Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my husband has been in the hospital for 3 days and they can't seem to get his blood pressure down. they have done kidney tests ...raised his meds...nothing seems to work. he has had high blood pressure for 15 years and pretty much had it regulated till the last 2. the can't seem to find a cause and it is getting harder for me to get him to go to the Dr when all they want to say is you are stressed out....like he's crazy....it is just aggravating. please help
Stress and crazy aren't necessarily laying the problem at his doorstep. Sometimes parts of the brain that control blood pressure become spontaneously aroused and can cause problems that are very difficult to control. Your doctors will look for the things that we know to cause difficult to control high blood pressure (referred to as secondary causes). If none are found, there are also medicines to help with control of the brain's input though they are not specifically "blood pressure" medications.
