CARVEDILOL vs DAPAGLIFLOZIN

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

I’m honestly so happy I’m not even sure how I feel. Back in July I unexpectedly found out I was diabetic after finding a high amount of sugar in my urine and being urged to go to the ER for immediate bloodwork. I’ve been put on 5mg of Farxiga (dapagliflozin) the last month or so and have been keepi

I used to take Xigduo and it was covered just fine on my previous insurance, but then I lost my job and had to get a plan off the healthcare marketplace. They have a fairly large deductible for prescriptions and charge coinsurance on name-brand drugs, so even after using a manufacturer's coupon I'd

So I just got my first CGM and I'm loving it! Previously, I was finger pricking and noticed that my waking BG was always higher than it was the rest of the day. I suspected Dawn Phenomenon, as it would be 120 odd and then settle down to 80-90 throught the day, with the odd spike upt to 120-140 after

I know 6 days is a small window, but hear me out. Diabetic for 9 years. Maintained it below 7 till 6 months back. Met with accident on 6th Oct, thumb got amputated just below nail. Found out during surgery blood tests Hba1c was 8 ( stress and stress eating in last 6 months pushed it up). Surgeon s

Hi, my dad (58) was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes almost a year ago. My dad drinks alcohol occasionally and is a non-smoker. Last December 6, 2024, his HbA1c increased from 7.5 to 8.1. We were a bit complacent with my dad's diet, and as a family of 5, we also had some lapses. We want to be stricter

Hi everyone, well I had a terrible year last year which brought on a huge amount of stress, due to mental health issues with my daughter and also working in a high pressured environment. I am a self-employed consultant so I have to work as I am the main breadwinner for the family. My diabetic contr
