High blood pressure

Been diagnosed of Hbp since 2022..does anyone have issues with taking indapamide and just generally feeling unwell...so much body pain...I don't feel good at all..I think the natrilix indapamide gives more symptoms.. can anyone enlighten me on this please

[Ademide]

And also have so much flutters in my body...

I live with increased BP for the past almost 30 years, without taking medications for it. Simply, I do not like taking chemicals in my body, especially since, some 15 years ago, it was officially declared that some, long term used BP drugs, are causing cancer. The producer has admitted it... My best result until now, as far as I can remember, was 190/120, lol. Still around and kicking!

As for your case, it would be interesting to know some more details about you - age, sex, have you been jabbed with the new sort of vax for Covid etc. Since people do not like writing personal data in forums, I will tell you how the things are in general. Very many people who have received the experimental vax have complained about extremely high BP and about oscillating BP - going up and down, without the possibility to regulate it as it should be. The pain you are feeling in your body may be Fibromyalgia, you will find it as a group in NHS forums. It is not caused by high BP but goes hand in hand with high BP.

Yes, and the flutters may be the onset of heart arrhythmias of some kind, which is also very usual for the jabbed.

Thank you so much for the response..I didn't take the vax vaccine..am a guy in my thirties..

[Responsable in reply to Ademide]

Excellent, me neither! How young are you? If elderly, the problems you have may be the consequence of simply ageing, like it is in my case...

[Responsable in reply to Ademide]

In young ones, like you are, the main cause of BP and other problems may be being overweight. Many people have reported that their BP has gone down when they have reduced weight, what is not so easy to do. Some physical activities may also make problems - going to the gym is considered to be a very good thing, but weight lifting, especially when overdoing it, can contribute to health problems. There are number of other activities which can ruin the health - cycling, rowing, running, horse-riding etc.

I appreciate you sir.. thank you for the insight..my weight is actually quite good

if you go to the website Blood Pressure UK you might get some more insight into your condition. They have a helpline, so you could pose your question there.

My BP sored after having first Jab, haven't felt right since and my normal tinnitus, changed to pulsatile tinnitus.

[Ademide in reply to bryzy69]

Oh... true. The tinnitus too could be crazy...mine is actually mild..but the way it just happens suddenly and relieve after few minutes and before you know it, one is in that phase again...

Hi Ademide

I have taken Indapamide on two separate occasions and I’m afraid it did nothing to reduce my BP but did reduce my sodium to an unacceptable level. So I was taken off it. It did make me feel awful. Dizzy spells and a lot of aching which didn’t help me as I suffer with arthritis. I am an older retired lady struggling to control my BP but I refuse to take any drug that continues to make me feel worse.

All I can say is try it and if it doesn’t suit you,, ask to try an alternative.

Good luck!

[Ademide in reply to Saffron20]

You nailed it...if it doesn't work, try another...most of these drugs just have many side effects..

[Ademide in reply to Ademide]

The aching too is maddening...crazy

Can confirm what Saffron 20 said about Indapamide and low sodium . I ended up in a&e and was kept in hospital as I had low sodium. When asked what medication I was on I included Indapamide and they took me off it immediately saying it had caused the low sodium. My GP had put me on it 6 weeks previously and I had no idea ( nor was told ) my sodium levels could be affected.

[Cyclamenfan]

I had virtually the same experience as Red1973 with Indapamide. It caused low sodium and I was taken off it immediately while in hospital. I had been feeling SO long-term fatigued and unable to do much, but when I came off the Indapamide I felt so much better after just a few days.
