High Blood Pressure Medicine

I am on the Ciplavasc 5 mg tablet for high blood pressure, but this month they gave me Austell Amlodipine. I'm scared to take it. I just want to know if it's the same type of tablet or is it different? ## They both contain the same active ingredient, Amlodipine, they have just been manufactured by different companies. 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? ## 6 months ago my blood pressure was 150/100+-. Now after 6 months my blood pressure is at 130/90. Can I stop taking medicine?

I'm a 40 year old diagnosed with High Bp for the past 5 years. I was on Losar h in the morning and amlong 5mg in the night. After that my Bp for a very long time (maybe years) was 110/75, but with frequent severe headaches (weekly twice and each time for over 24 hours). 2 weeks back due to non availability of losar h, i had to consume amlong 5 mg both in morning and night and continued with it. Surprisingly my headache vanished, but I felt problem with my eyesight, swelling of legs and ankle, constipation problem.. Is this because of the change of medicine? ## Yes, there is a chance that it could be due to the change in medication. The NIH lists the other side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medica...

My age is 48 and my blood pressure remains at 150 past one year I am on telmisartan and amlodipine combined with bisoprolol 5mg. Suggest how to lower my blood pressure ## Hello, Krishna! How are you? What types of foods do you eat? If they are heavily salted and very fatty, that will play a role in causing your blood pressure to be high. It can also be affected by someone's being overweight and being sedentary. So, if you're carrying a few extra pounds, you should work on losing them, preferable via proper diet and exercise, since those both also play a role in lowering it. And have you talked to your doctor? These just might not be the right medications for you to take, you may need to try something else. ## Since last one year my bp is 150/75. Kidly suggest the remedy

Im on prexum 4mg 3 days back i took my pill and just bout 15 minits later i passed out is it possible that my b/pressure were normal and the pill brought it down to fast, can your b/pressure go back to normal again? ## How long have you been on it? If you're blood pressure has been at normal levels on this dose, it's possible that the dose is now too high and you may need to take a lower one. Usually, higher doses are used at first, to bring someone's blood pressure down as fast as possible, then the doctor should be monitoring them regularly and they should be checking it themselves, so the dosage can be adjusted as needed.

Hi. I’m taking losartan 25mg and besylate 10 mg. I take them 10-20 mins apart and I take them in the morning. Is it ok to take NyQuil with my blood pressure medicine? ## Hello, Sally! How are you? Sally was also my mother's name! I miss her so very much, and I guess I always will. Losartan is used to treat high blood pressure and various cardiac conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. However, besylate is not the name of an actual medication, that just designates the chemical salt it was derived from, can you please double check the name? Is it possibly Amlodipine Besylate? What formulation of Nyquil do you wish to take? ## Hi, awww Sally is a beautiful name.. lol yea I miss my ...

Im taking Diovan HCT 160/12.5 for my blood pressure but it is still little high.I have a second medicine I used to take Labetalol HCL 200mg.Is it ok to take them both? ## Okay first, what numbers do you consider a little high? You have to understand what when someone has high blood pressure, the basic goal is usually 135/85 or right around there, because in many cases it isn't practical to try to get them to 120/80 or lower. You also need to be watching what you eat, such as keeping your sodium as low as possible and not overdoing your fluid intake, to help lower it. On top of that you also need to be getting regular exercise. Learn more hypertension details here. Other factors that come into play would be the time of day you are checking it, because it is normal for some fluctuatio...

I'm a female, age 81, and for a few days my blood pressure got high (200/120). What can I do about this immediately? ## Those numbers can be very dangerous, you could suffer a heart attack or stroke, according to the NIH. You need to see a doctor immediately, so they can evaluate you and prescribe an appropriate medication, if they feel one, or more, are necessary. Are you currently taking any medications regularly? How often has your blood pressure been this high? Do you have any diagnosed medical conditions?

I am presently using prexim 4mg for blood pressure, and experiencing a slight throat irritation causing me to cough now and again. is this a normal side effect/ and if so why / and what is causing this to happen/ ## Hello, Greg! How are you? Yes, that can be a side effect of many blood pressure/cardiac medications. As listed by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, headache, hypotension and increased urination. However, the cough doesn't usually go away as most other side effects usually do, so you should speak to your doctor about trying a different medication. Is there anything else I can help with?

I started taking kin tablets for the past one month but am seeing no significant reduction in the level of blood pressure measurement. I.E. it was 160/105 when started taking kin tabs. It came down to 139/91 two weeks ago. Today it measured 160/105, 154/102, and 155/101. ## What dosage are you taking and how often do you take them? And when are you checking it? Is it immediately after activity? After you're eating? And how close together in time are you checking it? As reported by the NIH, all of these factors can affect your readings, at any given time. Do you also eat a healthy, low salt and low fat diet? Do you make sure to get plenty of exercise? Are you on any other medications?

I took 125 mg of meteripol for my blood pressure ## Hello, Hercules! How are you? Yes, you can overdose if you take too much of any medication. When it's a blood pressure/cardiac medication like this one, it could cause your blood pressure and heart rate to go too low, which may cause dizziness, fainting and possibly death, as listed by the FDA and NIH. How much are you supposed to take? You should be aware that for this to help your blood pressure, you need to take it regularly for a month, taking extra when you have higher blood pressure numbers won't actually do anything to help.
