My blood pressure is a bit too high. I know it comes from smoking and being overweight. My systolic reading usually runs from 128-138, and the diastolic is 89-99.
I have not been to the doctor, because I do not want to go on medicine. I’m going to try and lower my blood pressure through natural methods such as losing weight and to stop smoking.
Is what I am doing dangerous? Do I really need to go on medicine for my blood pressure?
Thanks!
I have never had issues of with my blood pressure before – always been good/normal. I started taking Zyrtec a few months ago, and started Flonase about 8 months ago. In the last month or so, my blood pressure has elevated. I am in need of losing additional weight, but I’ve lost weight in the last 2 months and my blood pressure is higher than it’s ever been. Anyone had experience before with increased blood pressure when using zyrtec or flonase?
I’m currently taking Toprol, which is a beta-blocker. However this medicine also lowers blood pressure and mine is fine to start with. My pulse runs very high. My doctors became more concerned when I was in his office and my pulse was at 147. He sent me to cardiologist, after many test they were unable to find anything physically wrong with my heart. They put me on the beta-blocker to lower my pulse & help with the chest pains.
The chest pain started about 5 years ago. An echocardiogram was performed, but the could see nothing wrong. I basically give up on finding an answer for the pain. Until the recent doctors visit. Once he sent me to the cardiologist, another echo was performed along with a heart monitor, & stress test. Still no answer as to why the pain. I’m not sure yet if the toprol is working. I was already tired all the time, now I’m exhausted since being on the medicine. I’ve tried to research medicine options to find one that targets pulse rather than both pulse and blood pressure. So far no luck. Any advice or suggestions?
I have a seriously ill family member who is currently experiencing his blood pressure rising to dangerous levels when he gets up which causes blackouts. Does anyone know what causes a rise in blood pressure when you get up he currently just had a MRI but I would like to know where to look on the net. Most things state that your blood pressure drops when rising.
Thanks alot!
Thanks for your answer but that is why I am having problems searching for this everyone is assuming that it is low. He blackouts and his pressure is tested and it is rising drastically.
a sudden lowering of blood pressure with no apparent cause with resulting loss of consciousness.
I had a health screening last friday and because I have a big upper arm the nurse used a large cuff and my BP was scarily high (140/104). Today I got it measured at a blood pressure kiosk with a "normal" sized cuff and it was better (123/84).
I know both readings are high but I’m trying to track it to help decided if I want to take medication or not. I’m already trying to lose weight which I know will bring it down.
