In this video, Dr. Tahir discusses a case of a 51-year-old female patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) who is on prednisone 20 mg due to lupus flares. Prednisone, a corticosteroid, can lead to high blood pressure through fluid retention, increased vascular resistance, and altered regulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Dr. Tahir explains how lifestyle changes, prednisone tapering strategies, and medication options can help manage high blood pressure in lupus patients. Learn how diet, exercise, weight management, and medical intervention work together to improve blood pressure control and overall health in SLE.
