Q. Why does my blood pressure increase significantly especially after eating or drinking water?
Hello doctor,
I am a 21-year-old. My blood pressure increases significantly to 160/90 mmHg whenever I eat or do a little walk, especially after eating or drinking water. I am a little obese. I did my RFT test. My creatinine levels are 0.7 mg/dL, with a GFR of 128 mL/min. My kidney ultrasound is also normal. I have strong palpitations. Is anything wrong with me? Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
What about renal artery color Doppler? The possible causes of secondary hypertension are-
1. White coat hypertension.
2. Masked hypertension.
3. Pheochromocytoma.
5. Renal parenchymal or after diseases.
6. Cardiac problems like coarctation of the aorta or LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy) etc.
I suggest you do a renal Doppler study, 2d echo, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, serum aldosterone level, urine metanephrine estimation, and serum electrolytes test. Consult your physician. He will examine and treat you accordingly.
Thank you.
