cause some fatigue. I am also in permanent atrial fibrillation which may be the real issue for me. I had taken Toprolol when much younger and in normal sinus rhythm (then it too was 50mg SR) and it had no side effects that I can recall, I was still running for exercise.

Avatar m tn If you have question, discuss it with your pharmacist, and your doctor, esp. if you are having side effects of unusual symptoms.
700212 tn?1240760820 Very common with treatment. Not just the sun but the heat as well. As far as sun block is concerned, try and use a real block like with the Blue Lizard line of sun products uses. That way it works instantly. Fallene Cotz is another good one (check the internet if not local) as it contains only titanium and zinc, both blocks. But in addition to sun blocks you really should cover up with hats, shirts, etc, and ideally just stay in the shade.
Avatar f tn You may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, or tiredness as your body adjusts to the medication. You may also experience diarrhea, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, or cough. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: unusual thirst, weakness, confusion, fainting, fast heartbeat, decreased sexual ability.
406399 tn?1201884300 as the side effects from toprol and diovan are very harsh for me! I cant understand why a Doctor would go backwords and put me back on a medication that caused me problems before? seems strange to me ! and now that im on the stuff, im haveing all the bad effects again -shortness of breath at times, and dizziness and fatigue, massive headaches ! and cramping everywhere.. b.p dropped down but its not under control yet.. as it spikes..
Avatar m tn It is very difficult to treat but sometimes it goes away on its own after exposure to the sun. Creams like Elidel cream or Protropic can be used on these hypopigmented areas but they should be used only after consulting a dermatologist . If the symptoms still persist then you can talk to your dermatologist about laser-assisted chemabrasion(LACA).
1116801 tn?1292254540 With spring approaching, I’m curious about the effects of sun exposure while on traditional treatment. After 8 weeks of treatment and a harsh winter, I am already suffering from extremely dry skin but does SOC cause one to burn easier in the sun?
Avatar f tn My wife, Nanette, had liposomal doxorubicin or Caelyx for 6 months (equivalent to 6 treatments) and she had skin darkening. We noticed the change in her complexion midway through this regimen. She applies sun block lotion everytime she goes outside. Kindly watch out for PPE / hand and foot syndrome also, although Nanette didn't have this. This is one of the more popular side effects of this drug. I hope this drug works for you.
343006 tn?1314446471 I have been on verapmil and maxzide for just over 30days now , switched off of toprol xl and diovan (due to adverse side effects and massive problems) Im started getting alot of trapped gas and bloating belly conditions! no matter what I eat or drink -it happens? it does go down within 2 or 3 hours after. but sometimes I get the worse ever trapped gas! painfull goes right to my shoulder and upper back and chest ! pushing bloating feeling ?
Avatar n tn Not unbearable but bad enough to see a dermatologist who told me I am alergic to the sun - stay out of sun and wear sun block. I stay out of the sun. It is five years later. I went to a second dermatologist who took a biopsy of one of the itchy bumps that have become a new symptom. She told me I have a drug alergy and I should have my primary physician change my medications. I told her the only drug I take is lorazapam.
Avatar m tn However, these do not eliminate headaches completely, and some can even cause serious side effects. It is best that you see your doctor for proper management. Your medical history and direct clinical examination are important in evaluating the medicine suited for you. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I am pretty constipated sometimes even after as much water I drink. I have been reading alot on the diovan hct side effects and come to find out that all of my problems are from it. I am going to have to find a new bp medicine. I sincerely thank you for your time to reply.
Avatar m tn Facial rashes, night sweats and the closing of my throat. That is when I stopped using Bactrim. All other side effects are gone except for the closing of my throat that comes on and off, especially when I'm done eating. It's been going on for 2 weeks (since my last bactrim dose). It doesn't make my breathing or eating any difficult but is just very annoying. It stopped for 2 days and happened one late night, 2-3 hours after drinking alcohol.
Avatar m tn I am taking the generic of Diovan 160 mg. I was thinking of trying bystolic, but I have heard that it was expensive.
378273 tn?1262097621 I have now been on Metopropol almost a month. I do get depressed (I probably shouldn't have read up on the possible side effects) and get tired very early in the evening. By 8 p.m. I'm ready to hit the sack. Very annoying-- The running hasn't been affected too much; I'm slower, but not by much. However, I'm constantly hungry. Munching all day long so have gained about 5 lbs (even though I'm exercising as much as ever) Is anyone else really hungry on beta blockers?
1260320 tn?1270394906 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 f tn Chest pain is not a known side-effect of diovan/hctz. Given the fact that he had a recent bypass I would urge you to take him to the ER ASAP.
Avatar n tn Raised red area, itchy. Read that it may be due to sun exposure but it usually effects women, but then read it can be a symptom of HIV infection. Not sure of my exposure sexually. Doesnt seem to be getting much better but not worse. Doesn't seem to be spreading beyond my forearms and a bit on either side below my armpits. I never get rashes, so I am really worried this could be HIV related.
Avatar n tn Hello, I have gone through your question. SPF 15 is less for exposure to the UV radiations of the sun and it is not advisable to tan with such low spf because of the risk of skin malignancies. You can use tanning beds but they have their own side effects ( folliculitis, redness, rashes, skin malignancies). I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn If you had high cholesterol, heart disease you will have to stay on cholesterol meds for the rest of your life just like with the BP meds. Once you stop the cholesterol meds your cholesterol will go back where it was or even higher.
