High Bp Medicine

My bp is 150/82. I had coronary artery bypass graft surgery on 17-Sep-2013. Presently I am taking following bp medicine : Betaloc 75mg 2 times daily; Amlodopine 5mg daily; Frusemide 20mg daily + Potassium chloride 600mg daily. Pls advise how can I lower my HBP from 150 to 120. ## Try taking 1500 mg of fish oil a day. Mainly Krill oil. Fish oil works wonders for the brain, joints, cholesterol, memory, and bones in general. But should help you BP as well as long as you take it everyday. Natural compared to chemical. Any day!

Hi, my mother has High BP. It was 140/90 for the past few years.. But for the last one month it has gone up to (150-160)/(100-110). She is 49 years old. She is using Concor 2.5mg, Ln block 10 (twice a day) and Aldactone 25 mg. But still the BP is at the same level. She even consulted a cardiologist but everything is normal. Please suggest what can be done to reduce the BP. Can someone suggest any dietary changes or any medications that can reduce the BP? ## Hello, Srao! How is your mother doing? Some people are sodium sensitive, according to the NIH, so she might do better if she lowers her salt intake as much as possible. Eating healthy low fat foods can also help, so can exercising. She can also speak to her doctor about raising the dosage of her medications, or trying different ones....

I'm a 40 year old diagnosed with High Bp for the past 5 years. I was on Losar h in the morning and amlong 5mg in the night. After that my Bp for a very long time (maybe years) was 110/75, but with frequent severe headaches (weekly twice and each time for over 24 hours). 2 weeks back due to non availability of losar h, i had to consume amlong 5 mg both in morning and night and continued with it. Surprisingly my headache vanished, but I felt problem with my eyesight, swelling of legs and ankle, constipation problem.. Is this because of the change of medicine? ## Yes, there is a chance that it could be due to the change in medication. The NIH lists the other side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Are you on any other medica...

It is normal for them to slow down or stop functioning at your age, it means your most likely in perimenopause. And they can be used by all women, whether or not you are married doesn't matter.

I am on 40mg of Lisinipril and 50 mg of metroprolol. BP was high so I went from 25 to 50 metroprolol. 50 making me feel dizzy and light headed. 25 was good. Doc say take every thing in the morning but I am wondering if I can take the extra 25mg of metroprolol in the pm before bed so I do not feel so bad during the day ## Normally, such side effects will wear off after a few weeks, after your body adjusts to the new dosage. However, if the symptoms are that problematic then splitting the dosages can be a good thing to do, but you should check with your doctor first to make sure it is okay for you to do so.

Additionally, anything high in fat coats the cells, so they can't absorb sugar to burn for energy, which also causes blood sugar elevations. So, the best diet for a diabetic is one that's very low in sugar and fat. Another question is: How much exercise do you get? This is also anoth...

Does Ovral L responsible for high BP. ## Under certain circumstances, the hormones in oral contraceptives may increase the risk of hypertension, especially in women over 35, women who smoke, or those that have been on them for a long period of time. There is no way, however, to say that it may only have been caused by taking them. Your doctor would have to be the one to help you discover a cause, if there is one and find proper treatment. Are there any other questions?

Doctors tried Clinidipine 10 mg for few days but its not coming down from 150/120. So now they gave Losar H 10mg. Is it good or else which medicine should I take. I am going through very bad phase. ## Clonodine works for me, it is blood pressure medication but i used it for withdrawl symptoms of coming off H, but i quite liked it. it took away my chest heavyness and racing heart and sweating.

When you start Prazosin, it increases your blood pressure, which the doctor did not tell me, and is very intense the first couple nights i thought i was going to have a heart atta...

The FDA classifies this medication as being a beta blocker and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

8 months before i had a blood pressure of 148/110 and doctor prescriped olmin 20. I have taken regularly and bp is normal now. I want to discontinue the medicine. Is it possible to discontinue? ## No, you shouldn't discontinue it, unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. If it's the only thing keeping your blood pressure at normal levels, it's just going to go back up again, if you stop the medication. Additionally, if you just stop taking it abruptly, it could cause a rebound effect that could result in dangerously elevated blood pressure levels and heart rate, which could put your life in danger. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## I tapered myself off from 40mg of lisinoprol daily. After I had a pancreatitis attack, I lost 30 lbs in 2 weeks a...
