Pants asked:


I have been taking blood pressure medication for 3 days, and although my blood pressure is now perfect, I feel awful.

I just wanted to know if this is something that is temporary, where the side effects you become immune to, or if this is something unusual?

linbell20 asked:


So my mom has this cough and she’s tried tons of medicines but don’t seem to work. She recently bought that Mucinex DM or whatever and that didnt help either. Any suggestions? Also, my mom has high blood pressure so if you suggest any medicines it has to be a medicine that high blood pressure people can take. Thanks.
I forgot to add, the medication is what starts my moms coughing.

does exercise still lower blood pressure if a person is not already overweight?

Rob Smith asked:


I’ve read everywhere that exercise can help lower your blood pressure because it will help you lose weight. I’m already skinny and won’t lose anymore weight when exercising. Will it still help lower my blood pressure? In other words does exercise lower blood pressure ONLY because it lowers weight? Or are there other reasons/factors?

Chuck E. Cheese asked:


I’ve heard that breathing can be used to lower high blood pressure but I don’t want to spend a lot of money on a gadget to try it. Does anyone know if you can learn it by yourself and how?

genie_in_disguise99 asked:


I just underwent echocardiogram and was found out I have Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP). My doctor is a hypertension specialist. Some officemates told me that I should also consult a cardiologist. But I think my doctor is already okay for me. Is it really necessary to see a cardiologist?

What is the best blood pressure medicine for extremely high pressure?

December 21, 2008 By 6 Comments
high blood pressure
jobahed asked:


My mother has extremely high blood pressure. Last night she went to the hospital with 233/100. They got it down using Cardizem, and prescribed that to her. She’s been on a bunch of different pills over the past few years.

She lives in rural West Virginia, and the doctors there have not really been, shall we say, the cream of the crop, so I’m not sure how up to date they are with the available medicines.

She’s 68 years old and she is a heavy smoker, but otherwise has great mobility, still drives, etc. (And she’s a very good cook!)

Thanks,
John

Folks in our town believe that eating amorgoso or ampalaya would make blood pressure high, that is why they recommend it to anemic people. Is this true?
