This is so true. I was on two different classes of hypertension meds. My BP was not stabilizing at all. Instead of letting me resolve my sleep apnea issues, the doctor wanted to increase my dosage on the medication. Once I got my sleep apnea under control, I no longer required the medication. My BP is now 110/78 consistently.
Once again, thank you for such a validating video. For a few years now, I have been putting together a spreadsheet before every annual cardiologist appointment that documents my BP taken twice a day at the same times. Without a doubt, it is sky high at his office and while getting my echo done in preparation for his appointment. On the other hand, during other times, it is borderline low, with occasional readings of 80s/50s (perilously low, in my mind); and he looks at it, smiles and does nothing. I continue to take Losartan and Metoprolol. The reason I see him every year is because I had valve repair surgery 11 years ago. But after all this time, the valve is still just fine, and I believed them about the BP. We're going to have to have a serious chat this month! Thanks again!!
Great job on this video! It was informative and well presented! You went into the main points without getting too deep into everything. Excellent! I really appreciate this kind of quality content.
MY bp is high for 3yrs now.160/114. The doctor told me i have kidney infection ckd egfr60.i spoke to a pharmacist and told me to take my nifecard 30mg when I'm going to bed.i started seeing slight changes 140/95. Now i can sleep well well.i don't feel any headache anymore. I am still fighting it to come down

@@johnnykayyesl5548 ,, Are you obese ? Do you do daily exercise such as walking? Do you get enough sleep ? Are you stressed prone ? Do you smoke? Do you have high cholesterol?? I recommend that you drink a glass of warm lemon juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. You may add 2 cloves of garlic to the mixture. But wait for 10 minutes. Good luck!
Hey... Thank you very much for this video. I'm under 7 blood pressure meds. My pressure was very high (246/134) that I was in ICU for days. Kindly let me know how I can reach you for advice on the meds I'm taking because my pressure is still at 140/98. Thanks.
You need to find a high blood pressure specialist my daughter was just refer to one she saw one today they're running other tests like for her kidneys and other medical problems.
I’m going to try staying off the Meloxicam and see if I can get my BP down it fluctuates from 140/ to 160/ but BP meds are hard on the kidneys so gonna try this now.
What is the best way to test for primary aldosterone? My mom has been on 3 medications at once for blood pressure. Her blood pressure can be 170/90 in the hospital the bottom number will go to 120. She has had 2 strokes now.
I have that had a blood test resin one where you have to lay down for 30.minutes still at blood centre then they take blood while you are lying down showed my aldosterone was very high have to see a specialist reason for my high blood pressure don't know if it is the reason for my dizziness.
Sir, my mother who daily walks 40mins, her cardiologist put her on additional 2.5mg S(-) Amlodipine after 80mg of Azilsartan Medoxomil was not working alone. We did Renal Doppler test that came out to be normal. Tsh and all others you mentioned also normal. Still it's 170/90 sometimes. Could you suggest any other possibilities?
@@Vorheez_thegreat nope just increased the dosage of amplodipine. It's still high sometimes but kinda controlled now. Encourage to walk daily and breathing relaxing exercises.
I had cholesterol, triglycerides meds for one month. Everything went well. Lab test all normal. But why is my bp rises? Im on medication losartan 50mg and amlodipine5mg
They keep changing the level of acceptable BP. What was acceptable a decade or so ago and before, is now considered ELEVATED. Why is there a one size fits all whether you are 5 foot tall and small or 6 ft 6 and overweight? My bp tablets say don’t take potassium supplements. It worries me as my foods are containing lots of it.
I’m taking amlodipine 5MG everyday and my bp is always stable. I think it only elevated due to stress so my doctor prescribed it to me. I hope to get off meds after the trial period as my cholesterol went up as well. Can I eat unhealthy sometimes? I’ve been eating healthy for a month now, I eat brown rice and more veges now and I lost weight. I’m just scared to eat out as it might bring sudden spike in my bp.
I need bp meds but nothing works. I flat lined during knee surgery. No doctor will help me with sleep apnea. I stop breathing. Wake up every one and a half hours. I have chronic pain from nerve damage fron extreme vertigo. Cant take pain meds due to gastritis, gerd
Elevated blood pressure is not a typical side effect of Singulair, but I've heard isolated reports of people who attribute their elevated BP to initiating Singulair. There are some few studies that seem to suggest, so, but most of those studies were small and didn't control for other factors that can potentially affect BP. I guess the best way will be to work with your doc to see if they can identify some trends and patterns in your case. All the best.
@@HealthRX Thank you that’s very helpful! Have you ever heard of a person having good readings 115/70 and decent numbers for a month or so than with nothing else changing getting not good readings steadily 136/84. It freaks me out and I’m struggling to know how or why this could happen and what I can do about it? I feel like this isn’t normal?

Glad you got things under control. Knowledge is power, you know. All the best.
@@HealthRX It was a huge blessing not to be on the medication anymore.
Often, they dont take the time to really talk to patients
ur dctor is a nub

How are you feeling currently?
I know someone who just experienced the same thing.
How are u feeling now I’m going threw the same thing
I’m going to try staying off the Meloxicam and see if I can get my BP down it fluctuates from 140/ to 160/ but BP meds are hard on the kidneys so gonna try this now.
Wow very wise and educated.
Low magnesium and/or potassium can cause it too, and the BP medicine can cause it to be lower, causing hypokalemia.
Wow didn’t know that
Organic beet root,Hawthorne berry and many other natural things help just as good asbp meds with reg exercise
Thanks Dr. you know your stuff

Spinal issues is the root cause of BP.

I’m on amlodipine to 10 mg and losartan trying to get it under control
@@jamescorsey6041how is your bp now?
@@chrislimcoro4508 it’s a little better now
None of this applies to me… I’m at a good weight, diet, workout regime, and no other issues. Still have bp that’s way over 140/90.
I need bp meds but nothing works. I flat lined during knee surgery. No doctor will help me with sleep apnea. I stop breathing. Wake up every one and a half hours. I have chronic pain from nerve damage fron extreme vertigo. Cant take pain meds due to gastritis, gerd
You do not need help with Sleep apnea. Just go and buy a cpap machine.
Thanks brother
