My blood pressure remains 160/100 in the age at 58. What best medicines can anyone prescribe?

Question

Currently taking Co-eziday and lodopin 5mg. 1 each (Morning) and atenalol 1 tab in the evening.

Answer 1

ATONALLY 50 mg. daily in the morning is sufficient apart from having sodium (Common salt) less diet. Also some regular exercises or walking of about 5 km in the morning, is needed. With this your BP should come down considerably ay to 140/90 or even 130/80.

If you have anyother complications, please act as per your cardiologist advice. Please arrange to take a ECG/EKG once by a Cardiologist to ensure everything is normal.

Best wishes.-

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Answer 3

First of all, there is no such thing as "the blood pressure", so "it" can't be either high nor low. There are four different pressures, all of which perform different functions, behave differently, don't rise and fall together, and they simply can't be lumped together and called "the Blood Pressure" That's just silly, and sloppy science. The way the cardiovascular system works is match "supply" with "demand, by varying Mean Arterial Pressure while also varying the impedance to blood flow by dilating or constricting blood vessels. It does this by varying both the pulse rate and the amount of blood pumped out at each stroke. So the Mean Pressure can NEVER be too high, - but of course -in cardiac failure, it can be too low. The brain sets the level of Mean pressure, which is {diastolic plus one-third of pulse-pressure} -pulse pressure being the difference between systolic (the top one) and diastolic (the lower one). It sets it at a level appropriate to deliver the correct bood supply to all the organs, including the heart, and the brain itself. Sometimes, in order to do this, higher than confortable levels of systolic pressures are the result. I don't know what age you are, but a rough rule of thumb for your systolic is "100 + your age".** (see source reference below). If it's wildly above that, it should be of concern. I swear by homeopathy, but only when orthodox medicine has failed you. So go see your doctor, and get the best advice and don't substitute homeopathic remedies until orthodoxy has failed. It probably will, because even the drugs companies admit that most of their medicines don't actually work! Then return to homeopathy. Inability to sleep has nothing to do with hypertension, and the pain in the back of your neck too is irrelevant. Get your doctor to investigate those separately. Pain relievers are mostly safe and effective, and sedatives to allow you to sleep (on a temporary basis) will assist.

Please monitor your blood pressure regularly.

Answer 6

You are on PRESCRIPTIONS and you aren't PERFECT? I takes TIME for any prescription to work, and you MUST take your pills 'as scheduled' ... and if your DOCTOR doesn't 'have a fit' but just 'warns you about your blood pressure' then you might try some 'meditation exercise' and some more PHYSICAL exercise, because those can help lower your BP 'naturally.'

Answer 7

Yikes! TOO high!! Because I have respiratory problems and asthma, I can't take, Beta Blockers or Calcium Blockers. I was put on vaso dilolators and hydroclorothyozide (water pill) and have had great results. Ask doc. about a vasodiolator.

Answer 8

Consult with your physician! My doc put me on Calan(a calcium channel blocker). My diastolic pressure always hung over 90. Since getting my BP under control,I no longer am getting cluster migraines! Good Luck! ;-)=

Answer 9

Only a licensed physician can Rx medicines. I am not familiar with these; so I assume you are not in US. It sounds like a lot for a simple hypertension.
