Question 1

i have a concussion and have been getting really angry a lot more often, and my blood pressure gets really high. can/does this raise in bp hurt brain?

Accepted Answer

Needs eval: Mood changes, high blood pressure, history of concussion needs evaluation NOW....sooner rather than later.

Question 2

how come i have high blood pressure after having a baby?

Accepted Answer

Preeclampsia?: Some women get preeclampsia after delivery, this involves high bp. Also, if you received a lot of IV fluids with delivery, your pressure could remain high for a few days or more. When this happens, I use diuretics to help get rid of fluid. Regardless, you have to pay attention to this, and you should work with your doctor to control your pressure. Baby needs you healthy.

Question 3

why might someone have high blood pressure after having a baby?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Underlying primary hypertension (the most common type) may have just been picked up because BP measured more frequently during and after the pregnancy.  There might be other causes either related or unrelated to pregnancy.  BP whenever elevated significantly (more than 140/90) needs evaluation and to be controlled.

Question 4

what causes high blood pressure after gallbladder removal?

Accepted Answer

Hypertension : And gallbladder removal itself are not related.  If you are having pain from the surgery, that could make your BP go higher.  Consult with your surgeon if it persists despite pain meds.

Question 5

how do you get high blood pressure after gallbladder removal?  are they related?

Accepted Answer

Not related: Any cause of pain (including being in the postop period) will cause the BP to rise. This is normal and not to be confused with the disease of "hypertension."  gb surgery doesn't cause hypertension, but the scrutiny of being in the medical system may lead to recognition of a pre-existing condition that previously had gone unrecognized.

Question 6

is it normal to have high blood pressure after 2 weeks of delivery?

Accepted Answer

No, see doctor: No. You should talk with your doctor since there are risks of developing pre-eclampsia even after delivery.

Question 7

high blood pressure after mitral valve repair? am i safe?

Accepted Answer

High BP is not safe: I'm not sure if i understand your question correctly but high blood pressure needs to be controlled. You should review your active medications with your cardiologist and have your blood pressure monitored regularly.

Question 8

high blood pressure after angioplasty.... in ecg.... he had undergone angioplasty last month.....what would be the reason for variation in ecg ?

Accepted Answer

What ECG variation?: From your question, I'm not quite sure what the ECG showed, and how it was different.  Also, unsure if you're saying the blood pressure changed, between angioplasties.  An ECG doesn't measure blood pressure.  Also, angioplasty can be performed on many different arteries.  We'll need more information to be able to help.  Should also get in touch with cardiologist.  Take care.

Question 9

my doctor recently diagnosed me with high blood pressure. after a week of blood pressure meds my blood pressure is still high. apart from that i am craving salty foods and don not want to eat something sweat at all. what can this be ??

Accepted Answer

Hypertension: After a week of medication with no lowering of bp, an increase in dose or addition of another medication may be necessary. Avoid salt, alcohol, nicotine, excess caffeine and anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen. Use a salt substitute. Get to ideal weight and exercise regularly if you're able to. Minimize stress. Continue follow-up with your MD.

Question 10

is it okay to take metoprolol tartrate.for high blood pressure after taking dayquil severe cold and flu? and if not, how long must i wait before it's safe to take metoprolol? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: I think it's important that you take your metoprolol on schedule to keep your BP under control.  Dayquil contains an ingredient ( phenylephrine) that raises BP. Omitting metoprolol but taking dayquil will most likely raise your BP. Your pharmacist can validate this advice for you.
