Question 3

i take irbesartan for high blood pressure and got switched for insurance reasons and also small dose clonazepam 1mg.. i heard clonazepam can help keep blood pressure in check is this true? also take pregabalin for neck and nerve pain

Accepted Answer

Clonazepam: Is a controlled substance with habit forming potential. While it can help in patients with anxiety disorder and hypertension, its long term potential for side effects is serious. Would suggest revisiting with your prescriber short, medium and long term goals.

Question 4

i'm 66 yr olds and i'm humming all the time .what  can i do  to stop. i tend to tighten my jaws tierd this is annoying high blood pressure  high cholsteral   nerve piils

Accepted Answer

Clenching : Clenching of your jaws is a sign of stress. That you take "nerve pills" only confirms that you suffer from stress related problems.

Speak to your physician who may be better able to refer you to someone who can help you by physically seeing you and speaking to you.

Question 5

does chest tightness relate to high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: "chest tightness" is a worrisome symptom because it is often used to describe what people feel when their heart isn't getting enough circulation (angina). If one has angina, high blood pressure, which forces the heart to work harder, will make it worse. If the chest tightness is due to something else (say, indigestion for example), hbp won't affect it.

Question 6

bp is 155/100 and i have tightness in my chest.  i am also taking coversyl hd for the high blood pressure.

Accepted Answer

See below: These are symptoms that could be potentially serious.  You should discuss these with your physician.  He/she will thoroughly evaluate you and let you know what's going on.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

May be: Occasional high blood pressure readings can be erroneous, measuring technique, size of cuff, timing, position, etc.. Occasional pains in left arm can still be muscular or boby in origin, better get checked by your doctor with more history , better measurements and documentation of vital signs , and routine tests if necessary, preventive health maintenance at any age is important, wish you wellness

Question 8

i have severe high blood pressure and i'm on carvedilol. ihave tightness in the center of my chest. i have no other symptoms. could my heart be failing?

Accepted Answer

That is possible: But an echocardiogram would rapidly determine heart strength.

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

my blood pressure is 106/65 and my pulse is 65.do i need to go to the e.r.? i normally have high blood pressure.

Accepted Answer

NO: You are fine. Relax. This is normal BP and Pulse. There is normal range of BP from 90/60 to 140/85. and Pulse varies from 60 to 100.
