That is the reason you are unable to keep the eyes open . IIH may not lead to high blood pressure but the raised blood pressure may be due to the stress because of headaches . Please consult another neurologist for the management of the symptoms . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !

Orthostatic hypotension is when your blood pressure drops suddenly and can cause fainting. When your blood pressure drops your heart rate should increase (sometimes dramatically) to compensate for the decreased blood flow. Beta blockers keep this from happening in some people so they will pass out or get dizzy upon standing or anything that lowers the blood pressure (cause the heart rate is blocked).

Prednisone would raise your blood pressure (blood sugar, etc), and that in turn could cause headaches and other symptoms. It should reduce the inflammation on your face, but alas, pred can have quite a few side effects.

) Her ocular pressure was actually only slightly elevated and with cessation of the Topamax, her pressure returned to normal in a day, while it took over a week for her vison to return to normal. It was extremely impressive the way the lens moved forward initially. After a week, the lens moved back to normal position and the eye looked completely different as if from another person. It was really something I will never forget.

Increase in blood pressure may be caused by a variety of issues as well such as underlying condition and from physiologic causes like sickness or from physical exertion. Regular Blood pressure monitoring and low salt diet may also help. Tale care and do keep us posted.

I just have occasionally high blood pressure. Believe me I am as confused as you. That is why I am asking if it is okay to take Topamax for my migraines and Norvasc and Cardizem for my heart. I haven't spoke with a pharmacist as of yet. I will pick up the Norvasc today.

I am 32 and have suffered from migraines for about 3 years. They started pretty much out of the blue, however, a lot of people in my family suffer from them. I have tried nortriptaline, amitriptaline, verapamil, all without success. The first two didn't do anything for my migraines, and the verapamil made my blood pressure so low I couldn't function.

In my case, it did work well and Topamax brought my pressure down. It had an added benefit with headaches that I have as a bonus.

Does anyone else have the same symptoms? I have high hopes that Topamax will help with my extreme daily headaches and moderate depression.

clonidine (it's actually a blood pressure medication) is typically used a lot for opiate wd's....it works because during wd's, your blood pressure tends to rise and you get uncomfortable symptoms, and the clonidine helps your blood pressure return to normal....only thing to watch out for is if your blood pressure is NOT that high, because then the clonidine can make you very dizzy, lightheaded and woozy....

Good to know...he put me on a steroid called prednisone for 10 days then taper off. because he says since I have all this inflammation my body and the surgery it could cause a sudden climb in the pressure. He said if steroids don't work he still try diamox then shunt I an already on topamax. I got my medications adjusted correctly because of it, so it was a blessing in disguise. How dangerous is a shunt? What additional complications does it bring?

Then the tech came in and took his blood pressure and it was 66/20. So they pumped fluids and got it back up. But meds are causing him to fall because is BP is getting so low. But we have found a place to go to get him off the fentanyl and get back on the right track.

This is the SECOND time I've had a migrane in which a blood vessel in my gum ruptured. Though this time not as bad. I have gone to my health provider about these migraines. CT looks fine. Though the cyst I had when I was a kid is gone. Another troubleing thing is when this happens my right eye the site always screws up. (Should also note she had the cyst on the right side of her head) Now I was told the cyst was supposed to never go away it was just a underdeveloped part of my brain.
