High blood pressure symptoms - High blood pressure treatment
I have been suffering with shoulder pain recently and went to an orthopedic doctor who gave me a joint injection with steroid. This worked but since then I’ve been getting high readings on my home blood pressure monitor.

Can steroid joint injections cause me to develop higher blood pressure?

Do you need to avoid being out in the sun much when you have high blood pressure ?

I’ve been on what I used to call “water tablets” for my blood pressure for years now.
It’s a tablet called bendrofluazide and I’ve used it for about fifteen years. It seems to do the trick - but recently I’ve been concerned about getting dull headaches most days. Could this be due to my blood pressure?

Welcome to The Pressure Point.
My name is Doctor Gordon Cameron and I'm a doctor based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I specialize in blood pressure treatment for two reasons:
Firstly - I see many thousands of people with the condition each year and I understand the problems that high blood pressure and its treatment can cause.
Secondly, I suffer from raised BP myself and take treatment every day so I really do understand the problems from both sides of the equation. I've taken pretty much every medication on the market at one time or other, and have used or tried most of the natural remedies and cures.
