At present I am taking bp medicines as under- stamlo 10 mg once a day, cardivas 25 mg twice a day, minipress xl 2.8 mg twice a day and arkamin 100 mcg fpr the last 8 years. But my pressure at present is in the range of 150-17- and 70-80 at sitting and supine position.in other words my systolic pressure always remains at a higher range. Pl review the above medicine and a switch over plan for effective control of blood pressure. One thing you may observe in my present medicine, there is dominance of alpha blocker. Pl advise.

This is what is called as refractory hypertension requiring multi drug therapy. A detailed evaluation to look into any correctable causes is very important in your case. Disorders like obstructive sleep apnoea, hypothyroidism, renal diseases must be ruled out. I would suggest you to visit a cardiologist nearby and get yourself evaluated. Also please get a renal arterial doppler done. Renal artery stenosis or in simple words blockage in vessels of the kidney is one correctable cause of hypertensi...more

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Your glucose levels are a bit high. Ideally fbg should be < 100 mg or closer to 100 mg & pp should be 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% <7 % above 60 years and <6.5% below 60 years (not given). To suggest any changes in medication I need to know your hba1c%, extent of daily exercise, dietary pattern, serum creatinine & urea plus lipid profile.

See as the new medicine is started it will take some time to adjust, see just watch for blood pressure keep recording at home for 3 times a day. Even if you find it to be high then do get consulted to the cardiologist ok.

As you have very high blood pressure and borderline kidney disease unless you take medicines your life will be in danger, you reduce diet and do exercises to get the best control of your health.

Asked for female, 71 years old from Chennai

This is for my mother who is 70 years of age. Sh is a known hypertensive since 2002 and has been on amlong 2.5mgm od, concor 5mgm bd, and minipress xl 2.5 MGM od. A few years ago some doctor put her on ecosprin 75mgm daily. Apart from that she takes calcium and multivitamin. Her bp used to always be 130 /70. But off late her bp was in the range of 140-150/76. So we consulted a physician and he made it concor with amlong 5/5mgm, and azilsartan 80 MGM once s day. With aspirin in the afternoon. Her bp is still 140-150/76. My question is is this the normal bp and I shouldn't worry about it ?ir is there some other medication that she should be on to bring the systolic to 130 range? And is aspirin actually required for her? Her echo shows concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and mild diastolic dysfunction. Her weight also is 76.8 and she hardly eats anything. Could it be due to salt retention from aspirin intake? Can I stop aspirin? Her platelets are 4.18 lakhs. Pls advice.

1) Aspirin (Ecosprin) does not cause high BP, it is given in this case for Heart attack prevention so please continue that
2) anti hypertensive medications needs to be adjusted periodically according to bP records and lab parameters for side effects. And usually not more than 2 or 3 drugs are needed. 3) you need to do these test for further assestment. KFT, ECG, STRESS ECHO, LIPID PROFILE. 4) Continue to take same BP medications but take them all early in the morning and measure BP twice dai...more

And the nephro has suggested following tablets at different frequencies currently as part of the medication: 1.Minipress 2.Cilacar 3.Concor 4.Ecosprin 5.Elketo 6.Elbiotic And he is taking Insulin (Human Actrapid) for diabetes.

These medicines are ok. It is important to keep both blood pressure and sugars under strict control. You need to follow nephrologist medical and dietary advice strictly so that the creatinine level stays at this level only. Needs regular follow up with nephrologist.

Minipress xl should not be stopped or changed with other drugs suddenly, it should be done gradually and under doctors supervision. Goodpress Xl 2.5 is the other brand for this.
