Type of medication used is a important factor... but in general, it takes from 7 to 15 days for an effect on blood pressure.

Can you donate blood while taking high blood pressure medication?

Yes. Potential volunteer blood donors are eligible if their Systolic pressure is 180 mmHg or less and Diastolic is 100 mmHg or less. As long as the blood pressure at the time of donation is within acceptable limits, blood pressure medication is of no concern.


What happens when you give someone with low blood pressure high blood pressure medicine?

I would think that to most people that what would happen would be fairly obvious, that it would, or could dangerously lower your blood pressure causing strokes, heart failure or death. As a hypertensive person myself (having high blood pressure) I take very strong timed release medication that to me makes me feel the effects all day long: from tightness in the chest to shortness of breath. All in all if someone with normal, or low blood pressure took my medication it would be extremely dangerous and foolhardy to do so.

Can docusate sodium cause high blood pressure?

I cannot say that it will raise blood pressure for everyone since there are many causes for HBP. In my personal case, yes it did. However, it only raised by 5-10 points and for a sporadic use it shouldn't be too much of a concern as long as your HBP is controlled by medication.


All of the statements below are appropriate patient education for a patient starting on an antihypertensive EXCEPT?

All of the statements below are appropriate patient education for a patient starting on an antihypertensive EXCEPT: "You can stop taking the medication once your blood pressure is normal." This statement is inappropriate because antihypertensive medications typically need to be taken long-term to maintain blood pressure control, even if the patient feels well or their readings improve. It's important to emphasize adherence to the medication regimen and regular monitoring of blood pressure.

Can you control high blood pressure?

Yes, it can be controlled with medication. Some people can also control it with weight loss and moderately increased exercise, although some medication may still be needed. High blood pressure can result in heart and kidney disease as well as stokes. You can't feel high blood pressure and many people do not know they have it until damage is done. In the US you can check your blood pressure routinely (for free) at an automated meter at the drugstore to be sure it is kept well under control. Medication can have reduced affect after long term use, so be sure to check it often and inform your health care professional if you are on medication but your blood pressure is not well controlled.
