Suggest Treatment For High BP While On Medication For High Creatinine Levels
I am taking herbalife and on high protein diet to reduce visceral fats. My creatinine became slightly higher so give, this medicine. On my second day of taking this medicine, my blood pressure shoot to 170/100. Is this due to the medicine. what should i do?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I don't think that this can come from medicine. I suggest you to control for some days your blood pressure, do a sonography of your rens to see if there is any problem with them. Control again your creatinine level. If your renal sonography is fine and creatinine level decreases, that means that your rens are fine and you might need to start a treatment for high blood pressure, if the values of the days that you controlled it were high.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
