MD I am taking benicar for high blood pressure, but i was 25 pounds over weight and my blood pressure was high along with high cholesterol at 274. I have now lost 15 pounds only having 10 to 15 to go and my cholesterol has dropped down to 174. My blood pressure had been running 127/80 and it has been 114/60 for the last two weeks. Is that low and should I quit taking it?
MD I have BP that goes from high 130-145 over high 80-95 with a pulse rate of 90 s. I am on a low dose of Metoprolol and now BP is better, 115-125/75-85, but, pulse is still around 77-90. I still don t feel right as my initial symptom before meds was feeling pressure in my head and like i was dizzy or going to pass out. What else could be at play? Should I try other meds? I am worried that my diastolic and pulse are still high.
MD I ve never really used this site before, but meh I figure I d give it a shot. Is it normal for my blood pressure to lower after taking regular medication like omerperzzle and the generic for kerafate? Like, it used to be 120 over 90 regularly, as I m 366 lbs [and i ve been trying to lose weight], but lately it s been pretty low, like 100 over 80. Should I be worried? I was recently at the ER, and they said my heart was fine and everything looked normal.

MD Dr. Oz, I know you're show is geared mostly towards women but I really am in dyer need of help. I'm a 22 year old male and I'm currently taking two 20mg instant release Adderalls a day. My blood pressure is normal on a daily basis, but high blood pressure and heart disease does run in my family. My concern is in regards to Erectile Disfunction. It is a real self confidence killer! My penis doesn't get fully erect when I'm about to have sex, its hard but not where it can stay up the air hard..excuse the reference. Also some other times it will get hard, but it will not stay that way for long amounts of time. Does anyone know why this could be? I also have trouble staying hard. For example if it slips out, there is a switch of positions,or the slightest distraction, it wont remain hard. I take adderall but don't notice a difference in this when I take it and when I don't. I exercise regularly (4-5x a week) and eat relatively healthy(for a college student). I am stressed a lot and i know that could be a cause of my problems. but does anyone have any ideas? Also is it to early for someone my age (22) to take pills such as viagra or cialis? What are the long term side effects?

MD I am 74 years old and have experienced hot flushes since menopause (at age 54). I experience moderate to high blood pressure and most medications for this make my symptoms worse. I have heart palpitations during these uncomfortable symptoms, experience fatigue and have night sweats which wake me up. I have Sjoegren's Syndrome with Sicca, and Peripehral neuropathy and most other aging symptoms. I don't have dementia, thankfully, but I am curious as to whether hot flushes are impacting on my blood pressure and contributing to my anxieties or could it be caused by my thyroid? My tests show a normal reading for my thyroid. I also had cancer of the uterus, grade 1, and had everything removed nine years ago and have remained cancer free to date. I hope you can help me find a way to improve the situation as I don't have any blocked arteries or heart problems so it is a mystery to me. I am worried about the impact it may eventually have on my heart. Sincerely yours,
MD Hello.
I'm male.
I'm 45 years old and I got high pressure blood since 17. I am currently taking 5 drugs to control (not at all) my high pressure blood.
In a recent Renal Angiography was discovered that I have my left kidney hypotrophic with important loss of parenchyma in the middle and lower thirds.
Analyses of plasma renin revealed that is high.
This hypotrophic kidney (left) is working by 37% and 63% right according to a renal scintigraphy.
The recommendation of my doctor(nephrology) is to get me out my hypotrophic kidney to control the high pressure blood and avoid having to take so many drugs.
What is your opinion on this?
