I have a 38 year old son on Prozac and Bustpar. He also has anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Just for the heck of it I took his blood pressure the other day and it was 147/104. I wanted to take him to ER but we would not allow it. It has come down a little. I have 10md Lisinopril I am not using now. Would it be safe to get him started on one or 1/2 a day. He is on Buckyeye Insurance here in Ohio and no specialty doctors will take him as a patient. He also suffer from severe Fibromyagia so bad sometimes he can t stand to have his shirt touch his skin. How can I get help, Please? God Bless Denise
Dear; It is very important to take care of uncontrolled blood pressure. He needs to start lifestyle modification with a low salt diet, exercise 20-30 minutes daily and weight control. The complete evaluation with physical examination and laboratory is important too. I understand your concern about his medical condition, but it is not recommendable to medicate without having a medical professional supervision. Fibromyalgia wont interfere with hypertension treatment but can be controlled with medication too, as Combat and Novella. I hope you will be able to convince him.
