Avatar m tn switched from prednisolone to flourometholone becasue pressures were too high with the prednisolone- no red irratated eyes so working just curious
Avatar f tn Well it sounds to me like you may have the symptoms of cushings, which could be caused from over use of the prednisolone, Cushings causes, fluid retention, cardiac problems, sweating, high blood pressure, and flushing, along with a whole of other problems, eventually leading to a thinning of the bones, leading to spinal fractures, Pheochromacytoma, is an adrenal tumour, usually very tiny, the symptoms are flushing and usually abnormal high blood pressure.
Avatar m tn Went to outpatient Ophtho and pressure was 56. Was prescribed 3 pressure reduction drops (two twice daily, one once daily) and Prednisolone 4 drops daily. For the first four days it looked like it was improving but now after 4 weeks looks like it has been getting worse, severely more dilated. Vision was blurry at first but now is normal. Now prescribed Pilocarpine for Traumatic Mydriasis. No reaction to light but responds to Prednisolone. Ophthalmologist said there is no visible tearing.
1102792 tn?1285925260 t get up to grab some drugs cos of severe shortage of breath, what saved me was my wife rushing to the nearest drug store and buyin a ventolin inhaler, franol (ephedrine+theophyline) and prednisolone, i felt better immediately but i still feel the asthma lurking in the backgrounds, especially when the sneezing bouts start, i usually ward it off with ventolin inhaler, i know i shud probably be taking the tablets but that puts alot of stress on my heart since i have chest pains due to hbp with sig
Avatar n tn I recently had eye surgery, I had some scar tissue removed (membrane peeling) and blood flushed out of my eye because one day I woke up with spider like webs in my vision. After the surgery I lost all vision in my eye. A month later we went back in and flushed the eye once again and now a week after that last surgery I have some vision, however the pressure in my eye is high (41). The doctor instructed me to stop one of the eye drops he prescriped and wants to give it some time.
5629063 tn?1371241247 hi,my mother is 62 years old , she has slight Rheumatoid arthritis and uses 1.25 mg ( quarter of prednisolone 5 mg) per day, she's test ( one month before) shows ESR 1st hr : 34 mm/hr , so a new test shows : CRP: 11 mg/L, RF : 3.4 IU/ml, Anti CCP : 8.5 U/ml ( negetive ) . please inform me what is the problem?
Avatar f tn m also not sure how soon after the prednisolone I had the blood test and if that would effect the outcome of test for adrenal issues considering prednisolone is the treatment for addison's.
Avatar m tn Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and improves blood flow. While that should help treat the high blood pressure, it may not work to help the kidneys that much on its own (although there will be some benefit). I would suggest swapping it for Benazepril (ACE Inhibitor), or adding it to the Amlopidine (needs a vet to consider this combination). Creatinine at 4.1 is high. Is it still at 4.1 now? Two days of fluids probably aren't enough.
1102792 tn?1285925260 ve realised that most of my probs are caused by heavy alcohol and cigs consumption, my heart doesnt seem to be able to take the pressure of beating very fast which i believe is caused by acetlydehyde an alcohol metabolite, and narrowed arteries, due to heavy smoking, also i am very sensitive to salt, infact reducing salt in my diet has more effect on my bp than all the drugs i am taking combined, when i cut down salt in my diet my bp drpped from an average of 130/80 (wihtout alcohol consumtion)
Avatar f tn I've just started monitoring my blood glucose because I feel so ill on exertion and post exertion (Dizziness, nausea, vision problems, irritability, tearfulness, flu like symptoms, joint pain, stomach pain, rashes(especially acne)). I suspected some sort of adrenal insufficiency, so I started monitoring my blood glucose - my hypothesis being that I would become hypoglycemic to some degree after any sort of stress.
Avatar n tn I was put on prednisolone for 5 weeks and now my antibody level normal. I am planning to stop the steroid. Will the level get high again. Should I take any other medication to keep level low?
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.

Avatar f tn 34weeks and have had normal blood pressure thru this pregnancy but earlier my eyesight went blurry and got headache so went to see m/w and they found protein and confirmed high blood pressure. they sent me home and have got to go back tomoz to recheck everything. anyone else been thru same thing?
529440 tn?1232113705 I am now 28 wks and 2 days and i had my check up today with my ob and found out that my blood pressure is starting to go up. All she said about it was that i dont need to worry about it unless i start spilling protein in my urine or if i start getting headaches that dont go away with medicine. And now i have had a headache for a couple of hours and have taken tylenol about an hour ago and nothing is working. Could it be that my bp is getting higher?
Avatar m tn It is very serious. Your friend does not have extremely high blood pressure, but high enough that if exercise and other natural measures don't get it down, he should be taking blood pressure lowering medication prescribe by his licensed physician. His fasting blood sugar is in the range that the doctor should have diagnosed your friend with diabetes mellitus.
