MD hi, it depends on the way your body metabolizes the food you take. In a healthy adult, it may happen when he takes high carbohydrate diet during nights than during day time. fasting sugar is mainly dependent on how much your liver releases glucose whereas pp depends on the glucose released from...

hi, I have been diagnosed with hypertension for about a year now, and am in my young teen years. my doctors have been trying to find out what is causing it for a long while now. I have recently had an operation, during my operation my blood pressure went down to normal (107/72) when it is normally at 145/90, whilst on medication. does this mean that I don't have hypertension?
MD Hi
Blood pressure can decrease during and after surgery due to spinal anaesthesia. If you had BP better to check regularly.If it is raised on three continuos visit you have to take drug for that.And you have to get checked for causative factors also if it is raised.Hope this help you
thanks

MD i am suffering from anxiety at present due to recent seperation from husband and work stress.

MD hello. i am a 52 yr old female and have been taking tablets for high bp for 2 years. recently my bp has been very high and i dont know how to get it down. i take my tablets properly but still its going up. last reading was 224 over 107. can u advise me
MD I am having heart problems. One week a go I was rushed into hospital with high blood pressure of 180/100 and put on a drip etc to calm down. I have suffered similar attacks for about 2 years since I moved from England to Mexico. I often have panic attacks and this seems to cause the high blood pressure. The problem I have now is that every time I panic I think that I am going to have a heart attack which makes me panic further and I end up back in a hospital bed. The doctors did a basic electrical scan of my heart and found nothing at the time. I have lowered my sodium intake since and tried to reduce stress. I was given some pills to help with the process of recovery. The pills do help and my blood pressure seems to be lower, it can now go as long as 88/45, but in an instant of panic it can rise very high and stay there for long periods until I try and calm myself or visit a doctor. I´m only 27 years old and I am beginning to be scared every time I miss a breathe. Is there anything more I can do? Do I need to see an expert? I am living in Mexico and everything is expensive and I´m finding things difficult.
MD Hi Dr. Sam. I withdrew fron Effexor total of 225. mg. I went to 150 mg. for 10 days. then .75 mg. for 10 days. This is day 4 of Freedom. I had flu like symtoms for 4 days on the first reduction. Then brain zaps and unable to sleep more than an hour or so for 2 days..and then I slept four full hours 2 nights ago and last night I slept for 6 hours. I have other symtoms but can manage those okay. However..today even though I had the energy to get lots done.. as soon as I lie down to rest or sleep... a fresh new hell has hit...itchiness all over and even feet bottoms... jumping from one place of my body to another. I am a Gillian Barre survivor... and on 10 mg Felodipine for High blood pressure. Is there anything I can do beyond prayer to help myself fast track through this phase of the withdrawl? My attitude is good...and the Effexor was to help me during a time of anxiety...long gone.. this is much worse..but I am not giving up! Thank you for any advice/help as you may be able to give me!
