How Can High BP Be Managed While Siffering From Ventricular Tachycardia?
I am a 60 year old female and have high blood pressure. Currently I take 200mg Toprol, 100mg Losartan Pptassium, 100mg Hydral anazine a low dose aspirin daily. My systolic pressure is not being controlled for the past three months and runs anywhere from the 150 s to 190 s. My diastolic is usually in the 80 s and 90 s. I have an ICD and have isolated V Tach so I am unable to take some drugs that help with high blood pressure. I just had blood work done a couple of weeks ago and my creatin (sp) came back high at 1.2.

The clinical symptoms matters the great, if you go on taking the blood pressure reading with your own on and often, it will show great numbers of fluctuation ideally you need to consult the doctor, hypertension is long term management and regular follow up is very important, let the physician read the pressure you just pay attention on your health and clinical symptoms else it is nothing to worry, for antihypertensive management you need to follow the prescription of cardiologist only, it can not be changed or alter the dosage temporary.
