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 n tn I just got my weekly checkup and there saying i have high blood pressure. What can i do to change that and make it normal?
Avatar f tn I have been on sodium for high LDL for about 3 months. About 6 weeks ago I began seriously working out again. I had bloodwork done that showed very high enzymes (about 1500 when normal is about 400 from what I'm told). This test was days after a very heavy leg workout. My Dr wants me to discontinue the sodium and workouts until more tests get do e in a month. I would like to continue lifting. Am I at risk for any major problems if I continue working out?
698356 tn?1240150727 As far as living a healthy lifestyle I've got it. I haven't been able to exercise as much as I wanted while I was incredibly fatigued, but I'm picking that back up. The thing is that for nearly a year I've had blood pressure that is all over the place. I think it was 140/105 at the dentist on Thursday. It's got to be secondary in nature. I'm 26, eat incredibly healthy, have good weight and BMI (I'm a size 2 or 4). I can't go on blood pressure meds.
Avatar n tn Then about 6 months ago when i was at the Dr. I had high blood pressure (138/88). My Dr. told me to watch my sodium and i had blood work taken. The blood work came back normal and I have been really watching my sodium. It hasn't gone down. What could be the cause? My Dr. asks if i have shortness of breath and I don't, but I just feel that something is wrong. My father had heart problems/stroke but never had high BP. Am I just being paranoid?
Avatar f tn You can try drinking water with fresh lemon every morning...that is a natural way to deal with high blood pressure...worked for me!!
Avatar m tn Both your creatinine and sodium are high. High creatinine indicates a possible kidney issue. High sodium level is hypernatremia and indicates an electrolyte imbalance. Do you have potassium results, as well? You may need further testing to determine the cause of your high levels. Low luteinizing hormones may indicate a pituitary or hypothalamus issue. Further testing may be required. Your TSH is great, but your FT4 was WAY too low.
Avatar f tn Yesterday I had an appointment and my blood pressure was high (143/80) at the beginning of the appointment. My doctor took my blood pressure again at the end of the appointment because I've never had a high blood pressure reading before and it was 130/93, so still high. Today I'm doing a 24 hour urine test to make sure my kidneys and liver are functioning properly. Has anyone else had this situation? I'm worried about having preeclampsia along with gestational diabetes.
Avatar f tn Anyone dealing with high blood pressure? They say to relax to lower it but how can you not worry about it? Any tips?
Avatar f tn All my doctor said was to have a low sodium diet. Anyone else that can relate or has an issue with high blood pressure ?
Avatar m tn I have a high blood pressure and I have been to both an endocrinologist and an otorhinolaryngologist several times within this month. What is the most likely reason I have the high blood pressure? Hashimoto disease the endocrinologist said or my nasal septum's fault which is not straight and my otorhinolaryngologist said? I have done a load of test if you need any further details.
Avatar f tn Went to my Dr today nd my blood pressure is still high its been coming out high since I was three months..He said if it keeps up I could go into birth earlier than what I'm suppose to im six months, is there anything I could do so it won't be so high.

Let me know what you think.
Avatar n tn Ok so i have never in my life had high blood pressure. I went to see my obgyn August 29 everything was fine and i went in September 26 and they said my pressure was high and i might need to be on medication. But i go back in two weeks because my doctor thinks it was because i was nervous or anxious. So in two weeks if its still high i have to be on medication.
Avatar f tn So yesterday I went in & had high blood pressure for the first time, they did a non stress test & everything was ok but they want me to come in every week instead of every two. I have issues with anxiety & with under 9 weeks to go I'm starting to definitely feel the pressure! Any suggestions on how to keep my blood pressure in check? Ftm & need to stop worrying!!
Avatar f tn Watch what you eat, limit your sodium intake. The sodium can make you retain more water which can increase your bp.
8594632 tn?1410183693 Definitely agree with adding some sodium to your diet. Increased sodium helps raise your BP. Talk to your dr about a recommendation for the amount you should try increasing to.
Avatar f tn I have just been diagnosed with dangerously high blood pressure. It was 220/120. I am taking Losartan HCTZ 25 mgs and just added is Amlodipine 25 mg. I have been taken medication since Aug 012 with little success. I am very stressed and just started with a counselor to help with with tramatic experiences that I have gone through as a child and stress as an adult. I have never used a salt shaker, I've never smoked or ever drank alcohol.
Avatar f tn So today I had an appointment at the clinic and my blood pressure was a little high, they're making me do a 24hr urine collection & I'm getting another test to see if I have diabetes in 4 weeks. Has this happened to any of you mom's?
Avatar f tn I had an appt. today as well as was told I had high blood pressure. I was 145/85 (I think the bottom number was 85, I could be wrong, but 145 top number for sure, stupid pregnancy brain) I was told I'm a bit swollen around my ankles and peed In a cup and my results came out negative for preeclampsia, thank goodness, but they want to check again on my next weekly appt. If I still have high blood pressure and possibly do blood results If I have a neg.
Avatar n tn Mine still around 100/60 so far, but I also drink a lot of water and have a fairly high sodium diet to begin with due to having the issue before pregnancy. Most of what I've heard always revolved around high blood pressure. Thanks--it's nice to know I'm not the only one.
10064121 tn?1415176073 The evening one is fairly high. Were you active before taking it or did you eat something high in sodium?
Avatar f tn Your bottom number is a little high but not horrible! I am 35w3d and I have had constant high blood pressure since 26 weeks. Its always around 165/94. Since its been constantly high, I see my doctor every thursday for an ultrasound to check the babies heartbeat and fluid, a non-stress test, and a chat with my doctor! I also go in every wednesday to do blood work to check for preeclampsia. This week will be my 4th time doing it.
