I am being evaluated for bariatric surgery and recently discovered high blood pressure (150/110) at my first surgeon appointment. My home blood pressure readings over several days have shown systolic readings between 143-160 and diastolic readings between 93-103. I have been advised to cut salt from my diet and see my primary care physician (PCP) soon.

My ear has been blocked for the past few days, it is not painful but annoying! I got it after suffering from a throat infection. My throat is fine now but my right ear is still blocked.

As far as I understand, Alprazolam is metabolized by the CYP450 family of enzymes, most specifically 3A4. What drugs/foods inhibit the CYP450 enzymes? And if the inhibitor was taken before, would that cause increased max plasma concentration? How long does it take for these enzymes to be "re-made"?
