No: High blood pressure is a marker of the arterial pressure. The hemorrhoid is a venous congestion. So, mostly the answer to your question is no.

There is no interact: We do not use daflon in us as it is not available but there is no reason why you you can not use them together, if it is available wherever you are.

: Would be ok, there are always exceptions, 1) High blood pressure , rectal stimulation can sometimes increase the blood pressure,.2)  Thyroid Disease : again rectal stimulation can increase GI stimulation and increase gastric motility, stimulating the GI Tract secretions, that affect the Thyroid Axis ,3)  Enlarged Prostate : stimulation of the rectum with suppository, can increase hormone level PSA

Question 5

i'm supposed to take 1 pill of  levothyroxine/150mg in a day.....but accidentally took 2 because i mistook it for my high blood pressure medicine. i s?

Accepted Answer

Just don't repeat...: Sorry to see such, which is not uncommon in daily living for many. For Levothyroxine, you may just wait, watch, and see; of course, do not repeat it and move on; it is unlikely to cause undue effect from what you described, i.e., one-time event! As always, take any drug with caution esp. at the beginning of its use.

Question 6

i have high blood pressure but whenever i see my doctor, he takes my measurements says its fine. do i get a second opinion? it usual fluctuates between 140-155/80-90.

Accepted Answer

May need treatment: Get a BP monitor &amp; note the BP at home &amp; take it to the doctor.
Normal BP is around 120/80

You can change your diet &amp; regular exercise can help BP stay in the normal range.

If high,needs treatment.

Question 7

currently taking 20 mg lisinopril for high blood pressure. i am currently taking 20 mg of lisinopril for high blood pressure for about 4 years now.  it has been fine up to a few weeks ago, now my bp is steady in the 140-150s / 90's
i notice lisinopril com

Accepted Answer

Increasing : Increasing your Lisinopril may help your blood pressure, and you probably do not need a full office visit to make the change if you are doing well otherwise. But, there is a risk that the higher dose would negatively affect your kidney function so you should have labs checked 1-2 weeks after you make the change. I would recommend that you call your doctor's office to report the higher blood pressure. They should know that this is happening, and also that you are considering a higher dose. You could ask them if they would agree to the dose increase and provide you with a lab slip to get blood work after making the change. This should not cost you much, and may help you avoid a full office visit.

Question 8

how do high blood pressure start s?

Accepted Answer

Can you rephrase?: High blood pressure is dependent upon family history, age, diet and level of activity and enviromental factors like stress. To reduce blood pressure, exercise, low salt diet, reducing stress and good sleep and good relationship

Question 9

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 10

what are high blood pressure cause s and cure?

Accepted Answer

Multiple causes: There are many causes of high BP.  Aging and hardening of arteries are the most common  causes.  Very few have cure.  The treatments can be directed to the specific causes, if known.  However, essential hypertension is one when the cause is unknown.  Most high BP can be controlled but not cured by behavioral treatment, lifestyle modification, diet, exercise, weight loss and medication.
