Question: Hi, I am 25 years old. I am taking "olmin 20 a "for high bp.
I have started working out. I had joint pain in the knee and elbows after I increased the weights by little. Doctor gave me calcium supplements that have reduced the pain but it still exists.
I take endocal d everyday.

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be due to Olmin.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
See, this seems to be due to weight lifting and exercise. Since you have recently started workout so such kind of joint pains are due to that only. They are very common when you start workouts.
This is not due to Olmin.
However, this pain should settle within 10-14 days. Even if they persist after that, then I would advise you to get Serum Uric Acid done.
I don't find any reason to worry.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Dear Friend.
Still Olmin 20 a is not going to cause joint pains.

Brief Answer:
Share your reports with me.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
I want to see your all investigations once to comment further. Since you are very young I need to evaluate the causes of young Hypertension.
Also your reports would help me to find out other causes of hair loss. Olmin might cause hair loss, but not very frequently.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
