Y52: Agents primarily affecting the cardiovascular system
Y52.5: Other antihypertensive drugs, not elsewhere classified
The ICD-10 code Y52.5 refers to health conditions caused by the use of other antihypertensive drugs, not elsewhere classified. Antihypertensive drugs are medicines used to treat high blood pressure. However, like all medicines, they can occasionally cause certain side effects or adverse reactions. These reactions might include dizziness, headaches, fatigue, or more serious events such as kidney damage or irregular heartbeat. The specific symptoms can vary greatly depending on the particular drug that's been used and the individual's overall health, age, and other factors. The condition could occur immediately after starting the medication or it could take some time to develop. It's critical to monitor for any unexpected or unusual symptoms while on these drugs and report them to the healthcare provider promptly.
