User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends exactly which tablets but generally do not take decingestant tablets or pills if you have high blood pressure. The safest type to take is topical nasal sprays as they tend not to affect the whole body like tablets.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist before using a decongestant.

One thing that you ought to know is that there are a lot of controversies around this issue.

Important_Notice:_Drug_Interactions">Important Notice:Drug Interactions

If you are currently taking any drugs or supplements that affect blood pressure (especially those that lower it), always consult you doctor to ensure you aren't do anything acutely harmful to your body, or slowly deteriorating your liver.

Although not meant to be taken as conclusive advice/evidence (as stated on Drugs.com's disclaimer), Drugs.com can offer you some insight on the the known pharmacological reactions between a list of various drugs and chemicals (See "interactions" section). Low doses are strongly advised if you decide to take multiple substances, although I strongly discourage this experimentation unless you know what you have is labelled properly, they dont potentiate certain fatal synmptoms liek respiratory depression.

It is important that you follow the advice of health officials which is: Yes [well it's not a "yes, go and drink" more of an assurance that if you "drink moderately; you will likely have a good time and not blackout" YMMV, always do a small amount when testing something new test anything new while under the residual effects of the previously injested chemical.

Does nasal saline solution cause high blood pressure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My blood pressure is normally low high - 140/90. I received a IV saline solution (water and sodium chloride of 0.90%) a few nights ago and noticed my blood pressure dropped. In the subsequent days, I have been drinking saline water. I am always using sea salt in the water to get the other needed minerals. I am drinking at least 2 quarts of water a day and adding about 1/4 teaspoon to one of the quarts. My blood pressure is 117/78 this morning. I had been told by Dr. Robert Thompson (author of "The Calcium Lie") that I needed to consume sodium. I was hesitant since I was also told that sodium is bad for us. I therefor avoided salt. I now believe the key is being properly hydrated and having the proper balance of water, sodium, and other minerals just as Dr. Robert Thompson writes about.

Why is hypertension called hypertension?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's called "essential" because there is no secondary cause. For example, some people have hypertension because of renal disease, medication side effects, endocrine disorders. If you have hypertension that is not part of some other disorder it is called essential hypertension. A related term would be primary or even idiopathic (no known cause).

Is protandim good for high blood pressure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Protandim acts on the molecular and cellular level to trigger the body to produce superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione and other enzymes that regulate anti-oxidants also know as free radicals. These enzymes naturally decrease as we age. These free radicals, while necessary in small amounts, cause tremendous damage when they are not kept in check. The result of unchecked anti-oxidants is oxidative stress - disease, discomfort, and general malaise. Diabetes is one of many diseases whose side effects are always worse when oxidative stress is higher. Control oxidative stress and your general health is improved. While there is no direct evidence that Protandim decreases the effects of diabetes (yet - studies are ongoing) it is undisputed that Protandim helps check many of the negative effects that are common to diabetes and to oxidative stress.

What is the safest pain reliever to take when you have high blood pressure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the hypertension medication. If you want a pain killer that does not increase blood pressure, then paracetamol is a good choice. The worst choice would be anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac. These medications can increase the blood pressure by themselves. In addition, they tend to interact with hypertension medications. For example, these medications increase the risk of renal failure with ACE-inhibitors and sartans, and may also increase the risk of hyperkalaemia with these medications too. Opioid analgesics do not increase blood pressure, however they may interact with anti-hypertensives that are drowsy, such as methyldopa.

Your best bet is to check with a pharmacist or doctor before using anything because it can get very complex.
