Hi, My father is suffering from systolic hypertension. He is diagnosed 3 years back. The hypertension history is first he was given with amlodipine+valsartan 5/80 mg (exforge) before sleep when he take that medicine his systolic blood pressure become normal but diastolic decreases to 50 or less then the medication was changed and he started with amlodipine 5 mg (Norvasc) before sleep but the problem remains same then the physician changed it from 5 mg to Amlodipine 2.5 mg (Lodopin) before sleep but the problem remain same and there was no success. We were referred to cardiologist who after taking the echo and ecg said that he is having no cardiac issues and suggested losartan 50 mg (eziday) before sleep. Now with this medication the issue is that his diastolic comes to normal if he takes medicine but systolic is going high up to 175 - 185 then he changes it to valsartan 80 mg (diovan) before sleep but the problem remain same with this medicine but the slight change that appears is his blood pressure remains normal till mid day and after mid day it starts going up and till night it again reaches to 165-175. I want to ask is there any solution for the above case. Your response will be much appreciated.

Go back to amlodipine. Keep systolic BP less than 150. Ignore diastolic BP. Measure his BP only once every two weeks on fixed dates after resting for ten minutes. Completely avoid measuring at any other time.

It is one of the angiotensin receptor blocker used to treat hypertension. Other medicines of this group are telmisartan, olmisartan,irbesartan, candesartan,losartan etc. You can replace valent with any of these after consulting your doctor.

The bp may fluctuate every day and so cannot be strictly controlled. Think of the normal range - 110/70 to 130/90. Take the bp medicines as prescribed along with proper diet and daily exercise.

Stop taking if a particular item is not suiting you. Better to avoid alcoholic beverages for your future wellbeing.

Fractures of hip bone is a surgical emergency. Sooner it is operated, better it is.

Yes valsartan can be used in the place of telmisartan.
It's available in strengths of 80 mg /160 mg.
I recommend 80 mg to start with.
