halmad85 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I mentioned before about my trip to the ER last week...higher BP than usual, massive heart palps and pressure. Well, ever since then, I've still been running a higher BP. My usual is 100 systolic or lower. I've never run over 130 before, and that was high. Now, all of a sudden, my BP is like 140/80 to 160/100. What could be causing this change? My EKG and heart monitor were fine. I just don't understand what it could be. The only thing I've done differently is I started Mobic last week for my joint pain. Any ideas? Has anyone else experienced this from POTS alone?

mom4cem Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 What a change from low to high. I quickly googled mobic and none of the sites I visited said high b/p as a side effect but as you will note on this link it can cause one to retain fluid which in turn I suppose could cause an increase in b/p.http://www.fda.gov/cder/consumerinfo/druginfo/mobic.htmHave you spoken to your dr. on this.

maggee Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 hi Jen,think mobic is a Nsaid......like motrin.....all i know...is motrin raises BP SOME...BUT more if your on a beta blocker med.couldn't see your meds..but motrin seems to be raising my BP more...cuz i'm on beta blocker inderal.thought perhaps, this may be your circumstance also...?anyways ((((hugs)))), Jen....and good luck figuring out 'just one more of our mysteries'.......lol!Maggee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
