Antihistamine raise blood pressure
Common Questions and Answers about Antihistamine raise blood pressure
antihistamine
So I had a recent doctors visit back in May and my blood pressure was 120/80. Not too shabby. At this point I didnt even know what blood pressure was but I knew mine was good. However now that I knew what BP was I, being anxious about my health, wanted to learn more.
So a month later I (and lots of anxious research later) I found a supermarket BP machine and got a reading of 137/80. Noticibly higher.
I'm 78, 6ft tall. weigh 210lbs, have hypothyroid (treated) and my blood pressure is 80/49 pulse 105. I'm very dizzy and light headed. How can I raise my blood pressure to more normal?
Yoga or exercise moves that put the eye inverted (think standing on your head) markedly raise the pressure in the eye and the blood pressure inside the brain. It is strongly recommended that glaucoma patients not do this and many MDs recommend people with high blood pressure or a family history of cerebral aneurysms not do this. It will also raise the tissue pressure so I would say you were upside down too long.
My blood pressure has gone up to 180 over 100. The only change I have made in my life style is to take Patanol eye drops for allergy eyes. I have been using them once daily for 4 months. Could it be that this antihistamine can be causing this increase in my blood pressure? 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.
Pain will cause the BP to raise. I have a friend who is in severe pain constantly and her BP went up to 240/120 at one point. Needless to say, she went to the ER and is on BP medication. Under stress my BP will run around 160/100 when standing and dip to 139/89 when sitting. Since I'm always under stress, it's high. The doctors didn't seem too worried with these readings, although for me life style changes are in order.
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.
I'm a 38 year old female and have always had blood pressure of 117/74 or lower. The odd time it would be 120/80 but this was rare. For the last 4 days i've checked my pressure and it has been on average 129/76 (i check it very regularly at the drug store). I've very concerned that it is this high so quickly. I've always battled my weight and am currently on the Weight Watchers program. I don't smoke, don't drink and really don't have alot of stress in my life.
I think that if you always had a blood pressure of 90/60, you're blood pressure is perfect for you. Your diastolic number (60) get lower sometimes? If so, did you have some symptoms of low blood pressure like orthostatic hypotension when you are sit and change position to a standing one (symptoms like lighthehead, dizziness, fast pulse rate). Do you feel tired? If so, maybe your blood pressure is too low for you.
The phenomonon can be explained:
The initial visit to the physician's office is often the cause of an artificially high blood pressure that may disappear with repeated testing after rest and with follow-up visits and blood pressure checks. One out of four people that are thought to have mild hypertension actually may have normal blood pressure when they are outside the physician's office.
(Laying on your back during pregnancy compresses a blood vessel that causes your blood pressure to drop) This happens so often, it has me worried. What can i do to raise my blood pressure? It makes me so tired when i have these "episodes". I lay on my left side when it happens, to get my blood circulating better, and I've even tried elevating my legs above my heart. I also drink plenty of water, and I've even increased my intake recently. What can i do? And is it bad for baby?
Just being at the doctors office can bring on anxiety and raise your blood pressure. You will get a better idea of your true pressure if take readings a couple times a day over the couse of a month or so. I take my pressure three times a day and have for over a year. I am able to control it using diet alone. I find that knowing what my average pressure is all the time helps me make better life style decisions. There is a great web site that I use to log all my readings.
I'm a 37male and started checking my blood pressure at local pharmacy a few months ago. It is averaging around 168 over 95. The chart on the machine says that it is high. Should I go in or is it only borderline?
I had a physical about 3 1/2 years ago and don't remember anything then. I was in a for a procedure (vas) a year and a half ago and it was a slightly high but they considered it "nerves".
Thoughts?
I know in early pregnancy you blood pressure can be lower and as it goes on you blood pressure will get higher. With that said that is low and most people do not run that low. Do you know what your normal is? You should get that checked out because that can cause people to get lightheaded and dizzy. Hope this helps.
I am 53 years old.I checked my blood pressure more than 15 times during three days and got different readings . Everyday I get a range of 124/80 and 117/73. I discovered that I did not get the same reading over a lapse of time of 20 minutes. I concluded that my heartbeat rhythm is not regular and my blood pressure is not stable.
Is it tachycardia? and if so is it treatable.
