what is considered a normal/healthy fluctuation in blood pressure? just diag.w/CAD-coronary atherosclerosis?
08
Jun
i am in my late 20’s, diagnosed with mitral valve regurg at age 12 and last week was diagnosed with chronic ischemic heart disease-coronary atherosclerosis ( CAD) and also unspecified essential hypertension…my blood pressure has been perfect my entire life until very recently and i’ve just in the past 6 months had the symptoms that made me go to my cardiologist last week that led to my CAD diagnosis.
my resting heart rate now is averaging about 115 and i could only last 5 minutes on the exercise nuclear stress test before i reached my max. heart rate…my bp today has gone from its lowest of 114/80 pulse 116 to the highest of 149/101 pulse 84…why would my pulse go down so much when my bp increased and vice versa? at one point today i was having intense chest pains and shortness of breath and my bp was 149/97 pulse 105…any knowledge on this would be appreciated! i go to my cardiodoc tuesday to discuss angiocardiography so if anyone knows about those, please share too! thanks!
Is there a correlations between hypertension and high cholesterol?

It seems that people who have high blood pressure often have high cholesterol as well. Is there any correlation between the two? Do they go hand in hand?
What does creatinine of 2.4 and BUN 50 mean?
07
Jun
My grandmother who is 84 years old is normally pretty active (still works part-time) and who lives alone had a recent abnormal lab value. She had a creatinine of 2.4 and BUN of 50. I am scared for her. We discovered this values after taking her to the doctor for a congested cough and some disorentation. She was diagnosed with “a bad case of bronchitis”. She has a history of diabetes and hypertension. She has no symptoms related to her kidneys. Do these levels get this elevated from just dehydration or does she has something underlying? As far as I know all of her electrolytes were okay with the expetion of a slightly hight potassium. If anyone, can give me some advice or an opinion on her lab values I would appreciate it. Thanks

Physical Effects from being in army?
05

My husband has been out of the army for 4 years now. Symptoms of PTSD have been showed recently. He has a hard time controlling his anger and has stress induced hypertension(high blood pressure) ; he receives disablility for such. However, he is currently trying to file a claim for a stomach and bowel condition that he has been experiencing ever since being discharged and its seems like its been getting worse as time progesses. He is always having to go to the restroom multiple times throughout the day to make a bowel movement; he wakes up to go to work for 6a and he’s already went to the bathroom 2 or 3 times already! Its very uncomfortable for him to go because he has to rush to the restroom as if he is about to make a bowel movement on his self. His bowels are explosive and the consistency changes from sometimes being loose to constipated. He has bad stomach cramps that are so bad that sometimes he cant make it to work! I feel so bad for him!
I tell him that he needs tell the doctor every detail so they can help him. However, they still try to make it seem like his condition has nothing to do with being in the army which is a bunch bull crap. They say they have on record him going to the medic about his stomach hurting once and that it wasnt like it is now. They say that when he was discharged he didnt make any complaints so therefore its nothing related to being in the military! I GUESS THEY DONT THINK SYMPTOMS CAN GET WORSER DOWN THE LINE!! I’m just vey upset and concerned and wish he wouldnt have to feel like this. It seems like no doctor-NO VA DOCTOR is able to diagnose his condition. Has anyone experienced something of the like? What can he do to feel more comfortable going to restroom? It seems as if he is more concerned about getting the claim for his condition to get more disablility more than curing his condition.I completely understand that and I think that compensation is well deserved .
However, I think no amount of money can measure up to the pain he will have to deal with for the rest of his life!
He was deployed in Baqubah,Iraq

My elderly aunt’s blood pressure has become significantly lower than before—it is now 75/66. Should we be concerned? What can be done to increase her blood pressure to a much healthier level?
O.K., I’m REALLY confused now…would bleeding through the mouth in a cat be caused by “natural” causes?
04
Jun
I lost my 19 year old Persian cat this afternoon…..she began bleeding from the mouth….she had not shown any other signs of distress earlier in the day. She had previously been diagnosed (a little over a year ago with hypertension and renal disease). We were giving her meds for the blood pressure. Her appetite was normal- she had just eaten about 2 hours earlier. The vet said “she bled internally”. So, could a stoke cause those symptoms? I’ve never heard of that happening in humans. I’m worried about some type of poison???
Can you have Pregnancy induced hypertension if you bp is good?
03
Jun
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.

Very simple question, but very important for me (paxil users)?
02
Jun
I started using rexetin (same as paxil) a week ago, first two days – 10 mg, then 20 mg a day every morning. At the beginning i was experiencing adverse effects like hypertension, flu-like symptoms, insomnia, but now i don’t feel them anymore. As well as i don’t feel ANY KIND of positive effects. NONE. Is it still going to work for me? And how will i feel when it will kick in? Just wake up one day eat a pill, and feel unusual effects from it? Or is it going to start gradually?
