Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if any of you have high blood pressure due to the RSD???

I have noticed for about 2 mos, that when i first went to see my PCP for buzzing in my ear, that my BP was high... now my PCP is my employer too, well used to be. And he siad the buzzing in my ear was due to allergies acting up, which when he gave me the meds stopped the buzzing. but when i saw my ortho last week my bp was up again or still?? and i have been having on and off buzzing in my ear but i thought bc of the weather change that it was the allergies again. And then when i had my procedure done on monday it was up all through the procedure and even after it. I have never been nervous enough to make my Bp high.. i mean i work in the hosp and see docs evrvy day so its not beig nervous?? Just dont know if i should call my PM doc or PCP or jsut keep an eye on it??

Im having all the classic signs of it, and jsut dont want more pills to take...

I am being treated for high blood pressure now for the first time in my life. The doctors believe it is being caused by medication or combination of medications. Two days ago my BP was 197/107...panic time but thankfully today was 138/75....changed some meds and added some to handle the blood pressure....so I guess the answer is YES I am haveing trouble with the blood pressure due to SRDS...

Hi there,

YUP! I too, for the very first time in my life was told "your blood pressures very high!" after being diagnosed with this disease. Gosh, I've had to learn so much more then a 37yr old ever wanted too about her body. But the doctor told me that pain can make your blood pressure rise, and it was a really high pain day for me, like a 23 on a scale of 1-10 and even taking my blood pressure felt like they were going to break my arm off and made me start weeping (I felt SO stupid!). It goes up and down for me now, it hasnt stayed consistantly high, but they do keep an eye on it now.

I also have that constant annoying ringing in the ear that is RSD related as well! Dr. told me that it will never go away because its caused from nerve damage. Is that what you heard too??? Please, please let me know if you hear differently!!

You're not alone unfortunatly/fortunatly.

Hi Bryn,
I have read they can go hand in hand, sorry Bryn.
I hope it gets better with out the meds. I know what you mean it like we don't need to add another pill to take. Where have you been? Missed you, God bless, Lori
