Avatar n tn Hi. I have had high blood pressure for years. Like really high -- 190+over 90 very often. So I'm working on taking medication but I have a question about amlodipine. I start with Lisinopril 40mg, but my doctor added amlodipine. It helps but my ankles and legs swell up really bad. Thoughts or suggestions would be helpful. thanks.
Avatar f tn Is there any reasons to prefer or take losartan above olmesartan or the olmesartan above losartan. Person taking these is african, 57 years, female and oh, my mother.
Avatar m tn Next morning i checked my blood pressure after taking regular medication (olmesartan 20), it showed 147/94 on right hand and 130/80 left hand, immediately i took inderal 20 to calm down. After a while i checked it was 151/101, i became extremely panicky and rushed to local medical centre. I explained to the doc all the happenings and how my readings were always in the desired range.
2009161 tn?1327915695 My doctor prescribed me to have olmesartan 20 mg per day, however as it is an ARB (Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker), I have been having it since 3 years, I have a strange feeling in the morning of pain in chest and goes away in seconds. Please advice if ACE inhibitors at the age of 35 is good for me?
Avatar m tn OK, so I recently developed a cough that's dry, and feels bronchial in nature. I think it might be related to a new medication I started (olmesartan); however, I'm more interested in the pain that I get in my arm. I've had it in the past when I had similar coughs. It's a very specific, sharp pain that occurs only in the left arm above the elbow. It's positioned medially along the bicep near the distal biceps tendon almost to where the triceps is.
14250615 tn?1436461895 s normal, perhaps only give half of the prescribed BP medication (Olmesartan ). so only 10mg. If his BP is a little high, give the 20mg. BP meds are going to have different effects with different people on different days. However, if he ups his fluid intake, his BP will rise.
2009161 tn?1327915695 I guess ur doctor would prescribe medication for the systolic BP. And u will be alright...getting a stroke at 22.....Forget it..Never.. And hey there are a set of other medicines like Amlodipine Bisylate, Olmesartan Medoxomil tablets which are to be taken from a doctor's prescription or Advice. So these are also BP tablets which are effective compared to Losartan. I would suggest you to go for a Doctor's advice though.
Avatar m tn If you are not comfortable with the amount of medication you are on- bring it up to your doctor. Some doctors are willing to listen to concerns about the number of medications, others blow you off- but it's worth mentioning. If you feel like they are not listening, get a second opinion. It doesn't hurt to go see another doctor to see what they have to say.
Avatar m tn s not uncommon to have dizziness, you may want to as your doctor to try another. I prefer Angiotensin II antagonist drugs such as Olmesartan. They have a completely different mechanism and usually have fewer side effects. Don;t give up, your doctor can find one that works well for you with minimal side effects.
Avatar f tn white male in generally good health, maybe 5 or 10 lbs overweight, with well-controlled hypertension, no family history of bad diseases. Ordinarily, I take benicar (medoximil olmesartan) 20 mg to control my BP, which is normally in the range of 110--130 / 70--80. I measure my BP at home using an Omron Intellisense meter. I do a brisk 2.5 mile walk several times a week, and I also go to the gym, usually 1x or 2x/week.
Avatar f tn Well, I sure appreciate your thoughts!!! I've been posting on several different forums to see if anyone is dealing with something similar - and reading a ton more articles and forums - and nothing so far. For the first 8 or so months, everyone thought it had to be pheochromocytoma (an adrenal tumor) because every single symptom fit that diagnosis, but none of my tests show any of the abnormalities that would be there if I actually had an adrenal tumor.
18814286 tn?1468326748 Well firstly I would be very reluctant to stop the Olmesartan. Its been prescribed for good reason by your doctor. Well BP checks multiple times a day is far too much. You want to stop this routine? Best thing to do is take it like one day at a time. Except here its one hour at a time. Consciously say to yourself, each time you get the urge to check your BP, Ah sure i will check it in an hour. Just put off the moment, then each day go up an hour.
Avatar m tn LABETHOLOL 200MG, AMLODIPINE, THAZIDE, OLMESARTAN, SPIRONALDACTONE 50 M. ATORVASTATIN 40MG. WAS DOING OK, BUT LATELY HAVE DIFFICULTY ON EXERTION. DULL ACHE FEELING STARS IN BACK, DOWN BOTH ARMS, TOP OF CHEST AND ACHE IN NECK/JAW AFTER CONTINUING TO WALK. i KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE ANGINA, BUT HAD A ANGIO A YEAR AGO AND WAS OK REGARDING BLOCKAGES VALVES ETC. AT THE TIME MY EF WAS BAD 15%, BUT WITH THE BP UNDER CONTROL IT CAME BACK TO 40%.
Avatar f tn I'm so glad to know that based on your liver treatment experience, BP can and do go down afterwards. I told my husband to ask his MD to prescribe him anti-hypertensive meds. He's now on ACE inhibitors: Olmesartan 20 mg, once daily... I'm really praying that he will get even better BP readings after his treatment for his Hep C...
Avatar m tn The Treatment Patients on the Marshall Protocol take a medication called olmesartan (called Benicar in the United States), which is able to bind and activate the VDR by pushing 25-D and bacterial proteins out of the receptor. Patients also lower levels of 25-D in the body by avoiding the kinds of vitamin D present in various foods. These measures renew the body’s ability to turn on the innate immune system and produce the anti microbial peptides.
