Suggest Remedy For High Blood Pressure

Hi, I am 62 years old and have had high bood pressure virtually all my life. Since Oct 2013 I ve had problems with shortness of breath and being totally exausted after the slightest exertion. On tues June 23 I was scheduled for a cardio catheterzation and after about 5hrs the told me they could not do it because of kidney failure. That was tuesday, I still have not beern refered to a urologist or nephroligist I feel terrible and today I m haveing trouble urinating. I ve been taking furosimide but I stopped on last tuesday... Am I in danger? Could an ER help me? Would furosimide help me urinate without hurting my kidneys?

Hello
welcome to hcm
high blood pressure along with difficuilty in respiration indicates towards CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE....U require detailed clinical n lab evaluation for that...frusemide is not the solution to your problem,infact as u have kidney failure it can lead to electrolyte imbalance n other problems...the best medicine for high bp in kidney failure are ACE INHIBITORS as they not only control bp but alsohave a protective role for damaged kidney n heart so you should ask your doctor to consider starting ACE INHIBITORS and you should also consult a nephrologist for evaluation of ur kidney functions...
