Common Questions and Answers about Celexa and high blood pressure

celexa

Avatar n tn I had a similar experience with Celexa, which is a very similar drug (celexa is citalopram, lexapro is escitalopram). I also had low blood pressure (78/58 at one point), and worsening depression, which really wasn't helpful since that's what I was taking it for. I was only on it for 4 weeks though...
Avatar f tn I am a 4'10" 27 year old female weighing 102 lbs. I am prescribed celexa 40 mg and adderall 30 mg BID (2x a day) by the same doctor. Lately I can't sleep at night my blood pressure is high 130/90. My heart rate seems really fast. I've been twitching a lot, have hot and cold flashes, abdominal cramping, a lump on the back of my neck (right side), body is sore, frequent urge to urinate but hardly pee and my skin is warm to the touch. What's wrong with me?
2044839 tn?1331255841 When im on xanax it actully drops in to the 90s or high 80s i think it might be my anxiety/panic disorder but is this all possible? My blood pressure is a lil high on average around 130/85 usually around that area thoughts??? Thank you for replying.
1469430 tn?1289618090 I'm obsessed with my blood pressure. I can make it go up and down. And while anxious, I can make it go up to dangerous levels. My doctor prescribed citalopram and clonazepam (for short term and as needed while the celexa starts working). I'm afraid to go on a long term medication like celexa, but I'm wondering if I'm being too presumptuous in thinking I can get over this myself. The anxiety only started two weeks ago, and I feel like it's mild.
Avatar f tn I have been under a lot of stress lately, working long hours, not getting enough sleep, and my bp and anxiety have increased - 145/95. I take 160 mg procardia and celexa (20mg [?] and klonopin (.25-.5mg). Could the lack of sleep and the stress at work be causing the higher readings. Usually when I am not stressed it runs about 118/82. I have felt shakey, could be the anxiety, and am totally exhausted.
Avatar f tn It can often accompany anxiety, as blood vessels contract and expand when we get stressed and then relax and can drive the blood to the head when the vessels start to open up again.

Avatar n tn Your blood pressure needs to be well controlled and you should be on a BETA-BLOCKER with high BP and an aortic aneurysm. Generally amiodarone is only given short term and I would discuss the med changes with the cardiologist.
Avatar n tn My doctor gave me celexa 20 mg im taking and im doing cbt therapy tm he also put me on high blood pressure meds so im taking both..so the sharp pains by my heart and discomfort feeling is all from anxiety?
723959 tn?1314744225 Well at night it started to feel like my heart hurt. Went to the doctor and had high blood pressure i could not figure it out and my doc could not either, because it has always been perfect. Well after coming off of it I started to feel like my old self again, im happy, have a lot more energy and not tired all the time. Well I have noticed latley that when its raining or nasty outside, I feel strange.
Avatar n tn Is is possible to have withdrawal symptoms ( dizziness mostly) after only 20 days of Celexa usage? I was put on this med for anxiety. I initially took 10mg for 10 days, then 20mg for 10 days. Then, because I didn't like the side effects (jitteriness, dizziness, and low blood pressure), dropped back to 10mg for 2 days, then 5mg for 2 days. Today, I took 2.5mg for the second day. Tomorrow, I plan to take NONE.
Avatar n tn My TSH went very low (.04) and my T3 and T4 were high also. I went off of the HCG thinking that was the problem but it sounds like the problem might have been the 5 HTP. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/264350'>5HTP and TSH</a>.
Avatar f tn That doesnt necessarily have to be your issue per se.. Though yes meds can cause changes to blood pressure and heart rate its impossibke to definitively know without the appropriate testing. Doctors aren't allowed tk diagnose something unkess they're reasonably sure thats the cause. Emergency doctors will refer you back to a family doctor or cardiologist once they rule that you don't have an emergency.
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.
