Hi there my name is A. and I have a question , my husband is 23 yes old and for the past week he has had really high blood pressure the lowest was 130/100 and the highest being 160/110 150/100 so it's been fluctuating and right now we are vacationing in Amman Jordan and we've been to the doctors twice and the first time they told him to go home and relax But when went home nothing changed and he even vomited a couple times and his situation did not change so we went the next day to the same dr they took his blood pressure again and this time it was160/110 and we insisted for the dr to give my husband something to lower his blood pressure so he did and it's called lasix 20 mg injection and the dr told him to get a kidney analysis we are in a dilemma we don't know what to do . Can you please suggest something to us so we can related it to the dr please . Because my knowledge is that a young guy not dealing with anything should not be having high blood pressure at his age and he does not have a history of high blood pressure in his entire family and his face turns really red and he gets pain in the back of his head his ears turn really red we need help asap so please help me . Please & Thank you from A.

What can I do next?

I have a kidney disease that is called IGA nephropathy. It causes me to have high blood pressure. One of the meds that i take is a dieuretic. That is what the lasix is. It is too help flush out the fluids (salt) which should lower the BP. This is how is understand it anyway :)

My advice is to see a nephrologist (kidney dr). I wasted my time with urologists for many years. They could never figure out what was wrong with me. I would have him watch his salt intake in the meantime. Does he ever have dark urine? (coca cola colored)

I hope you figure this out soon. High blood pressure is not fun. I get the red ears and funny headaches too. I hope i helped a little :( Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

I think he needs emergency care if he is experiencing pain in his neck and head. If the doctors there are not able to diagnose and treat him, you need to leave Jordan immediately and go somewhere with adequate medical care. Prolonged high blood pressure can lead to or be an indicator of stroke, aneurysm, heart attack, etc. Please get him some qualified medical help immediately!

Hello, Is it possible for him to get an MRI? It sounds like he is having some real issues here and I wouldn't wait around for them to decide whether they want to check this or not.
Good luck.

You need to go to another doctor. Is he on any type of blood pressure medicine? I don't see how they let him leave without giving him a precription for medication. Go to the emergency room and get him some help asap.
