What could cause high BP?
Patient: Possible Drug Reaction I just found out yesterday I have High Blood pressure. I was given a prescription and felt fine. I took it again today and now I am having occasional breathing problems and my blood pressure is high and my pulse rate is low. What should I do? Doctor: Hello, I have gone through your query.Thanks for using for using HCM. Basically i should know what was the level of blood pressure when first time detected to be high.I also need to know what medicines were prescribed. I can guid only after knowing this detail. your should give some time to medicines to stabilise the pressure.You low heart rate might be due to Beta blockers if given to you,but it is not cause of worry. At this stage i can only suggest take regular medicine ,monitor BP and maintain contact with your treating doctor, My Best wishes  Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
