Youshouldtake ALLoftheseconcerns toyourdoctor . Ifyouaregoing todifferent doctors;youshouldletALLofthemknow yourconcerns!
Hmmm,nota fun combination- that’s forsure!
Well,first I wouldliketosuggest a few things based upon whatyourquestiondisclosed. I understand thatyouareonAdvair,andthatyouarealsodiagnosed withhigh blood pressure andthatyouaregoing tosee anallergist.
Myfirst point ofinterest,istopoint out thattherearesomecases wherepeople areactually diagnosed withhaving asthmatic allergies. Thatis,thattheydonotseem tosuffer thesymptoms ofasthma until theyareexposed tothenatural element orfood product thattheyareallergic to. Thisissomething thatcanbediscussed withyourallergist atthetime oftesting. Itisimportantthatyouasktheallergist toforward his/herresults toyourcurrent primary care physician aswell. Thisway yourprimary doctor isabletosee ifyouareactually suffering fromasthmatic allergies,oranactual definitive diagnosis ofasthma,independant oftheallergies. Itisequally asimportantthatyourallergist hasfull access toyourcurrent records andlists ofallofyourprescriptions fromyourprimary doctor. Thisinsures thateveryone isonthesame page,andthatyouaregetting thebest treatment possible foryourspecific ailments. Italsoallows thedoctor’s tomakeanyprescription changes thatmaybenecessary along theway.
Thesecond point I wouldliketoaddress isthefact thatyousaidtheAdvair doesnotseem tobeeleviating yourcurrent asthmatic symptoms,andthatitseems tobehindering yourHPB aswell. I’d liketopoint out thatanasthma attack will,naturally affect yourcardio vascular andrespitory systems. This,ofcourse wouldnaturally cause anincrease inyourblood pressure even ifyoudidnothavea HBP condition. However,becauseyouaremore atrisk thanordinary asthma sufferers…itisvery importantthatyoumonitor yourblood pressure periodically throughout theday,taking readings before andafterandasthma attack aswell. Theseresults shouldbenoted foranyabnormally ordangerously high episodes,andreported toyourprimary care physician immediately.
Youmayalsowant toconsult yourprimary doctor foranadditional “booster”toyourAdvair (alsoaninhaler) called Albuterol Sulfate.
Ofcourse,whether ornotyouareprescribed theadditional inhaler wouldbeatyourdoctor’s discresion andinaccordance withyourmedical history.
Myfinal point toaddress wouldbetofind out whether ornotyouaretaking anyprescription foryourhigh blood pressure. Ifyouarenotcurrently being treated forthatwithmeds,youcanbring yourconcerns toyourprimary doctor- whowouldbest beabletoadvise youonthetreatment. Ifyouarecurrently being prescribed something foryourHBP along withtheAdvair- itisvery likelythatyourdoctor isaware oftheuses ofboth medications inunicen. However,youcanalways double check foranypossible interactions,side affects etc through yourlocal pharmacist justtobesure.
Foradditional information ontheprecautions andside affects ofAdvair,I wouldvisit thesite
online at. Youmayalsolook intoallergy symptoms (forexample,asthma attacks andincreased blood pressure) onyourinternet search engines aswell.
Although itisadvised tohaveeach treating doctor ‘copy’theotheronyourcurrent diagnosis,treatment andprescription plans…please,remember toaskforandsign therelease form (sothattheinformation canbeshared) and…keep inmind thatweallhavetobevery outspoken aboutourconditions. Weareallourownmedical advocates!!!!!
***VERY IMPORTANT: Bewary ofanymedical professional thatgives youa NEWdiagnosis online without having anyknowledge ofyourcomplete medical history,orseeing youinperson toprovide theappropriate tests. Desktop diagnosis’isnotonlya badidea- itisunethical andagainst theoath theytook atthestartoftheirpractice. Always review suggestions provided withyourdoctor!!!!****
P.S. Itisvery true…people didnotsuffer fromtheseconditions 100′s ofyears ago! Theydied fromthem. Stick withyourDoctor!
I hope thisinformation helps. Bewell!
It’s called HTN (hypertension),notHBP. Somebronchodilators notnormally associated withHTN aretheophylline,formoterol,levalbuterol,pirbuterol,salmeterol,terbutaline,beclomethasone,budesonide,flunisolide,fluticasone (Advair isa combination ofsalmeterol andfluticasone andisnotassociated withHTN),montelukast,omalizumab andtriamcinolone. Your B/P issues (andyouhaven’t saidexactly whatyouthinktheAdvair isdoing toyourB/P) maypossibly bedue tootherfactors. Intheend,yourallergist willadvise youonthebest med foryouandbesure todiscloseallmedications thathavebeenprescribed foryou.
