Stop Alfuzosin

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

You seem to be having allergic reaction to alfuzosin. Stop taking this medicine hence forth.

How are you feeling now? Is the symptoms still present?

If breathing difficulty is still persisting you need to go to Er and get treated with Injection medicines ( Anti histaminics and steroids ) But if there is no problems presently then take an appointment with your doctor and ask for an alternative for Alfuzosin.

Continue taking Carvedilol Hydrochlorthiazide.

Thats ok, Drink plenty of water , take more of citrus fruits and go out in fresh air and take deep breaths.

Also get your Blood pressure checked as sometimes allergic reactions can bring down the Blood pressure . If it is normal then continue taking Carvedilol Hydrochlorthiazide.
