| *Women health>>>High Blood Pressure |
Today I visited the cardiologist for the 1st time after having high blood pressure readings for the last 3-6 m |
onth or so. A echo cardiograph was done my primary care physician did an EKG, which was little abnormal however she prescribe some hbp (High blood pressure) medication which I just started taking yesterday. today my bp reading was good 120/80. My results of the echocardiograph says that my mitral valve on the left side is leaking a little bit of blood; and I should be fine. I go back in 2 weeks for the stress test. Help I am also started a new job which required me to take a physical when the physical was conducted my bp was really high know they say I need a release to work. Who should I ask for my clearance? the cardiologist or my primary care? the reason I ask this I am to start the job on 11/22. and my stress test is in 12/6 the dr. said he would do one after all of the test were done. Should I be concerned because the cardiologist says that " I should be alright" Do I continue taking the medication the High blood pressure medication. I've had high blood pressure all my life until I added ViaViente to my diet (I'm 39 years old and high BP runs in my family). It is a 100%, natural whole food juice that is clinically proven to reduce blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar, joint pain and muscle pain (among many other ailments). My personal trainer/nutritionist recommended it to me. I had tried a lot of dietary changes, including high cardio workouts to reduce my blood pressure. Nothing worked. Upon taking the advice of my trainer, I was able to lower my blood pressure about 23 points after 3 weeks of religiously drinking ViaViente (I take 4 ounces a day...which is equivalent to 20 servings of fruits and veggies). It has now been a total of 3 months and it lowered another 7 points. It is normal and stable now and has not been high since. I highly recommend it for blood pressure, particularly if you want to go a natural route. Source(s): www.viabenefits.com (additional testimonials) www.myviaoffice.com/lynette (additional product information) High blood pressure (aka hypertension) is a condition unto itself that left untreated predisposes you to heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems over time. So 'you should be fine' means that you should be fine if you take the medication provided and continue to have well controlled blood pressure. The cardiologist did not say to stop taking the medication rather was saying if things stand as they are, you should be okay. I am trying to wrap my brain around how you imagine that your blood pressure was so high that your work place needed a clearance for your to begin work and thinking it might be the right thing to stop the medication...definitely do NOT stop the medication. If you want to try some lifestyle changes as the respondant above suggested, great but do not stop the medication until it has been verified that you have accomplished changes that really have positively affected your blood pressure. A single person's good experience is not scientific evidence that you will have the same experience. Your health is too important to listen to "Sunday School Medicine." Listen to the professionals who are offering their best professional advice to you - advice that has experience and scientific evidence to support it. I doubt that your cardiologist will write a clearance until he/she has had a chance to evaluate you - including the stress test, with an opportunity to evaluate the results. It appears you will not be starting until some time in December after your studies. Good luck. Physician assistant - cardiology |
