Doctor, doctor, gimme the news...
Mar. 24th, 2006 02:02 pmAnd the news is: yet more meds!
In addition to a course of Prednisone to knock off any inflammation due to the recent cold/bronchial mess, I will now be regularly scheduled on:
Caduet 10/10 - (Norvasc/calcium channel & Lipitor/cholesterol)
Accuretic 20/25 - (ACE Inhibitor & diuretic)
Allegra 180mg - anthistimine
Toprol XL 50mg - beta blocker - he avoided this before because beta blockers tend to make breathing more difficult, but BP is not where it should be
Advair 250/50 (corticosteroid & bronchial dialator)
Flonase (nose spray stuff)
Albuterol (bronchial dialator/rescue inhaler)
Prilosec 20mg or Zantac 150mg (acid reflux) - anyone have a preference for one or the other? I'll be picking it up about 3 hours after I post this, so act now! =)
The doc was not happy that neither the breathing nor the blood pressure showed vast improvement, so, drop the Astelin, add the Allegra, Toprol, and Prilosec/Zantac and follow up in four weeks. If things aren't much better, I'll get sent to an allergist.
