Two weeks ago I went to see my dr and she told me that my blood pressure was up “alittle”…my question is…is there anything I can do to lower it without taking medicine? I eat healthy and stay away from the salt…so I don’t know how it got up. I’m not a worrier…don’t really let things bother me. So if you could help me with this I would really appreciate it thanks Dorothy

I have been using csteriods for allergies for a long time. My blood pressure was always normal up until 12-18 months ago when it started to creep up. I changed my roid brand about the same time (trying several different ones) and have recently been using the Nasonex. A trip to the dentist revealed similar numbers to you. I am not certain it is the nasonex but my recent queries lead me to believe I should take some action. I am going to suffer through pulling the plug on all roids for a while to see what happens. I may go back to the more expensive becaonase or vansenase (Dont recall having pressure problems with them) and see how it goes.

I sincerely hope that someone answers this question as well. I have been using Nasonex for about two weeks, and I noticed that my blood pressure was elevated within the same measurements. I’m afraid to continue using it.
