Candesartan vs METOPROLOL

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

Male , 26. So I had a bit of a shock yesterday. Went to the doctor for a regular check, they took my BP three times within a few minutes: 153/100 165/103 145/95 The doctor immediately prescribed me 25 mg metoprolol. But here’s the confusing part — at home I’ve been checking for the past 1.5 years, a

I have been working on my hypertension since 2019 when at a company health check my BP was 170/110. I am on metoprolol and htcz. I white coat quite badly but I'm working on that. Today at the office reading came in 115/70. Felt good to find the right doses.

I’ve had hypertension since my early 20’s and was initially prescribed lisinopril and later perindopril (both ace inhibitors) to control it. My numbers were usually “ok” with those meds, but unfortunately I developed the ace inhibitor cough and asked my doctors about alternatives. He originally pu

My last few doctors appts I’ve had high blood pressure and I chalked it up to white coat hypertension. And then it happened again so I opted to start tracking at home. Unfortunately it was high at home. I am overweight (I need to lose about 70lbs), but I’m only 32. I also have HORRIBLE anxiety abou

Quick background: For the last several years, I (33m, 6'2", 235 lbs) had been on different combinations of lisinopril (with and without HCTZ), amlodipine, and metoprolol and my pressure was generally in the 140 - 150 / 100 - 110 range. Couple months ago, I went to a new doctor (old doc moved away) a

I’ve told my friends and my partner and they understand a little but I just wanted to share with some people who have had similar experiences. I’m 33 and have had blood pressure problems stemming from a shitty diet and alcoholism. Despite that, I somehow have managed to stay an ok weight at 200lbs,

Hi everyone! So this is more of a venting post. I’ve had high bp since I was about 22/23 when I was pregnant with my first son (I’m 36 now) so quite a while. It runs pretty deep on my dad’s side, so yea, here we are. Anyway, my bp has been pretty difficult to manage since my last pregnancy (2020) an
