How to immediately lower blood pressure?

If there are feelings coming from to a sudden increase in blood pressure such as dizziness, headaches, or shortness of breath, it's important to seek medical attention immediately as these symptoms could indicate a potentially serious condition. In the mean time, it is advisable to relax, hydrate, lie flat, and practice deep breathing.

Which BP number is more critical, the top or bottom one?

Research conducted over time has indicated the significance of both numbers in heart health monitoring. However, the majority of studies reveal a higher risk of stroke and heart disease associated with elevated systolic (the top one) pressures in contrast to increased diastolic (the bottom one) pressures.

What is the danger zone for blood pressure?

A blood pressure measurement of 180/120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or higher indicates a hypertensive crisis, which is a critical medical situation. This can result in severe health issues like heart attacks, strokes, or other life-threatening conditions. Immediate medical assistance should be sought for individuals with these blood pressure levels.

Vasodip / Lercapress (generic name: lercanidipine) is prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Vasodip belongs to a class of drugs known as dihydropyridine-type calcium channel blockers. These medications work by blocking the entry of calcium into cells in the heart and blood vessel walls. This leads to a reduced amount of calcium available to muscle cells, which allows relaxation of the blood vessels and so reduces blood pressure.

Dosage

Vasodip comes in two strengths – 10mg and 20mg tablets. The doctor will prescribe the appropriate strength and schedule. Depending on the individual patient’s response, the doctor may, at some point, increase the dose to 20mg. It is generally recommended to take Vasodip at least 15 minutes before meals.

Storage

Do not store at a temperature above 77°F / 25°C. For more tips on how to store medication properly, read our article: Conquer the Chaos: Top Tips for Safe and Organized Medicine Storage.
