Losartan or Candesartan?
Wondering if anyone has experience of both of these drugs? I’ve been on Losartan for three years and am fairly certain it has significantly contributed to substantial weight gain. The doctor (telephone appointment, never met them, has no prior knowledge of me) has suggested I try Candesartan, but having

Latest Consensus on Omega-3, Aspirin & Curcumin?
So in finishing up my deep dive into supplements, these were the three I had the most trouble making any definitive personal conclusions about so I wanted to do a review before putting them to bed to get any last input. My general feeling is without well-designed long-term studies (not retrospective

From EHA June 2022. Treating hypertension in patients receiving BTK inhibitors
My own Ibrutinib induced hypertension has been tricky to treat and Losartan, which did suit me, had to be stopped as it was contraindicated. Now on Amlopidine and it's not effective at all so going back to Losartan now that I'm off Ibrutinib. Interesting in that he says that more than one class of

Losartan & Muscle aches & Pains in Legs
I have had aching leg muscles and my mobility has been poor. Had loads of tests done by GP and Rheumatology as I have GCA, Arthritis and Osteoporosis. I searched all my meds to see if any listed muscle problems as a side effect and Losartan did so I stopped them almost a week ago. Have taken my blood

Digoxin as alternative to beta blockers?
Hi I'm just wondering if anyone has experience of. taking Digoxin as an alternative to beta blockers whichI don't get on with on a daily basis as they slow my heart rate too much and leaving me feeling unable to do much. I currently take Apixaban (paroxysmal AF) and Losartan and Felodopine for hypertension

27 years off dialysis
In 1995 almost died from meningococcal sepsis. Was hospitalised over 6 months requiring wound care, debridement, skin grafts, amputations of fingers and toes. The resulting kidney damage classified as meningococcal Waterhouse Fridericksen syndrome. The treatment was dialysis to remove the bacteria

Anyone having this problem?
I'm taking Lisinopril 20 mg mixed with Hydrochlorothiazide 12 mg, once a day. Also taking 150 mg Pradaxa twice a day and Metoprolol Succinate 50 mg once a day. My leg muscles, on both legs, from knee to thigh feel weak and sore. I was taking Eliquis but stopped that because I thought that may be what

its been a tough few days.
Hello - the last few days have really been quite scary. I have been having trouble controlling my BP and the highest it went was 180/100 but perhaps half of that was extreme anxiety and taking it every 5 minutes. I ended up at my GP and I have had 2 readings of 150/70 but I am now scared to take it again

Next Move
I've been on Lupron, Zytiga, Prednisone for 3 years now and it appears that it has run it's course. I am grateful that it has worked for this long, but it appears I will be needing to make a move to the next therapy. My PSA has gone from 14 to 71 over the last six months and ALP has jumped to 190 after
