Losartan Potassium for High Blood Pressure
Losartan Potassium for High Blood Pressure I was talking to someone who told me that when she went on Larsotan 100 mg that she couldn't move and was lethargic. Later, I was talking to someone who told me that a family member took the drug and I got the same idea. I had told my doctor about 3 years

Getting the ball rolling
Hi, I've been struggling with my weight for a while. I have either IBS or bile acid malabsorption which makes dieting a lot harder as I have to be careful what I eat. Here's to getting the ball rolling and feeling like me again.....it's been a while.

Hypertension
61yr old been on Tilden la 200mg and bebdroflumethiazide 2.5mg for over 12 years. Now being asked to add 1mg of doxazosin into the mix at bp high. I'm worried about the mix as when looking on the enclosed leaflet it says 'warning' do not give to anyone with high blood pressure! What are your thoughts

Lancet study on carbs: a critique
This is quite long, so rather than clutter up Zest's thread (or the other one discussing the newspaper editorial) I thought I'd better create a separate one, simply because lot of people might find my comments too boring to respond to :) First off (and I'm not pretending this is an academic observation

Update on Oxycodone
Hello all my restless friends. I said I would let you know how I fared with starting oxycodone. I have now been taking 5 mg. Longtec (oxycodone) for two weeks. This tablet is slow release over 12 hours. For the first few days I played about with the time of taking and have now settled on 8.00 p.m

Why beta-blockers for portal hypertension, rather than blood pressure reducing drugs?
Hi My Mum has recently been diagnosed with NAFLD and stage 1 cirrhosis and she has been prescribed beta-blockers. We were just wondering why beta blockers have been prescribed rather than the usual blood pressure reducing drugs? Does anybody know why this is? Not saying it's wrong, just wondering

High cholesterol

My HDL level was 5.8 (<5.0) I have also been getting white plaques of skin around my eyes, the nurse said that is indicative of high cholesterol and I have had those since

Do these cholesterol levels need further treatment or are they okay? Aged 21
Hi, I recently had a blood test at work and haven't had chance to take the results to my GP yet. I should start by saying I have a family history of heart disease/problems. My maternal grandmother had a stroke in her late 40s and died of a heart attack aged 54. My mother is displaying signs of what could
