I've never had a blood pressure issue and since taking MiraLAX for a week for constipation my lood pressure was 166/104! Could it be the MiraLAX?

Re: Linda (# 48) 
My BP has been high 187/101 and usually runs 115/65. Been to heat Dr and primary care provider. Each time they changed my BP pill frequency with no positive results. Stopped Miralax and bingo, BP went down after a week!

After being off of the miralax for some time now, how has your blood pressure been affected?

I have been off bp medicine for 6 months and it has been controlled. Still having bowel problems and my doctor wants me to take a full dose morning and night; and a double dose if I'm really constipated, so I have started it again. Thought my higher bp was just because of constipation. I took a double dose last night and woke up feeling horrid. My bp was 200/123 and thought I would die. Took bp medicine and it finally went down. Hate taking miralax anyway because of bloating etc. I really feel miralax is the cause looking back to when I started taking it again. Prune juice for me. I am 67 yrs. Old.

The exact same thing happened to me. Miralax prep before my colonoscopy, no previous BP issues, the anesthesiologist told me that during the procedure it went up over 200 3 different times. Remaining dangerously high for the next 2 days I called and urgently requested a script to bring it down when 190/100. I will see a Cardiologist next week and hope that this is a temp. side effect.

Re: Medical Mess (# 5)
I noticed my BP went up and I'm looking for answers. It used to run 110/70 and now runs in the 140s/80s. I thought it was wellbutrin because it correlates time wise but then I thought about the only other med I take and was curious about miralax.

My BP got high for a few days and I ended up in the ER. I haven't kept exact records, but here we go again. I took it last night and today. My BP has crept up all day and I can feel when it gets high. I am going to discontinue it to see if it goes down. It was great seeing these posts.

Re: John (# 42)
Did your BP go back down? If so, how long did it take? Mine is still messed up!

Re: Tony (# 49)
They like to use this prep because it’s Gentle, but I can’t do it either. The volume of it makes me vomit it all up and then it doesn’t work. When I can try again they told me to ask for a specific prep they will note in my file (I don’t remember the name) I guess it’s the equivalent of a shot or two but it tastes really gross. I don’t really care how it tastes if it’s only two swallows, vomiting up all that MiraLAX and Gatorade tasted pretty gross and I didn’t even get to have the procedure so . . .
