I have just developed SLK since I started chemo therapy. I have pain and pressure on my top lids. I don't know if pressure pain is related to SLK or not. I was given 1% steriod drops for about a month with a gradual decrease every week. After 3 weeks and no relief I saw a second opthamologist and he said the steriod drops were very strong and reduced them to a ,5% twice a day and natural tear drops every 2 hrs.
I also take restasis, artificial tears, and an opthalmic steroid for inflammation and eyelid swelling. What I found was important to do is time consuming, but it has helped - a warm heat mask for eyes (Walgreen's has one type) followed by gentle massage with baby shampoo and rinsing lids or using an approved ocular wipe after 15 min. or so of heat mask. R eye significantly better; still working on L eye.
1. Restasis is great, go to may home page and look under Journal posts, scroll through and read the article on dry eyes. Both my wife and I are on restasis. Her for 6-7 years for eyes that watered constantly (poor quality tears) me 2 years for no tears. Restasis helps both types. Remember takes 6 months to work, definitely an act of faith. Often stings when you start but generally stop after a couple of weeks. We both use all the drops out of a single dropperette before opening a new one.
He started me on tobradex ST ( steroid drops) and Timolol Maleate. Then I used thera tears and systane during the day and the night time gel. As of last Friday I was doing fine, then my vision became blurry again and my left eye is like half open. ( looks like a lazy eye) never had it before. He says my inplants look great. yesterday i saw him my right eye had raised pressure to 26.5 he took me off the steroid drops left me on the timolol -glaucoma drops.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Folic Acid and magnesium will help to control your BP, but to keep you and baby safe I would plan a physical and explain to the Dr that you want to concieve and want to make sure it is safe to do so. High blood pressure during pregnancy can be fatal to Mommy and Baby, so its better to pay that co-pay now and make sure everything is ok before becoming pregnant.
I am 71 years old. About 10 weeks ago my blood pressure went suddenly up to183/87 and went to ER. Doctors did CT scan, x-rays, blood work and found every thing normal. They just gave me anti anxiety medication and sent me home. Also me contact a cardiologist.
The following week I was quite normal and my bp was never more than 130/80. Following week contacted cardiologist as a precaution. He suggested to take Carvidilol 6.25my/Lisinopril 5mg/Simvastatin 25mg/Aspirin81mg.
Do you remember how high your blood pressure got when they induced you? I just checked it again and it's still 139/84 and I still don't feel right..
