Presentation
Whereas mild manifestations of these symptoms can occasionally be present at presentation in patients with intracranial hypotension, severe or continuous nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision are not common with low CSF pressure. [ajnr.org]

- Asymptomatic
[…] drugs are known to have interaction and will need the involvement of your doctor before use together; Clonidine and Blocadren Diuretics and Beta Blockers Clonidine and Indreal Clonidine and Tenormin In terms of symptoms, rebound hypertension can be asymptomatic [hypertension-bloodpressure-center.com]
“We try to dissuade internists and surgeons from sending patients to the ED for high blood pressure that is asymptomatic.” Misuse of resources is another issue, added Dr. [acphospitalist.org]
Second, because most patients who undergo epidural blood patching do not undergo routine subsequent CSF pressure evaluation, asymptomatic rises in CSF pressure in some patients could occur. [ajnr.org]
Although there is not a strong basis in clinical trials, expert opinion also supports the use of beta-blockers in patients with asymptomatic reduction in ventricular function with the goal of improving ventricular function and prevention of the onset [thecardiologyadvisor.com]
- Congestive Heart Failure
Acute heart failure. Don't use labetalol because it has beta-blocking activity that can further exacerbate heart failure, he added. Chronic kidney disease. [acphospitalist.org]
Bisoprolol: Dosing of bisoprolol for patients with congestive heart failure is best guided by the CIBIS II dosing protocol. Initial dosing is at 1.25 mg a day and is maintained for 1 week. [thecardiologyadvisor.com]
Although long-term control of BP in this setting can prevent complications due to stroke, myocardial infarction, or congestive heart failure, there is no evidence that acute reduction of blood pressure results in any improvement in short or long term [renalandurologynews.com]
- Anemia
The onset of action of esmolol is within 60 seconds with duration of action of 10-20 minutes; however since it is metabolized by red blood cell esterase, in anemia its half-life increases. [renalandurologynews.com]
Because it is metabolized by red blood cell esterases, the half-life of the agent may be prolonged in patients with anemia. 17 Nicardipine: This drug is a second-generation dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. [uspharmacist.com]

Etiology
These symptoms mirror features of those patients with raised intracranial pressure caused by other etiologies. 7, 8 Jugular venous outflow is impaired in the recumbent position, 9 which probably accounts for the worsening of symptoms in some patients [ajnr.org]

Hypertension of virtually any etiology (essential or secondary) can enter into the crisis phase. The most common cause for a hypertensive crisis is chronic hypertension with an acute exacerbation resulting from medication noncompliance. [renalandurologynews.com]
