Q: May I take my bloodpressure medication any time of the day or does it need to be taken in the morning.?
I take avalide once a day.

A: It doesn’t matter. You can take it any time of day, AM or PM. I would try to take it around the same time frame every day (just for the sole reason of creating a routine) but if you forget to take it or are unable for some reason, just take it as soon as you remember.

It’s just important that you have a continuous daily dosage and will still have the same response regardless of time as long as you still take it daily.

However, certain medications do require the same time daily, but BP is not one of them.

Q: When following a LOW CARB diet, how conterproductive is using blood pressure drugs and cholesterol drugs?
When folloing a low carb diet, how conterproductive is using Avalide which includes 12.5 mgs of diuretic in it and using crestor for cholesterol reduction? i have followed low carb diets with much success in the past. but this time around i lost about 15 lbs and stopped losing. the only difference is i am taking blood pressure and cholesterol medications

A: How long ago did you successfully use the Low Carb diet? Age can have a major effect on your metabolism. And judging from the drugs you are on – I would say you don’t exercise much. If you are eating the same amounts as you did back then and are at the same activity level, then I would say your metabolism has naturally decreased over time. It is time to get back in the gym, and exercise (with your doctors approval) to boost your metabolism – it is something you should be doing anyways.

Q: 75 y/o female having undiagnosed heart and blood pressure problems – PLEASE HELP!?
I am seeking help for my 75 year old mother who is having heart and blood pressure related “spells” for the past 3 weeks but which have gone undiagnosed by the doctors.

Here are the details:
• Has been on high blood pressure medications for many, many years without incident (Avalide, Ziac and Norvasc)
• Approx 3 weeks ago she started having “spells” where her heart would pound in her head, her face and ears become red and hot, feels nauseous and gets a headache, has ringing in her ears, stomach and chest feel hot, and the hot feeling radiates into both arms but is worse on the left, blood pressure goes WAY up (has been as high as 214/114)
• These episodes have woken her up out of a dead sleep usually around 4 or 5am
• Has had to call 911 two or three times, and has been transported to the hospital, but they haven’t been able to find any evidence of a heart attack or abnormality
• Family doctor put her on a 24 hour holter monitor which showed 9 abnormalities (don’t know what those were), so he sent her to a cardiologist
• Cardiologist changed her medications to: Metoprolol Tartrate (25 mg twice a day), and Lisinopril 10 mg once a day, which she’s been on for 2 weeks now
• Cardiologist also gave her a holter monitor to wear for a week, but she never had a major spell during that time
• D/C’d holter monitor Thursday, and ended up having her worst spell ever this morning. Called 911 and paramedics took her to the hospital. Gave her an aspirin at home, plus 2 nitroglycerine pills, and another in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. The paramedic said she was having some atrial fibrillation on the EKG but this didn’t show at the hospital. The nitroglycerine did help a lot – brought her BP down and helped the other symptoms, but while she was at the hospital, her cardiologist came to see her and said the results of her week-long holter monitor showed no clogged arteries (I didn’t know you could see this on a holter monitor), but since she didn’t have one of these really bad episodes while wearing the monitor, the doctor said he thought she might need to wear one for a month. He also doubled the amount of the two blood pressure meds he has her taking. Since they couldn’t find any other problem, however, they sent her home.
• In spite of the fact that her meds have been changed and she’s being monitored by a cardiologist, her episodes are getting worse
• One other piece of information – she had a stress test in February 2010 that was normal

At this point her cardiologist seems to be stumped but something is obviously wrong and I am very, very worried. If someone (preferably a doctor) has any ideas about what may be going on with her, PLEASE let me know. If you aren’t a doctor but have either experienced something like this yourself or with someone you know and think you can help, please share your information too.

Thank you so much for your time!

Sincerely,
Tammy

A: There are very few doctors who have time to answer questions on Yahoo Answers. It sounds like your mother is having intermittent atrial fibrillation and her cardiologist is using the Metoprolol to try to prevent this from occurring (this is a heart rate control medication which also lowers blood pressure). They have also probably tested her thyroid function since it can give similar symptoms. Since she had no episodes while wearing the monitor, she needs to follow his recommendation for wearing it for a longer period so that they can catch episodes of whatever rhythm might be occurring. If this is atrial fibrillation, medications may be used to stop this from occurring. She probably also needs another stress test since these episodes are occuring after her last stress test – the test itself may bring on the rhythm disturbance so they could actually she the rhythm occurring. It can take multiple medication changes or dosage adjustments to get rhythm disturbances and elevated blood pressure under control which can require many doctor visits. Both of the dosages you have listed are beginning doses and may need to be increased to control the symptoms. You can go to WebMd.com and type in atrial fibrillation and read up on this condition. You can also type in low sodium, cardiac diet which lists foods that your mother should be avoiding. Salt is one of the offenders for high blood pressure. She needs to keep working with her doctors until she gets to the right medication and dosage that will control her symptoms.
