The blood pressure medications prescribed to you by your doctor may be doing more harm than good, a surprising study published in the American Journal of Hypertension found. The study researchers investigated approximately 1000 residents of New York City that were involved in a city-wide program to fight high blood pressure.
While blood pressure medications lowered blood pressure across the board, a significant number of individuals found themselves with higher blood pressure levels after taking anti-hypertension medication. Approximately 7 percent of those in the study suffered from these counterintuitive effects. The study found that beta blockers and ACE inhibitors were the two classes of high blood pressure drugs most likely to boost blood pressure levels.

Bystolic immediately raised my BP and threw me into horrible anxiety and panic attacks!!!!!!
It took 4 weeks, four medical practioners, an ER visit and constant BP med changes before finding a combo of meds to regulate my BP. I was mostly bedridden and very sick for two months!!!!!! Daily doses of Xanax allied me to get through it all. I wasn’t sure I was going to live.
Dr Stephen Sinatra’s “awesome foursome” of nutrients didn’t help until I got the liquid l-carnitine which worked immediately to give my heart the energy to recover. I’m working on guided deep breathing exercises with barely heard music in the background and walk two times a day now (finally) for ten minutes. EFT doesn’t work for me anymore because of the shock my body took with all those med changes that nearly killed me. My nervous system is in need of much healing. The meds thickened the walls of my heart and enlarged my left ventricle. In time I know the awesome foursome will allow the heart to heal. I’m also working with a doc on balancing my neurotransmitters. I’m going to try to wean myself off of my calcium channel blockers. By the way, magnesium
is a natural calcium channel blocker, obviously I wasn’t taking enough for me.
STAY OFF blood pressure meds if at all possible. Make LIFESTYLE changes and save your health!
Which specific blood pressure medications were used in the test?
My blood presure on this medication at the moment is working superb.My blood pressure is low and at normal levels is there any other side effects.
Many thanks alan.
I have been taking blood pressure medication on and off for about 5 to 7 years. IN recent years I have been lazy at taking them . I do not want to take them , but when I go to my doctor I have extremely high blood pressure up to 200 .They keep telling me I am going to die and make long faces , my current doctor wants me to get on statins too. The medication that I have been taking is Karavazede ; which has Irbesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in it , and Adalat Oros containing Nifedipine , this is a channel blocker .
I still want to get completely off these medicines . But as this article says , taking these medications can cause high blood pressure.Is it possible that I have been experiencing this ? How does one wean oneself off these medications easily and safely? Also I have high triglycerides and I have read somewhere that taking these medicines may also be causing high cholesterol, that anything with “thiazides combined with any antihypertensive agent s , including beta blockers increase blood tryglycrides!” I am taking a channel blocker I do not know if it is the same as a beta blocker, is it ? My last blood test says I have a coronary risk .
I have had enough , I want to get off this and no longer have to keep checking .But I do not know how to stop it without causing the pressure to go up in stopping the medication . Can you advise? If i am on your program to lower blood pressure how will I know when to go off the medications ?
hi Christian, very good research, you did! Blood pressure is a main problem in Germany, too. The translation of your writings looks awefull, so a person, not familiar with English language, will dismiss your recommendations, as it sounds weird for him, that s.o is presenting his text in such a way.
I would like to make you an offer: I am willing, to translate your text into German and assist you in ,arketing approaches. Let me hear from you, Mick
