Question by : what does contraindicated in high blood pressure mean?
My doctor has given me this supplement called adrenal complex made by Standard Process. One of the cautions states “contraindicated in high blood pressure”. I take high blood pressure medicine and my doctor still says its ok to take this supplement although he did not explain what this meant. Anyone know?

Contraindicated means “don’t do it”.
But in ALL cases, your doctor is the best judge. in this case, he apparently feels that the potential good to your life out ways any potential side effects.
Still, you SHOULD call him and ask him some more detailed questions, like “what COULD happen if I take these two medicines together?”, or “How does this affect my blood pressure?”

ABC NEWS CHANNEL 7 – “We designed a double blind study to really look and see if in fact this procedure was affecting high blood pressure,” Twenty five patients got the real adjustment; 25 others got a fake adjustment. The result, publishe…d in the Journal of Human Hypertension, found those patients who got the real thing saw their blood pressure drop dramatically, an average of 17 points. That’s equivalent to giving patients two different blood pressure medications at once, said Dr. George Bakris, MD Read More Length:3:31
My husband has just been diagnosed with high blood pressure and was put on a low sodium diet. Further blood tests show his potassium levels are too high, so he is to avoid high potassium foods. What I have found suggests avoiding any salt substitutes or lite salt products, avoid whole grain breads and cereals, milk, yogurt, etc. The “heart healthy” diet his doctor gave him suggests eating whole grains and using “lite” salt as well as low-fat dairy products. So how do you balance the two conflicting diets?
Question by estaples: Why can’t people with a history of high blood pressure ride rollercoasters?
I’m young and I’m a runner. My doctor gave me the OK to run a marathon. In other words, I’m in great shape and I think that my body is well adapted to stress in general.
Still, I feel guilty when I go to theme parks and see the signs that say, “do not ride if you have high blood pressure”. What’s the worst that could happen?

As with yesterday, whenever i get worried or anxious or stressed, my blood pressure gets extremely high and i start having chest pains. like yesterday, it went up to 170 over 115 then after i was taken to the e.r. and calmed down my blood pressure was 130 or 75. Can having these bouts of high blood pressure be dangerous? Other than that, tests have ruled out heart problems.
Im diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder, psychosis, and anxiety disorders.
Question by Luke Skywalker: There’s no such parameter as “the blood pressure”?
A question to those who talk about “high blood pressure” or “low blood pressure”.
Is 150/90 higher or lower than 160/80? and if the third reading is 140/100, has “the blood pressure” risen? -or fallen?
What about 170/70? and 180/60? All these readings are actual, genuine clinical readings from a patient’s 24 hr. monitor record. He’s healthy and happy as clam.
I know exactly what each reading tells, how it comes about, and why.
Do you?
Thanks Wander Wonder. I’m grateful for your reply, but I didn’t ask if my patient was better off. Since I know there’s no such animal as “the blood pressure” therefore “it” can’t either rise or fall, what answerers would say. Your answer and caveat “exactly” doesn’t take the argument very much further forward, I think you”ll agree? I’m not being hostile. This is a most serious question, I assure you.
and if it “hasn’t exactly risen or fallen” what do you think it is? Please, – a number?
Mago, – thanks, I’m grateful, – but could you answer the questions? I didn’t want an opinion on the patient’s health (he’s actully a Cardiologist!). I simply asked the questions….perfectly reasonable, simple questions.

In each of these instances the blood pressure has not exactly risen or fallen. If the systolic goes down and the diastolic goes up you’re really no better off since that means even between beats your heart is exerting too much pressure, such as 140/100.
What do you think? Answer below!
I have untreated high blood pressure (usually around 144/99). I am taking my blood pressure each day to monitor the situation and establish what level I am at. I know I need to go on medication, but I want a medication that will have few side effects. I am particularly concerned about sexual side effects and I would still like to be able to have a couple drinks now and again.
I am 29, and have High blood pressure. I went to the dentist and they commented on my receding gums. I let them know about my blood pressure and they said some medications cause the receding gums…..is this true? And if it is true, what can I do to help my gums out??
