No. Opiates are not for the use of lowering blood pressure, unless your doctor is confused.
It will, to an extent, due to its calming euphoric effects. It's not recommended to take in place of regular blood pressure medications. I believe it does, because when you withdrawal from opiates, your blood pressure rises. This could be due to anxiety, however. Stick with blood pressure meds, trust me.
Yes Nitrates lower blood pressure. This is because nitrates open up the blood vessels. When this happens the blood exerts less pressure because it can flow more
Stress activates the sympathetic nervous system which does increase the blood pressure. Many medications effect blood pressure, too many to name.
No, Norvasc (amlodipine) does not contain nitrates. It is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and angina, while nitrates are a different class of medications used to treat angina and heart conditions.
Opioid based painkillers (such as morphine, codeine etc...) have an anti-hypertensive effect (blood pressure lowering effect); however the effect is only visible on quite high dosages, which can create other side-effects, hence why opiates are not used to control high blood pressure. NSAIDS (such as ibuprofen) in most people do not have a measurable effect on blood-pressure either way. Paracetamol also does not affect blood-pressure.
anti-hypertensive medications..there are many kinds of these which work differently to lower the blood pressure
YES
No, amphetamine-like stimulants would be contraindicated in antihypertensive medications.
Dry hair is not a proven side effect of blood pressure medications. However, hair loss has been reported with some blood pressure medications.
Hi Jeanne-the amount of blood pressure medications and the specific combination prescribed is based upon multiple factors. These include coexisting medical problems, other medications and potential interactions, severity of the high blood pressure, response to blood pressure medications, and side effects. Sometimes, several medications may be necessary to control high blood pressure-this might be because one medication didn't work well enough or perhaps due to a side effect or difficulty tolerating the medication. In your case, you are on three medications for blood pressure (labetalol, doxazoxin, amlodipine) and a diuretic (spironolactone). Diuretics are sometimes used for blood pressure, and the blood pressure medications you are taking are of three separate classes, which is appropriate, but I can't say much more about the specifics. Your doctor has chosen your specific combination of medications taking into consideration all the factors I mentioned above. The other medicines (Zettia, lexapro, and vitamin D), do not treat high blood pressure. Your doctor can explain his or her reasoning for the prescribed blood pressure regimen.
Most blood pressure medications are taken as a preventive method or for controlling the rise of blood pressure. In light of this, a pro re nata (PRN) order from your doctor or cardiologist is unlikely. However, if the medication is for controlling acute systems of blood pressure, it is usually used pro re nata.
