I’m not taking the med for that purpose. I’m taking it for anxiety but it’s also meant to lower your blood pressure for those with high blood pressure.

What medication stops high blood pressure?

August 11th, 2011
Star asked:


Let’s say someone is in the hospital and their blood pressure is going up too high at a dangerous rate. They need to stop it right away. What medication would they use to lower someone’s blood pressure?

One more question. Let’s say a doctor gives someone too much blood thinner, how would they reverse that? What kind of medication cancels out a blood thinner?

I’m writing a medical mystery story and I want to have my facts right. I’m not a doctor and I was curious about these things.

Could someone please explain to me how a high blood pressure flowing in arteries can speed up or make plaque build up in your arteries? This isn’t making sense to me. I thought it had more to do with lipids/cholesterol…

When diagnosing high blood pressure, how do doctors differentiate between a heart problem and a fluid problem?

July 13th, 2011
J asked:


Usually when someone is diagnosed with high blood pressure, a doctor will either put the patient on a Beta Blocker or Calcium Channel Blocker if it’s a heart problem or a Diuretic if it’s a fluid problem.

My question is — How does the doctor differentiate between a heart problem that causes high blood pressure or a fluid problem that causes high blood pressure?
