I'm a bit worried because I've been checking my blood pressure at home for the last couple of days, and its been around 13585. Its usually about 12075 with the Telma 40 I'm taking, which I started after having COVID. I also had my wisdom tooth taken out a couple of days ago. Is this spike in my blood pressure something I should be concerned about?

It is normal for blood pressure to fluctuate, especially after a dental procedure like wisdom tooth extraction. However, since your blood pressure readings have been consistently higher for the past two days, it is important to monitor it closely. In this situation, it would be advisable to consult your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage or considering additional treatment options. In the meantime, you can also try to reduce stress, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure around 175110 and usually manage it with Amlopress AT, but lately, Ive had to take Calcigard 5mg and Lasix 40mg to try and control it. It seems to help for a bit, but then my pressure goes right back up after a few hours. What could be causing this, and is there something else I should be doing or considering? My pulse is around 63 if thats important.
. It seems like your blood pressure is not well controlled with the current medication. I would recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your treatment plan. In addition to your current medications, you may benefit from adding a different class of antihypertensive medication such as an ACE inhibitor or a beta-blocker. For example, you can consider adding a medication like Concor 5mg (beta-blocker) or Ramipril 5mg (ACE inhibitor) to help better control your blood pressure. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
