Ramipril blood pressure
Common Questions and Answers about Ramipril blood pressure
altace
Angiotensin II causes muscles in most arteries, including the arteries of the heart, to contract, thereby narrowing the arteries and elevating blood pressure. ACE inhibitors such as ramipril lower blood pressure by reducing the production of angiotensin II, thereby relaxing arterial muscle and enlarging arteries.
In the kidneys, the narrowing of the arteries by angiotensin II decreases blood flow. ACE inhibitors enlarge and reduce the blood pressure in the arteries going to the kidney.
It is giving me nothing short of severe chest pains and is actually putting my blood pressure up. Generally speaking my blood pressure is perfect before ramipril (120/80) and always around 150/90 within an hour of taking it. I cannot convince either of my consultants or my GP of this - my GP is claiming I have anxiety issues that are affecting my blood pressure readings.
He has been put on medication which consists of CORTISONES, RAMIPRIL, LASIX and many other medications to reduce the protein, cholesterol, blood pressure etc and some Magnesium for his cramps. He has blood and urine tests every month which so far are showing a small sign of improvement.
He too was told that he could eat anything as it makes no difference, but he does try to avoid red meat.
I am 68 and taking 1.25mg Bisoprolol for high blood pressure and can't increase because of low pulse rate. I was also taking Ramipril but developed the terrible cough. My doctor agreed to me trying without this for a month. Two weeks in my BP is mostly between 125/67 and 159/75. The problem is that it does sometimes go higher and when it gets to upper 160s I get irregular heartbeat. I take garlic and Co enzyme Q10. What is the solution?
4, the nexrt test was 5 he was okay about it, four weeks ago was put back on high blood pressure tablets but prior to starting them they carried out another Kidney blood test and four weeks later l was told bp down to 134/84 on 5mg ramipril but the blood test four weeks ago was high again and has to be repeated.
An incident five months ago started me monitoring my blood pressure regularly. The same incident (atrial fibrillation) resulted in the discovery that I had high blood pressure. I am now taking Ramipril to reduce the HBP. A few days every week I stop in at one of the many local pharmacies in the area and take my readings.
These pharmacies almost all use the same monitor - the Lifeclinic/Vita-Stat LC300. Safeway uses the PharmaSmart PS-1000. They are all pretty consistent, one-to-the other.
are you a smoker? this can increase blood pressure. Blood pressure does naturally increase with age as the Arteries harden but there is a lot of medication which can
help with this, such as Ramipril. Tiring easily can have hundreds of causes from
lack of sleep to a lack in minerals in the blood. Maybe you should have several blood
tests first to see if you are lacking in something, which in turn is causing blood pressure to elevate.
I take ramipril for my blood pressure.
Thanks for your reply. I was put on it due to diastolic dysfunction. They think as i was taking beta blocker and this that also lowers bp plus another of my meds etc was in the mix too.
I too had a dry cough.
But now ive stopped it its the funny feeling im getting.
Plavix works much like a blood thinner to keep blood cells from sticking together and forming additional clots. The Metoprolol and Ramipril are both used to control your blood pressure by slowing down your heart rate and keeping your heart from being "over worked". These can be difficult to get used to and can cause fatigue, dizziness and a feeling of being disconnected.
My high blood pressure was just 150 last year during the physical examination. Before that, my HBP was about 130. A doctor said I got hypertension. Since my high blood pressure just reach 150, I would like to know how I can effectively treat or control the hypertension, medicine, exercise or what else? My weight is 183lb and I never smoke. I have no other disease. Thank you for your answer.
Im not certain how you think the blood pressure medication is affecting your diastolic pressure? I'd have to assume that you understand that it should be lowering it and perhaps your question is if youre having some paradoxical response. Have you had a stress echo. Any family history of heart disorders. Any secondary causes of hypertension at such a young age. Certainly you may be experiencing a response to the anti hypertensives.
You state what your heart rate is now, but what about your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is high and is then put to normal, your heart will not have to work so hard to push blood around your system. However, I had very high blood pressure for years and was also put on Ramapril. My blood pressure was higher than yours and I was on 5mg daily which seemed to be too much, it was reduced to 2.5mg. The only way to establish if the dosage is incorrect is to get your blood pressure measured.
