Open Question: do painkillers such as Tylenol and Motrin raise blood pressure?
I was surfing the web, and ran across a site, (reuters.com) that stated that they do increase blood pressure and can cause heart disease and hypertension. If that is true then IM SCREWED!!! I suffer from severe inflammation around my jaw (tmj) that causes me some painful symptoms that are downright crippling. Without my pain relief, I cannot function. I also have a two-year-old, so I have to be up and running. Has anyone else heard of these types of pain relievers causing hypertension? And if so, how much will it increase your blood pressure?
Thanks so much
Open Question: Heart Palpitations, Head Rushes, and Insomnia. OH MY!?
I’m an overweight, 22 year old male. For almost 4 years I’ve been having heart palpitations. When they first started, I was concerned and went to the hospital. They did an EKG and saw a strange heart wave and then decided to do a heart catheterization. They found that I have Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, which is the absolute most benign form of heart disease there is, or so they say. Anyway, they released me and said not to worry about it because it’s not dangerous and if the heart palpitations increased or I ever fainted I would need to come back to the hospital, but other than that, just have yearly EKG’s to make sure everything’s okay. Skip forward 3 years. My heart palpitations suddenly increased dramatically, like from 2 or so a month all the way up to 20 – 30 per day. Also, I started having insomnia, I was having head rushes, I began feeling like I was going to die, and I had terrible headaches in pinpoint locations around my head that would last from 5 minutes up to about an hour. So, I began a barrage of tests. I had a brain MRI to see what was causing the headaches, they found nothing. I had a full blood work-up, they found nothing out of the ordinary. I had another EKG and Echo-cardiogram, and they said that it was the same as it was 3 years ago. Finally a doctor suggested that I have a sleep study done, so I did and they found that I have mild sleep apnea and fixed me up with a CPAP machine that I use every night. My cardiologist also started me on 2.5 mg of Bystolic per day to try and reduce the frequency and strength of the palpitations. That was about 5 months ago and for a couple of months it seemed to be going fine. Now, everything’s gotten worse. I’ve had a CT scan on my brain and they found nothing out of the ordinary. They took X-rays of my heart, did another EKG, did more blood-work and again nothing came back out of the ordinary. But I’m getting light-headed, having 15 or so palpitations per hour, having head-rushes, feelings of looming death, my chest hurts constantly (although I assume that that’s muscle pain seeing as how they tested me to see if I’ve had a heart attack and it came back negative and whenever I press on the pain it hurts worse), and generally just don’t feel like I should at the age of 22. I’m running out of options, I’ve seen Neurologists, Cardiologists, Electrophysiologists, M.D.’s, etc. and they all tell me that they can’t find anything wrong. Well, something is clearly not right, if anyone has any suggestions or shares my symptoms or could tell me anything to help get me back to a state of normalcy that would be most appreciated.
Okay, I’m only on 2.5 mg of Bystolic per day, sometimes I take a Magnesium Chloride pill if I’m having extreme palpitations because it seems to help but it may just be a placebo effect. There have been no signs of magnesium deficiency in any of my blood tests. I don’t drink caffeine, I drink alcohol rarely, i.e. one drink per month…maybe. I use no other narcotics whatsoever. On some rare occasions I may take an antihistamine or decongestant to relieve minor allergies or cold symptoms and I take OTC store brand pain relievers with acetaminophen, but normally only 500 mg at a time and even that is on occasion. The anxiety is a maybe, but I don’t feel anxious really ever. I have a pretty care-free attitude about pretty much everything. So, I don’t know… I’d rather not take any medications that aren’t necessary and normally psychologists tend to throw medication at everything.
