Q: What could be a possible effects of aspirin and hypertensive medicine to our body ?
Sometimes I already want to stop taking plendil and aspirin because i am afraid of what maybe the effects of taking it,but I am also afraid my blood pressure might goes up high again.I am taking 2.5 mg only,Is there any other substitute?Please share.

A: Plendil (feladipine (R)) is a Calcium channel blocker and so should work well with aspirin. A contraindication (CI) for plendil is grapefruit juice- can increase risk of toxicity. Others meds are also CI, talk to your pharmacist. Do not suddenly stop taking either medicine. Increase risk of stroke and heart attack are associated with abrupt cessation of aspirin and would be likely with blood pressure medicine. Talk to your doctor about low dose aspirin. That would be 1/4 of an adult aspirin daily. Even though one adult aspirin (325mg.) is associated with low levels of side effects the lower dose may be just as effective at preventing clots through inhibition of platelet aggregation as the full adult dose. 325mg. daily probably has minimal to no anti-inflammatory effects so you won’t loose those. Talk to your Dr. or pharmacist and good luck.

Q: why does Plendil do this…?
i have been taking Plendil for a couple weeks.. and every time i take the pill, every single day, a few hours after taking it my knees burn so badly. they feel very hot to the touch.. and when i bend them.. like to sit cross-legged.. they feel really tight… like a rubber-band tightened… and its really uncomfortable.

i CAN’T call my doctor because Tricare messed everything up for me. i’m suppose to be trying this medicine out.. and im suppose to have a appt about now too… but like i said tricare messed it all up and i have to go in and talk to them… basically they didn’t send me a letter or call or anything and i go in to my last appt and they said that tricare moved me off base for my doctor.. ?!?!!! … so yeah… i have that to take care of now.. fun fun… i’m sure anyonwho’sos military understands how it ALL goes lol..

so, if your a doc, nurse or someone who knows about plendil please comment..

A: What you are experiencing in not a known side effect of Plendil. Call the pharmacy (any pharmacist will talk to you- it doesn’t have to be the one you dispensed it) and ask the pharmacist. This is just what we will get with Obama/Pelosi socialized medicine, so get used to the confusion!

Q: Does taking medicines for blood pressure for a long duration has any bad effect during latter part of your lif
I am taking Plendil 2.5 mg for the past 3 years and also my wife take codulous plus for the past 4 years and doctor advised us to continue and do not stop. Are these mediines safe and will this affect our health after 10 years or so

A: I think most of all you should be worrying what would happen if you don’t take your medication rather then the contrary. Also, always talk to your doctor if you feel you have not understood or need to clarify something, i am sure his opinion will outwiegh those that are given here.

Sure, like every medication there are possible side-effects. Plendil is Felodipine, a calcium-channel blocker used to treat hypertension and also as prophylaxis of angina. Since you have been taking it for 3 years i don’t think you have to worry about immediate side-effects like possibility of flushes, headaches, dizziness ect. Very rare complications can include gum hyperplasia and impotence, but the benefits far outwiegh the risk of these rare possibilities.

I am sorry but i haven’t heard of Codulous Plus, i do not think it is used in my country but every country has its own favoured regime.

What puzzles me if that you do not seem to understand the seriousness of having hypertension. This is not simply an “annoyance” to ignore and treatment for it is not an option. Hypertension is a major cause of vascular disease, cerebrovascular events, ischaemic heart disease, heart attacks and peripheral vascualr disease. It can cause significant morbidity and lower your life expectancy.

What you can do, to help your medications and lower your blood pressure naturally (although by no means stop taking your medications) is to lose weight, reduce alcohol intake to low levels and try to avoid stress as much as possible. Try to exercise daily, even an evening walk together with your wife, discussing your day together, can have a very beneficial effect.

Never stop taking medications without a doctor’s advice. Lastly, good luck :)

Q: What are the symptoms of high sugar levels?How to control without medicines?
I am 55 year old male started getting slight swelling on my foot and upon my checking my bood sugar I found them to be 115 on fasting and 160 after 2hrs of food. Is it a very abnormal level and should I see a doctor and start taking medicines?Can this be brought down by suitable food change? What are the foods I should avoid and which are the one I should take more? I get a pain on my foot after I get up in the early morning. I am a hypertension patient taking Plendil 5 mg every day for the past 7 years.

A: You could be diabetic or pre-diabetic. Foot swelling occurs sometimes with this.

The best way to cut down your blood sugar levels is to cut down on sugar intake…don’t eat raw sugar as someone suggested…that’s just plain dumb!!!

You need to cut back on all sugary foods…soda pops and candy especially. Greasy foods are also bad. Potatoes and rice are full of starch that can readily be turned to sugars in your body.

You can control your blood sugar with a healthy diet, but weight is also important…keep it down…

I would advise seeing a doctor. Your blood sugar level is high, but not critically drop-dead-tomorrow high. They have pills you can take to help bring the level down which is advisable before it becomes worse.
