Hi, I started taking cholesterol medication back in the early 90s and I was alright for awhile, then I started having slurred speech, funny things going on in my head and other things, and I thought I was having a stroke as they were stroke-like symptoms. The doctor had me have all sorts of tests and nothing showed up. I kept getting these symptoms off and on over the years and it concerned me, never thinking it could be the tablets. Then in around 2014 there was reason for me to believe that the tablets might be causing the problem, so I stopped taking them for awhile. There was such a huge improvement in my health that I could not believe, no more stroke like symptoms. Unfortunately, my doctor kept pushing me to go back on them eventhough I told her I was feeling a lot better. After six months I did, just to prove a point, and sure enough, all the symptoms came flooding back. Squilly noises in my head, squishing bubbly noises up the back of my neck, slurred speech, tired and so it went on. I stopped them immediately and I started to come back to normal. My doctor still thinks I should be taking them.

Polypharmacy. Where they add a new drug but never remove one from the medicatìon list, many old peole are on over multiple different drugs per day! These drugs are never tested for interactions. I spoke with a european hospital pharmacist some time ago who was working on a study of the effects of polypharmacy. To get into the study, the patient had to be on over twenty five different medications per day! Naively I asked, 'is it difficult to find patients for the study'? No problem, their are thousands of them! If they come after you with the cortissol tablets, run for your life.

In the US most people over 65 will be on some type of Medicare plan which will limit who they can see. In addition, most MDs are under time constraints and not necessarily versed in geriatric medicine. Most over 65s who have not worked in medical research or the health care industry in general will not know (or necessarily care to read) how to interpret studies. Yes, people should "do their homework" but this is more and more difficult in our mis/dis information world. When in doubt the best bet would be to find a doc who specializes in geriatrics.

Just keeping a watch on my PSA level.

[@jamesheikkinen9793]

De-prescribing meds is an uphill battle, as more and more doctors enjoy a financial relationship with big pharma. I had to change physicians as my previous doc refused to remove me from statins.

[@bethannhunt4695]

Thank you for this information. I love what you do.❤

[@robertbarnier45]

i never took meds cause whenever i got something prescribed i would get a reaction. well i have bp around 140/95 or 135/90 etc, anyways its higher when i go to doc for my 6 month 5 minute checkup. Well he put me on 2.5 then 5 mg amlodipine besylate. I feel tired in the morning and looks like slant eyes that don't look right . i am 68 1/2 and feel i don't need this rx and have cut them in 1/2 but don't see any difference when i take my bp. didn't take it last night and today i had 117/79 bp, wow i was surprised. wish i had you for my doctor

[@janeteddddd]

Your health..is in your control. Take charge or die. Iatrogenics ..medical mistakes.

[@laveraparato258]

My bp is always high at the doctor's. My doctor told me to keep a two-week chart of my bp every day upon waking up for 2 weeks. My bp is totally in the normal range by those numbers, so no meds. We have done this every year for the past few years.

My mom has white coat syndrome 😊. Always higher at doctors office.

I think your pressure is fine.

I'm 54. This is my conversation affirmed with a physician and gasterenterologist: "I understand now that your stomach cells are part of your esophagus due to acid reflux and the hernia, and that this issue has been progressively affecting your ability to swallow over the years. It sounds like it has been a challenging journey, especially with the complications stemming from the back accident and the subsequent discovery of your condition through various tests." Basically, I take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily in the morning. Otherwise, I will choke to death from not being able to swallow thoroughly after about 3 to 4 days, and also to help prevent any possible risk of esophageal cancer. Any knowledge and advice beyond this to share doctor?

[@jennyjessop576]

Nobody ever tells you any of this. So much happens to our bodies as we age. Thank you for your information that alerts us to these changes.

[@ZL54JK8]

Always such helpful advice from Dr. Dhand. I am so grateful to him.

[@19snoopy64]

Thank you for caring.

Also many older adults due to drastic loss of weight may be in danger if taking drugs in adult dosages.

[@lindaelston4728]

Thank you!!! I am 72 and noticed I have become a lot more sensitive to medications!!! I have a knee replacement coming up and plan on talking with my drs about pain meds Ill be prescribed! With any new med, if possible, I start with half a dose first to see my reaction

[@christinewells1539]

Brilliant advice as always!

[@wideawakenotwoke6178]

Thank you Dr ❤

[@ericlove2721]

Thanks for spotlighting this issue. As for me I'm already a victim of it.

[@anncox4445]

[@elisabethellis8851]

That's just a tip of the iceberg. In the past decade over 14,000 FDA approved drugs were recalled!

[@denisewittman975]

What good work you are doing. Thank you

[@SuperLuckyTa]

Thank you so much Dr. Dhand.

[@rost6583]

Thank you🙏

[@johnblackmore7102]

Thanks Doc 👏

[@silent1967]

Thank you Dr Dhand. I'm 64 and don't go to the doctor unless something is broke and I don't take any medications. Seems like everyone I know or work with, most who are younger and a few older are constantly going to the doctor and are on constant medication of many kinds. They tell me I need to go see a doctor on a regular basis. My reply is " and be like you, no thanks. " I would rather kick the bucket 🪣 first.

[@ParisianThinker]

Lucky me. Fabulous healthcare in France. Didn’t stick around for US profit care

[@upseventy8891]

sunil, i just wish you happiness and health for your kind work.

[@planetag310]

How many prescription meds could be replaced by exercise and a healthy diet?

[@davidhowell8178]

Thank you Dr Dhand .❤. good advice to take onboard ....I hope that I still have the mindset when I am 'offered ' such drugs .... or any ....I should have said ....😊

[@markokane6486]

Thank again Doctor.😀

[@JUSLUKING]

Here they are not. They just change the drug which is strong and they tell you come back will change it,,Yes they don't want to spend the time with you, Here in this hospital they are only allowed 15 minutes per patient.The want to know why you here, they only focus on why you came in,,,If you mention you another problem,, they tell you make another appointment,,

[@shaffehaffejee3657]

Sushmita: in the end WE ARE JUST A NUMBER, so do your research - listen to your body because you are your best doctor 😉

Sometimes a medication is must. But you do not need to take more , if possible. ❤
