Avatar n tn This is the first time I have been on blood pressure medicine, and the drug has worked very well in terms of my blood pressure itself. I take my pressure at home with an electric blood pressure monitor and I now average about 130 over 72 to 75. My question is, are there side effects associated with lowering blood pressure that much that fast? The reason I ask is that I feel as though I do not have good circulation in my feet.

280692 tn?1277105942 I had an enlarged heart 7 years ago due to high blood pressure, and becuase the heart was pumping against high resistance the over worked heart dilated to compensate. Medication lowered blood pressure, the heart responded with a reduced workload favorably and returned to normal size. Your echo test will provide useful information regarding heart chamber size and the heart's ability to adequately pump blood into circulation to meet the oxygenated blood demand.

Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn There are a few things that you can do to increase your blood pressure to see if it makes you feel better (of course, be sure your blood pressure isnt high before doing any of these). The easiest thing to do is to drink a ton of water, 4+ liters a day, this will build up your blood volume and your blood pressure, I always feel better when my pressure is 100/60 as opposed to 70/30.

1251922 tn?1269981784 If you go from a sitting position to standing, the blood pressure will increase, and physical exertion as well. Anxiety can cause a spike in blood pressure. Sometimes an increase in blood pressure is not known...and I assume you have excluded smoking, drinking alcohol, etc. There could be hyperthyriodism.
548642 tn?1266179652 Hey Rocker, You mention a blood pressure med called Micardis, I thought someone on this board said they were taking blood pressure meds while on TX. I may be looking to treat soon and I just started back on Micardis. I have boderline high BP so I could stop if it is not recommended. Do you have a link I could refer to about the meds you posted about?
Avatar m tn My father (54 yo) has been diagnosed before with heart enlargement in around 2015. His blood pressure, cholesterol level and uric acid level were quite high at that time ( i don't know exactly how high was it). Then he came to see the doctor and the doctor gave him medications (one of it called 'micardis'). After since, my father blood pressure and cholesterol level turned normal but the uric acid is still a bit higher than normal.

Avatar f tn In a recent issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, Benetos and colleagues[1] reported that the control of systolic blood pressure was more important than the control of diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive men. They further stated that diastolic blood pressure was of little value in predicting future cardiovascular risk.

1204020 tn?1493698890 Blood pressure can fluctuate; yes, including high blood pressure. High blood pressure can also cause headaches, feeling of "crap," etc. How long has it been since you were diagnosed? I am sure you got the message about the smoking and being overweight. Are you not taking the medication? I didn't really understand if you are or not taking the blood pressure medication. Side effects of medications are things THAT CAN happen not ARE GOING TO HAPPEN keep that in mind.
172715 tn?1285494490 Should I stop taking my blood pressure medicine if it seems under control when I miss a pill? I forgot to take my pill one morning and went to a doctors appt. in the afternoon. My pressure was 118/78 which was normal. How long does the medicine stay in your system if you stop taking it or forget to take it. Without it, before I started any meds, my pressure was usually 142/94. I have chronic pain, depression, HBP and I am 75lbs overweight (and more chronic illness') .
Avatar m tn I am 20 years old eight months pregnant and after suffering from extream heat issues and light headiness i was told to check my blood pressure which was at 147/35 than checking my heart rate was at 103 per min. Is this within normal limits or should i be concerned...or is this natural at this stage of pregnancy.
Avatar f tn The benefits of BP meds could outweigh any risks of high blood pressure. I know that I will have to take BP meds when im pregnant. You should really consult your physician to see if this applies in your case. Aldomet is a BP med that is considered safe in pregnancy. I was on BP meds when I miscarried but had nothing to do with it. BP can be a serious problem in pregnancy and should not be ignored.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Atenolol 25 mg twice daily and Micardis 20 mg once daily. It's my fertile time. We had a mishap with a condom last night and I am concerned that I could become pregnant. Is the medication a concern, or should I contact my doctor?

Avatar f tn hi...his triglycerides are very high. I cannot diagnose him because im not a physician. But as far as I know, if your father has a blood pressure of systolic >130 and diastolic of >90 for a very long time, it can cause damage to his vital organs. His is not overweight. Based on his lab results, his triglycerides are very high, it should be 40mg/dl. You should be able to know his cholesterol level.
Avatar f tn s not super high but she put me on 81 mg baby asprin instead of blood pressure medicine. That is supposed to help keep it under control. She also gave me this special meal plan. You should ask if they have anything like that available for you.
Avatar n tn Read the prescription of the medicine you are taking. Birth control pills could cause some problems especially if you are 35+, smoking, over weight, not active, bad diet, or if you already have blood circulation problems. Before you start taking them you need to make sure you are healthy. And you need to get detailed instructions from the doctor who prescribed you these pills, let him know about you symptoms.
Avatar f tn t get it and try not to stress it raises your blood pressure, did they put you on a blood pressure medicine to lower it?
