Accepted Answer

Medication review: Kidney failure has many causes of which medication is just one.  Of the medications you mentioned, metformin, naproxen, and certain blood pressure medications can be problematic in patients with kidney disease.  You should see your doctor to establish why you have kidney dysfunction and to review your medications.

Question 5

dr. prescribed 500 mg. naproxen for arthritic knee. it has raised my blood pressure to 150/90. what else can i take?

Accepted Answer

Pain/Blood Pressure: The vast majority of pain medications do not raise your blood pressure. Many other factors do contribute to elevated blood pressure, including pain, stress, anxiety, and under-treated hypertension itself. If your pain is uncontrolled, consult your doctor for additional therapies to relieve the pain. If your blood pressure is chronically elevated, see your doctor for long term medical management.

Question 6

does naproxen 500mg and cyclobenzaprine 5mg increase blood pressure? doctor prescribed both these medications, and my blood pressure went up suddenly yesterday. is that a side effect?

Accepted Answer

Naproxen can: Naproxen can raise your BP and should be stopped if it does.

Question 7

is naproxen safe to take along with aspirin a day and ace inhibitor for blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: Naproxen negates the antiplatelet effects of asa so do not use Naproxen with asa. Celebrex (celecoxib) would be ok as it does not interfere with asa.

Question 8

husband was dizzy and pulse was only 54 after  taking aleve (naproxen)  his blood  pressure was normal no pain or trouble breathing could it be from aleve (naproxen)?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: This should probably be discussed with his doctor.

Question 9

blood pressure is 205/111. should i go to e.r.?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you checked this pressure twice, once on each arm and this is the reading, then go to er asap. 110 diastolic at your age is hypertensive urgency/emergency. You could develop a stroke or heart attack.

Question 10

is having a consistently lower than normal diastolic blood pressure a good or bad thing (i.e between 40-50 mmhg) if the systolic pressure is the normal range (i.e in the 90s mmhg)?

Accepted Answer

Prob normal for you: There are some red flags associated with a low diastolic blood pressure in older people (may mean arteries are stiffer, or taking too much of an anti--hypertensive drug(s), but in a young male such as yourself, it is likely normal. Especially since your systolic blood pressure, while normal, is on the low side, too. Unless you have symptoms such as dizziness/light-headedness, I would not worry:)
