Common Causes of Uncontrollable High Blood Pressure:

Uncontrollable high blood pressure can be caused by number of reasons. If the person is taking medications for other conditions, these may be conflicting with the blood pressure medications. Cold medications, drinking alcohol, drugs can also raise blood pressure. Even some foods, such as grapefruit, or certain vitamin or herbal supplements may cause blood pressure medication to not work effectively.

Another reason blood pressure medication may not be working effectively could be because it is not being taken properly. Missed doses, skipping days of medication or stopping medication off and on because it is too expensive makes the medication ineffective. Try to take the medication on a regular schedule to ensure it is working to its full potential. If medication is too expensive, talk to the doctor about generic brands or a less expensive medication.
