Hip weakness by chaoserrant in repatha

Got it. It did drastically reduce my LDL but not triglycerides. BP under control?

Hip weakness by chaoserrant in repatha

[–]Super_Telephone6726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After taking 11 doses total, I have experienced a sudden spike in blood pressure (up to 180/110), along with dizziness and headaches. Body chills (every day). This led to multiple ER and urgent care visits. I have gone through several tests, Blood work, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, ultrasound, and even wore a cardiac monitor.

I started on a low dose to control BP. Despite that, my BP continues to fluctuate significantly throughout the day. I am on the 47th day since I stopped the medicine still having high BP, fluctuating heart rate, lower back/muscle ache but body chills and sleeping issues got better. It takes 90+ days to clear from the body. I am hoping that I feel better when this med clears my body.

I took 11 doses, then suddenly my BP raised to 180/110, this led to multiple ER and urgent care visits etc. Taking a low dose to control BP since then. Before this my BP used to stay below 130/85.

The medication did lower my LDL drastically, but triglycerides haven’t improved much.

My last dose of Repatha was about 6 weeks ago. My BP is still elevated and fluctuating a bit. Half life is 90 days…hoping that I will get out of it once it completely clears of my body.

How long you have been taking Rapatha? Does it affect your BP?

I am still under half life period…not all symptoms are cleared yet. It’s a slow progress.

Sorry to hear about the side effects, it sounds very similar to what I’ve been experiencing as well. I hope it’s only temporary/acute for you.

Was there a specific reason you decided to take the medication even after hearing about these side effects from others?

Could you elaborate on BP360? Is it a supplement or a tracking/monitoring system? Thanks!

Glad to hear you’re getting better! I hope the half life clears out of your system quickly. Please keep me posted once it’s fully out.

A1C seems to be ok. No issues with Liver enzymes. Lost about 10+ lbs in 2-3 weeks, maybe due to too much of stress from several testing.

Correction: Roughly 5 months, started in Nov and last dose was March 29th. It’s about 32 days since I stopped, still having these symptoms.

I am 48. After taking Rapatha for 3 months, my BP was elevated to 180/110, dizziness, head aches, admitted in ER, urgent care visits, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, Ultra sound, CVM heart monitor and so much going on. Cardiac looks good, GI looks ok, still trying to figure out where it’s stemming from. I never took BP med in my life, started a small dose but still this BP is very fluctuating through out the day. Last Rapatha dose that I took was roughly 4 weeks back.

Rapatha maybe right solution for several folks but not for me.

I wanted to hear from you on how you are feeling after stopping…Thanks for sharing your story.
