Suppose a patient must take a blood pressure medicine that is dispensed in 125 milligram tablets. The dosage is 15 milligrams per kilogram of body weight and is given every 8 hours. If a patient weighs 25 kilograms, how many tablets would be needed for a 30 day supply?

I was also given this INCORRECT formula to help solve the problem:
n=24d/[8(b*15/125)]

n- number of tablets
d- number of days the supply should last
b- body weight of patient in kilograms

she is over 70 years. She is diabetic. She takes medication for high blood pressure also so many kinds of medicine are prohibited on her.
Thanks for every body for their suggestions. She made all types of tests and x-rays. Doctors gave her medicines but her doctor prevented her from taking these medicines because it will affect the kidney, stomach and the heart. So I’m trying to give her something else than medical therapy unless it won’t affect her.

My dad now has a heart condition and he’s taking medicine for it. I know that it’s only a matter of time before I start developing it, too. luckily I found out that the tree in my front yard produces a fruit that can cure high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Only problem, I have to dry the fruit first to extract the medicine properly, and I don’t know how to do that without buying a dehydrator or food drier. Any tips?

When I went to a ‘doc in a box’ at a grocery store due to a persistent cough, my blood pressure they said was very high, and they wanted me to go in for a check-up with a regular doctor.

But, I can’t convince myself to go, despite some family history of high blood pressure. Basically, I know what the doctor will say already – change your diet, lose weight, reduce stress, all of which I already know and have always failed to fix. And, he will want to sell me expensive medicine. So, I can’t get myself to go, why bother when you know the answer, but can’t live up to the cure, emotionally or financially? Maybe I die earlier than I need to, but that doesn’t bother me, I look at how old people live and don’t see anything I envy. What am I missing here?

Someone once told me that anxiety-induced high blood pressure (BP), such as that which is commonly associated with White Coat Hypertension, cannot be lowered with BP medicine. Does anyone know if this is true? Is the mechanism by which high BP is induced by anxiety that strong to indicate BP medicine cannot resolve/lower it? And if that’s the case, then can one make the argument that one needs anti-anxiety medicine rather than high BP medicine to cure an anxiety-induced high BP issue?

Has anyone with high anxiety-induced high BP ever been treated with BP medicine alone?

Thanks for any responses.

I’ve had high blood pressure since I was 13 …No reason why, just labeled it as hypertension.. Well about 3 months ago I started going to the chiropractor for dizziness (heaven sent.. almost completely cured the dizziness) …. I decided to check my blood pressure & yesterday it was 88/69 … I was very surprised because it’s usually 150/80 or 90 later in the day… Could this chiropractic care be reducing my blood pressure?

I’ve been checking it regularly … it’s ranged from 88/69 – 130/83. 130/85 was right before I went to bed right before I usually take my medicine. So when I got up I checked it again it was 122/87 but yet when i just checked it .. 3 hours later it is 89/77.

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

When you are sick,say urinary track infection,doctor will prescribe a medicine(antibiotic for full course)after medication ,you are cure.Do not need to take more medicine,
But not when you have low or high pressure ,your doctor will prescribe you with medicine to control/regulate your blood pressure and you need to take it for the rest of your life.basically you are not cure and need to be dependent of the drug.Further down the road,as a result of medication,it lead to more problem,heart problem,then further down,it result in kidneys problem.doctor are not helping people but creating more health problem.When will there be a CURE???.
With medical science so advance ,there is still no cure in sight???

natural medicine such as garlic

I was breastfeeding my son when I was hospitilized for my high blood pressure. They told me that I couldnt breastfeed him because of the medicine that I was taking so I had to "pump and dump" as they called it. I did this for two days until my nurse for the night whom also happened to be a lactation consultant told me that it was okay to breastfeed while taking the magnesium sulfate. But by then the damage was done. My son was hooked on formula and wasnt latching onto my breast anymore. I really miss the connection and I know that breast is best but my supply has completely dwindled. Is there anyway that you can "restimulate" your breasts to make milk again?

I have high blood pressure, and the medicine makes me sick, so im looking for some herbs that might do the trick, anything?

For the past two years, I have been on two medications to help lower my hypertension. Yet for almost a year, I have not been taking my medication. Reason is well, the co-pay builds up everytime I go in for a refill and its sort of hard when you are trying to save money for the future and pay for a medicine co-pay. Question: does anyone have any suggestions that may lower my high blood pressure minus the medications?

This medicine treats well blood pressure and aging problems of human body that is normally common in old age people.

I need a proven medicine especially from someone who has used such medicine or tea or drink before. Thanks. Need this urgently.

My dad has high BP & blood sugar levels. Although he’s administring required medicine, can anyone suggest any good home remedies to keep them always under control.

I am a FTM as if you wouldn’t be able to tell by this question. Well anyways I just wanted to say I did plan on breastfeeding, I got to do it for two days at the hospital and then my blood pressure stayed REALLY high and so did my pulse so they had to do cat scans and nuclear medicine to make sure I didn’t have a blood clot in my lungs, I don’t phew but they kept me on a blood pressure medication that isn’t the best for a baby to have. So I opted out and decided that I will give up breast feeding because there is no way I am going to have my poor son sucking down on some medicine that "may" have side effects on him as I was told. Ok now that I have probably bored you to tears here is my question, he is 2 weeks old today and has been eating 2 ounces of formula every 2 to 3 hours for me for the past 2 weeks. Now today it seems as if it just isn’t enough for him he grunts and fusses and whines and I am wondering if it is ok to give him a extra ounce. The pediatrician scared me at his first appointment saying that if I "HAVE" to feed him more to just do a extra half a ounce because he could get a upset stomach yada yada. But that was when he was 3 days old. So with that all being said what do you think a extra ounce is ok or no way? I go to see his doctor again next week but I just wanted opinions from the mommies out there that have gone through this. Also is there a feeding chart online I could glance at. I can’t find anything. Thanks lots ladies and gentlemen!

My father-in-law has ancestral high blood pressure. Also his heart is not healthy, so sometimes it affects the blood pressure to get higher either. Now when something happens or if his blood pressure gets higher he has to take really powerful medicine, which is not good for his other bodies. Even sometimes when his blood pressure gets higher he gets really close to the stroke. I could feel that. So my question is "Is it possible to cure ancestral high blood pressure, also high blood pressure that caused by heart abnormality?"

I am w/o insurance for a few months and my usual medicine is a FORTUNE w/o insurance. Does anyone have any good name brands or home remedies?

i had twin girls on june 5, 2008. when i was 34 weeks pregnant i was diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension. well, yesterday i went to the doctor and i found out that now i have high blood pressure and i was put on medication. i was reading the warnings about the medicine and it said that it was fatal to fetuses. we want another child in a couple years, so naturally i am worried. since i will be off of the medicine, what are the risks and complications of a pregnancy that starts off with high blood pressure? thanks.

My blood pressure is a bit too high. I know it comes from smoking and being overweight. My systolic reading usually runs from 128-138, and the diastolic is 89-99.
I have not been to the doctor, because I do not want to go on medicine. I’m going to try and lower my blood pressure through natural methods such as losing weight and to stop smoking.
Is what I am doing dangerous? Do I really need to go on medicine for my blood pressure?
Thanks!

My blood pressure is normally about 150-160 over 90. I am a highly stressed person all the time. I have bad anxiety alot. But once my infertility doctor sees how high my blood pressure is, will he not let me continue with the treatment to be able to have kids? Is there any safe blood pressure medicine you can take while pregnant that won’t hurt the babies?

My bf takes medicine for high blood pressure, he has an enlarged heart, diabetes and sleep apnea. In his fridge he has two six packs of zimas. He says that they don’t have enough alcohol in them to hurt anything. Am I stressing for nothing or is he a complete moron?

Just recently after seeing the doctor I find out my cholesterol and blood pressure is very high. I have to take medicine and exercise and watch what I eat. I have watch those Nutricious labels and salt in-take. Your advise is most appreciated and web sites to find good affordable nutricious food recipes

Is there an alternative, more natural way to lower blood pressure? (non-pill-popper)
Also, will taking the medication prescribed cause the body to be dependent on the medicine? If I begin to take them, then stop taking it, will it do more harm than good?

what is the treatment & medicine name for Low Blood Pressure

My mum suffers from hypertension and she is on alternative medicine and Yoga, which has helped to control the blood pressure to quite an extent. But since yesterday, she is complaining of spiining of head when she gets up from bed. I assume her blood pressue is risen now hennce asked her to rest and just lie on bed. I have also given her the allopathic medicine ( amlong – a) for it. But the situation hasnt improved.

Before that i have had blood pressure but without feeling any symptoms. Now I wonder why I have high blood pressure symptoms only now but not before while I get the same blood pressure reading? means my blood pressure reading now is not more than before and with medicine its lower but still i feel its symptoms.
