Suggest Remedy For High Blood Pressure

I have been to the emergency room the last 2 days with blood pressures of 250/160. they give me labetalol and drop it down and turn me loose. the next day the pressure is right back up. I am seeing a cardiologist in a couple of days but all my blood work and EKG come back normal. I am on 7 different blood pressure meds without any relief. My ejection fraction is at a 40. Any sugestions.

Hello,

Your actual anti-hypertensive therapy does not seem to be effective in controlling high blood pressure.

Coming to this point, some changes in your actual therapy may be needed (increase in the dose or add new drugs).

I would like to know your current therapy, in order to be able to suggest any possible changes that can be done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
