Blood Pressure creeping up.

[jomamma007]

So over the last month my blood pressure has randomly gone up from 120/70 to around 145-160/80.
Not quite sure why but this is causing me vision issues and lightheartedness. Also get a little dizzy when I stand up.
Just ruled out diabetes a month ago so I'm not quite sure what's going on. No matter how much water I drink my piss is yellow and I feel dehydrated quite a bit.
My estrogen was 19 on the sensitive panel so I doubt it's that.

What could be causing this

Hello,

Get full labs done and review all medication being taken as well as your diet to further look into this. What did your physician say?

Damn, that's a nice looking (and complete) blood test.

Blood pressure can vary by the minute, so I wouldn't sweat it unless you see it staying there. Of course your doctor will hopefully have something to add; but I'm betting your vision and dizzy spells are related to something else. Ear infections or even a cold involving the sinuses and nasal cavity can cause those symptoms for instance.

I'm not a doctor, but I personally wouldn't worry too much about that bp or your blood test results. I am curious about the high ferritin, but there are a lot of reasons for that too which can be explained away pretty easily. Do us a favor though; when you do find out what's causing your issues, can you update your thread so we can add to our arsenal of knowledge?

 

[jomamma007]

Will update, but it's been a consistent month of high bp as well as vision issues which I am sure isn't coincidental.

Why not try taking blood pressure medication to see if it helps? You go off later and see if the symptoms return.

Well let me fill you guys in on my nitemare with BP meds. My doc started me on BP pills not for my BP but for severe migraines I was having. Well I went through 6 types over a year and none of them worked. And guess what they totally effed my libido and gave me ED. So finally I did my own research and decided to try Lisinopril. Now my neurologist would not prescribe it to me and my doc didn't want to but I was persistent. The reason being Lisinopril relaxes your blood vessels. Opposite of what most doc's believe in fixing migraines. Well guess what between the physical therapy and lisinopril my migraines started to subside. Also an improvement in my ED and libido. But I noticed something still wasn't right along with mood issues depression etc. I decided to have a blood test. Not even knowing what trt was. Well my total and free were very low. Been on trt now for 21 weeks and along with assistance with 5mg of clialis every other day I'm a completely new man.

If you don't have high blood pressure and take blood pressure medication you can difintely get ED. Your BP can get too low for you to get and/or maintain an erection.

But if you have high BP and lower it to a normal level with medication you should be fine. You just have to be careful with cialis since it lowers BP too. Don't want to get your BP too low.
