I am 24 years old I have had high blood pressure since I was 18 years both parents have it also. For the last three months I have been having chest pain and they have not been able to get the pressure down. I have been hospitalized three times one time being in the ICU. The only test they have done are two different stress test and some EKGs. They have told me that the reason that I have chest pain is because when my blood pressure gets to high the artiries contract causeing pain. I am now taking 9 med which are Telmisartan 80mg, Isosrbide Mononit 60mg, Esomeprazole 40mg, Lisinopril/ HCT 20/12.5mg, Amlodipine10mg, Methyldopa 250mg, Furosemide 40mg, Simvastatn/Ezetimib 20/10mg,Colnidine 0.2mg, and I also take QuickNitro. With all these meds you would think my pressure would below but it is not. My PCP has me come and see him every two weeks while the Cardiac doctors tells me that it is going to take time to find out whats wrong. I also have some leakey valves there not the cause i hope.
Blood pressure does not effect your body temperature. A continuous low-grade fever might be a sign of an infection. See your doctor regarding this.
Would a prolonged low grade fever of 99.9 be a symptom of uncontrolled high blood pressure?

Number one, not all of your medications are for your blood pressure. You have not mentioned your weight, which has a big bearing on blood pressure control and your temperature. Some individuals may have a 99.9 temp as their "normal" core body temperature. You have also not mentioned if you smoke or drink, this also has a bearing on blood pressure and body temperature.

wow. ever have a renal angiogram?
your temp is not likely related to your blood pressure.

Your PCP should refer you to another specialist. Ask him to review your meds as well. If your not taking potassium chloride while on the lasix your playing russian roulette with your heart. Had potassium checked lately?

Did you take a treadmill stress test three months ago? I took the stress test and my heart got worse before and after pictures showed enlargement of my heart. cardiologist said "everything looked great" I had to get my own records to find the problem. If you had an echo look at the RV number and LV number next to them will be the normal number to compare with. Look at all the notes from the radiologist they will also identify problems that the cardiologist wont tell you….
The only thing working for me is not eating any salt, and eating protein powder shakes all day long, no big meals. easy swimming( doggy paddle or kick board), water walking .. I have the enlarged right ventricle that pushes the blood through the lungs and I cant do any exercise without pain, so I just get in the water at the YMCA and do slow water walking, even that hurts sometimes just being in the water lowers blood pressure And I have a little relief from the pain,, I took my Echo into my cardiologist and he denied that I have any heart enlargement…he looks at his toes and wont look me in the eye… My lung function goes down without exercise so I do deep breathing exercises while laying in bed to keep my lungs going. I'm going to show the echo to another cardiologist Tuesday I hope they have some help for me I'm 35 and its hard on my family and my girlfriend and friends also.. I have a day with little to no pain once in a while and I sure enjoy it…..Sounds like your taking allot of pills talk to a new doctor and maybe cut down on the pills and just do the low salt, low stress, just float in the water at the pool it is amazing how it lowers blood pressure. I'm sorry your hurting.

Eat less animal fat such as cheese, eggs and meat.

has your doctor ever referred you to a kidney specialist? And no, your temp would have nothing to do with your BP. Remember to take your meds as directed, follow up with your doc as instructed. good luck, your too young. Seriously, ask if you need to see a kidney doc.

Hi Victoria
Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is connected to high blood pressure, heart disease and infection, among other conditions.
It is something that is easy and inexpensive to correct.
We got scared out of the sun in the late 80s and no one bothered to tell us how we were going to get enough Vitamin D. Now, our lack of sun exposure is coming back to bite us in so many different ways.
Studies show that Vitamin D level is inversely correlated to blood pressure. Meaning, the lower your Vitamin D the higher your risk for high blood pressure.
Dr. Mercola, a proponent of vitamin D testing, strongly suggests getting most of your vitamin D from sunshine and during the rest of the year, or if you are dark-skinned (because dark-skinned people need many times more sun exposure), getting it from D3 supplements.
Mercola suggests your optimal tested level should be 45-50 ng/ml or 115-128 nmol/l. (see links below for the proper test)
The Canadian Cancer Society recently announced its recommendation that its population take a D3 supplement of 1000 IU daily.
Vitamin D researchers often suggest higher daily intake, and it is considered safe to take very large doses for short periods of time to correct acute deficiency.
Good luck!
