What happens when you give someone with low blood pressure high blood pressure medicine?
I would think that to most people that what would happen would be fairly obvious, that it would, or could dangerously lower your blood pressure causing strokes, heart failure or death. As a hypertensive person myself (having high blood pressure) I take very strong timed release medication that to me makes me feel the effects all day long: from tightness in the chest to shortness of breath. All in all if someone with normal, or low blood pressure took my medication it would be extremely dangerous and foolhardy to do so.

Can you control high blood pressure?
Yes, it can be controlled with medication. Some people can also control it with weight loss and moderately increased exercise, although some medication may still be needed. High blood pressure can result in heart and kidney disease as well as stokes. You can't feel high blood pressure and many people do not know they have it until damage is done. In the US you can check your blood pressure routinely (for free) at an automated meter at the drugstore to be sure it is kept well under control. Medication can have reduced affect after long term use, so be sure to check it often and inform your health care professional if you are on medication but your blood pressure is not well controlled.

What takes your blood pressure?
Your blood pressure can be taken with a mercury blood pressure gauge, an aneroid manometer, or an electronic device for measuring the blood pressure, as long as the device has been recently calibrated and validated. With rare exceptions, blood pressure gauges found in supermarkets or pharmacies aren't properly maintained and shouldn't be used.
