In love!!!!! asked:

Im a little over ten weeks. and have high blood pressure. There monitoring it and gave me a 24 hour urine tests to see if there was protein spilling in my urine, there wasnt. I got back to the doctors for my twelve week appt, I Kinda hope they put me on medicine now rather than it getting really bad and it potentially hurting me or the baby. Its hard to relax about this issue because I want to be excited but im still really scared at the same time ;(. Any one have high blood pressure and everything turned out ok?

jalady asked:

The last time my blood pressure was this high was when I was expecting my twins 35 years ago.

For anyone in the medical field, or who may know what I am talking about I had three TIA’s in one day way back in 2000, but I was taken to the hospital right away..

Don’t some medications raise your blood pressure?

I’m trying to stay away from meds, so I’m doing the garlic thing, walking etc.
…and saying alot of whatever’s.

fembot5000 asked:

I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I am 47 and never had issues before. The past year has been EXTREMELY stressful for me (too much to get into). I know I have to lose about 20 pounds and change diet. I am now taking Inderal. I was wondering if I lost the weight, ate well, didn’t smoke, etc. I could eventually get off medication. Has anyone ever sucessfully done this through lifestyle changes? Unfortunately both my parents have this also.

Does the government help people in their 50′s afford medication for hereditary conditions or are we left to fend for ourselves until we are 65?

gameplayer81_99 asked:

I take meds for high blood pressure but I started exercising, and yesterday I had mine checked and it was 97/73, I felt awful. I was just wondering if it is normal for this to happen or do I need to get off the meds.

Do I need to stay on medication if my blood pressure is normal?

Jojo asked:

I have had high blood pressure for years, even with medication it would not go down. Over a year ago I joined Curves for Woman and since my blood pressure has been going down. Two days ago I went to the doctor for the results on the cholesterol test. My blood pressure is now 120 over 68. My doctor tells me I have to stay on medication for the rest of my life. Some time ago I was told by other doctors I could get off meds when it goes down I lose more weight. Who is right. I don’t like being on prescriptions for life. I think prescription drugs are dangerous, and am afraid of what the end result will be.
