Is High Count Of Eosinophils Dangerous And How To Reduce It?

Mine is the case of Hypertension,for the last 10 years and I am on mediction since then,The medicines prescribed by the specilist doctor are Atenolol 25mg,Amlodipine 5mg,Envas 10mg and Hydride 12.5 mg.The BP was under control.During the recent annual blood check-up,the Eosinophils count in the blood was found to be 18%.Then the specilist changed the medicine Envas and prescribed Lossartan 50mg.Will this medicine really reduce the eosionophilis level. Occasionally I suffer from cold and sneezing.Is the high count of EOSINOPHILIS really dangerous for the health and the above medication OK, or any change in medicine recommended?

Hi, you are suffering from eosinophilia. your blood pressure medication is ok no need to change in that. There are many causes of eosinophilia like allergy,asthma, hypersensitivity, parasitic infection, drug indued etc. Your cough may be due to drug side effects. and doctor already changed that.you may have some allerg. So if not treated then you can take antihistamines or steroids for that according to your doctor's advice. But high eosinophil count is not dangerous or not an emergency conditions so dont worry, just relaxed it will come down to normal.
