A member asked:
Docs, could a bee sting cause a more severe reaction in a person that has high plood pressure and is taking lotril?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unrelated: A persons response to a bee sting is related to that individual's inherent immune mechanism, hypersensitivity tendencies and after care. Elevated blood pressures and most medications should not alter that response from what it would be without those conditions. An exception may be the use of daily antihistamines, which may lessen the reaction.
