CARVEDILOL vs VALSARTAN

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 think this past year has been the worst year of my life. In January I had a hypertensive crisis and checked into the ER with a BP of 213/110+ I’m pretty sure I was walking around like this for months not knowing it until my body told me something was wrong. Got put on Amlodipine as a first line me

Saw my Dr. on Jan 5 and reviewed my BP trends since October. He agreed to let me stop the drug. I’ll continue to track one because I dropped a load on a smart BP monitor, also to see if I do need to restart down the line. This is really exciting for me, I got more active over the course of 2025 an

I’ve been on a beta blocker since I was 25 (I’m 42 now) and my doc added valsartan about 3 years ago during the pandemic (during which time I was under a lot of stress and drank more alcohol). During the worst of that time I probably drank 10-15 drinks a week. Never been overweight, though, and regu

Started going to a new cardiologist for HBP three years ago. Initially he put me on Valsartan, but switched me to Lorsartan (you know, because of the whole rocket fuel thing). Then put me on a mild dose of HCTZ. Then about three years ago, he put me on carvidelol (the beta blocker). Long story short

Hi all, Writing for support. About 2 months ago I went to an unrelated GP appointment and a routine BP reading was taken. My BP was 180/120, several more were taken and it was still the same. I’m 27 female, 60kg, exercise regularly (mostly weights not cardio). I was quickly seen by a cardiologist an

A while ago I was put on Amlodipin and ended up in the ER after all bowel movements stopped.. according to my Dr, that was a very rare side effect he had personally never heard of. A month ago I was at the Dr office again after a few months without meds and my BP was 160/100. I was put on Valsartan

A few years ago, I went for a checkup during a time of high anxiety, I was even having panic attacks randomly and having insomnia. Obviously the readings were high 145/95 and was prescribed with valsartan. After that I got treatment for anxiety, and feel a lot better but now I am affraid to leave

Hi everybody I have tried all these three Losartan, Valsartan, Amlodipine. They all make me feel dizzy, stressed out, worried and depressed. Have someone had the same issues? Don’t know really what to do. I felt my health has really decreased since started on BP medicines. Thanks to all.God bless e
