I know Gaba helps you sleep better but can you take it if you are taking high blood pressure medication?

No, you should not take Gaba with any kind of blood pressure medication. This is because Gaba is linked to lowered blood pressure and your blood pressure could get too low.

What is the average age of onset for sciatica?

It is most common in people who are between 30 and 50 years of age, as those are the ages most prone to herniating vertebral disks.

Can hypertension result in a high output of sodium in urine?

well we know during severe hypertension narrowing of arterioles and arteries takes place it is common

because of narrowed arteries provides resistance to blood flow hence its flow to lower extremeties ceases and glomerular filtration doesnot occur properly

as filtration decreases the sodium ions and chloride ions are not filtered and remained in the blood we can note that there is a decreased amount of sodium ions in distal tubule of nephron so there is insufficient of ions to transport across the macula densa cells of juxtraglomerular apparatus which are very close to distal tubule of nephron thus on compensation these cells triggers to release renin, after several pathway in the body like renin cleaves a peptide called angiotensinogen -->angiotensin-1---->angiotensin-2(A-2), so this A-2 is useful for glomerular filtration by constricting efferent arteriole more and more than afferent arteriole in order to increase the amount of blood to remain in glomerulus for filtration,,, people might expect that here the glomerular filtration occurs and more sodium ions are excreted but how long ? no it happens for short time because A-2 is responsible for constriction of important arteries and arterioles mainly happens when hypertension is severe thus blood flow decreases and even sufficent blood doesnt reaches to afferent arteriole of glomerulus thus filtration ceases and sodium and chloride ions are not excreted

beside A-2 is also responsible for formation of aldosterone whose main function is retention of water sodium and chloride ions in distal tubule after filtration but the potassium ions are excreted

silly !!!!!!!this stupid A-2 is also responsible for antidiuretic hormone from pituatary gland thus totally retention retention retention of water sodiium and chloride ;;;;;;he he he

ok so the answer is NO, DURING HYPERTENSION the sodium doesnot excreted in large quantities nevertheless less than the normal

so this is the physiology on the view of this, we can probably say the answer : NO

"of my level best i explained if any thing wrong please reply"

if any thing ambigious please reply

Where did high blood pressure originate from?

Blood pressure measures the smount of pressure on the wall of?

Blood pressure is is sometimes called arterial blood pressure. It is caused by circulating blood on the walls of arteries. When the heart beats, it does not have a constant pressure. It rests slightly in between beats. There is a maximum called systolic and a minimum called diastolic. The pressure is measured in the upper arm at the brachial artery. The BP is expressed in systolic pressure over diastolic pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and normal blood pressure for an adult is 120/80.

What beta blockers to treat angina and high blood pressure may not be effective when taking calcium channel blockers?

Beta-blockers, such as atenolol (Tenormin), propranolol (Inderal), and metoprolol (Lopressor), used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and other conditions.

How are the mechanisms of action of frusemide and losartan in treating hypertension different?

Frusemide is a loop diruetic. It prevents the reabsorption of NaCl at the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Less sodium will result in less water in retained in the body so the blood volume decreases. Although the mechanisms of diruetics is not exactly known, it is believed that it causes a reduction in blood volume which leads to decreased blood pressure. It is also believed that reducing the amount of Na+ in the body leads to a reduction of intracellular Ca2+, resulting in the muscles being less receptive to endogenous vasoconstrictors.

Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker. It blocks the angiotensin I receptor. This leads to less angiotensin II being produced. Angiotensin II itself is a vasodilator and it can also cause aldosterone and the antidiruetic hormone to be released. Both aldosterone and the antidiruetic hormone leads to the kidney to retain salt and this leads to more water being retained in the body resulting in a greater blood volume and a greater blood pressure. As Losartan inhibits angiotensin I receptors, it can prevent the release of angiotensin II and hence these effects.

What is the potential complications of performing a dental extraction on a patient with a very high blood pressure?

It is not indicated to extract someone's tooth if their diastolic blood pressure (the second number) is over 100. Some dentists don't take blood pressure before treatment. It would just be a gamble, it could go fine, or she could go into hypertensive crisis.

What substance should people with high blood pressure restrict?

Salt is not the cause of high blood pressure - it is vital for regulating the blood pressure. You should NOT avoid salt. Drink more water instead - and stop drinking other beverages such as soft drinks, coffee, energy drinks, tea, etc. These drinks cause dehydration - the underlying cause of high blood pressure.

Why would pulmonary arteries be relatively small at the fetal stage of development?

The pulmonary artery is the artery that takes blood to the lungs to get oxygen. Because the fetus doesn't breathe, but rather gains oxygen from its mother, it doesn't need this artery as much, and so it doesn't develop as fast, so that more of the energy used for growth can be put where it's needed.

What type of blood pressure med cause impontiance?

The antihypertensive drugs most commonly associated with erectile dysfunction are diuretics (eg hydrochorthiazide) and beta blockers. eg Propranolol.

However, if you read the small print, many other drugs also have occasional reports of this, for example ACE inhibitors and calcium antagonists.

If you are suffering from this problem, you should try changing medication - there are many options and most people can find one that will not affect their sex - life.

It must be done with your doctor's supervision.
