(Newest replies 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?

Since my last post I had to resign from my job and am disconnected from internet. The headaches and nausea went on to include sleeplessness and a persistent dry cough, all of which were ingnored by GP and specialist. When I developed severe joint and muscle pain, they ascribed it to Lupus and administered Cortizone. 24hrs after the injection I was unable to move a muscle and developed severe inflamation of all my joints muscles, tendons and ligaments. I was confined to bed for three and a half months. According to those doctors, I had a lupus flare. According to my new doctor, I had an alergic reaction to Prexum Plus, as well as the cortizone injection. I am still struggling to regain full use of my limbs. I am extremely angry since I feel the hell I experienced was totally unnescessary. I would sue in a moment if I thought I would get the support I require

For 13 years I was considered healthier than 90% of lupus patients - until my BP medication was changed to prexum plus. Daily headaches are but one symptom. Doctors seem to think it's my imagination since lupus patients are supposed to be ill.

ive been on prexum 4mg now for nearly a year. Doctor told me to loos weight. Which i did. Doctor told me start a healthy diet. Which i did. However, since the last few days when i took my prexum tablet in the mornings i nearly fainted. I feel dizzy! Rushed to the doctor who told me that my blood was very low. He advised that i should take half of the prexum tablet in the mornings an not the prescribed 1 tablet. Can it be that my blood pressure had stabilised an that the prexum is now lowering a normal blood pressure? I am now too scared to take the prexum. I am continuously dizzy and feel like i am going to faint. From tomorrow onwards il start drinking the tablet again. But feel very afraid. Please advise

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?
