Re: High Blood Pressure...ARBs..NEED ADVICE

[Guest guest]

Amelia,

According to last week's edition of the New England Journal of Medicine,

the ARB candesartan is the only drug that has been carefully studied for

the treatment of diastolic heart failure. So it's a little hard to

imagine that it could contribute to low cardiac output. I think Cheney's

concerns are about something else.

Hello..

Please read this link:

http://www.dfwcfids.org/medical/cheney/heart04.part2a.htm

This seems to indicate that ARBs are not a good choice..does one

understand this to mean it could contribute to LOW CARDIAC OUTPUT?

and, apparently, no one knows about what it would do to A/2. Am I

reading this, correctly?

....I have been on Micardis, as I have HIGH blood pressure..also, HIGH

heart rate (docs have never given me anything for this, although I

have had this for years)

I need to take another class of Anti-hypertensives, but I have

trouble with the Beta Blockers...

Has anyone, had this problem? or knows about it? and can advise me.

to Katrina...None of my mail, to you, has been deliverable,

today..but I am getting your mail.

TIA,

Amelia

Dear Tim...

Thanks for that..I have been searching for that article, but cannot find,

but a small summary..

I am on Micardis (Telmisartan) ..Was Candesartan the only of the ARBs that

was mentioned for diastolic heart failure?

Now, I could not tolerate Benicar (ARB), at all...but my tolerance level for

Micardis is good.

Please could you post that article, anywhere, on this board..as that is

important to all CFS/ME patients, especially, since this is a part of CFS/ME, as

delineated by Dr. Cheney.

THANK YOU,

Amelia

I believe he was addressing the high dosage of ARB's used on the

Marshall Protocol, not just that class alone. But I could be wrong.
