Would blood pressure meds make u tired body feels if you have aches slowed down
I had 2 stents 9mths ago but meds were not changed.
BP always under 125/80 cholestral 3.1
BP adizem 240mg and candesartan anybody else think they should be lowered
Thank you
Did/have you asked for them to be reviewed?
I asked gp about 6 months ago said bp was lower said that was goodIf you reduce meds could it cause breathlessness on walking hills or anything I'm actively walking most days
I would not lower them myself
Do u know if u get a yearly check up?
Yes you should have a meds review every year, generally the onus is on you to request the review, you should also make sure that you request any necessary blood tests prior to the review, making sure that the results are back before your appointment.
Saw practice nurse last month give her my bp readings for last month she said they will do only I said to take my bp up a little bit from my readings 130/78Blood tests all normal
So was that for a meds review? Normally a meds review is done by a GP or a Pharmacist!
If it was a meds review did they say why they aren't changing anything?
If it wasn't a meds review, then you need to request one.
Been on them for years u just get yearly bloods and bp with nurse never mentions medsI went through ae in for angiogram 2 stents out 48 hrs
Dont even know my cardiologist
Saw the cardiac nurse twice last date oct no rehab because of covid told just to get bloods done in april 21
I will check with pharmacist tomoro
Thanks for listening
No, you should call your GP surgery and tell them that you are overdue a meds review and can you book an appointment, also ask if you need more blood tests prior to the appointment.
Good luck
Will doThanks for your help
Am I being thick? How would you even know what blood tests to ask for?
Ask if you need any, if so which ones, they will then book the relevant tests on the system.
I know will ring gp to reviewThanks
In my GP surgery med reviews done by clinical pharmacist - pretty thorough. But up to you to request one. When you next see nurse for bp review you could talk to her, call the BHF nurses here and talk to them or even ask to speak to your GP. You seem concerned enough about fatigue to post on here, so why not put your mind at rest and speak to someone? Good luck!
Will do Thanks for your help
A common side-effect of candesartan is joint and muscle pain, so this might be something you could discuss with your GP. Some people have to try several types of meds before finding the one that suits them best.
Have been on candesartan for years but I will ring gpThanks for your help
Hope you find the answer.🙂
