Question 1

is there any blood pressure medication that does not cause itchy rash?

Accepted Answer

: There are several. An itchy rash may or may not be triggered by a given BP med but you should disscuss the issue with your treating doc.

Question 2

i'm taking lexapro and my blood pressure is going up and i have a rash on my neck?

Accepted Answer

: One of the known side effects of Lexapro is elevated blood pressure. It typically occurs several days after first starting the medication or after a dose increase. If you have not recently done either of these, it may be unrelated. Talk to your prescribing Dr for further instructions. Lexapro does not typically cause rashes.

Accepted Answer

Stasis dermatitis : A common condition causing red rashes on the lower legs is stasis dermatitis. This is usually from leg swelling or edema. Other possible conditions include a vasculitis or petechiae. See a dermatologist to have the rashes evaluated and a work up done.

Question 4

doc told me had low blood pressure other day now very tired also have rash on back and arms very itchy for 2 days little and big bumps is it related?

Accepted Answer

Low BP: It would be nice to be able to look at a rash to render a better judgement about it, however, big blotchy rashes with itching generally suggest urticaria. Urticaria causes vasodilation of the blood vessels which can lead to a lower BP

Question 8

i've been on high blood pressure medication for 30 years or even more?

Accepted Answer

Yup: Sometimes elevated BP lasts a lifetime. As long as the drugs are working an having little or few side affects just keep going.

Question 9

is it safe to take tramazac tablets while on blood pressure medication?

Accepted Answer

Which BP pill?: Since numerous medications are used in blood pressure control, it is not feasible to assess drug-drug interactions.  Ask the doctor who originally provided your medications, or provide us with name(s) of concerning drugs.

Question 10

im on high blood pressure medication and it was controlled to 135/85 but why has the pressure shot up to reading 150/95 today?

Accepted Answer

BP control.: Certain life situations will cause the BP to rise even if you’re on medications; this can include exercise and episodes of emotional stress or physical exertion.  This is normal and expected.  But your BP at baseline should be in adequate control and your BP numbers under times of such stress should not rise excessively.  24 hour BP monitoring can help to qualify this.
