Prexum 4mg Side Effects (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Started using Prexum approx. 6 months ago...have not had a day without a severe headache (migraine). Dr says it's not the Prexum. Especially when coughing..feels like head wants to explode! Also have muscular spasms when coughing....has anyone had similar experience?

REPLY

REPORT

I had flu , so thought this ongoing cough was from that.
My husband could not take the continuous coughing at night never mind during the day. Stopped the Prixum and after about 10 days coughing stopped .

I agree doctors dont realise the side effects to these drugs cost you your life with no one wanting to help they think these symtoms are in your head these companies should be a ashamed off their selves to what they put patients through

Thanks for this! I've been experiencing exactly the same.

Now I don't take the BP reading unless I feel ill. It boggles your mind when it's high..Then u stress, and it increases!

I'm changing my Lifestyle to a Healthier one. Life is precious and very short!

Too short to be Ill all the time.

I recently started with prexum and have been feeling horrible (nausea, headache shaky and dreadfully tired) and gaining weight. Is it just my body adapting? Will it normalize again? My blood pressure is perfect now.

Hibiscus tea assists in lowering blood pressure. Ten flowers soaked in boiled water for a half hour. Strain the flowers and add lemon juice and sweetener to taste. Drink three cups per day. I make a large amount, and freeze it in small mineral water bottles. If you are unable to access hibiscus flowers, you should be able to get the tea online. You can drink it hot or cold. I prefer it cold, and it is very refreshing. Hope this helps.

Re: Nietz (# 16)

Please don't just stop, Rather go and see your doctor, and ask him/her to prescribe something else. If you have stopped altogether, I do recommend that you try the hibiscus tea, and also take 1000mg of omega 3 every day. Omega 3 assists in lowering bp also, but also can assist in preventing blood clots. I am not a doctor, but have a medical background. (nursing) These things have worked for me, and perhaps they might work for you. Hope this helps you. Take care

Patricia,

It is hard to say, it really depends on what caused it. If it is from the medication, then yes, once it is out of your system, the side effects should eventually disappear.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this?

Prexum contains the active ingredient Peridopril, this is an Ace Inhibitor, commonly used to treat high blood pressure and coronary artery diseases.

That said, YES, headaches are actually a very common side effect of this class of medications, along with nausea, drowsiness and dizziness.

You'll see that in the side effects section, headache is prominently listed!

Has your doctor run any other tests?
