Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yes I am a 38 ye old female who was on Corey for 6 months after a heart event( doctor wont call it attack cause hearts normal and no blockages I basically overdosed on a pain killer accidentally ) I was taken off Corey 10 days ago and now my blood pressure reads 148 over 50 will it get better? I exercise and eat vegetarian.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I understand your concern and would explain that your blood pressure values are above the normal ranges (the systoli blood pressure ). For this reason, I would recommend reducing salt and caffeine intake and closely monitor your blood pressure, frequently during the day.
If these blood pressure values persist, I would recommend restarting Coreg. Some blood lab tests are necessary too:
- Complete blood count for anemia
- Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- Kidney and liver function tests
- Fasting glucose
- Blood electrolytes.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
