Suggest Treatment For Hypertension And Hives
My son had surgery for a deviated septum on Aug. 4th, 2010. He had an allergic reaction to dilaudid and morphine (hives). Since his surgery he has developed hypertension and is only 17 years old. I can think of nothing else to cause this other than one or both of the drugs he was given. Could this be the likely cause?

Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that morphine is not a cause to develop hypertension in your son's case it can be most likely due to hereditary hypertension or anxiety.
If his BP is more than 140/90 then kindly consult a physician personally for proper management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
