Common Questions and Answers about Antihistamine and blood pressure medication
antihistamine
I am allergic to the drugs used for controling blood pressure and prior to this successfully lowered my pressure by exercise and diet.It is normal for me to have a reading of 130 over 80. I am 59 years old. I weigh 110 pounds. I am 5 foot 6 inches tall. My exercise routine is rigorous. I exercise one hour a day, 5 days a week. I watch my diet, never smoked and drink low alcohol level white wine daily. Both of my parents had high blood pressure.
20 years old is young to already be on blood pressure medication. Has your doctor done lab work and imaging to find a cause for your elevated blood pressure? Are you overweight or obese? You are currently taking a class of medication called a beta-blocker. The side effects you are experiencing are very common. I would ask your doctor about switching you to a different class of medication like a diuretic, ACE inhibitor, ARB, or calcium channel blocker.
I would personally look into the natural ways of doing this, at least research them, as medication for high blood pressure, as with so much medication, can have consequences that are as bad as the high blood pressure, such as pulmonary problems. Again, as always, we have to do our homework and then make a choice.
Keep a morning evening record of your blood pressure for a few days. If your blood pressure remains high after medication, then there are two possibilities. Either the medication is not suiting you. OR there is some underlying cause which needs to be eliminated.
Sounds to me like you don't need blood pressure medication. I was put on it one time during a stressful time in my life. I resolved that and now I dont take anything. Have you tried not taking it and seeing what your BP does? Might be the wrong medication for you.
Last week I ended up in the ER because my BP was higher than usual (146/96), even after taking my daily medication. My blood pressure is usually 117/70 and heart rate in the low 70’s. They ran all the usual tests like ekg, chest scan, blood work, etc. All came back fine and went home. The following day everything was fine but one day later my BP began to creep up again. I called my doctor and she instructed me to take half a dose between the full dose.
For the past few months I have had a sensation of fullness in the face in the cheekbone area and behind the ears and eyes. When I lay on my side I have a feeling of pressure on my eyes. My MRI came out negative. This is driving me crazy. I feel like I have a lot of fluid in my head but I am not blowing anything out of my nose. What could it be?
My medication is Diovan 160mg and 12.5 mg valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. And yes this was a typo should read 121/71
This whole thing drive me crazy---- blood pressure keeps going down as I further into the squash game --- then I get dizzy.......
A sudden drop in blood pressure due to medication can cause headaches for a few days while your body adjusts. If it persists, I would do as alleycat2 suggests, ask for a different brand.
I tried to donate blood today and I was not allowed to because my blood pressure was too low. It was 80/44, they checked it three times. My pulse was 68. Is this something to worry about? I will schedule a checkup with my doctor, but I thought i'd find out what you all think. I'm gave blood about 6 months ago and everyhting was fine.. I'm trying to think of what I have changed in the last 6 months..
my mother was asked to stop taking plavix by her cardiologist and since then has had severe headaches and increased blood pressure. She is already taking 2 blood pressure medications to control blood pressure, micardis and nifedipine xl. Do you think her increased bp is due to her coming off of plavix? She does have a pace maker and stints.
I am 17 weeks pregnant and this week my OB prescribed Labatelol for my blood pressure. He said it's a low dose of 100mg twice a day. My blood pressure hasn't been horrible as I do check it at home often. I feel like it's only when I go in to the office that it is high. Has anyone taken this medication during pregnancy?
The more you can control your anxiety the better (I know, easier said than done) but therapy would help you as well as medication. You want to keep your blood pressure under control, every day it is up, it is doing damage to many of your major organs and will catch up with you. Do deep breathing exercises to help with your anxiety, and with personal problems, sort out and accept the ones you cannot do anything about. Then work on the ones you may be able to improve or change.
Blood pressure that has been ranging from
110/70 to 115/75 which is your case, is not something that you should worry about.
The normal according to American Heart Association is less than
120 mmHg for systolic (upper number) and less than 80 mmHg diastolic (lower number).
However, if your blood pressure goes lower than 80/50 mmHg, accompanied by dizziness, you should be concerned. Hypotension happens when your BP is lower than 90/60 mmHg.
