Can Blood Pressure And Diabetes Medication Be Taken Between 4 Hour's Gap?
Question: I took blood pressure and sugar medicine at four o clock and at eight oclock not meaning to
Brief Answer:
salt and fluid raise blood pressure, sugar/juice/soda/ raise blood sugar
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned.
The most obvious consequences would be a large decrease in your blood pressure and blood sugar.
Both of these may be treated at home once they do not go too low.
Blood pressure: most persons with high blood pressure are told to reduce their salt intake and reduce fluids to try and reduce blood pressure
Since you are concerned about a low blood pressure, you should increase both your salt and fluid (liquids ) slightly, this would help to increase the blood pressure.
Blood sugar: if you have a blood sugar machine, you can monitor your readings. If your value goes less than 4/72, then it is too low and you should take sugar or honey.
A 1/2 cup of juice or soda would also increase blood sugar, if it goes too low
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
