Since your question is in alternative medicine, I assume you don’t want a prescription. Eliminate all the salt from your diet. Reduce your weight.

I don’t know but as with everything,moderation is key.What you can do is probably stop drinking the tea for a few days and see if your blood pressure decreases or it can be caused by something else.Tea has caffeine so if you are not getting enough sleep that can cause stress on the body and this would result in an increase in blood pressure. Consult your doctor if you are having problems with your blood pressure.

I am not sure which side is swelling is on. But this is for a male that is between the ages of 25-35. Please respond asap. Thank you!
I meant to say what do you think the problem is with him since he is having these symtoms… it is someone that does not live in the US. We are just trying to think of different things that it COULD be..

As I’m sure you know, high blood pressure, the "silent killer" often has no symptoms. The symptoms it does have are often symptoms of other things as well.

Sudden swelling in face, neck and arms.
Chronic swelling of face, neck and arms.
Headache in the front of the head.
Blurred vision.
Pain around the liver.
Fatigue.

Those are the common symptoms.

Side of swelling makes little difference.

I have been on Norvasc 7.5 for a few years for blood pressure.Recently after a somewhat high b/p reading (124/94)my doctor also put me on a water pill.A month later a blood test showed my potassium was low, so now I am also on a potassium pill every day.I really don’t want to take all this medication.Why didn’t she just up my b/p medication?

Norvasc is a calcium channel blocker. Calcium channel blockers slow the rate at which calcium passes into the heart muscle and into the vessel walls, thus relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily, thus lowering blood pressure.

Diuretics also treat high blood pressure, although in a different way. They cause the body to rid excess salt and fluid. (One of the side effects of diuretics, as you’ve learned, is a decrease of potassium).

So, although both of these meds fight against high blood pressure, they do so in different manners. It is not uncommon for patients with hypertension to take several meds.

What the previous two answerers stated is also correct; the higher the dosage the higher the risk of side effects.

Norvasc is a long-lasting drug from the calcium channel blocker family that is used in the treatment of hypertension and for angina, which is chest pain that occurs when the heart does not receive enough blood. Amlodipine dilates the blood vessels and slows down the heart to reduce blood pressure.

High blood pressure is a lifelong disease. It can usually be controlled but not cured. Once you begin to manage it and start a treatment program, maintaining a lower blood pressure is easier. By controlling your high blood pressure, you’ll lower your risk of diseases like stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney disease. You can do it!

The first thing to do is to have your blood pressure checked. If you have high blood pressure, you can do a lot to reduce it. Work with your doctor to determine the best treatment for you.

It may include reducing the fat (particularly saturated fat) in your diet, eating less salt, and changing your lifestyle by losing weight and getting regular physical activity.
Quitting smoking is also important to reduce your overall risk for heart attack and stroke.
Your doctor may recommend reducing how much alcohol you drink.
Many medicines also can help reduce and control high blood pressure. Your doctor will decide whether you need medicine in addition to dietary and lifestyle changes.
Be sure to look at our patient education sheets on high blood pressure. These can be printed out and taken to your physician. There are spaces for you to ask questions and for your physician to write special instructions for you.
