Can your blood pressure and cholesterol
levels be controlled with diet and
exercise?

a Little Info For You Posted: 01-13-06 16:52pm
Being a pharmacist, I know there is at
least one blood pressure medication that
can be taken during pregnancy, it is
called methyldopa. Seeing as I do not
know anything at all about your disease
history, drug history, allergy history or
anything about you for that matter....I
would ask your ob/gyn about his/her
feelings on the use of methyldopa in
pregnancy and you could then take that
information to your cardiologist.
As far as cholesterol meds go, no there
aren't any that I would think you could
take. Metamucil (the fiber supplement)
has been shown to decrease total
cholesterol by up to 10%, so that could be
something you could discuss with your
cardiologist as well.
Again, I am not trying to assume I know
anything about you...I'm just giving some
general information that you can then take
to your doctors.
