Question 1

Im 28 w/extensive blood clot history now high blood pressure wht could cause high bp at my age? bp meds are not working

Accepted Answer

Hypertension is often genetic and it is not unusual to develop it under the age of 30. But there are other factors that should be considered. Some kidney diseases can cause blood clots and high blood pressure (lupus is one). Some medications can do the same (oral contraceptives). There are other factors (alcohol, obesity, adrenal disease) and medications that can increase BP without causing clots.

Question 2

What is the risk of a blood clot after gallbladder surgery in a patient with high blood pressure and tachycardia?

Accepted Answer

The high blood pressure and tachycardia(rapid heart rate)are common after surgery due to stress and not necessarily indicators or causes of a blood clot. However, some people do in fact develop a blood clot after surgery and a rapid heart rate might be a sign warranting further evaluation.

Question 3

I have afib and several co-morbidities. doctor wants to insert watchman to prevent a stroke from blood clots. i am on elequis 5mg 2 daily and 82mg aspirin. i am on high blood pressure and strong pain meds.
at 83 am i a candidate for this operation?

Accepted Answer

The Watchman device has been quite successful in getting most of the treated patients off actual anticoagulants after 45 days & use only aspirin thereafter. If you don't have valvular  heart disease and can't take anticoagulants for some reason you're a candidate. However general anesthesia is used in the procedure and your cardiologist will have to ok you before the anesthesiologist will agree.

Question 4

If a blood pressure cuff is too small will it cause blood clots?

Accepted Answer

It's on for too short a time. A too-small BP cuff is a problem only because it makes the measured BP appear elevated which is artifactual.

Question 5

Can a blood pressure cuff inflated to 200mm hg pressure(max) and then slowly released, cause blood clot in arm?

Accepted Answer

What you described is not likely to cause a blood clot.

Question 6

Is there a correlation between blood pressure and risk of blood clots and embolisms?  my bp is normal but i worry about clots a lot.

Accepted Answer

A decreased blood pressure, if it is associated with a decreased flow, may increase the risk of blood clotting.  High blood pressure is frequently associated with increased flow and therefore less pooling of blood, and less clot formation.  Most blood clots occur in the calf muscles, so long car rides or airplane rides should include walking breaks or calf muscle movement.

Question 7

Are blood clots in the arm connected to blood pressure cuff left on at all?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely that a BP cuff is the cause of blood clots in the arm unless left inflated for an extended period - hours. Sounds as if you were in the hospital and usual cause of blood clots in the arm is the IV placed causing thrombophlebitis. This is usually due to an infection of the vein or potentially due to medications given through the iv.

Question 8

In order for stroke to occur in pregnancy, wouldn't you need a really high blood pressure to break a artery in brain or blood clot to lodge it ?

Accepted Answer

That's like asking, "In order to ruin a casserole, don't you have to undercook the potatoes?" There are all kinds of ways to ruin a casserole, & stroke in pregnancy may be due to numerous causes of which BP is only 1. Stroke in pregnancy is a "heterogeneous" entity, i.e. may be due to a "laundry list" of conditions. Periodic reviews of it appear for clinicians in journals and textbooks on stroke.

Question 9

Blood pressure 90/52 and on blood thinners for blood clots in lungs, now feeling very weak.?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what your blood pressure is normally, if you've started any new medications lately, if you're using a new machine, or a number of other factors. It is also important to know your blood level of your blood thinner is. Very high levels can lead to spontaneous bleeding. You should see your physician as soon as possible.

Question 10

Can an elderly with copd, pulmonary hypertension, blood clot in leg take cough syrup for her cough?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your doctor prescribed it for you.  He/she already factored in all of your problems and medications you are currently on with any new medication recommended.
