AMLODIPINE vs Candesartan

35 male with high BP my entire life Been on it for 1 year and 5 months. Started at 5 mg for like 3 or 6 months then went to 10 mg. Seems I have a barrage of symptoms I’ve never had before in my life for the last 6 months. Extreme daytime sleepiness***** The chills like 15 times a day ***** Swollen

I was hungover, ate prosciutto, hands were shaking like crazy. I thought I'd measure it just for the fun of it. It wasn't fun when the numbers never in 10 measurement went lower than 210/120, going to the ER made things worse. It was all in my head. But we fixed it. Hell started. 2 months passed and

Just wanted to brag on myself a bit here. Since February I've been taking GLP-1 and I'm down 45lbs (247-202). My GW is 170 so I still have a ways to go but recently I've been having weird dizzy spells when bending down and standing back up. There are a lot of potential causes of course, but my BP ha

So I do not know exactly where to start, this whole process seems to me like an XXL episode of Dr. House with no end. So it all started with a head pressure about 3 weeks ago, I dont know exactly how to describe this I would not say that its a headache, much more like air is building up in my bra

Just found out that my father’s CAC score is 8000+. Cholesterol is 169. The score shocked me and I don’t know what to do. He’s scheduled for angiography in 1 week. I am concerned whether something could happen in 1 week… I live in another country and can’t get to him (no visa). He was told to take a

Update: we met with the cardiologist today. She has put through a referral for an urgent CT angiogram but is worried it might take 2 months, so if she can’t get it sooner, they’re going to do a regular angiogram. Also referred for a cardiac MRI and has a holter monitor on. Hoping these tests will

At first I was very biased because I thought maybe I am just overexaggerating a bit. However, the longer I started taking this magnesium supplement, the more I started to realise that this stuff is legit. It has gotten to a point where I don't even experience a severe headache anymore when having a

I had physiotherapy for two years, giving me massages, exercises and dry needling. It sure did improve my health situation, but I noticed that it only had a temporary effect. The therapist then finally suggested me to see a neurologist. Since then I got diagnosed with "out-of-the-sudden" chronic mig

NOTE: Progress updates posted below the main post. I am 59, my wife is 57. We met with Dr. Alan Green in NY on Thurs., and return home next Wednesday (we live in Honolulu) when we will fill our Rapamycin prescriptions (Sirolimus) and begin our program in earnest. Along with Rapamycin, we both curren

(female, 24). 173 cm, 56 kgs, smoker (nicotine). For the past seven years I have been getting what several doctors have diagnosed with “chronic migraines” on a daily basis although the severity changes. A migraine. Every single day. For 7 years. No treatment is working. So you can imagine my desper

BELGIUM (West-Vlaanderen) My wife’s suffering from migraine since 2018. No pain relief found, on the contrary, quantity and intensity raises by day. Since 1st January 2026 she had 3 pain free days in 50 days… average pain index 6-7/10 (not able to function, in bed or zombie). Last 2y she’s working

Is there any clinical reason to use two ARBs together ? (i.e. candesartan 8mg + valsartan 40mg). I can wrap my head around ACEi + ARB combo for extremely resistant and maybe it helps some minority of patients. But this makes no sense to me.

Don't downvote this to oblivion like other comments I've made on this subject in the past. I'm merely curious. I hear all the time that drug prices in the US are really exorbitant in comparison to other parts of the world. So I just wanted to gauge the price between where I am in Australia and the U
