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.
My daughter has fibromyalgia and her blood pressure fluctuates between 122/84 and 155/105. She takes Lyrica and nortryptiline and I understand these may cause her blood pressure to rise. Should I be concerned? Is there anything she can do to keep it lower? Thanks.
Apart from medications, I would like to suggest best working remedies to keep her BP controlled. • Salt restricted diet • Plenty of liquids to maintain her hydration • Regular walking in fresh air, regular light exercises at home • Yoga and meditations for 40 to 50 minutes daily without failure • Avoid stress, anxiety, smoking, alcohol, if using • Regular sound sleep of 7 to 8 hours • Engage her more in her likelihood activities
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Purva Patel
