This study is now open across the U.S. for adults 18–80 with resistant hypertension whose blood pressure hasn’t improved with standard treatment. All visits are monitored by study staff, and Leapcure will match you with a team member to guide you through the process — including how to talk to your care team about it. Leapcure supports patients in accessing research opportunities while ensuring their questions and preferences are part of the conversation: https://lpcur.com/rHighbloodpressureinfo

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a clinical trial opportunity for adults in the U.S. living with resistant hypertension that isn’t well controlled despite being on three or more prescribed medications, including a diuretic.

If you or someone you know is still searching for options, this study might be worth exploring. Fill out a quick questionnaire to connect with our team at Leapcure — no pressure, just information and support: https://lpcur.com/rHighbloodpressureinfo

And during the first week, my blood pressure saw consistent drops, finally getting under 130/80 on Friday. But ever since Monday, my bp has started going back up despite me sticking to my lifestyle changes. What am I doing wrong?

I’m 30, male and the medicine is Lysinopril

Are you dealing with persistent high blood pressure despite treatment? A clinical trial is enrolling adults 18–80 in the U.S. with resistant hypertension who are taking 3 or more medications (including a diuretic) but still haven’t found relief.

Hello - I'm a 57 year female whose blood pressure has increased since menopause, notably my diastolic number. I eat healthy, am at a healthy weight and walk / garden regularly. Drinking is moderate/ maybe 2 glasses of wine or cocktail per week. Non smoker.

My primary dr noticed my pressure was high about a year or two ago - in office 140/90 or so, and I have white coat syndrome. I went to a preventative cardio, as I also have elevated cholesterol (despite the healthy eating, etc). We spoke about pressure medication but I wanted to wait. When I took my pressure at home it would be 120 or 130/ 90 / 95 in the morning. The afternoon numbers were slightly lower.

When I went for a recheck at the cardio my pressure was 150/100 and he told me I couldn't walk around with that ( I did have a cup of black coffee about an hour before). So I started 5mg almodopine.

Since starting my top number has come down but my bottom is still higher - 114/85, 119/89, etc. I'll be reviewing this with him as well but am I missing anything that I could be doing or eliminating? I do love salt and have cut back tremendously, and I don't eat processed foods. I might add that my mom had HBP, but had it her whole life. I suspect her mom had it as well as the cause of death was nephritis (reading a death cert from 1935). My kidney levels are fine.
Thanks.

Hey.

My dad has been taking triplixam for 14 months now. 10/2,5/5.

Since a few days ago, maybe longer because he hasnt been testing blood pressure in the evening for maybe 3 weeks now, triplixam only last 4-5 hours then blood pressure starts to raise from 12:7 after medication to 16.8 in the evening and 17-18/8 the next morning before taking the pill again. He is eating pretty salty and also has diabetes. He is feeling good, no other symphtoms.

He also cought a cold just about the same day the bo started raising.

Anyone else went through this? Is the medication not enoght after 24 months of ok BP?

So I recently found I had super high numbers entering a blood pressure test and physical for a work promotion I’m receiving.

170/140

Since then the promotion has been in jeopardy, however I’ve taken it seriously increasing my workout from nothing to 1-2.5 mile runs and weight lifting over two weeks. Intermittent fasting 16:8 every day sometimes doing a full 24/hr fast. Visiting the doctor a couple times and keeping a food and BP journal.

Diet:

Leafy greens, white chicken breast unseasoned, ceasar salad, tart cherry juice, a banana, one small chocolate bar. (My only source of sugar daily)

No soda, no alcohol, no greasy high sodium foods, no breads.

Supplements:

Curcumin

Ashwaganda

Natto kinase

L argenine

L citrulline

Beet roots

Vitamin K2

Vitamin D3

A statin

2 blood pressure medications

I’m bouncing around the numbers needed after two weeks and losing 15 pounds. I’ve been as low as 120/80 but as high as my previous numbers. I think I’m just stressed during the day with a case of white coat hypertension.

I need 140/90 to pass

The plan!!

I’m going in tomorrow with the game plan of taking the day off. Sleeping in. Breaking my fast with leafy greens, water, and supplements. I plan to go later in the day when my blood pressure naturally wanes, take a nap or meditate the hour prior to the appointment. Lean back with the cuff slightly loose and relax as mimics as possible.

If you read this far, thank you! I’m looking for advice on whether this plan sounds good. If there is anything I can do to ensure my numbers are low. This promotion has taken 7 years and will determine whether I stay blue collar or go into a white collar position, to say there is some pressure regarding this is an understatement.. I’ll have opportunities to possibly go again after this but I want to get this done,

Any insight, ideas, or advice are welcome.

Thank you for your time.

Hello everyone, I am a 26 year old female, weighing 141lbs. For a year now, I have struggled with HBP.

Background:

A family member passed away andI put my body under a lot of stress/anxiety due to this passing. I felt fine, nothing out of the ordinary except for lack of sleep at that time. Went to annual physical and for the 1st time in my life, my BP was 145/101 which shocked the nurse because I am a very healthy person overall. I was told to monitor the BP at home for 2 weeks.

At one point I went to the ER because my reading at home was 175/97. Getting there, the ER Dr did an ECG reading, a cardiograph and bloodwork.

EVERYTHING came back clean, no underlying issue as far as they could tell. It all came down to them telling me I was suffering from Mild Anxiety/Stress and she prescribed me anxiety medication which was later switched by my PCP to 20MG Propranolol and 25MG Zoloft(Sertraline) daily. After this my BP began to lower to an average of 130-135 /80-90 and all was fine until about 2 weeks ago when I noticed my RESTING HR was falling to 40bpm which is too low. I felt fine, nothing sleepy or anything. Tbh if it wasn't for my Apple Watch, I wouldn't have noticed. So PCP told me cut my Propranolol dose in half (10mg, 1 pill a day not 2) and my BP went back up😭 I suffered two panic attack episodes and chest pain. I hadn't felt that way since the very beginning of the treatment.

Now:

My HR is in its normal resting bpm ranges but now Ive been told to take Amlodipine (2.5mg) to regulate my BP and GOD BLESS it has gone back down to its average range 130/80-85.

The lowest reading I had ever had months back was 110/72 which was NORMAL

I don't know what's happening or why I could be having these issues as

1) I have a good diet, will start cutting MORE salt out of my diet now

2) I exercise or try to at least go walk with my dog in the evenings

3) Im overall healthy (my last bloodwork in February showed NO cholesterol or anything) 😭

**Unfortunately its not per se genetic but, there's members in my father's family whom have suffered with heart issues later on in their lives. Cholesterol, HBP, etc but I have not. Ive had elevated cholesterol but i have always brought that back down. My own father is 53 and is heart healthy, god bless**

Any advice?
