Question 1

why does bronchitis make my blood pressure swing so much?

Accepted Answer

Cough or meds: Increases in blood pressure during infection are usually secondary to coughing (which can raise intravascular pressure) or from medications (mainly decongestants).  These are the two reasons your blood pressure may be elevated during an active episode of bronchitis.

Question 2

does blood pressure go up when you have bronchitis?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: BP can go up when you have bronchitis especially if the work of breathing increases.

Question 3

does high blood pressure affect the possibility of bronchitis?

Accepted Answer

No: Not typically, no.  Elevated systemic blood pressure could be related to pulmonary hypertension, though, which can be the origin of other respiratory diseases.

Question 4

diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, constant dry cough and dysnea, high pulmonary blood pressure, but my lung function tests are normal. why?

Accepted Answer

Something else: Your symptom maybe due to another condition other than a lung condition. The elevated pressure in the pulmonary circulation in a young female suggest a condition called idiopathic pulmonary hypertension.a condition with no known cause. However a thorough clinical evaluation is required before this diagnosis is made. Need to consult a pulmonologist and/or cardiologist

Question 5

ok, i was prescribed both medrol and dulera (formoterol and mometasone) for bronchitis and asthma i take lisinopril for blood pressure i wondering can i stop dulera (formoterol and mometasone) anytime also is my situation dangerous?

Accepted Answer

See an internist: Medrol ; Dulera (formoterol and mometasone) are both cortisones. The inhaled one is safer ; preferable. Lisinopril is an ace inhibitor which causes cough in many people. You need to change from an ace to an arb as soon as possible. The arb is just as effective for BP without the cough. Avoid all smoke. Avoid cats. No cats in your home. No cat anywhere near you.

Question 6

does salt make my blood pressure go up or down?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If you already have problems with blood pressure then yes! we recommend a 2 gram sodium diet for patients with BP problems.  The average american consumes around 18 grams a day! way too much.  Keep salt low regardless having elevated blood pressure.  Unless you're a long distance runner who needs plenty of electrolytes or you have some strange condition that requires your body to keep a high salt.

Question 7

Question 9

can you please help to make my blood pressure higher?

Variable methods: Low blood pressure is generally desirable, but if there is lightheadedness with position change or other symptoms of low blood pressure, need to ensure no underlying problems- low thyroid, or low cortisol, or slow heart rate.
 Need to ensure good hydration status, consider liberalizing salt intake. Compression stockings can be quite helpful.  Some medications may include midodrine or florinef (fludrocortisone).
