I have high blood pressure and noticed some swelling in my face today. What could be the cause?

Asked by Female, 45 · 2 months ago

Facial swelling with high BP may be due to fluid retention, kidney issues, or a reaction to medications. Monitor your BP closely and seek urgent evaluation if swelling worsens or you develop breathlessness.

I'm sorry to hear about the swelling in your face. Facial swelling can sometimes be related to high blood pressure or the medications used to manage it. For example, certain medications like the combination of valsartan and sacubitril (found in Arnicor 50 Tablet) used for heart failure and blood pressure control can occasionally cause side effects such as swelling or angioedema (rapid swelling beneath the skin).

Possible causes of facial swelling in your context include:

  • Medication side effects, including allergic reactions or angioedema.
  • Fluid retention related to heart or kidney function.
  • Other underlying conditions that may need evaluation.

What you should do:

  • Seek prompt medical attention from a cardiologist or your prescribing doctor to evaluate the swelling.
  • If you experience difficulty breathing, swallowing, or severe swelling, seek emergency care immediately.

It is important not to stop or change your medication without consulting your doctor, as this could worsen your condition. Please contact your cardiologist or visit the emergency department if symptoms worsen or you have concerns.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you have high blood pressure and have noticed some swelling in your face today. To understand the situation better, could you please share your age and gender?
