Hello doctors in d house, I didn't have bp issues all thru my pregnancy but developed it after my c section and since I put to bed I've been on drugs. My baby is 3 months and I'm still on it. Aldomet and nifedipine. They tried stopping d nifedipine and told me to be taking just aldomet 500mg twice daily when baby was 3 weeks but during my nxt appointment they said it rose to 130/80 hence I have to go back to taking nifedipine together with it. Haven't been having good rest cos of baby. I was told to do xray, ECG fbs urinalysis etc and d xray result said cardiomelagy mild 55%, and hypertensive cardiovascular changes. D rest results were good. I asked d doc that I saw today she reluctantly responded saying I will have to take d drugs for life. I'm just 33 years old is that diagnosis enough to decide that its chronic hypertension?

peteruuu:


Follow the medications ma.
The BP WHICH was 130/80 isn't that bad though.
You can go there later...or choose another good private hospital, the dosage of the drugs might be reviewed and you'll not have to take them like they say. And as times go by, you 'May' even have to be breaking either nifedipine or aldomet into 2 equal size(depending on the BP readings though. The systolic and diastolic isn't that bad. I've attended to patient's with BP readings of 200/170, and now, they're doing alright with the medications.
Just use your drugs religiously.

You may even have to skip a day as times go by(depending on your BP readings though).

MizJaY:


Alright Thanks doctor

I'm already on drugs so I'll pass besides heard hypertension has no cure, u can only control it. I still believe mine isn't chronic and will normalize with time. I just went thru a lot after d c section, my body was finding it so difficult after d operation that's why I'm facing this bp issue

d greatest medical scam doctors r dishing out everyday is dis bp stuff.d introduction of digital bp monitors is making people crazy n obsessive about bp numbers.ls now controlling their lifestyle.if u r passing through stress , fear or anxiety yr bp can rise.dat deos nt it won't come to its normal state.yes some people v chronic bp but in most cases if our doctors,pharm r nt patient enough to understand their patients before pumping dem with bp drugs.madam d trick is understanding yr body.buy a good validated digital bp monitor n study yr bp at home when u r relax.130/80 is nt a bad reading .l v an uncle dat his Bp shot up when he had problems with his left eye because of panic,fear n worry.d doctor was an Experienc doctor.he put on a low dosage bp drug .he was taking it every other day n drinking alot of water n exercises.after d eye operation his started coming down.he was taken off d bp medications.his bp numbers r still very alright after 3yrs.l repeat understand yr body.there is bp hospital in London.their speciality is handling bp issues.lf u visit there u will understand y I said Nigerian doctors r too much in hurry to label u an hypertensive patient!d test n what dey will do to u before concluding . there is ambulatory u will wear throughout d day to assess.make I stop here because am getting angry

MizJaY:


Thank you very much for that exactly my thots too. D doctor just carelessly told me I will take d drugs for life when I had to be d one to ask her that why are they still recommending drugs for me. She was acting so tired and didn't even give me any explanation why I will keep taking d drugs dats why I had to ask and yet still without explanation, she just responded to me; u will take it for life. Well God forbid. I rejected it in my heart there and then. My last appointment 4 weeks back my bp was 120/80 i was on d drugs and this apptmt it was 110/80 while on d drugs too. They didnt even talk about tapering the dose for me to watch how i will respond And no one has told me about exercising and healthy lifestyle all they keep doing is packing bp drugs for me to be swallowing. That's why I wanted to know if the xray result is proof that d bp is chronic. Immediately I told my brother in d UK, he told me something similar to what u said about how hospitals in UK handle this bp issue diligently. And just like u,he was also very angry with Nigerian hospitals. Hmmm it is well. God help me. I wished I had d privilege to travel n take proper care of myself. I now see why our politicians use d country's money to travel abroad to seek medical attention. It is well

engrelvis:
I dnt v issue with being diagnosed with bp but what I v issue with is giving me wrong diagnosis because u dnt know what you r doing.n den pumping me with drugs my body dnt need.since yr stylolic drop to 110 all dey v to do is to monitor it for d next few days n c.

MizJaY:


Hmm monitor for few days? When they have given me appointment for mid january and packed drugs that will last till that time for me before i can see a doctor again. Maybe I will look for a good Private hospital or doctor to be seeing personally. This one I'm going to is a teaching hospital. D drugs cost around 9k plus see as e full nylon fear catch me, I don't smoke nor drink at all. Its just d c section I had that led to this cos I know I was so much afraid before, during and after d operation that they had to be beating beat down my bp during d c section self. And i later developed post natal depression cos of all i went thru. During my pregnancy before delivery, my bp never rose once.

OK.pls update me

peteruuu:

God's healing hand be upon you in Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

peteruuu:

May I know the medications you've been taking?

And the 'nasty side effects' you stated in your comment?.

Funnyman:



Op please do as you are told by the doctor, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You are hypertensive but it's not the end of life as long as you are followed up. Your XRAY results shows it. It didn't start recently, it is an accumulated thing. Africans are especially at risk for high bp and with our recent love for western style diet and lack of adequate healthy lifestyle due to our economic situations are the reasons we have many hypertensive people around.

Vaspprin, Lisinopril and Nipidefin, side efect are Headache,neck and ear pain.

4godsake:
Doctor Peteruuu, I have been waiting to hear from you thanks.

engrelvis:
