Perindopril (8mg) for high blood pressure

Everything has gone well through the years. This is definitely something that i want more of but i can't. Probably has something to do with old age.

Perindopril (8mg) for heart attack

The cardiologist prescribed me perindopril after my heart attack in 2010. I've got to keep taking it. I haven't noticed what it's doing and I haven't had any side effects.

Perindopril (2mg) for heart pain

I have gotten Perindopril after an open heart surgery (2x bypass). A little tickle cough, about two to three times a day, for half a minute. And in the morning when waking up a very dry mouth. Keep it full.

Perindopril (8mg) for stroke

I had a cerebral haemorrhage on 7 Feb 2013 as a result of long term hypertension. I was immediately started on Perindopril in the hospital. I've been using it now for around 3.5 years and I haven't really had any issues with any side effects whatsoever. Occasionally, at night, a dry cough for around 5 minutes, but I had that now and then beforehand anyway. I take this together with a water tabl...

Perindopril (10mg) for high blood pressure

they told me that I had high blood pressure, which meant I had too much protein in my urine so I had to start taking perindopril. I also have some kind of coating on my kidneys because of protein. I have tonnes of problems with side-effects. I'm a 31-year-old woman and the side-effects are making me feel so much older. I've always exercised a lot but now I can't manage it. I'm still trying to c...

Perindopril (2mg) for atherosclerosis

After I'd had an angioplasty and was still having problems, like my heart sounding hollow after exercise, I was prescribed this medicine by the cardiologist. When I went to get it from the pharmacy, I heard from one of the assistants that one of its side effects was a dry cough, and I'd be lucky not to develop one. I didn't get any kind of cough but after I'd been taking it for 15 days, the pen...

Perindopril (4mg) for high blood pressure

I have been using this medicine for a while now and I am very happy with the effect, my blood pressure is back to normal. What I do find quite annoying is the dry cough I have regularly, is lasts for a few minutes and then it's over, but if I could be rid of it for good...

Perindopril (5mg) for high blood pressure

My cardiologist prescribed this medication to reduce my blood pressure, but it's not working. I haven't been able to reach my cardiologist to discuss it so I reduced the dose by half off my own back. When I did reach him on the phone, he was quite happy that I had halved the dose on my own initiative. The symptoms didn't disappear and then he prescribed me another medicine that had same side ef...

Perindopril (8mg) for decreased heart rate

Dry throat, tremor in my lips, erm... tense in general movements, tinnitus. These things have come down a bit now. But the specialist knows about the side-effects. What I struggled with most is that no one was honest with me about them. It's the kind of thing you find out when you start using it. In fact they often leave you worrying about 3 or 4 medicines. It's not such a big deal now but… It ...

Perindopril (1,25) for stroke

Had a cerebral infarction, since using these pills haven't been able to get an erection, verrrrrrry annoying indeed. Does really help to bring blood pressure down. I'm going back to the specialist for other tablets!

Perindopril (2,5mg) for high blood pressure

after one tablet I felt really bad. My blood pressure increased, couldn't swallow any more, it seemed like my throat was numb, had a hot flash that lasted a couple of hours, so after one tablet had enough.

Perindopril (4mg) for high blood pressure

I feel really faint on this medicine, feel like I'm walking on eggshells and there are small red flecks on my skin. These tablets came from Poland.
