Has anyone had their blood pressure go up due to using Preservision ?

Posted by suzannemdevine @suzannemdevine, Sep 18, 2024

I have been taking Preservision AReds for six days now. The past two days I have had a headache and my blood pressure is up 140/90. The Preservision is the only change in my daily routine. I am also experiencing an upset stomach.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Eye Conditions Support Group.

I have been getting shots for 10 years. I don't drive because of a daily persistent headache/dizziness that docs cannot figure out. And now adding these eye issues into the mix is debilitating. My mother and grandmother became blind in one eye. There were not the meds then that there are now. Just keep an eye on it, eat well and take the vitamins.

Thank you for the encouragement. So you're still reading and recognizing faces, you're just not driving because of the headaches? Hopefully, they will soon figure out why you are getting them.
Okay, you have been getting injections for wet AMD for 10 years? When were you actually diagnosed with the drusen which is a Hallmark symbol of future AMD?
I take AREDS2, and other antioxidants and I eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies and seafood like salmon and tuna etc.
I know today there is so much more hope than even a decade ago. A lot less people actually lose their central vision. There's a lot more coming on the horizon.
I'm trying to stay optimistic and I pray every day.
I just don't know why I have drusen so young.

Yes, I read, watch TV and take care of myself. I don't drive except to the mailbox because of the headaches and dizziness. This is 5 yrs/7 mos of this headache every single day/all day. Macular degeneration is not always central vision. My central vision is okay and my friend's is okay. We all have different symptoms. It's important that your optical nerves stay healthy and your cornea does not get hard. A good neuro eye doc will check this. Does anyone in your family have eye issues? It's usually passed down through the mother. Don't worry.......go about your life and be happy.
