Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 62.. I Have Type 2 Diabetes and high LDL cholesterol (145) …However by BP was always good …however over the last week by BP start shooting up... I had a terrible headache during sex last Sunday (no Viagra or anything like that)...Checked BP right after and it was 127/78...However on Monday my BP shot up 190/110. I was prescribed Losartan (50mg) before so I took 2 which brought BP to normal levels.. On Wednesday morning it shot up again to 195/105..took Losartan again went to the emergency room ( they warned me I could have had stroke)…However BP went down to 130/74 and emergency doctors said nothing major happened no stroke or heart issues form EKG ...then saw my GP Doctor who says that he doesn’t think anything major is wrong but he doubled the Lostaran to 100mg a day. Took Lostartan as prescribed and BP still went up late yesterday to 160/92 ... All during this period I have a constant headache…I just got up and my BP Right now is 127/82 but my pulse rate is 109 (pulse rate seems too high) ..woke up with a tingle between my left toes …l also have had a slight uncomfort/heavy feeling in my left arm all through the process....ANY THOUGHTS ON WHAT"S WRONG AND WHAT I SHOULD DO ?????
