Been put on ccb's for hypertension. Been on for 3 weeks. Dizziness all day fatigue. Can't lift weights at the gym or go on my 4 km walks. Palpitation and intense craving for milk and chocolate and I have not drunk milk for years and never eat chocolate. Weights increasing. What's worse inactivity binging on chocolate happily exercising with hypertension and loosing weight? Go figure. Goodbye CCB's

Can we use sublingual nifedipine in hypertensive urgency? Whats the ideal target of fall in BP over hoirs or days in case of hypertensive urgency for example my father had a BO 170/100 usually it is around 140/130 systolic amd 80-70 diastolic but he was not here at home and went out of station for three days with raised BOnto be discivered in my hands today and I gave him his usual NODO H tablet but even after three hours the BP went up high to 180 then after that I gave him Telmisartan though he has asthma very very mild category asthma like and has cold so I had to chise thay drug over CCB amlodipine because he gets spasms acter taking CCB so I didnt give him yhat I gave him Telmisartan 1/2 Tablet 20 mg with hydrochlorothiazide combination and after two to three hours I checked his BP it went beyond 180 it was 184/100 but asymptomatic so I kept all emergency medicines ready to treat essential hypertension, I bought sublingual nitrates and sublingual nifedipine, but fortunately agyer having his alpha blocker prastaguard tablet his BP went down to 130/80 in an hour from 184/100 in an hour of having Prostaguard tablet which is an aloha blocker so my question is whats the ideal rate of reduction if BP in hypertensive urgencies like in a situation I told you and mentioned just here and should we avoid sublingual nitrates and nifedioine even in hypertensive urgencies? 2. Whats the first line of management for a. An essential hypertensive urgency and b. emergency patients Can we use frusemide I M injection in case if hypertensive urgency like I mentioned now? Can we use I M hydralazine or I V frusemide in case the hypertensive urhency with no symptoms but even with medicines not getting cintrolled iver fjve to six hours and BP continually rising in such cases what are the oral and IM)SC or I V drugs to manage essential hypertensive urgency ? And whats the first line of drug for esssential hypertensive emergency, is it a Frisemide can we use frusemide in such situation? Or its used only in cases of Pulmonary oedema or CCF or both? Can we use I V or IM frusemide in case of essential hypertensive urgency and emergency wihout pulminary oedema Or CCF ? Kindly reply ! Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge coming from standard books and your own work experience !
Does the blood aspiration at 5 hr mark carry risk of ED either due to injury to arteries or endothelial tissue? Alternatively the fact that soft muscle was stretched for 5 hours cause any risk of ED?
