Asked for male, 40 years old from Kolkata

I am a 40 years old male, weight: 51 kgs (ht. 5 ft 3 in). I am having high blood pressure since last 03 years. Presently under medication of cilnidipine 10 mg + nebivolol 2.5 mg once daily and my blood pressure is normal. But my serum uric acid often gets elevated for which I take febuxostat 40 mg. My cbc, lipid profile, liver panel, serum na, k values, fasting & pp bs, serum creatinine are all in normal range. Ecg impression is also quite normal, though 2d-echo shows mild left ventricular hypertrophy with diastolic dysfunction. My physician is advising me to switch to losartan 50 mg + cilnidipine 10 mg. What should be the best treatment for diastolic dysfunction/lvh? Should I switch to losartan-cilnidipine combination?

Dr. Jatin Goel87%(35 ratings)

General Physician•Faridabad

Yes you can switch to losartan and cilnidipine.
Losartan has benefits in reducing uric acid also. It will control bp and prevent remodeling of heart too. Adding cildnipine will further help to control bp by dilating blood vessels and reducing work load on heart.
The mainstay of treatment for lvh with diastolic dysfunction is ace/arbs, diuretics, ccbs and beta blockers!
beta blockers may later be added if needed!

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. As regards your blood glucose control, it is excellent. In such a situation I do not see the need for any additional medication like pioglitazone half tablet twice a day. As regards bp and changing to benidipine it may be in your doctors judgment that drug could be more suitable to you. I really have no say on that. However, I do not see any reason for adding pioglitazone with metformin when you have such a good control. Thanks.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) is a digestive condition that can cause a bubbling feeling in your chest. When you have gerd, stomach acid flows into your esophagus tube. The stomach acid can cause a burning pain in your chest called acid reflux.

Hi. I'm a 37 years old female. I began having high blood sugar in dec 2019. Am taking metformin, losartan, and famotidine. Every morning i'm experiencing stomach cramps with very foul, yellow diarreah. Also extreme thirst. I'm drinking 2-3 gal of water per day & at least 3 qts just overnight. My blood sugars are in a normal range, but I am still thirsty. Also have not menstruated for 63 days. I've done multiple pregnancy tests. All negative. I'm 5'10" tall. Weigh 220. I eat a healthy diet, lots of veggies, protein, low carb, nearly zero sugar. Seldom eat out, no alcohol or cigarettes. Maybe one diet soda a week. I have always been healthy so i'm really struggling now to find answers & my doctor seems at a loss.

These are symptoms of irritable bowl. Metformin may cause these symptoms. I would recommend to reduce dose of metformin to half of what you are taking. Do not take soda based drinks as it worsens irritable bowl. Try to reduce and gradually stop metformin by following strict diet and exercise. Also I would recommend you to check thyroid tests. Also try to avoid wheat/ maida completely for one month from your diet. This may help you. If still you find problems, please consult some other doctor.

Asked for male, 59 years old from Vadodara

For the last 5 years I have been taking the medicine for controlling BP. Every after 3-4 months, I use to meet Doctor for check up. My BP is maintained on in the range of 135-140 by 85-90. Initially high BP was detected in the range of 170 by 95, which has come down and was well maintained. But in the last two visits on April 15 and Sept 15, the BP measured and found 150 by 90 and 170 by 95. I found LTK H, Stamloveta M and Ecosprin was the most suitable combination for myself, since during that period BP was found very consistent. Lastly till Sep 4th, LTK 50 and Crevast 10 had been continuing, but today it has been changed to LTK 50, LTK H and RXor 10 since BP found high today. So I feel the urgency for second opinion / advice online. I never smoke, drink, but eat fish daily, and chicken maximum twice in a month and mutton very rare.

Dr. Radheshyam Majumdar

Your bp seems to have controlled earlier group of med. So you neednot change losartan with stamlobeta, if at all needed you take enam 5mg at night it will have good controlling effect.
