Can Tellzy 40 be taken in place of Valent 40 for managing high blood pressure? ## Tellzy contains the active ingredient Telmisartan, while Valent is listed as containing Valsartan, so while they are in the same medication class and treat the same conditions, they are different medications and a different dosage may be required, if you switch from one to the other. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was on Propranolol 80mg extended-release tablets for 2 days for my anxiety. I know it's bad to suddenly stop taking beta-blockers, but I had to because my heart rate was too low and I felt horrible. I was told by a doctor that I should be ok to just stop altogether. I really just wanted some reassurance. Will I be ok? I stopped about 2 days ago, and my heart rate seems fine. ## OMG story of my life! I was prescribed Propranolol 80mg for anxiety also and just stopped taking them cold turkey 2 days ago because it was lowering my blood pressure and heart rate way too much, making me dizzy/light headed, etc. I feel awful right now, I have a headache, weird heart palpitations/fluttering, weakness, fatigue, sweating, etc. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and I'm going to speak t...

I am 72, taking Telma 80mg after breakfast and Amlopress 5mg after dinner. Usually my BP in the morning is 140/85 but only after a breakfast of fruits like bananas, pomegranates, dates, apples, guava, etc. However, my BP frequently rises at times to 175/98, instead of decreasing, after about 2 hours. Is it due to the potassium in the fruits? For the last two days I've also been feeling dizziness. Should I switch to some other medicine for hypertension? I play tennis in the evening for half an hour. My pulse is about 65 bpm.

Can you explain to me if there is any difference between the two Benazepril listed above. When I was taking the one ending with Zen I had absolutely perfect BP all the time and then my last RX I recieved the one ending with AMN and my bp has gone sky high. The ZEN is a pink triangle with the code 5126 on one side and 93 on the other side. The one ending in AMN is white round with an A on one side and the other side is marked with the number 53. ## They are both Benazepril, they are just manufactured by different companies, the one with the 93 5126 is manufactured by Teva and the one with the A 53 is made by Amneal. However, there are a couple possibilities that could explain why you no longer have good blood pressure control. The first and most likely is that you've simply grown tol...

I am a 70 year old Indian male suffering from a breathing problem after severe symptoms of breathlessness developed one month ago. Along with other medicines Dytor Plus was prescribed. Now I am feeling weakness, pain and cramping in lower limbs. Please let me know what should be done? ## It sounds like they may have thought you had a heart or blood pressure problem, since that's what the NIH lists this medication as being used to treat. Did they do any tests? Have you consulted a cardiologist? Do you have any diagnosed medical conditions? Do you take any other medications? The symptoms you've listed can be common side effects of this medication, according to the U.S. FDA, you may also experience headache, nausea, and frequent urination.

I am taking antenolo for blood pressure. Lately my blood pressure has been below 100. It was at 85. I have also been cold. I stop taking the antenolo and blood pressure went up to 132/75 and my pulse was 98. Should I stop taking the antenolo. I believe I am taking it to lower my blood pressure. Thanks ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, and increased urination. Rather than stopping it, however, it would be best to speak to your doctor about perhaps adjusting your dosage, or trying a different medication. Is this the only medication you are taking?

Is Labetalol HCL compatible with Prednisone 10 mg + Chlorthalidone 10 mgm + Duloxetine 60 mgm + Amlodipine? My husband has been taking these drugs and has begun to hallucinate! ## Hello, Joanie! How is your husband doing? Has there been any change? It is difficult to say what might be cause it, it could be due to one of these medications, or it may be unrelated. According to NIH reports, hallucinations can occur for many different reasons. Has his doctor been consulted? Having this checked out would be the best way to get to the root of the problem. ## My husband is doing slightly better...thanks for asking! I cut back on the Labetalol and at the doctor's suggestion, stopped his Duloxetine for three days. We will see if this stops the hallucinations ans the night restlessness.

How is your husband doing? Taking an extra dose could result in his heart rate and blood pressure going too low, which could result in heart or respiratory failure. You should know to watch for any possible danger signs, which the U.S. FDA lists as possibly including extreme drowsiness, severe dizziness, shallow breathing and lowered heart rate. Sweety, yes they can be taken together, as long as your doctor approves and has instructed you to do so. The typical side effects may possibly ...

I started taking this drug 2 days ago as the beta blocker I was on was making me feel terrible but I am having the same side effects. My heart is pounding, I feel nauseous and very weak all day. My blood pressure readings have however improved. Should I keep on taking the drug and hope as my body gets used to it the side effects will wear off? It's quite scary sometimes as my heart is pounding so heavily and I am spending most of the day lying down in bed. ## Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to the NIH, you may also experience dizziness, headache, and increased urination. Side effects are typically transient and should taper off, then go away entirely, once your body gets used to the medication, but that may take 5 to 6 weeks. If they do not, or if they...

I had my aortic valve replaced with a mechanical valve in 2014. Post surgery I was put on bisoporal and losartan (25mg). following really bad side effects with the bisoporal my cardiologist told me to stop immediately. He said i was put on these following surgery as this is normal pracrtice for 3 months following surgery. However I forgot to ask about the Losartan and so have continued with this for another year. My GP wouldnt take me off either as he said he wasnt a cardologist but my blood pressure is normal. I am so desperate now with continuing side effects painful legs, knees and migraine headaches dont see my cardologist for another year for checkup. Have decided to stop Losartain every other day and monitor my blood pressure. also on warfarin and managing that very well. please a...

I was on 50 mg for a few years and my doctor increased it to 100 mg because my bp was still high. I now have high resting heart rate and I am feeling dizzy often. Could this be because of the jump to 100 mgs? ## Yes, these symptoms could be due to the raise in your dosage, according to the NIH, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urination. However, it is always best to have such symptoms checked out to be safe. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking Lisinopril /HCTZ 20-25mg. I,m out. I do have a bottle of Lisinopril 2.5 mg that was filled incorrectly, but I still have them. my blood pressure is high 155/96, and I have a terrible headache. is it ok to take the Lisinopril 2.5mg ## It is a much lower dosage, so it may not work as well as the one you are currently prescribed. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. In the future, it would be best to make sure you pick up a refill, before you run out, since missing doses could be dangerous. Have you consulted your doctor?

My md said to either stop losartin or captripril no explanation just said I needed to stop one so I said losartin I have been on captrapril since I was 35 150 mg was put on losartin (cozaar) in96 after bypass surgery now my body is going up what should I do my dosage for losartin is100 mg Earline ## There is no harm in asking them why they told you to stop one. It is most likely because either your blood pressure, or heart rate is too low, perhaps both. The typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. And yes, there will be a period where your blood pressure and heart rate go up, after stopping the Losartan, but it shouldn't be a serious/dangerous raise, since you are still taking the other one. How are you doing, now? ...

Has anyone experienced wheezing as a side effect of this drug. Currently on 16mg pd,just started a week ago. Was swapped from lisinoprol after developing a persistent cough. Still have cough but wheezing now too. Do not have asthma. Thank you, Rosie ## Yes I get wheezing and a cough ,,disc Monday hate these tabs ## A cough can be a side effect, according to the FDA, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. However, wheezing is not and you should have it checked out by your doctor to be safe. Are either of you on any other medications? ## Thank you both. Beginning to think wheeze is not caused by these tablets and am looking at other causes.Also on statins and occasionally indomethacin for gout attacks. Wishing you both a very happy Christmas.
