What could have caused high BP? (Ceruvin A , Rozat f ????) Whats your advice please?
Hi, Certain A and Road f that you use for preventing further blood clot and stroke does not increase your blood pressure. In fact many studies show that they reduce blood pressure. There are 3 possibilities to your recent rise in blood pressure1. A new onset renal failure either due to HIV or blood clots in your renal artery or vein. You will need to do bloods for creatinine and urinalysis and also Doppler of renal artery and vein.2. There could be a new valvular heart problem that comes with age called aortic stenosis, so you will need to evaluated by physician for the same. He/She may want to do Echocardiography for the same.3. There is also a possibility that your blood vessels have become stiff with age called arteriosclerosis and thus causing hypertension. While you will need to continue your medications you will also need evaluation to find the cause for the same. Will be happy to review further.
