Question 1

does methotrexate lower your blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Hypotension......: Is not a side effect that I have ever seen with Methotrexate administration. Indeed, cardiovascular side effects from mtx are rare, and a causal role for those rarely observed events has not been established. If you are experiencing a clinically significant drop in blood pressure, i would work with your dr to find reasons other than mtx.

Question 2

which blood pressure meds cause e.d.?

Accepted Answer

BP meds & ED: First of all, high bp, especially high systolic bp, is not good for your erectile function. If you are older, this is especially so. Diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide and spironolatone as well as beta-blockers such as atenolol can cause erection problems. There are some BP meds that may help you with erectile function, including arbs such as losartan and Alpha blockers such as doxazosin.

Question 3

need help docs! my blood pressure won't go down no matter what!?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: You need to discuss this with your doctor, we can almost always control high blood pressure.

Question 4

do e cigarrettes cause high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Not "cause": In reality we do not KNOW the true cause of high blood pressure. We do know many things that will drive it up in a predisposed individual. Considering about 30% of population has HTN, it is fairly common. Smoking and/or any act that stresses the body or mind can drive BP up in someone wo already has HTN or is genetically "ripe" to develop  HTN

Question 7

: Why do you want to take these? The supplements are not likely to provide and health benefit.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 8

high blood pressure, 175/112 took medicine, what quick exercise i can do t lower it?

Accepted Answer

Don't exercise!: You don't want to pop your top, do you? First, you need to get your blood pressure under control with medicines!  after that issue has stabilized, then concern yourself with low salt diet, low sugar diet, weight loss, decreased alcohol intake, quitting smoking, exercising to get into shape, and all of the other necessary lifestyle changes. Exercise right now will make your pressure increase!

Question 9

blood pressure

Accepted Answer

Yes: Your doctor is the best person with whom to,discuss this. Good, that the meds keep your blood pressure mis in the normal range. I agree that sometimes, improved diet, weight loss, exercise and stress decrease may result in a reduction or removal of your meds, but that should occur between you and you personal doc who,knows your health history best.

Question 10

can't seem to lower blood pressure because of anxiety and cardiophobia what must i do?

Accepted Answer

: There are many non-medicinal techniques for handling anxiety which can be learned through a good counselor who specializes in this problem. Meditation, exercise, adequate sleep, and cognitive therapy have all been shown to help. I would begin by asking your primary doctor for a referral to someone for your anxiety. Good luck.
