I understand how concerning these symptoms must be. Your blood pressure remains elevated, and your TSH of 6.43 indicates a mildly underactive thyroid. This thyroid imbalance can indeed contribute to high blood pressure?especially the bottom number?as well as morning headaches and heart fluttering. While you are taking losartan and Cilacar (cilnidipine), your blood pressure regimen may need adjustment, or your thyroid may require mild treatment to help bring these numbers down. Please share these home readings and your TSH result with your doctor soon so they can safely optimize your medications and help you find relief.

Could my daily weakness, extreme tiredness, stomach upset, and hand shaking be side effects of taking Propranolol, Etizolam, and Cilacar, even though all of my heart and blood tests are normal?

Yes, these symptoms can indeed be side effects of your medications. Propranolol and Cilacar can commonly cause fatigue, weakness, and stomach upset. Etizolam can also contribute to tiredness and weakness, and hand shaking can sometimes happen as these medications interact or wear off. Since your heart and blood tests are normal, it is highly reassuring that your body is physically healthy. Please do not stop these medications suddenly. Do share these details with your doctor, who can safely adjust your doses to help you feel much better.

What should I do if my blood pressure has risen to 140/100 and I have a mild headache after temporarily doubling my Cilacar dose to 20 mg (which caused a fast heartbeat) and then switching back to my usual 10 mg dose, while also taking Thyronorm 125 and atorvastatin?

Adjusting your cilnidipine (Cilacar) dose can cause temporary fluctuations in your blood pressure and heart rate. A blood pressure of 140/100 mmHg with a mild headache is elevated but manageable. For now, please rest in a quiet place, stay hydrated, and continue your usual prescribed doses of cilnidipine 10 mg, levothyroxine (Thyronorm), and atorvastatin. Do not make further dose changes on your own. Please monitor your blood pressure and contact your doctor soon to safely optimize your treatment. If you experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, or a worsening headache, seek immediate medical care.

Could taking Viagra 100mg within two hours of my blood pressure medication Cilacar (while also regularly taking Ramipres and Zabesta) cause my current symptoms of an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, and numbness in my left hand?

Taking sildenafil (Viagra) within a short window of your blood pressure medications?cilnidipine (Cilacar), ramipril (Ramipres), and bisoprolol (Zabesta)?can cause your blood pressure to drop significantly. This interaction can lead to an irregular heartbeat and shortness of breath. However, because you are also experiencing numbness in your left hand, it is incredibly important to be safe. Please seek immediate medical evaluation or visit the nearest emergency room right away. Doctors can easily monitor your heart and blood pressure to ensure you are safe and get you feeling better quickly.

Can any of my medications?Metosarthan, Cilacar, Stanlip, or Nurokind G?cause me to feel dizzy when I lie down, change positions in bed, or try to get up, especially since I have been resting in bed for a month with a slipped disc and recently started taking blood pressure medicines for the first time?

Hello. It is very common to feel dizzy when changing positions, especially now. Your blood pressure medicines, Metosarthan (telmisartan/metoprolol) and Cilacar (cilnidipine), can lower your blood pressure when you move. Additionally, Nurokind G (gabapentin) can contribute to dizziness. Resting in bed for a month also makes your body temporarily more sensitive to these posture changes. To stay safe, please rise very slowly. Sit on the edge of the bed for a moment before standing. Please consult your doctor to review your dosages, as simple adjustments can help you feel much better. Rest well!

Why is my blood pressure starting extremely high at 200/78 right after kidney dialysis and then dropping to 160/70 a few hours later, and could this or my daily medications?Cilacar, Arkamine, Dytor, and Minipress XL?be causing the severe muscle cramps I experience during my treatments?

After dialysis, rapid shifts in fluids and electrolytes can cause your blood pressure to spike and then drop, which frequently triggers severe muscle cramps. Your medication Dytor (torasemide) is a diuretic that can also contribute to cramping by lowering fluid and electrolyte levels. Other blood pressure medicines like Cilacar, Arkamine, and Minipress XL work alongside dialysis to manage your heart, but timing them around your sessions is crucial. Please discuss these symptoms with your nephrologist; they can adjust your dialysis fluid removal rate or fine-tune your medication schedule to bring you much-needed comfort.

Since I had a procedure to open my blocked heart arteries (angioplasty) in 2017 and currently take Cilacar for high blood pressure and Crevast 75/10 (after stopping Ecosprin 75/20 due to nose growths and sinus issues), how often should I get follow-up tests like a heart rhythm test (ECG), a treadmill stress test, a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram), and routine lab tests if my recent results are all normal?

Since you are stable, a standard follow-up plan typically includes an annual ECG and routine blood labs (to monitor cholesterol and kidney function while taking Crevast and Cilacar). A heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) is generally recommended every 1 to 2 years. Routine treadmill stress tests are often not necessary if you have no symptoms, but may be done every few years. Please discuss this with your cardiologist to tailor a schedule just for you.
