What Causes High BP Level While On Antibiotics And Diet Rich In Carbohydrates?
I have a heart condition and had a open heart operation in 2002. I control my BP with 25mg of metoprolol in am and pm. Also on Plavix. Most of the time the pressure is fine except after I take meds or supplements for killling of Candida in my intestines after years of antbiotics for Lyme Disease. Also when I eat carbs or sugar the blood presure goes up as high at 200/115 for about two hours. I googled it and it and several people said they are dealing with the same problem after eating and that it is normal. Please advise

Hello,
High blood pressure is not at all related to your diet. As of now consult a physician at the earliest and start on antihypertensives.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
