Avatar m tn Said EKG may show inferior ischemia and at the time my blood pressure was 210 over 130. Gave me Ativan for stress...before I left blood pressure was 140 over 85 and another EKG was better but still showed abnormality. Stopped drinking, smoking all together, working out more, lost weight (was 190 now 175), eating better. Past two weeks have been complete Hell. Couple Sunday's ago I was working out caquse I always do it for a stress relief.
Avatar m tn t remember the bottom number but is was 80 something) after giving me a shot for a headache I had and a Ativan pill. I felt better. They said everything was fine and sent me home. But how do I know I'm fine. They didn't check my bp before I left.
Avatar n tn You don't say how long you were on it, but no, it won't. Make sure whoever helps you taper off the Ativan if you've been taking it daily for a long time knows you're an individual, not someone else, and does the taper as slowly as suits you until you've successfully gotten off of it. Also, high blood pressure can be caused by stress though it can also be caused by diet, lack of exercise and other lifestyle choices, genetic problems, etc. But stress doesn't help any.
Avatar f tn Any tranquizer will lower your blood pressure but if its high you should also be on a blood pressure pill. I am on atenolol with a water pill.
1577415 tn?1296778210 Deep breathing will help as well. Both with anxiety and blood pressure. I was on high blood pressure medications, 4 of them actually after I had my daughter. But I worked hard to not need the meds anymore and now no meds and I my BP avgs. 100/60.
Avatar n tn This morning I woke up after not sleeping much with a feeling of dread and took it and my pulse was OK but my blood pressure was still 145 over a bottom number I can't remember but it was OK (70s or 80s). Last night was even stranger in that my top number was 145 but the bottom had gone down to something in the 60s. I am going to make an appointment with a cardiologist on Monday but I am worried I am not safe until then.
Avatar n tn There are no drug interactions with Ativan and bisoprolol. However, the Ativan may cause some low blood pressure. I am curious… why are you taking the bisoprolol if you have low blood pressure and a low heart rate… seeing as it can worsen both of those??
Avatar f tn I was in the dentist office yesterday going to have an implant put in my mouth so they took my pressure and of course it was high. I tried to explain to them that this always happens when I have it taken but unfortunately they couldn't do the procedure. Their going to call something in to relax me before having it done. I wish there was a way that I can get over this fear.
Avatar n tn The frustration lies in the fact that I normally have a low blood pressure, and have had pre-hypertensive levels for the past few months until I went on Ativan. I kept telling them that my head felt like it was going to explode. They ignored that as if it meant nothing. My neck would ache straight up to my temples. My eyes feel heavy like I am sleep deprived all the time and the vertigo and memory issues are so annoying.
Avatar f tn hi,My DR,switched me from ativan to xanax on this past Thurs,I feel kinda more depressed and nausted,He also gave me Effexor 75 mg to take i took it on Friday and i dont know if it was the mixture of meds but my blood pressure dropped as well as my heart rate dropped,usually when i was on ativan heart ratewas in 90s it is in the 60s now,Im so afraid i havent taking another effexor,,,,i take the xanax because my anxiety is bad but i feel so emotionless has anyone taking the combination and how di
Avatar n tn Did they run a fasting plasma free metanephrines blood test to rule out pheochromocytoma? Did they do a holtor monitor? Did they do orthostatic blood pressure and pulse rates? Did they do a tilt table test to check for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (P.O.T.S.)?
Avatar f tn I take Toprol for high blood pressure and I checked some drug interaction websites and they advise that Paxil and Toprol can have some kind of interaction with your heart so I'm thinking I have to use a different anxiety/anti-depressant medication or else switch my high blood pressure medication. I have a call into my doctor about the BP meds but I was wondering if anyone has any good experiences or recommendations as to a good anxiety medication.
Avatar m tn Im on 10mg of lisinapril for my blood pressure which if i take every other day my bp stays normal. My uric acid levels are high,colesteral high, but Im eating better and they are coming down quikly. I just got over my first case of gout last month, so i changed my diet. I have been to my family doc and he sent me to a noroligest who wanted to put me on anxiety meds like cymbolta. I have a feeling this is more then just anxiety.
Avatar m tn I HAVE NORMAL READINGS OF BLOOD PRESSURE AT HOME WHEN IN A RELAXED FRAME OF MIND BUT i GOT A HIGH READING AT THE DOC. OFFICE A YEAR AGO AND THE NURSE SCARED ME,saying are you feeling okay your reading is high, I totally panicked.
Avatar m tn Careful going off atavan...i had blood pressure issues when i stopped it (high).
1106222 tn?1258110636 My appointment went well other then a high heart rate...I think it was 112. She did blood work and everything was normal. This past Friday I started with chest pain neck pain back pain and pain in my arm all on the left side. I has not went away it may have eased a little but it is still there so yesterday I went to the ER when I got there my heart rate was over 100 again. They did more blood work,an EKG,chest X ray and a pelvic exam. Everything was normal.
915119 tn?1341948989 if your blood pressure is too high it restricts the blood vessels and can stop baby from getting enough blood and oxygen. if it gets extremely high it can cause seizures. are you seeing spots or having blurred vision? I agree with bjbbeauchamp, try nor to stress! and if it goes up any more then go to L&D! its better to be safe than sorry! I have had HORRIBLE swelling in my legs for months now, but no protein in my urine until the other week.
Avatar n tn I am 35 years old and never thought I had HIgh Blood pressure until recently. As I am into my higher studies, when visiting the doctor for a fall, they told me I had high pressure readings of 160/110. My pulse was also high, ( I was diagnosed with tachycardia some years ago which was again put down to stress.) They put it down to anxiety and stress, and gave me atenenol 25 mg. Since then I have developed a fear, and my pulse raises whenever the doctor checks my pressure, and my pressure is high.
Avatar f tn 2wks tomorrow since surgery and still have tingle in feet and hands,and blood pressure still not going down,was 146/97 today. I just dont understand to be like 97/72 up till i fall asleep for surgery and to wake up this high,and stay that way. Dr says he dont know what to do next,what it could be. I know this cant be good to go on now with this high of blood pressure and nothing done about it. I dont know where to turn to next.
Avatar m tn 4 years ago after the birth of my child I was on 4 different medications. Today none, and my blood pressure is 100/60. All the ideas mammo gave you on exercise, low salt diet and more is what helped me get off medications and get my BP back on track. It isnt good to walk around with uncontrolled blood pressure so for sure get in as soon as you can and get things sorted around with your doctor.
Avatar f tn I have had high blood pressure my whole pregnancy, often as high as 170s/100. I was put on meds and told modified bed rest last week at 35w5d. Ihave not had to do urone collection as when it spikes they make me come back the following 2days for checks and urine samples. If it os still high this week at my 36w5d appt while on the meds i think they will probably put me on full bed rest until i deliver.
Avatar m tn I am a 58 year old female and my question is about high blood pressure and sex. While I understand blood pressure rises during sex I wonder if it is normal to get a sudden onset pounding migraine. This is new the last two times at climax. I was curious and checked my blood pressure the last time and it was 160/88. The headache is sudden and severe and remains for hours after. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Avatar f tn I went in at 35 weeks and 4 days and my blood pressure was high and they gave me meds and did a 24 hour urine test but during the night, even on the meds my blood pressure got to 180/110 and they c sectioned my baby that day.
Avatar m tn my girl friend just went to the doctor, they took her blood pressure and it was 210 over 110. she is 53 and is all ready on procardia. they toke it four times and it stayed that high. they just gave her a scrpit for linsinaprel and sent her home, was that the right thing to do.
