Entresto
Have just been prescribed Entresto sacubitril/valsartan 24mg/26mg to be taken twice a day morning and evening. Has anyone else been prescribed this? If so, how did you get on with it and did your blood pressure suddenly drop to below 110/70? Thank you.

Blood pressure medication
My pharmacy has run out of Valsartan. Is there a National shortage . I have done some research and read it was withdrawn in 2022

High BP, meds don't work
I am 67, female, moderately overweight, 5,8, 165# . Moderate hypertension for many years, well controlled with Losartan. Losartan stopped working, placed on Valsartan, which is basically Losartan with a water pill. Several months ago developed high BP, averaging 180/105 upon awakening, dropping

Sudden jump in creatinine and BUN, and drop in GFR after being on Valsartan for 13 years with no problem
A few years ago, I had a sudden huge jump in creatinine (1.6 to 3.4!) and BUN (30 to 100!) after being on Valsartan for 13 years with no problem. I know this can happen immediately after starting the drug, but I haven't been able to find any research indicating it can do this after 13 years. My nephrologist

LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
A somewhat new development for me has me wondering if there could be any relationship to our illness, so I'm seeking comments. My Blood Pressure has been dropping over time, and I did lose some weight in the last year, but I find it hard to imagine its because of the weight. One year ago I was 254

uncontrollable Blood pressure: on high meds of Valsartan 320 mgs and Amlodopine 5 mgs daily. ill recently and wondered if it is the meds.….
I have been suffering with high blood pressure for over 20 years. I am aged 75. For the past five years, it has occasionally become uncontrollable with spikes of high systolics up to 180- 200 on more than one occasions. My BP would be okay for several weeks and then out of the blue it goes sky high

Hello, What might it mean when Lipoprotein(a) levels are above reference range and rising? From what I've read they should be relatively stable and the levels determined by genetics. Since 2017, when I had thyroid cancer and a thyroidectomy my lipoprotein a levels have risen steadily from the

Strange smell
Since I started on the drugs below, I seem to have a strange smell constantly in my nostrils. My wife says she can't smell anything. This strange chemical type smell is apparent in my pee too ( at least to me!) I'm due to see my HF nurse on Friday, but has anyone ever experienced this? I was diagnosed

A very cool link for all inhibitors that you can download
Here is a very cool link on all the inhibitors. This link is awesome and it covers all inhibitors for all of the cancer pathways. Half way down under "Other Androgen Receptor Products" you will see two graphics; one is "Download Inhibitor Catalog", the other is download the "Androgen Receptor Signaling

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

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

Status Update Post-atrial Cardioäblation:
Had rapid atrial quivering/fibrillation develop in Feb '21 while I was focused on avoiding a second heart attack after having had a major one 9½ years earlier. Got put on meds to see if AFib could be managed that way but worsened to the point that by Aug, my heart was tracked at 244 BPM and I'd collapsed

Valsartan and erection
I recently started valsartan for bp. I take it at bedtime and wake up early AM with an erection. Has anyone else had this happen? From what I’ve heard it’s usually the opposite.

Valsartan and cancer
Does the BP med Valsartan still contain carcinogen? I have recently started taking without knowing about it's recall until I read about it online. I am a ten year survivor of cancer and have genetic risk for it.

harmful meds
Anybody have experience taking prescription meds for whatever reason, only later to discover that they are destroying your kidneys. For me hydrochlorothiazide, hctz and lopid gemfibrozol anti elevated triglycerides seem to be two drugs with potential for damaging kidneys.??

Irratic blood pressure
Hi there I am new to the chat. I am still having irratic blood pressure readings after being on high doses of Valsartan. My blood pressure will be stable for a while and then shoot back up again. When it is stable I take half f if the dose. I wonder if that is the problem. Please advise
