I would like to know what is secondary hypertension and what are the symptoms
that can bring it on? I have been taking
extraExtra strength mylanta calci tabs
Extra strength pain relief strenght tylenol for my
headaches and tylenol pm to sleep at night. I was told it was ok to use tylenol
for a long time to help with headaches and sleeplessness. I was hoping I would not
need a fourth med to take and no more surgeries. What other kind of test
would be helpful in solving my hypertension problem? My hypertension is
constantly high. I do monitor it daily and both arms are registering the
same readings. Also, my twin sister is having the same hypertension problems and
she is worried about it too. Thank you for your advice and suggestions.

Dear Maria,
Q:I would like to know what is secondary hypertension and what are the symptoms
that can bring it on?
A: Secondary hypertension is high blood pressure that is due to an identifiable cause. These include renal artery stenosis (blockage), pheochromocytoma (a rare tumor) and other causes (i.e. licorice overdose). The symptoms are the same as primary hypertension (which is high blood pressure with no identifiable cause)
Q: What other kind of test would be helpful in solving my hypertension problem?
A: The majority of hypertension is primary and the only test is what you are doing by checking blood pressures. Treatment can often take quite a bit of adjusting of medications and you will need to work closely with your doctor as well as adopting major lifestyle changes of your own. Good luck.
