Blood Pressure Forums (Page 69)

For the past 8 years I had been using Stamlo 5 mg blood pressure tablets and recently in July I had observed swelling in my feet. When I had consulted the cardiologist, he performed several tests and finally he changed the blood pressure medicine to Tellzy-CH 40 in July 2015. Since I have been observing that although my blood pressure is normal (I am 65 yrs), I have been experiencing severe gas and stomach pain in the stomach and continue to experience that even now. Kindly advise whether these symptoms are known side effects of Tellzy-CH 40? ## Those can be side effects of this medication, according to the NIH. You may also experience dizziness, headache, dehydration, and increased urination, which are all known side effects as well. Have you informed him that you are having gas and st...

I used valsartan i.p.40since 10years but now my blood pressure is not in control ## No medication works for someone forever in the same dosage.

The typical side effects of this one are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medications? Has anything else changed in your diet, or lifestyle?

I have been taking lisinopril for several years. My friend was prescribed the same dosage but is no longer taking it. She has some pills left from her period of using it. How long is it good after it has been purchased? ## In a bottle as dispensed from a pharmacy they are good for one year from when she received them. After that, they begin to lose efficacy. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medications?

Hi. I've been on 50mg tenopress a day and I'm suddenly suffering from very bad external hemorrhoids. Could it be aggravated by the use of tenopress? ## That's not a typical side effect of this medication, the NIH lists them as usually including symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medications? Have you been dealing with a lot of constipation, recently? ## I was also taking Doxycycline (an antibiotic). I also suffer from hypertension. Suffering with a lot of symptoms caused by the diagnosis of sickle cell. Especially pain in my legs and an irregular heartbeat. Not sure if I should continue with tenopress.

I was on Losartan for 5 years and for the last 5 years on Benicar 20 OD. About 10 days back my blood pressure showed increased values of 180/100 and fluctuated between 180/110 to 140/90. I also continued having a dull headache. I have since enhanced the dosage to Benicar 40 OD. Now the blood pressure is keeping itself at values below 110/70. Can I revert back to Benicar 20 after some time?

Please let me know if I should increase my dose of nebicard to 2 times a day? My age is 43 years. My blood pressure is 140/90 even after taking nebicard 5mg, 1 tab daily. ## How long have you been taking it?

I would like to know if I can take my carvedilol, lisinopril and amox/k clav 875-125 together? I'm worried the medications will interact. ## Has your doctor instructed you to take them and were they aware of the others you were taking, when they prescribed the antibiotic? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Additionally, it is far more risky to let an infection continue out of control, than it is to take an antibiotic with the other medications to eradicate it.

Can I take norco for my fibromyalgia pain along with my blood pressure med (amlodipine besylate 10mg)? ## I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these medications, though it is always best to double check to be sure. However, I can also tell you that pain is more dangerous for your blood pressure, than taking a medication to ease it. The FDA does warn that Norco carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Are you on any other medications?

I have. Pacemaker I had high blood pressure during my last visit, my doctor switched my mess from twice daily Metoprolol Succinate ER 50 mg twice daily to a 100mg Metoprolol Succinate SA. This has made me so tired I could sleep all day, no energy fatigue trouble balancing weakness. What is the difference and do these symptoms go away I've been on this for a week ## They should go away, with time, as your body gets used to the medication, but it may take about 4 to 5 weeks.

I am 83 years old & haave severe kidney disease, diabetes, & copd. ## So you do you take both, or do you take one or the other as you can get them, or they are available? If you aren't taking medications consistently on a regular basis, that could be contributing to the problem, since dizziness can be a typical side effects, according to FDA reports, and it may take 4 to 5 weeks for you body to get used to them and for such side effects to taper off and go away.

Are there any warnings or adverse effects from this China-manufactured generic drug? I'm fearful of taking it; and was unable to convince my pharmacy to pursue or supply a U.S. manufactured drug. ## Regardless of where it is manufactured, any given medication must meet the same safety and efficacy standards, in order for the FDA to approve of it being supplied and made available in the U.S. The typical side effects of this medication are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension, the same as the others available.

I was taking Lisinopril 20 mg V 3973 and it was changed to Lisinopril 20 mg round E 102. They are from different companies. Is this safe to take? ## Since this is a generic medication, it is manufactured by several different companies, so you may not always receive the same ones from your pharmacy, that is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Having multiple manufacturers helps create market competition to try to keep generic prices lower. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medications?

I take Lisinopril -HCTZ-20-12.5 mg twice a day. I noticed on my refill bottle It says Lisinopril 20 mg twice a day. Is that the same or should they be cut in half two times a day or should I call the doctor. Will this cause my heart rate to be higher and blood pressure to higher?. Thank You ## Did your doctor change your prescription? The original contained Lisinopril with Hydrochlorothiazide, while the new one, according to what you've listed, only contains the Lisinopril. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. It is always best to take the one your doctor has directed you to take. Is there a chance your pharmacy made an error?
