4 days ago (sunday) i had a svt and they prescribed me metoprolol to lower down my heart and also my blood pressure. monday & tuesday & wednesday  i felt good walking around just normal day but still taking it easy. thursday  morning i felt

Accepted Answer

SVT: When you say SVT-there are several ones (for example, AVnRT, AVRT, atrial tachycardia etc). Depending on which type, these may spontaneously abort and in some cases recur. First line treatment is medical therapy as in your case. If you continue to have symptoms despite optimal medical therapy, an electrophysiologic study and ablation of an abnormal electrical pathway may help.

Question 2

if i took a high blood pressure tab this morning and my pressure is 186/109 now can i take another tab to lower it?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes: Generally yes this is advisable, but without further details it is difficult to confirm. Please see the Emergency Department, this is a very high reading. Avoid salty foods, drink fluids and please consult with a physician right away.

Question 3

my morning blood pressure is highets.t averages 135/80. i take benicar/hct at 7 am. when should i take my 5 mg amlodipine if i wanted 24 bp control ?

Accepted Answer

At night: Blood pressure is usually the highest in the morning, i suggest to continue to take Benicar (olmesartan) at 7 am and take amlodopine at night or 7 pm for better 24h coverage.

Question 4

why does blood pressure spike in the afternoon and evening?  it's consistently at or below 110/77 every morning, but goes up to 130/96+ at night.

Accepted Answer

Diurnal changes BP: Blood pressure continues to rise during the day and is closely related to mental &amp; physical stress. Other factors affecting BP are: exercise, meals, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and timing of medication. During sleep, BP is lower and disturbed sleep increases the BP. Hope it is helpful. Ambulatory monitoring can be useful.

Question 5

is 125/85 a good standing blood pressure? early morning and late evening i can get it to 110/70 standing. should i even check it standing up?

Accepted Answer

BP: All of these readings are good. I would stop taking your BP altogether

Question 6

my blood pressure in the morning is usually around 135/85 systolic and dyastolic but rises to around 145/87 in the afternoon; what could be resposible?

Accepted Answer

Nervous system?: In the morning, your parasympathetic nervous system (pns) is more active, this will tend to keep your BP low. However as the day progresses you may be overly actviating your sympathetic nervous system (sns)- this could cause an increase in bp. Other things to consider are caffeine, sugar, fried foods and other stressors you may be exposed to during the day.

Question 7

my blood pressure is very extreme.  it was 156/95 one morning and in the afternoon 90/49.  is that dangerous?

Accepted Answer

NO : It's not dangerous but it's hard to treat.   I would want to rule out artifact - is the high pressure at complete rest? Is it measured at your medication's nadir? Is the low one measured at your medication's peak? Are you representing unusual extremes of of your blood pressure swings? Everyone has swings of their blood pressure but not so extreme and not that often.

Question 8

shall i take my high blood  pressure pill in the morning or in the evening?

Accepted Answer

No differance: Lisinopril can be taken once a day in the morning or before bed time. Some people prefer to take at night because of mild side effects like dizziness or drowsiness. Follow the directions of your treating doctor for the best results.

Question 9

can a morning blood pressure be 135/80, afternoon for some reason went to 200/80, and an hour after that went to 126/75?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, it is possible for the blood pressure to fluctuate like that. I would recommend that you check your blood pressure frequently through the day and record it, to show to the physician who is treating your blood pressure. That information can be used to optimize your high blood pressure regimen. Good luck.

Question 10

my blood pressure is usually 115/83  first reading in morning to evening, by late night it spikes to 130/90 after work, again 115/83 next day.worried?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: Hi, this sounds like a normal fluctuation in blood pressure and is nothing to worry about. Our blood pressure can go up in times of stress(work), exercise, after eating, and at times when we walk into a doctors office (white coat syndrome). The fluctuation tells me the system is working just fine.
