Have patience and keep watching your bp. Take the medicines as prescribed by your doctor. Kindly read about healthy lifestyle changes and adapt the good habits in your daily life. You can also learn yoga (including pranayam and meditation) which can learnt from an expert to gain maximum benefit. You can add homeopathy which is safe and gentle and can help harmonize all systems of the body. You can contact me for a private consultation.

Dear lybrate-user. BP seems to be on higher side occasional. Reason of tachycardia can be due to thyroid or anxiety as well. Your BMI is high as per your age. You need to see your lifestyle. May be your lifestyle is sedentary and unhealthy diet. So if this is the reason improve your lifestyle.

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.

Your have not mentioned since how long you are having diabetes and whether your blood is controlled or not.
I think you should not stop medicines and can try other remedies.

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.

Stop taking Losartan and change to a safer drug by consulting your doctor. muscle cramps may be because of dehydration. So drink plenty of water and salts like common salt. Losartan has side effects on cardio vascular system. So changing the drug is more prudent.

Yes. Losartan can cause dey cough similar to ace inhibitors. This cough is more likely to occur in patients who had cough with ace inhibitor. For any advice to change medicine, full record needs review.
