New to high blood pressure
How long did it take for your blood pressure to settle and go down? I’m taking 50mg Losartan but was on ramipril for a little while before that, I got the cough with it and changed. My b/p is still erratic and I started the meds just 3 months ago. The gp is calling me next week x

Eight is enough?
Reflecting on this year, made me recall that old TV series. My own family is small. My wife and I live on a small farm where we nurture dozens of animal "children". We have one son, our most treasured gift; and, at 21, he is still finding his way in the world with a kind heart and a gentle nature that

Side effects after several weeks of taking losartan
On Losartan 50mg, for 8 weeks, had stomach pain but that's gone. Now feel fatigued and slightly dizzy. Can this occur after so many weeks?

MABs - Encouraging, but not really
Couple things…. 1. Has anyone taking Calquence received a MAB infusion? Waiting to hear from my Dr to confirm it’s safe and doesn’t cause any drug interactions. Seems unlikely, but I want to be certain. 2. Applied for a MAB infusion via the Stanford Health process and explained that, although I didn

Plant Sterols and Levothyroxine
Being hypothyroid my cholesterol levels have been quite high-last reading was 7, 2 years ago. Have been using a proactive margerine as don't want to go on statins. Has anyone had any success with plant sterol supplements? Are they tolerated with levothyroxine? Any anecdotal experiences would be appreciated
