Hello Everyone,

 

I have to questions:

 

Question 1

 

Can you recommend a good Doctor that will work with me to regulate Hypertension Drugs.  I need someone that can explain and take the time to work with me.

 

Seen recommendation for Dr. Aram Chusid he has canceled the second appointment with not wanting to take Hypertension patients.  Who do I go to.  I have gone to two other Doctors and they are of no help they don't take the time.

 

Question 2

I am on Candesartain Blopress 8mg been on this since Aug 1, 2016.  I started with 4mg and went to 8mg been on it for more then 5 weeks. 

FYI: Also, on Singulair 5mg twice a day and Loratadine 10mg twice a day for allergies and asthma. Self prescribe.

 

Patient

51 years old

 

Symptoms

Hypertension

Tinnitus

Numbness burning sensation (not sure how to describe it) in legs/ankles/feet at time.  Sometimes troubles walking.

 

The Loratadine made the Tinnitus drop in volume and sometimes it's gone.  Also, helped with the numbness.

Recently, tingling in hands and feet at times.

 

1. Could Blopress cause Tinnitus to get worst?  I had it before taking the Blopress but it was random now it's more consistent.

2. Do you need a Blood Test with Blopress now and then?  Tingling in hands and feet at times potassium deficiency????????

3. My Blood Pressure hasn't dropped that much what is my next step.

 

Thanks

I suggest you consult this American doctor, one of the few Western doctors licensed to practice in Thailand. He is a GP and as from the sounds of it, you have multiple problems, a good GP would be best place to start.

When I first retired here in Thailand, I was on two different blood pressure drugs and a blood thinner. I felt like hell all the time. A friend of mine wanted to take me to see his heart doctor at Bangkok Pattaya hospital. He made the appointment and the doctor checked me out and asked me what I was taking. I showed him the three drugs. He looked at them and told me that he advised me to throw them away. He prescribed a 20 mg Enaril and a baby aspirin a day. He made me another appointment for a week later. I felt better within two days. My blood pressure was well controlled and I have felt fine since.

 

I don't remember the name of the drugs or the name of the doctor.
