If you have Uncontrolled or Drug Resistant Hypertension, & you are taking 3 or more antihypertensive meds, take a moment and look back at all the attempts your PCP made to control your BP. Is it possible that your PCP made one of these 3 common missteps? β€œIn Case you Missed It”. . I C Y M I πŸ«€

Can Antihypertensive Drugs Help Reduce The Risk Of Dementia?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 41%. (I'm a bot)


> According to a new study, taking certain types of antihypertensive drugs is associated with a lower risk of dementia among the elderly, which has added to the debates surrounding the association between cognitive decline and hypertension.

> Many studies have linked high blood pressure to a higher risk of dementia.

> Last year, an article that appeared in the journal Neurology found that high blood pressure is associated with a higher risk of experiencing brain lesions, which are often linked to dementia.

> Dr. Bohlken added, "In view of this, our most important task is to find existing therapies that are associated with a reduction in dementia risk or at least an extension of the time to dementia onset."

> The study researchers found that those who took certain high blood pressure drugs, including beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor blockers, seemed to have a lower risk of dementia.

> In spite of these promising results, study co-author and professor Karel Kostev said, "Antihypertensive therapy alone cannot guarantee that dementia will never occur. However, these findings highlight the importance of the prescription of antihypertensive drugs in the context of preventing hypertension-associated cognitive decline." The investigators explained that further studies are required to look for more details at the association between antihypertensive drugs and dementia risk.

Increasing Secretion of Growth Hormone by Using Antihypertensive Drugs (clonidine & moxonidine).

Does anybody here have an experience with Clonidine?

I'm reading Russian steroid wiki (can't link because they link to sources), and found link to this study: Growth hormone secretion in response to the new centrally acting antihypertensive agent moxonidine in normal human subjects: comparison to clonidine and GHRH. in section about growth hormone.

Side note: can somebody share a full paper?

This study mentions Clonidine which seems to be a wonder drug:

  1. it's dirt cheap ($6 for month supply at 0.3mg/day)

  2. decreases blood pressure, which may be beneficial with AAS use

  3. GH increased very strongly

  4. can be used to treat ADHD

Particularly it seems that it was about 1/3 as effective as 1 microgram/kg of intravenous GHRP.

Clonidine (after 0.3mg): from 0.2 +/- 0.1 to 5.4 +/- 1.5 ng/ml (p < 0.05).

versus

GHRP (after 1mcg/kg i.v.): from 0.01 +/- 0.05 to 14.8 +/- 2.5 ng/ml (p < 0.05).

What blood concentrations of GH are achieved after injections of legit growth hormones?

What about concentrations of GH after GHRP protocols?

And again: does anybody here have an experience with Clonidine?

Why are known side effects of drugs put down as allergies?

The allergy section of drug charts has quickly become one of my biggest pet peeves since starting F1.

I'm seeing more and more ludicrous stuff being put as "allergies"

Examples include: Bisoprolol - bradycardia; spironolactone - high potassium; codeine - constipation

No shit Sherlock.

Sometimes I've spoken to patients about these "allergies" and they don't even recall ever having it! So it makes me wonder who even listed it as an allergy.

Also, sometimes I've found myself in awkward situations where I am lost to find a suitable drug to prescribe because the patient is listed as being allergic to all antihypertensive medications with no reaction being given for when they take it.

Anyway, end of rant, have a good Christmas!

My mother has had a blood pressure of 200/110 for months

Hello everyone, I need your help. Everything started when one morning, a few months ago, my mother woke up with a blood pressure of over 190 mmHg. After a few days of constant high pressure, she went to the doc and got some medicaments that temporarily helped her, but after some time it started happening again. At one point she got covid, so she didn't work for almost a month and a half, and during that time everything was perfectly fine. She has 48 years and her mother died of a heart attack around the same age that my mother has now.

The interesting thing is that she has high pressure only when she goes to the job, usually in the morning, even before getting there, but the pressure mostly stays during all day. When she is home everything is fine. She is overweight (15 kilos) and smokes from time to time, but nothing special tho. Do you have any idea what could be the cause of this?
