tekturna

406399 tn?1201884300 If you are taking high blood pressure medications and are having trouble controlling your high blood pressure, Tekturna might be an option for you. Studies have shown Tekturna is able to reduce blood pressure more when used with other classes of blood pressure medications such as diuretics, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs).
Avatar n tn t smoke, do exercise, am thin). My doctor put me on a diuretic, Tekturna and Bystolic, and within a week I had completely lost my sense of taste! Anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it's a side effect that will wear off if I just stick it out. The combination seems to be working well to lower my bp and hr but I'm losing weight (a bad thing) and really, really miss food!
483733 tn?1326798446 I was on a med called Azor (also Norvasc) and those pills are known to have that affect. So I switched to a new pill called Tekturna, and it is working well for me. I take it at night, and it seems to minimize the swelling during the day. Be vigilant... it would be terrible for you to be dealing with so many issues that you don't fully understand. The more you learn, the more you can help yourself. I'm still having swelling, but I don't think it's related to the hyst.
5373382 tn?1369738172 With your 50 eGFR, they will monitor that for three months, yes? It it remains low, that is indicative of kidneys not working properly. I understand your concern. What does your doctor say about this. I would stay hydrated during this time. When caught early, these things can be improved! Stay on top of this. Blood pressure okay? Diabetes checked? These are big ones to make sure are under control for the kidneys. Let me know any update.

7831604 tn?1399711007 I went to hospital and they thought it was my kidneys, they did a urine test and blood tests looking for infections because the pain came on so suddenly it woke me from my sleep and I was in tears! It turns out it was just a muscle, thank goodness!
Avatar f tn I'm 34 weeks and my kidneys are just killing me. I went to the bath room this morning and I had to pee so bad but it was like I was blocked off. I had a uti already with this pregnancy and I don't think that's what it is. The doc confirmed that I had got rid of it. Does anyone possibly know why my kidneys could be hurting so bad.
Avatar f tn I'm nearly 9 weeks pregnant and in pain with my kidneys is this normal?
Avatar f tn So I know what the pain feels like, and with my first pregnancy I got one bad kidney infection that I actually thought was me going into labor, until I got to the hospital and found out it was my kidneys. This pregnancy my kidney seems to always feel swollen. Especially once I start feeling like I have to pee. I can hardly get comfortable laying down because of it. I've never had kidney stones and would hope to not ever get them.

Avatar f tn Hello there, Medullary sponge kidney is a condition in which cysts develop in the urine collecting ducts and tubules of one or both kidneys. The exact cause is not known. The common symptoms are pain in the back, haematuria, excessive amount of calcium in the urine. The complications are kidney stones, infection and kidney failure. Treatment is usually symptomatic. It is best to consult an urologist and get your doubts clarified. Do keep me posted with more queries. Best wishes and regards!
Avatar n tn Lisinpril can cause a chronic cough and you should stop this medication to see how the cough changes. It may be replaced with valsartan or candesartan which do not usually cause this side effect. The verapamil usually does not cause this side effect. This may not be related to your medications, and chronic cough or ' bronchial asthma' may actually be cardiac in nature ( e.g. CHF). Make sure your physician takes this other consideration into account.
Avatar n tn s case the CT angiogram may also be considered risky because of kidney problems. His kidneys may not be able to deal with the dye used for CT angiogram. I am not a doctor so here I am just giving advice based on my on experience.
Avatar f tn The problem is, he also suffers from anxiety, probably from canine cognitive disfunction. It looks like Xanax is not a good option for kidneys. We have tried zylkene, denosyl and thunder shirt, but nothing helps. Are there any other mess that might help, but don't tax the kidneys?
Avatar f tn I still do not know if Naproxen really hurts your kidneys. If anyone does, please add your thoughts. Also, I want to apologize for my comment about the term "drug abuse". I said it really bothered me because, to me, it is misuse of English Grammar. It is commonly excepted to use the words that way. Just because I don't like it, doesn't make it incorrect.I still can not find any solid proof that Naproxen is bad for a kidney.
7826135 tn?1394734754 So I went to the hospital yesterday because I had server pain in my back. Turns out my right kidney is enlarged. They couldn't give me anything because of my baby. Has anyone gone through this? The pain came back last night, took like 4 Tylenol ex and put a hot towel on my back. It hurts a lot. The ER doctor thinks my placenta is pressing against my uters and causing urine to back up in my kidneys. But he also said it seems like its to early for that to happen because I'm only 17 weeks..
Avatar f tn Went back 2 weeks later she said it was still inflammed but not as much. I went for an ultrasound scan on Wednesday of my kidneys. I got a call yesterday asking me to book at appt with doctor next week and was marked as non urgent although she wants me to have a LFT (liver function test) blood test. I am so worried. Could this just be protocol with kidney problems or could the scan have shown liver problems? Surely my doctor would have felt if liver was inflammed and not kidneys?
