CARVEDILOL vs Losartan

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

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 a 32M and went almost my entire 20s not worrying about or even checking my blood pressure. When I was 30 I began having tachycardia episodes with high blood pressure readings which I had to go to ER for 3 times in a period of a few months with my readings at around 190/100 I got on losartan 100

Today went to see my cardiologist and no longer need to take losartan nor atorvastatin ! Got to a healthy weight and good diet that he said I no longer need the medication. Hopefully I can stay off it from now on. Im 5,8 went from 225lbs down to 185, eating a lot of food with high sodium to no/low

Hello all. I’ve been diagnosed with hypertension since 2021. I take losartan 12.5 mg 2x day, hydralazine 100mg 3x day , Carvedilol/coreg 25mg 2x day, amlodipine/norvasc 10mg 1x day (mornings), aspirin 324mg 1x day and a vitamin b12 as directed by my doctor. Yesterday I stood up and went into the kit

Hi, how is it going. Today I'm officially off blood pressure meds completely. With lifestyle changes, low sodium diet, low sugar, aerobic exercise and weight loss. I had blood pressure in the 170 to 180 systolic in January of 2025 after heart surgery on November 2024. I was 230 pounds and am current

I wanted to share with this group since I’ve gained so much value from this forum. Sometimes I think people don’t share their positive results enough, and it can really skew people’s ideas of what medicating hypertension will be like. I put off getting medicated for 15 years. My story was basically

I take 100 mg of Losartan daily, but before meds I was easily in the 140-150/90-100 range. Even after taking medication I was usually in the 130/90+ range. My resting heart rate used to sit at about 110 too. I felt like shit and my bod was so tense. But recently I stopped drinking and smoking and be

25M. When I was first diagnosed with hypertension (late 2022), I was hesitant to start any synthetic medication. I tried the “natural” route first — mainly beetroot juice. It did help a bit, but having to constantly buy, wash, cut, and juice beets was too time-consuming with my schedule as a univers

My blood pressure (seemingly) started giving me problems beginning of this year and I was put on losartan 50mg. I take that once a day and it seems to control my BP well (below 130/80). However, in the 4 months I've been on this medication, I've noticed when I'm on my period, my blood pressure shoot
