If you have Hypertension will your blood pressure ever go down without medication?

January 21st, 2009
jamie asked:


I am wondering because I have a lot of anxiety and when I take my blood pressure it jumps around depending on how nervous I get. Sometimes it can be 140/90 and sometimes 121/76. I was wondering if I had Hypertension would my blood pressure ever be able to go down to normal or is it just always high for people with Hypertension? So if mine is 121/76 just once I should be OK?

Thanks…

Can pulmonary hypertension be diagnosed/ruled out through a CT scan?

January 21st, 2009
monkey mom asked:


I have had all of the symptoms of PPH for several weeks. Doctors have done an EKG (pulse was 118), chest x-rays, and a CT scan of my chest (ruling out pulmonary embollism). They also did a ton of blood work that all came back normal. I’m currently waiting to hear results of my blood sedementation test. They said they had no clue and I should just be relieved after the CT, but I’m not. Does anyone know if they could have already ruled out pulmonary hypertension?

Can you have Pregnancy induced hypertension if you bp is good?

January 19th, 2009
baby1august asked:


I am almost 25 weeks and have been going to the drs weekly since 19 weeks due to high blood pressure at 19 weeks. Since 19 weeks though my bp has been great. (today it was 120/78). Today she told me I was measuring big (yikes I gained 3 pounds this week but I had mild swelling in my feet) and she is having me get an ultra sound done and sent me over for blood work also. On the paper that I have to give the labs it said “measuring big for date” and “Pregnancy induced Hypertension”.

I guess I thought PIH was if you had high blood pressure? And is me measuring big a sign of PIH? Everything I read on the internet doesn’t mention measuring big as PIH.

What if you tried really hard and you got your blood pressure in a good range and you got yourself off medications… are you still classified as having hypertension because you had it at one time?

How can I get over “white coat hypertension?” My blood pressure always hikes up when I go to the doctor.

January 15th, 2009
Sven asked:


Every time I go they want to put me on blood pressure medication, which I always refuse because my blood pressure is ONLY high at the doctor’s. I hate doctors and the sight of one makes my blood pressure take a jump. It is perfectly normal the rest of the time; I know this because I went out and bought an electronic monitor to check it at home. It’s always normal.

Any tricks to keep it from jumping at the doctor’s office? I’m really sick of having this conversation every time I go.

I have intracranial hypertension (can lead to blindness) and fasting is this safe I got save my eyes?

January 12th, 2009
latinatexas asked:


I have been on a low calorie diet for 2 months and I have lost 35 lbs in 2 months I also walked 3-5 miles a day to reverse the intracranial hypertension. This illness increases pressure on the optic nerve and causes it to become damaged and you can go blind. The most effective way to end this illness is weight lost. I am 25 and do not want to go blind! Any ideas!

Hypertension?

January 11th, 2009
freezerfairy asked:


It is said that increased cardiac output may be an early feature, followed by increased peripheral resistance and normalisation of cardiac output.
The increased peripheral resistance is developed in a compensatory manner to prevent the raised pressure being transmitted to the capillary bed where it would substantially affect homeostasis.
What i don’t understand is why is peripheral resistance developed when cardiac output increased? How does this mechanism work?
And does this only apply to essential hypertension?
Thanks.
