Blood Pressure :: Inderal To Labetalol
I'm a 64 year old male with high b/p and hypo thyroid problems. Been on Inderal 160 for 10 yrs or more along with losartan started last yr.. My b/p has been running around 190/95 in the mornings for the last several months. Dr. checked my thyroid and said it was ok and then told me to stop the Inderal cold turkey and start taking labetalol 200mg 3 times a day. Been on the labetalol for 3 days now and feel quite bad with dizziness, feeling of passing out sometimes, but haven't, headache, and tremors, along with some ear ringing. Tried calling the doctor to ask about these effects i'm having, but so far no call from him. Was wondering if this is ok to switch from the Inderal over to the labetalol the next with no weaning of the Inderal? Also my pulse was running in the 70s on the Inderal, but in the 80s and 90s on the labetalol. Should I keep taking the labetalol or switch back to the Inderal? Would that even be safe to do now? Any advise appreciated. I believe i'm going to stop the labetalol and go back on Inderal and losartan. I didn't feel near as bad as I do now.
View 5 RepliesHigh Blood Pressure :: Switching From Inderal To Toprolol - Dosage?
I am 47 year old non-smoking Asian woman who eats healthy, exercise 3 times a week and occasional wine drinking. I take high BP medication for 16 years. Usually my BP is controlled but it gets high due to lack of sleep or before/during/after period. I have premature contractions (skip beat) sometimes. All blood work is normal, EKG, heart ultrasound, CTA, stress test has been normal. However, the last 1-2 months, I suffer new symptoms. My question is as follows:
(1) What is the approximate equivalent medication dose of Toprolol as to Inderal 10mg 2 times a day?
(2) After I switch medication from Inderal to Toprolol, I often experience palpitations or higher heart rate when I stand up or walk, especially in the morning. I also feel strange pressure feeling around my throat, upper chest and heart area sometimes. I had not had these symptoms when I was on Inderal. Could those symptom be due to Toprolol side effect? What kind of tests should I ask for?
Coming Off Venlafaxine :: Raised Blood Pressure
My GP recently took me off of venlafaxine slow release from 150mg a day to 0 over the period of 2-3 weeks! This was done due to high blood pressure. I learnt a lot from people on here that it was done too fast, hence the severe withdrawal, so GP put me on mirtazapine 15mg! I've had a severe breakdown, depression back worse than ever, anxiety that I'd never had and self harm that I haven't done since a child, I'm now 48!
New Year's Eve, psychiatrist upped mirt to 30-45mg, yesterday psychiatrist put me back on venlafaxine 150mg and told me to also continue mirt!
On top of that, local GP has doubled my blood pressure tablets and introduced another medication to try and control the blood pressure!
First dose of venlafaxine 75mg last night had me throwing up and, sorry but watery stools!
So now I'm back to square one with 3 different lots of meds on top, shaking and dehydrated, just to name a few! I'm losing the will to fight anymore

I am a fit, healthy 28 year old guy who has spontaneously developed severe high blood pressure, temporal pressure headaches, dizzy spells and blocked ears. The symptoms vary, with acute periods lasting a couple hours and occurring on a weekly basis. Generally an acute period is characterized by severe headaches, needing to lie down, blocked ears and extreme lethargy.
I have had CT’s and MRI’s of the brain and cervical spine, PET scans, ECHO’s, a multitude of blood tests and various other tests with no abnormalities.
I gym 4 times a week, eat healthy and work as a hairdresser, so my lifestyle is pretty healthy overall.
This condition is starting to limit my lifestyle and with two years of no answers I am putting it out there for someone to recognize or provide advice about what could potentially be going on!

View 1 RepliesBlood Pressure :: Diltiazem Raised Blood Sugar (diabetes 2)
I was on diltiazem (cartia) for several years. It eventually raised my blood sugar level and I was diagnosed with diabetes 2. My blood pressure was not going down, so they took me off diltiazem 240mg, and put me on lisinopril 5mg.
The lisinopril gave me a dry cough, so I was put on losartan 25mg. I asked why not 5 mg and my NP told me because it doesn't come in 5mg....
Hypertension :: Reducing Blood Pressure By Donating Blood
I gave blood mid January 2014 after registering some high blood pressure readings ( systolic up around 155) and reading saga study results suggesting benefit. I had previously tried reducing this through more exercise, and eating more healthily. Initially after giving blood the systolic remained elevated at 160. However it later reduced to 135. Three months later my BP is around 88/138 - so still a little on the high side, but still much reduced from the elevated levels previously.
Also taking CoQ10, but not eating a very good diet.
Anyway - just for those who are interested giving blood (especially for men who drink too much), can help.

View 4 RepliesBlood Coming Out Of Penis While Urinating
I had some blood come out of my penis when urinating. I had ejaculated the night before, woke up to go to the toilet and felt a burning feeling that I sometimes get when urinating after ejaculating. But I was half asleep and therefore involuntarily held back the urine because of the burning sensation that was a little worse than usual. And then something popped or broken near the tip of my penis. That caused an immense amount of pain and some blood to come out when I continued urinating. It still hurts now later in the day when i urinate, but hurts a lot less now.
View 1 RepliesHemorrhoids :: Blood Coming Out At A Sizable Amount
I am bleeding sizable out of my anus every bowel movement, it's freaking me out. I'm still trying to recover. How should I approach toilet breaks im general? Keep passing stools even as I bleed a considerable amount without a care?
Just a bit of background, I'm currently 18 and male. Since the issue I have right now is more than likely haemorrhoids, I think it's also important for me to say that my granddad died from cancer (specifics which I do not know) but my mum has told me he used to go to the toilet and lose blood to the point of passing out during his battle with cancer.
A few weeks ago, I started to notice small patches of blood on my toilet paper as I wipe, I paid quite little attention to it at first but was absolutely shocked when once, blood started coming out along with the stool. To describe, a line of blood would follow the walls of each stool and blood would drip out from my anus and change the bowl of water into red. The blood is also bright red. There was a slight sting as the stools moved.
I approached my mum who's a trained pharmacist and she diagnosed me with having internal haemorrhoids since there weren't any physical bumps along my sphincter muscles and decided to put me on a good diet. I'm now having quite alot of vegetables and eating a good 8 or so nutritional tablets such as omega oil as an example.
But the problem still persists and I'm still seeing blood. literally in the way I've just described, the problem hasn't returned to its previous condition of just a patches on tissue.
I am absolutely frightened to even use the toilet and it's getting to the point thinking about it makes my heart race and my knees weak. Imagine going to the toilet itself. It's bothering me both physically and mentally. To make things worse, I have my high school finals in just about a week from now!
How do I go about this problem right now? Should I just keep passing stools even when I see blood coming out at a sizable amount?

This lasted for about 7 days and now the spotting seems like it's getting heavier. Like it's real blood coming out and it doesn't look like spotting to me. What could this be? Could I be pregnant?

View 1 RepliesMen's Health :: Blood Coming From Penis Shortly Before Ejaculation
I am 14 and started masturbating at around 12. I used to do it every day but I have recently narrowed it down to maybe skipping a couple of days between every masturbation. I have never had sex or sexually interacted with anybody else. I cannot pull my foreskin all the way back.
Around 1 hour ago I was masturbating and was very close to ejaculating. I then realised that there was a ring of blood around the edge of my foreskin and on the head of my penis. I then almost instantly lost my erection but carried on masturbating but was able to ejaculate without an erection. Like I said, I can't pull my foreskin all the way back so I wasn't able to find out the cause.
Since then the part around my pee hole has turned red and swollen into a point. This is the first time both of these have happened
Also, since I started masturbating my penis has curved to the left into a weird shape.
Are any of these anything to worry about. I am scared to go to the doctor as that would mean discussing it with my parents and I don't feel comfortable doing so
