My blood pressure got up to 238/138 about 6 yrs. ago when I started having high blood pressure. Always before that it ran like 96/72; anyway it was usually low. In the past week it has run anywhere from 177/135 with a heart rate of 130 to 115/86. Anyone else have this fluctuation? I am currently on Nifedipine, Lisinopril, Chlorthalid, Lopressor, and Catapres when the upper number is over 150. I have an appt. with a cardiologist Nov.27th to try to find out what is going on. Any one out there have these problems? My grandmother had uncontrollable blood pressure and died when she was 54 because it shut down her kidneys. Of course that was back in the 50's but it scares me to death because I also have Lupus.

Hi Pamela! I myself do not have High Blood Pressure, but I know it very well as it runs in my family. Many close to me have dealt with it, so it has pretty much become apart of my life as well. I have a friend whose blood pressure would fluctuate and no matter how many medications his doctor put him on, nothing seemed to help. I would like to suggest to you an alternative option. Have you ever heard of Limu? My friend had decided to try it out and within a week his blood pressure went to normal and it stabilized. He has now been drinking Limu for a little over a year and is off his medications. I don't know how you feel about alternative options, but I thought I would suggest you do a little research on it. Let me know what you think. I would be happy to help. Hope you find what your looking for!

I take 2 Blood Pressure Meds, Cardizum CD and Zestril. Then I take HCTZ and Klor-Con to help keep my blood pressure under control.
My mother's side of the family just about all has high blood pressure so I have live around it my entire life. I would be better if your doctor could get yours down toward normal and keep it there.
