Is it safe to use nicotine patches while taking blood pressure medicine?

Absolutely, smoking can cause high blood pressure, and the patch is the same chemical that is in a cigarette - nicotine. Of course, there are other reasons that you can have high blood pressure, and you cannot diagnose youself based on that alone. In addition, whether it is caused by the patch or not, drastic increases in blood pressure can be deadly. See your doctor and tell him/her all that is going on, including wearing the patch. Your doctor will be able to evaluate the situation.

Taking your blood pressure at home?
After you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, your doctor may ask you to keep track of your blood pressure by measuring it at home. There are devices that are easy to use and can help you monitor your blood pressure at home. Practice with your doctor or nurse to make sure you are taking your blood pressure correctly. Compare your home machine with the one at your doctor's office to be sure it is reading correctly.Reviewed ByReview Date: 04/17/2009David C.
