I'm sorry to hear about the swelling in your face. Swelling, especially in someone with high blood pressure, can be concerning and may have several causes. It could be related to your blood pressure itself, side effects of medications, or other underlying conditions such as fluid retention or an allergic reaction.
Since you mentioned high blood pressure and based on the medication information related to Coralan (Ivabradine), which is used for heart conditions, facial swelling could potentially be a side effect or a sign of an allergic reaction. Coralan's known side effects include tiredness, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, and in rare cases, swelling of the face and lips, which requires immediate medical attention.
What you should do:
Prompt medical assessment is important to determine the exact cause and to prevent complications. Please consult your cardiologist or a doctor as soon as possible. If symptoms worsen or you have trouble breathing, call emergency services immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Since you have high blood pressure and are experiencing face swelling, please provide your age and gender for a more accurate assessment.
