Candesartan vs CARVEDILOL

Update: we met with the cardiologist today. She has put through a referral for an urgent CT angiogram but is worried it might take 2 months, so if she can’t get it sooner, they’re going to do a regular angiogram. Also referred for a cardiac MRI and has a holter monitor on. Hoping these tests will

At first I was very biased because I thought maybe I am just overexaggerating a bit. However, the longer I started taking this magnesium supplement, the more I started to realise that this stuff is legit. It has gotten to a point where I don't even experience a severe headache anymore when having a

I had physiotherapy for two years, giving me massages, exercises and dry needling. It sure did improve my health situation, but I noticed that it only had a temporary effect. The therapist then finally suggested me to see a neurologist. Since then I got diagnosed with "out-of-the-sudden" chronic mig

NOTE: Progress updates posted below the main post. I am 59, my wife is 57. We met with Dr. Alan Green in NY on Thurs., and return home next Wednesday (we live in Honolulu) when we will fill our Rapamycin prescriptions (Sirolimus) and begin our program in earnest. Along with Rapamycin, we both curren

(female, 24). 173 cm, 56 kgs, smoker (nicotine). For the past seven years I have been getting what several doctors have diagnosed with “chronic migraines” on a daily basis although the severity changes. A migraine. Every single day. For 7 years. No treatment is working. So you can imagine my desper

BELGIUM (West-Vlaanderen) My wife’s suffering from migraine since 2018. No pain relief found, on the contrary, quantity and intensity raises by day. Since 1st January 2026 she had 3 pain free days in 50 days… average pain index 6-7/10 (not able to function, in bed or zombie). Last 2y she’s working

Is there any clinical reason to use two ARBs together ? (i.e. candesartan 8mg + valsartan 40mg). I can wrap my head around ACEi + ARB combo for extremely resistant and maybe it helps some minority of patients. But this makes no sense to me.

Don't downvote this to oblivion like other comments I've made on this subject in the past. I'm merely curious. I hear all the time that drug prices in the US are really exorbitant in comparison to other parts of the world. So I just wanted to gauge the price between where I am in Australia and the U

I guess I'm a member of the hypertension club now? I woke up after only a few hours of sleep with a fullness feeling in my chest. Went to the local clinic and they did an EKG. Told me to go to the ER right away. Now I'm on Carvedilol. Can't go back to work until my blood pressure stabilizes at a low

I have been on Valsartan 80MG once a day Carvedilol 6mg twice a day I started back in late may. And OMG I’ve felt out of reality. I’m clumsy now. I can’t focus. I’m sluggish. I’m always tired. People talk to me and I have to force my self to focus. I am not myself no more. I used to be aware. Sh

Hi! I'm a 41 y.o. woman who's had high blood pressure since I was 20. Although I am genetically predisposed to the condition from both parents, I also spent many years being very unhealthy and sedentary. After my weight increased to around 320 pounds and I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I finally d

For context, I was initially in the ER back in June for a hypertensive crisis (post is in my profile). I've been on Carvedilol and Amlodipine since July, and my blood pressure has been relatively stable since. But this is the first time it's been this high. I took my temperature and it was 97.2, so

I have hypertension since I’m a kid, it came with my kidney disease which became end stage kidney disease before I turned 16. I had periods after started dialysis when I didn’t needed BP meds but in the last 6 moths it was horrible, 195/120 in the morning many times. I took 10 mg Amlodipine and 5 mg

Hello everyone! I just got home from a doctor's appointment due to some back pain. Like always, whenever I'm in the clinic, my heart cant stop beating and I'm very anxious and nervous for no reason. When the doctor took my BP, I told her that I'm feeling nervous. She told me to relax and I tried. Th

So last year I managed to hit 220/120 with a panic attack. In the hospital, I seemed to hover around 180/100 when I was discharged. Heavy drinker, eating terrible, very overweight, and under-medicated. 8 months have gone by and I've lost 60 pounds, been far more aware of my salt intake, cut out alc
