Common Questions and Answers about Welchol blood pressure

welchol

Avatar m tn Atenenol peaks but does not remain constant. Atenenol is good for blood pressure, but if you have Heart failure you should talk to your doctor about Coreg. Coreg blocks two receptors and has proven studies to reduce mortality. All your other medications is what I would expect you to be on. You could ask the doctor if you can take 81mg aspirin daily also.
Avatar f tn hello dane i thought i would share that i'm also going through the process of getting tests done for my tight chest, feeling as though my esophagus is very tight all the time. are you also getting food stuck? do you have constant belching? if so it's could be dysphagia.
Avatar n tn I take (2) 500mg of metformin at breakfast and supper. I also take powder welchol at supper. I would like to take my 1000mg of Januvia at bedtime to help lower my morning blood sugar readings that usually run in the 150's to 160, Any cons to taking the Januvia without food at bedtime?
401016 tn?1201451802 I would assume they're giving you welchol for diarrhea and the Ami for GI spasms. This is a combination that is given to many (or combinations like it) when someone is experiencing unexplained abdominal pain (perhaps due to spasms) and diarrhea. Ami is used fairly frequently in GI problems, so don't consider it a 'head med.' It is, but in this case it's probably being used to work on the receptors in your GI tract - not your head, although it will do that, too.
Avatar f tn I have an answer for you. I too had my GB out, and soon after had the same symptoms. I DIAGNOSED IT myself....not much initial help from the gastro MD. It is called "biliary diarrhea". It's fairly common, surprisingly. Apparantly has no reflection on the quality of the surgery (I had the short cut method). However, good news: I've beern able to control it, for which I do give gastro MD credit....The cholesterol drug Welchol. Without it I'd be housebound!
Avatar n tn Ask your doctor about Welchol; it's a cholesterol medicine that binds bile salts. I had mine taken out in February of last year and tried to "tough it out," but after a doctor put me on Welchol, I rarely ever get sick after eating.
Avatar f tn I am curious if you tried cholestramine or welchol pills for detox? I use the welchol because I can't drink liquid meds.
Avatar f tn Has your husband looked at all the risk factors and made the necessary adjustments in his lifestyle? Does he smoke? is his blood pressure under control? are his cholesterol levels within guideline limits? is he avoiding stress? is he exercising? Is he eating a healthy diet? Is he on the right medication? Usually after bypass surgery you would attend rehab, where they hold education classes and run exercise groups.
Avatar n tn Lipitor caused severe muscle weakness, Zetia caused all kind of digestive problems and Pravachol zapped my energy...my count actually went up 30 points while taking WelChol! My doctor is telling me that I have no other choices of medicine to lower my count (total 285, HDL 106 VLDL 21, LDL 188, Triglycerids 106.) My sister is having the same problem so I guess this problem is a family thing. I am really troubled by my doctor's lack of concern.
Avatar n tn I did not have any problems until then. I suffered with IBS for years until my Gastro doctor put me on Welchol and it is wonderful I take 3 pills a day and I can get anything I want and I don't have any IBS episodes anymore. I am not afraid to go out anywhere anymore. But I have another problem.
Avatar m tn the first two times, there were a few blockages - 10, 18 and 20% The last time was in December 2013 with a different cardiologist (I moved across the state) and he said I had NO blockages at all. HUH??? My lipid profiles are still horrible even with medications. Pravacol, Tricor and Welchol. His answer for this question was: "Those medications took the blockages away." Of course, I am no doctor but this seems funny to me.
Avatar f tn Now i am unable to eat anything that does not upset my stomach and cause instant diahrea. I had a blood test done and stool sample done but all came back normal. I continue to be sick on a daly basis and do not seem to be getting better. sick to my stomach all the time unless my stomach is empty. Im just wondering is there any tests im missing or is this normal. What can i do?? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.
Avatar n tn Are you asking if there are any exercises which can cure high blood pressure?
Avatar f tn Everything was good except my blood pressure was high for the first time. They told me not to worry and im not. But just wondering how likely it could be that id get pre eclampsia. I only have three weeks to go so thought i was safe from that. Lol. What should i look out for or do till my next appointment?
Avatar f tn The benefits of BP meds could outweigh any risks of high blood pressure. I know that I will have to take BP meds when im pregnant. You should really consult your physician to see if this applies in your case. Aldomet is a BP med that is considered safe in pregnancy. I was on BP meds when I miscarried but had nothing to do with it. BP can be a serious problem in pregnancy and should not be ignored.
212161 tn?1599427282 ok this time took bp while in potty room. my blood pressure went from being 130/67 to 187/90 just because i went bathroom. any ideals. went back to normal after , there was no pushing just bad cramps, with my IBS.
Avatar f tn My blood pressure was 127/91 the other day. My normal is around 120/80. Is it just me or is this a little higher than normal? 10 weeks on Sunday.
Avatar f tn I'll be 37 weeks any my blood pressure keeps going up it was 136/82 at the hospital and today when i checked it at home it is 145/92 the hospital told me to have it checked at the doctor tomorrow, anyone else had this happened to them ? If so what did the doctor do?
8186845 tn?1415020547 Anyone elses blood pressure rising but no protein in their urine causing it? My dr wants to see me weekly now because my blood pressure is 138/88. Im almost 34 weeks.
Avatar f tn I had legit pregnancy hypertension and it was that high during birth so that after, I had a blood pressure cuff that took my pressure every 2 hours for 24 hours. (THAT was a pain as it wakes you up as it squeezes your arm). Just talk to your doctor Paige next visit or even call in before if you are worried.
Avatar f tn Been having problems with my blood pressure. I was wondering if theres a certain med for this that's safer for the liver. Any info appreciated.
