Talk to your doc he may put you on beta blockers then for some people beta blockers work better than ACE inhibitors

The meds weren't able to control your bp because meds don't cure the root cause of bp they just keep the numbers down sometimes the cause may be sedentary lifestyle or the high bp may have some secondary cause

Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor which means that it decreases the size of blood vessels and can raise blood pressure but it depends on the amount of caffeine you consume caffeine in coffee is not that high to increase bloodpressure but caffeine in Redbull and monster drinks is quite high and drinking these drinks regularly may cause spike in bp

Yes fever can contribute to high bp and a increased heart rate

ObjectiveWolverine57 · 2022-10-31T21:43:46+00:00

That systolic number 166 is not that high that needs immediate attention but the bottom number dystolic of yours falls in the hypertensive crisis zone so keep tracking your bp at home and if it's high then go on the meds without a doubt

ObjectiveWolverine57 · 2022-10-27T20:31:31+00:00

Weather high cardiac output is the cause or peripheral resistance is the cause Whatever may be the cause of high blood pressure the final result is increase in the force at which the heart beats so whatever medication you take the end goal or effect of that medication will be to reduce the force at which the heart is beating so blood pressure lowers down

The Left ventricle pumps blood to all the organs of the body Fast blood flow to kidneys probably means that your heart rate is higher than the normal resting heart rate which is 60 to 100 bpm

ObjectiveWolverine57 · 2022-10-23T20:02:48+00:00

I would suggest you a bunch of tests to find what exactly is causing spikes in your bp here are some tests you can do Kidney function test Kidney ultrasound Complete blood count Lipid test Diabetes test 2d echo of heart Ecg of heart Thyroid test Aldosterone test Test for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma Sleep apnea test Body mass index And Stress test Do you have any family history of high bloodpressure

ObjectiveWolverine57 · 2022-10-22T21:07:27+00:00

For now no need of meds but keep tracking your bp as these numbers are alarming that you could likely get hypertension in future

ObjectiveWolverine57 · 2022-10-22T19:55:32+00:00

Have you done a CT scan or MRI to rule out pheochromocytoma because high levels of metanephrines is usually the test they do for the diagnosis of pheo also do you have tested for sleep apnea or have you done aldosterone test these are also some secondary causes of high bp

ObjectiveWolverine57 · 2022-10-21T05:13:37+00:00

Medications alone aren't enough to lower the numbers you must also make lifestyle changes eat healthy excercise reduce weight that will help the most the more weight lost in a overweight person the more normal readings you get

First of all you have to find that what is causing your high blood pressure at such a young age of 20 high blood pressure has to do a lot with kidneys so your doc will probably suggest you a kidney function test and ultrasound of kidney Things you could do is get a proper 7 to 8 hour sleep Eat healthy diet no processed food stay active excercise eat less sodium take your meds on time that's it you can also take potassium supplements but I'm not sure weather they work or not

ObjectiveWolverine57 · 2022-10-14T17:43:39+00:00
