I have taken Tums, Nexium and AlkaSeltzer. My blood pressure has been running 160/100 – 170/110 for the past 3 days and I just can’t seem to get any relief. Could the 2 be related. I had a mild heart attack in 2005 and the feeling is similar to the way I felt a few days before. I feel like I may be working myself up over nothing but a little gas or indigestion…am I crazy?

I think my daughters are ADHD and it’s causing problems. Their older brother and me are always on edge and it’s becoming a problem seriously. I am feeling like I don’t like my daughters but I still love them. I have checked some websites on the symptoms but I would like some advice on something your kids might do that related to my situation. For instance, I have to repeat the same rules everyday, they don’t listen AT ALL, they get into trouble at school, they are loud, disruptive and always crave sugar. If I buy any treats for them they are literally gone within a few days, those boxes of juice pouches are gone within just a few days. I am constantly stressed out and I know this isn’t normal at all. Please help me and give me some tips and advice on how to deal with this. What symptoms did your child have that aren’t conventional. Also, if you have some natural remedies that I can get from the pharmacy, pleeeaaassse let me know ASAP. Help, I have high blood pressure and I know this is contributing to it. They are 6 and 7. Thanks

I’ve been really, really stressed lately with a lot of problems happening in my life. Today I felt very short of breath, my chest was very tight and constricted, and I keep getting tingly/dizzy feelings. I decided to check my blood pressure, because hypertension runs in m family on both sides, and it was 146/98. I’m 21 years old. This, obviously, is very high. I’m still feeling it really strongly. I’m having a lot of trouble breathing and my chest is very tight. Does anyone know anything I can do to get myself to calm down a little so my blood pressure will drop enough that I feel comforable at least? I’ve been feeling this way off and on for a few weeks now but today it got a lot worse. If it doesn’t improve in the next few days I may go see a doctor… but are there any natural remedies I can try for now? i just get really frustrated when I can’t breathe good enough and my chest feels this way…

Hi All, Recently, my sister during her first pregnancy has faced a pre-eclampsia during her third trimester. The baby had been pre-delivered and put in incubator from then. We all expected that after her pregnancy, the preeclampsia symptoms would disappear.

But unfortunately, certain symptoms still persists till date for her. The symptoms include, not able to urinate in enough amounts and Blood Pressure (it’s been fluctuating a little high now and then and most of the times it is close to normal).

It’s been a week since my sister had pre-delivered.

Can someone, please tell me about postpartum preeclampsia? whether it is dangerous or can be cured 100%? How long will it take for her to recover? Will there be any danger to my sister’s life?

These are few of the questions which are bothering me since few days and i thought of coming up to you all for an answer.

Please suggest your experiences (if there are any) or any knowledge you have on the same.

Thank you all in advance and i do appreciate your reply.

I’m 23 years old. Not too over weight and in decent shape. I can go a month having sex 2 or 3 times a day with my woman. Then, out of nowhere, I’ll think about it and I will lose my erection in the middle of sex. For a few days after that I will have problems getting it up. I will be able to perform during this time, just not as much as usual. I used to have high blood pressure but have lost enough weight to where it is in check. I haven’t been diagnosed yet, but I’m pretty sure I suffer from anxiety. The main thing that bothers me is that I can’t get it all the way hard while masturbating after this happens. Someone please help me and let me know what could be going on and if there are cures for every kind of ED. Thanks.
What kind of help is available for that kind of problem? I’ve heard anxiety meds cause ED

The part that is swollen is around the "dark circle" area & under that part like down towards the cheek a little. Her eye is not red or itchy. It tears a lot but don’t know if it’s related. It’s been happening for the past few days she wakes up like that and it gets a little better during the day but it won’t go away completely. I would like to find some homemade cures since she takes some medicines for high blood pressure & a few things more. Could it be an allergy? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you in advance.
She also is recovering from avery bad cold

My father has tension behind his neck and has had it for about 3 to 4 days straight now, my mother says he might have high blood pressure and my father says he just probably needs to eat. It all started when he had i think…half a hamburger or something to eat the whole day a few days ago, hes been eating pretty fairly i mean he doesn’t starve himself or anything like that but anyways were pretty curious any suggestions to what he might have and possibly any cures?

Hello, a few days ago about a half Biotest Spike Shooter, which contains

B12 (methylcobalamin) 1,500 mcg
SPIKE® Shooter Formula 1,057 mg
N-acetyl-L-tyrosine
Caffeine anhydrous 300mg
Yohimbine HCl

And aside from anxiety, and nausea I experienced severe heart palpitations for about 2-3 hours. Now I’m wondering if this was dangerous, I didn’t seek medical attention at the point but could this have been harmful to my heart? I don’t normally have heart palpitations and my blood pressure is normal.

well i have pcos i have the acne and hair on my chin my period is not to irregular just comes a few days late or early every month, not to bad. But the doctor wants to give me birth control pills now i have taken those before and they worked well, but now that my insurance will only let me get generics and they do not seem to work the same. Now i have heard about the benefits of taking the pill but i have also been hearing that htey can cause heart problems and strokes my father died of heart problems and also had a stroke and high blood pressure, my blood pressure only goes high occasionaly it is not high all the time. So my question is do i take the birth control pills and the meds for high blood pressure even though i hate medicine and prefer naturla cures. Also let me say that my blood pressure has been really good for the past 4 months and i have been off the meds. i got one higher reading and they want me back on meds. ok thanks for any tips and info you can give me, ALSo i have heard that garlic pills is good for blood pressure is that true guess i should also mention i am overweight and it is very hard for me to lose weight

I went to a local minor-emergency clinic (not my primary physician who normally handles my blood pressure treatment–it was in the evening and I was feeling really crummy) last night for a bad cold that I had for about a week, started out like a sinus/allergy thing but the last few days turned into a sneezing and coughing up yellow mucus type of event, so I went for an exam and they said I had a case of bronchitis.

Was prescribed albuterol inhaler for the bronchitis, but now I read on the internet that maybe sometimes it’s not best to take these two drugs together? Atenolol is for high blood pressure in my case. I gave my list of medications to the doctor I saw last night, any chance they could have overlooked that? Or is it common and effective to take these two drugs together?

Okay so I’m 26 weeks pregnant when I went for my 20 week check up, I was 21 weeks and my blood pressure was high. This is my second pregnancy, with my first pregnancy 3.5 years ago I had twins and had blood pressure problems that later ended up with me being delivered due to pre-E but my blood pressure issue also started early on with them also. I was NEVER offered medication for blood pressure instead i was told to lay on my side if it went down all was okay if not then i was put on modified bed rest..

This pregnancy I have a different dr, my old drs sold their practice and this is the dr that took it over. When i went for my 21 week appointment, like i said my BP was high, she didnt retake it or anything and wrote me a script for blood pressure medication. I went home researched the medication and decided not to take it, i didnt feel that based on one reading of high blood pressure i needed to take it, i took my bp every few days at the store and it was normal most the time, i had a few high reading but on average it was really good.I then went last week and she asked if i was taking my medication, i told her no and she was really upset and said she wanted me to go to another dr so that it is documented that im refusing treatment.. I was actually offended by her actions and the fact that she didnt want to listen to me, I’m not completely opposed to medication if it is needed, i just didnt feel that based on ONE high reading i needed medication, i told her I would rather try some diet changes and other things first, and she responded that at my age that will not work at all. I’m 25.. why would it not work? I just find it odd that she never retook it to double check, instead wanted to give me medication without first talking about alternatives.. Like I said I will take it if i have to, im just not sure if i do.. After i had my twins i was put on medication cause my BP would not go down and my heart rate was way to high.. the medication made me feel so horrible i was always about to faint.. I just cant imagine feeling that way being pregnant taking care of 2 three year olds..

Anyways, that got really long.. Have any of you taken blood pressure medication when pregnant? Did your dr try other things first? what is your view on this?

Please dont respond with "dr knows best" I’m sorry I do not feel that is always the case so please do not waste your time..

Also I am going to a MFM dr, who was the dr i also seen when i was pregnant with my twins, he is going to review my blood pressure issue and I also have a kidney problem (brought on by pregnancy) that was debilitating my last pregnancy and it is coming back.. they could be linked, which my current dr even told me but didnt say that until after she was mad about me not filling the prescription.
my BP when she gave me the script was 137/86 then my last appointment when she got mad it was 140/90.. however like i said i have been taking it and it has not been high like that.

Also my kidney issue has nothing to due with high blood pressure.. but could cause high blood pressure..

Thanks everyone for the input.. glad to see I was not totally out of line

I am a 33 yr old guy. My doctor just put me on 25mg of Hydrochlorothiazide. One pill a day. I started taking yesterday. I have been monitoring my blood pressure constantly since. Its still way too high. Should I be concerned and call my physician or wait a few days for the medication to take effect.

I am 40 years old, and 29 weeks pregnant with baby number eight. I never get sick, and my blood pressure has always been perfect.
However, I have come down with severe head cold/flu type symptoms, and my blood pressure has risen to 155/88.
Should I be concerned? Perhaps get my blood pressure checked again in a few days?
