Why would a young person have high blood pressure?

There are several reasons why a young person could have high blood pressure. Obesity, indicated by a BMI over 25 or waist-to-hip ratio > 0.85 may contribute to high blood pressure. Alcohol use and tobacco smoking can also raise high blood pressure risk. Certain medications and illicit drugs (e.g., cocaine) can spike blood pressure. Excessive salt intake can also be linked to elevated blood pressure.

What illness can cause high blood pressure?

Various factors such as adrenal gland disorders, heart conditions from birth, and kidney disease can lead to high blood pressure. Other contributors include obstructive sleep apnea and thyroid disease.

Can a person recover from heart failure?

Heart failure has no cure. The goal of treatment is to alleviate symptoms and hinder additional harm. The specific course of action is determined by the heart failure stage and type, underlying conditions.

Diovan HCT/Co-Diovan/Vector Plus/Diovan (generic name: valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide) treats congestive heart failure and high blood pressure. Diovan 40 mg is prescribed to reduce hospitalizations related to heart failure for people who cannot tolerate angiotensin II converting enzymes (ACE) inhibitors, and it is also used after a heart attack to improve survival rates. Diovan 80 mg and Diovan 160 mg are intended for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), and for the treatment of heart failure in people who cannot tolerate angiotensin II converting enzymes (ACE) inhibitors. Diovan belongs to a class of medicines called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). These medicines help control blood pressure by blocking the effects of the substances in the body that raise it. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can strain the heart and arteries, leading to serious health issues like stroke, heart failure, or kidney problems if left untreated. Read more about treating heart disease here. Lowering blood pressure to normal levels is crucial in reducing the risk of these complications. Diovan 80 mg and Diovan 160 mg are specifically designed to manage hypertension for those who cannot take ACE inhibitors.

Dosage

A doctor will determine the correct dose of Diovan for each patient. Diovan can be taken with or without food and should be swallowed with a glass of water at the same time each day. If one accidentally takes a high dosage and experiences severe dizziness or fainting, contact a doctor immediately and lie down. Even if health improves, discontinuing the medication without consulting the doctor could worsen the condition. Therefore, individuals should discuss the implications of stopping the treatment with their healthcare provider before making any changes.

Storage

Stored below77°F or 25°C, the product should be kept in its original packaging to shield it from moisture. Read our tips on handling medicine safely.

FAQ

What can be mistaken for heart failure?

Conditions that can mimic heart failure include pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, pulmonary embolism, and acute kidney injury.

Is coffee good for high blood pressure?

Caffeine can temporarily increase blood pressure, especially in those who are not used to consuming it regularly. However, individuals who regularly consume caffeine tend to develop a tolerance to its effects. This tolerance means that caffeine does not have a lasting impact on blood pressure and is not associated with a higher risk of hypertension.

Should I lie down during the day if my blood pressure is high?

When someone lies down, their heart doesn’t need to work as hard to pump blood because it’s level with the body. According to the American College of Cardiology, systolic blood pressure can decrease by approximately 3 mm Hg per hour of napping.

If after taking Diovan HCT, a sudden allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) occurs, with symptoms like swelling of the face, tongue, or throat making it difficult to breathe or swallow, or there is wheezing, hives, rash, blistering, or peeling of the skin, call a doctor or 911 right away, or go to an emergency room immediately.

Most people who use Diovan HCT do not experience any adverse side effects. Doctors prescribe this medication because they assess the benefits of such treatment outweigh any likely unwanted effects.

Some of the side effects that have been reported include headache, dizziness, fatigue, stomach pain, decreased blood pressure, diarrhea, joint pain, back pain, high potassium level, and cough.

Not all side effects are listed here. If these or other unlisted symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Heart Failure: Common symptoms include breathlessness, especially after activity or at rest, fatigue, swollen ankles and legs due to fluid build-up, lightheadedness, and fainting. An echocardiogram or blood test can aid in the diagnosis of heart failure.

High blood pressure: High blood pressure is typically symptomless. However, if blood pressure readings are 130/80 mm Hg or higher, based on multiple readings, hypertension is diagnosed.
