I recently started taking two tramadol 50 mg for severe joint pain due to RA. At the same time, my blood pressure was high (226/108) so i took 25 mg metoprolol and 25 mg losartan. Will my blood pressure drop too quickly? ## Hello, Irene! How are you? Has there been any change? These medications will not work to instantly lower blood pressure. They must be taken consistently over a period of time to have their full beneficial effect in your body, they cannot only be taken on an as needed basis. With readings that high, you could be in danger and should see your doctor for assistance, or if you've been instructed to take these medications regularly, you should start doing so. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urinatio...

My Dr. told me I can just quit the metoprolol, my heart rate sometimes dips into low 40's for a few seconds at night when sleeping. I was put on this years ago for Anxiety, not for any condition... I take 25 MG of the extended release, how much of a low dose is this and whats its affect on heart rate being a small dose, should I expect bad withdrawal issues? ## Hello, Mickey! How are you doing? It is normal for your heart rate to drop, when sleeping and this medication can also lower it, as a side effect, according to FDA reports. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and orthostatic hypotension. That's the lowest dose available, most people start at 25mgs and titrate up, when treating heart conditions, or high blood pressure. There sho...

On Oct 16th 2016 I got my normal Metformin 90 day supply. I was feeling (over the next 2 months) like an elephant was on my chest & couldn't walk more than 15-to 20 ft without feeling as though I was going to black out. On Dec. 30th eve I noticed my dose was scored, not Metformin. That's when I caught it! Never had High Blood Pressure & am 54. I normally fill 2 weeks at a time (pill containers) & nightly a week. I take 2 in the a.m. & 2 at night. So they were mixed in & not knowing what or how many - all unknown. But when I caught it, it was 2 Metoprolol 100 ER! So looking at the rest of that week & 2 nights, 2 to 3 out of 4 mornings, I had 1 with Metformin. The next a.m dose #31 I almost took 2 more Metoprolol 100 mg Er! I am totally disgusted! I have no...

The doctor put me on because he said that my blood presure had been 140-150 over 86 -92 for awhile now I take a vigara 100mg about one time every four-five weeks. I am 64 and very active. Can I still take the vigara ## Hello, BobbyB! How are you? What are your blood pressure readings with the Chlorthalidone? The Viagra can also lower it, so it's really going to depend on that. Did you ask your doctor about it? The Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that removes excess fluid from the body, so you will most likely experience increased urination and possibly dehydration. ## Hi any guys tried the female vigara the pink pill. I had some left over from a ex and i had one wow three or more times stronger than the male counterpart anyone know why

I've been prescribed lisinopril 10mg for hypertension but I'm reluctant to start taking it. I've read the side effects and lots of things are worrying me. Will I become too hypotensive after the first dose? Will I still wake up the next morning? Will I constantly experience dizziness? Can I drink alcohol? Will I end up with kidney failure? Will I develop a cough? Are there alternatives? ## There are risks to taking any medication, however, it is a much greater risk to let your hypertension continue uncontrolled, because it is guaranteed to cause serious health problems and possibly death. Lisinopril works well for many people, with no serious side effects and there are always others, like myself, that are sensitive to it and experience bad side effects and must switch to som...

How are you? High blood pressure is considered a heart problem, because it causes your heart to have to work harder than normal, which is why it can sometimes cause heart attacks or heart failure, if not brought under control. I can't find any information on Actiprex, so I'm not sure what it contains, thus I'd suggest checking with your doctor, before taking it. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## I would like to know what are the side effects when taking Adco-Vascard 20sr. I take one at knight but seem to get serious stomach pain and re...

I accidentally took my husband's blood pressure medicine which is 10 mg and mine is 2.5 mg. What should I do? ## Hello, Tae! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects? It depends on which medication you are taking. He may be taking 10mgs, but if it's a different one that yours, the 2.5 could be equivalent to it. Typically, however, if you take too much your blood pressure may go lower than usual, according to FDA reports, and you may experience nausea, dizziness, several drowsiness and shallow breathing. If they get too severe, you should seek emergency medical attention. What are you each prescribed? ## I accidentally took two of my husbands 10 mg of lisinopril and had already taken an ambien will I be ok?

On my prescription for Losartan/HCTZ 100-25mg last month the pill was teardrop shaped and yellow. I just had it refilled and the pill is rectangular, white, and has ZD 19 stamped on it. I think the pharmacy made a mistake. I have not taken them. Please advise!!! ## No, they haven't made a mistake, this tablet also contains 100mgs of Losartan and 25mgs of Hydrochlorothiazide, which are commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. It is common for a pharmacy to switch, depending on whatever company is offering the cheapest price, at the time they have to restock their supply. It's how they keep their prices as low as possible, for their customers that don't have insurance. Since this is a generic medication, it is manufactured by several different...

I was switched from toprol XL 25 mg once a day to lopressor 25 mg 2x aday. The nurse said it was the same because one is extended release ad the other is not ## Hi Koolau, Based on my research, the nurse was right in saying that they are the same medication and that Toprol XL is simply an extended-release version of Lopressor. Because of this however, there may be a slight variation of inactive ingredients which can actually be detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. I'd just be aware of this factor if for some reason you don't get the same relief or effects that you may have had from the Toprol XL. When you switch brand names or manufacturers, the drug itself doesn't change, but rather the binders or fillers that they put with it. I hope this helps...

What kind of cold medicine is okay to take with the blood pressure medicine losartan? ## @Sunshine, For liability reasons, I think it's generally best to discuss this with your prescribing doctor or pharmacist. However you can always look up potential drug interactions via the University of Maryland Medical Center at: umm.edu/health/medical/drug-interaction-tool That webpage allows you to plug in specific drug names for an evaluation of their combined pharmacology and what/if any risk factors (or side effects) may be expected in certain scenarios. Sorry I couldn't give you more specific details, but if you have a medication in mind you can simply plug it into that drug interaction tool... Nevertheless, I'd still encourage you to double check with your medical provider(s) jus...
