Re: Do NSAIDS (ibuprofen) make Blood Pressure higher when using Aldosterone blockers

They will in some folks. Only way to know in you is to test it.

They increase Na retention by kidney so low sodium diet would help

guard against this is logical but has not been tested.

I know for sure that taking Advil will increase my BP to dangerous levels.

It took me a long time to discover this and my doctor kept saying that there

was no relations. How I came about knowing this was that when occasionally I

came down with a headache, I'd take two advils. Of course within hours my

headache would be better but then I'd be feeling dizzy and funny, take my BP

and it would be around 180-200/90-100 and the high bp was of course causing

me a headache of course, so what did I do to get rid of the headache? take

more advil of course to the point that I finally discovered the relation.

Its been at least 5 years and I have not taken any kind of NSAIDS and I feel

so much better and following a fairly strict diet, I have not had too many

headaches.
