were waiting for a doctors appointment, but untill then, amateur answers are good too

I couldn’t sleep last night. So I got up and took my blood pressure.
My doctor want’s me to record it at various times. I felt good.
Pressure 187/113. My wife thinks I woory too much about it and that makes it go higher. I understand it might but not that high.
She wants me to stop all my meds. and just pray the rosary. This will cure me. Ain’t going to do it. Now to the question I have a very stressful life, take pills for that too, would stress make it that high ? My dr. said there’s a good chance I will have a stroke pretty soon or if I’m lucky just a heart attack.

there are so many products on the market that claim to treat,and some to heal E.D.I would like to know,if medicines issued by a medical doctor,or herbal treatments that have not been improved by the f.d.a .which is the best,especially if u suffer from medical conditions such as diebates,or high blood pressure.they have totally confused me,and of course the medical profession will not even talk about herbal treatments,they say because of the danger of severe medical interactons,that could be fatal.anyone ever here of Boston Medical Research.they have offices across the u’s,and claim they can cure most cases with one on one treatment.any feedback would help.thanks r.c.

Everyone tells me that there is no cure. That it is a progressive disease and exercise and drugs can only prolong the inevitable. Doctors don’t seem to have any of the latest tricks in their arsenal to combat the disease. Only a few are working on stem cell research. Seems to me to be a cop out that neurologist can’t give a straight answer to a patient. Where are all the $$$ going for medical research and why can’t we see any new developments or cures for the myriad of diseases such as Parkinson’s? We don’t know what causes Parkinson’s disease. We don’t have a cure for it yet? We don’t know how to treat it other than DBS (Deep Brain Surgery) We don’t have any drugs that are totally effective. The drugs we do prescribe cause many other problems and require additional drugs for depression, high blood pressure, incontinence, insomnia…etc. How about a cure already? What about prevention? How about providing something for all the dollars we spend on this dreadful disease?

she is over 70 years. She is diabetic. She takes medication for high blood pressure also so many kinds of medicine are prohibited on her.
Thanks for every body for their suggestions. She made all types of tests and x-rays. Doctors gave her medicines but her doctor prevented her from taking these medicines because it will affect the kidney, stomach and the heart. So I’m trying to give her something else than medical therapy unless it won’t affect her.

… that garlic "inflames the baser passions".

♥Namaste♥

I have great respect for the Hindu faiths… but I feel in my heart that this thing about garlic is an incorrect addition of "man" to the divine truth found in Vedic scripture.

Garlic is a great blessing to my health… it fixes my sore throats (when I take it as a drink with water), prevents cancer (due to high selenium content), prevents & cures high cholesterol & lowers blood pressure (scientifically proven), and clears my swollen (from allergies) nasal passages.

It is also virtually the ONLY spice that my family can tolerate without having physical or mental reactions. Our food would be completely bland without garlic, as we cannot tolerate any other herb. (I find that any other herbs makes my mind feel fuzzy & unclear, & some of them send me completely silly.)

I am wondering if any of you have personal experience to confirm this belief about garlic? Have you ever felt spiritually different from eating/not eating garlic?
Jayasri devi dasi… I don’t see things so black & white to "throw the baby out with the bath water". I have a little experience with how God reveals things to people… & how easy it is for a little bit of opinion to creep in amongst the revelation in a moment of laxness. I guess that’s why each of us needs to know how to test each and every truth for ourselves… and thereby obtain conviction concerning our beliefs.

One fault in doctrine would not negate a whole system. But according to your explanation, it seems not to be a fault, anyway. Thank you for explaining so well.

I am afraid I could never give up garlic. I feel it is a miracle herb from God… could never think of it as otherwise, as I am so grateful for that wonderful herb.

I still am left unconvinced that it would contribute to a less spiritual state. I will have to experiment on this… but garlic has never made it difficult for me to connect with God.

Lollies, old meat, spices, artificial additives have.

My father has tension behind his neck and has had it for about 3 to 4 days straight now, my mother says he might have high blood pressure and my father says he just probably needs to eat. It all started when he had i think…half a hamburger or something to eat the whole day a few days ago, hes been eating pretty fairly i mean he doesn’t starve himself or anything like that but anyways were pretty curious any suggestions to what he might have and possibly any cures?

I haven’t heard of any disease being cured lately. In fact I can’t see what incentive the drug companies have to find a cure. In fact they seem to be inventing diseases to sale more drugs.
The side effects on drugs seem worse then what they are treating. I lost my sense of smell to a high blood pressure drug.
The DEA approves these drugs even though they kill and injure millions of people ever year.
What have the drug companies done to earn the right to be the only ones able to provide solutions to our health care problem?

ive have very high blood pressure, diabetes and liver problems, i have to take alot of tablets so i feel sick all the time . has anybody got a cure for nausea please??

My dad now has a heart condition and he’s taking medicine for it. I know that it’s only a matter of time before I start developing it, too. luckily I found out that the tree in my front yard produces a fruit that can cure high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Only problem, I have to dry the fruit first to extract the medicine properly, and I don’t know how to do that without buying a dehydrator or food drier. Any tips?

I just took our blood pressure on one of the little automatic home monitors, honestly, I have been trying to find it because I was a bit worried about him.

He’s 58, over 6ft, not overweight, he’s usually a bit breathless on exertion (smoker), but he’s started having some headaches lately, and saying it’s too hot when I don’t think it’s hot in the house, so I was wondering about his heart and his blood pressure and I hunted down the monitor.

It measured me at 110/62 (I’m 40 and female) but it measured him at 116/107 – that diastolic is way too high isn’t it? I know he’s older and older people do have higher diastolic pressure, but I didn’t think he was really old enough for it to be that high.

At 58 (drinker/smoker) it this real bad at his age or just a bit high and something we could cure with lifestyle changes?

Thank you.

just in the last couple years have I been taking meds for it. The cure is worse than the illness. The medicines they have been giving me didnt bring it down much, so they loaded me up with 4x the original dose. Almost killed me, joint pain like you would not believe, Its been over a week now since I quit taking it and my wrists are still aching like crazy. So am I better off not taking the meds or should I look for some other way to lower my blood pressure?
when I stopped takng it, the doc prescribed another med, I took it the first day, could hardly get out of my chair. Havent taken another. I got to think that the cure is way worse that the sickness(If that is what it is). I would rather just die than suffer those side effects.

I saw part of an infomercial with Trudeau. He claims that he knows natural remedies for many illnesses, from depression to cancer, which he has apparently listed in one of his books. But can this man be trusted?

I have high blood pressure, for example, among other things. I went to look at the natural remedy in one of his books, and it said things such as the following:

1. Raw extra virgin coconut oil
2. Flax and flax seed oil
3. Vitamin E
4. Natural sunlight

And so forth.

Is this a bunch of baloney, or is it accurate? How can I know that this man can be trusted?

Has anyone read his books, or does anyone have hardcore, factual information about his claims?

I’ve heard of apple cider vinegar but I’m not sure about it. My pastor told me that if I put one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water and drink it everyday. It will burn excess fat away and it’s also good for lowering high blood pressure. But I don’t like the taste of vinegar, is there another natural quick way to burn excess abdominal fat. Please help me.

A friend of mine was told he has Moderate to High levels of Protein in his urine. He went in to the doctor specifically because of the symptom of "Foamy Urine".

He is in generally good health.

°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º° ø¤º°`°º¤ø °º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º° ø¤º°`°º¤ø
✖ He is overweight but not obese.

✖ He has high blood-pressure that is 95% under control.
His doctor gave him a short term prescription for an additional blood pressure medication because it was high when he went in a few days ago and then told him that he would see him in a month to check his symptoms again and do some more blood work.

✖ He has no history of unprotected sex with unknown partners.
He has only had 1 sexual partner in the last few years and that was my aunt that contracted Hepatitis A or B from a blood transfusion back in the late 1990’s.

✖ He has never done any drugs… I don’t think he has even tried Marijuana.

✖ He doesn’t drink alcohol, well, he has about 2 beers or glasses of wine a year.

✖ He has anxiety and depression that he refuses to get treated.

✖ He eats out a lot and knows he eats too much meat.

✖ The doctor ruled out diabetes.
°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º° ø¤º°`°º¤ø °º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º° ø¤º°`°º¤ø

My friend is FREAKING OUT thinking that he has, like, renal failure and I’m trying to get some hard data on Proteinuria.

From what I’ve read, the causes can be anything from just eating too much meat combined with the heat wave all the way to ‘You have AIDS’.

He has been under a lot of stress in general due to his high pressure job and family concerns like paying for college for his two girls, alimony, house payments, the IRS, etc. He has rather severe depression and anxiety but refuses to get that treated because… Well… Because he is male and therefore kinda’ retarded.

The heat has been HORRIBLE for the last week or two and that has hit him hard.

His doctor is a really good doctor (My father goes to him as well) and I keep telling him that if his doctor thought he was about to die from renal failure or a kidney tumor etc. he wouldn’t have been sent home with 30 days worth of extra pills and an appointment for a month from now.

I know I’m going on but I want you to know everything because my friend is REALLY worried and that caused him to not sleep last night and have anxiety today…

ANY advice for him would be greatly appreciated.

When I went to a ‘doc in a box’ at a grocery store due to a persistent cough, my blood pressure they said was very high, and they wanted me to go in for a check-up with a regular doctor.

But, I can’t convince myself to go, despite some family history of high blood pressure. Basically, I know what the doctor will say already – change your diet, lose weight, reduce stress, all of which I already know and have always failed to fix. And, he will want to sell me expensive medicine. So, I can’t get myself to go, why bother when you know the answer, but can’t live up to the cure, emotionally or financially? Maybe I die earlier than I need to, but that doesn’t bother me, I look at how old people live and don’t see anything I envy. What am I missing here?

Someone once told me that anxiety-induced high blood pressure (BP), such as that which is commonly associated with White Coat Hypertension, cannot be lowered with BP medicine. Does anyone know if this is true? Is the mechanism by which high BP is induced by anxiety that strong to indicate BP medicine cannot resolve/lower it? And if that’s the case, then can one make the argument that one needs anti-anxiety medicine rather than high BP medicine to cure an anxiety-induced high BP issue?

Has anyone with high anxiety-induced high BP ever been treated with BP medicine alone?

Thanks for any responses.

What natural/traditional remedies do you know and use that work?
me- ginger for colds
basil and garlic for high blood pressure
dock leaves for skin irritations
cloves for mouth ulcers and toothache
rooibos and buchu for flu.
Any others….?
What is Congee?

I’ve had high blood pressure since I was 13 …No reason why, just labeled it as hypertension.. Well about 3 months ago I started going to the chiropractor for dizziness (heaven sent.. almost completely cured the dizziness) …. I decided to check my blood pressure & yesterday it was 88/69 … I was very surprised because it’s usually 150/80 or 90 later in the day… Could this chiropractic care be reducing my blood pressure?

I’ve been checking it regularly … it’s ranged from 88/69 – 130/83. 130/85 was right before I went to bed right before I usually take my medicine. So when I got up I checked it again it was 122/87 but yet when i just checked it .. 3 hours later it is 89/77.

Hi, I just lost 80lbs with eating healthy and exercising. I was taking hydrochlorothiazide and lisinopril for high blood pressure and just went off both meds a week ago b/c I wanted to see if I cured myself. Well, my blood pressure is good!

but I’ve gained 7lbs in one week!! Is that normal? Is it just water? And if it is, will it go away eventually?
my BP was 117/71 this morning. yesterday it was 115/82

My blood pressure varied from DIASTOLIC 85 – 120 and SYSTOLIC 125 – 160. These values were noted within a month. My age is 27 yrs, Height 178 cm, Weight 84 kg. Further i got a comprehensive blood and urine tests which showed following abnormalities:

Can anyone guide me weather the problem is serious one. Should i go for Allopathy or Ayurveda for permanent cure. I wish to undergo some natural treatment.

My husband recently visited an allergist and discovered he is very allergic to dust mites and outdoor weeds. He received a sample of Nasacort and used it all up; it didn’t totally cure his symptoms but definitely improved them a bit. When we took his prescription in to Walgreen’s to have it filled, it was nearly after our insurance discount – not in our budget. My husband has high blood pressure and controls it with medication; that being said, can anyone recommend something that may be effective for his allergies that we can purchase over the counter? Thank you for your time.

Just wondering if it is any good and if the stuff in there works? looking for cures on high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, depression, high colesterol? please let me know or post some of the cures for these adn i will be gratefull.

Thank you

Please can you help me by telling me what sort of foods are suitable for diabetes patients as well as gd for lowering blood pressure? Thnx your help could save lives!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxx

Well for the past 2/3months I’ve noticed a change in my eyes, a slight blurriness in both eyes…
I went to my doctor, he did all the exams possible to determine if i had anything bad going on with me, but he told me i was fine..

he just told me that my blood pressure is considered high…

i decided to go to an ophtalmologist and she told me my vision was perfect 20/20…

I asked her "then why am i seeing things like that?"

and she told me… "when ure about to get diabetes ur eye sight may be affected"

ive been tested for diabetes and thank God i dont have it.

COULD THIS ON MY EYES BE RELATED WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE????

IS THERE SOMETHING LIKE A "CURE" FOR THIS???

I’M DAMN WORRIED..

I WILL APPRECIATE ALL THE HONEST ANSWERS, thanks All…***

I’m a pretty heathy person. I’m going to be 19 in 2 days,Average weight,No hypertension that i know of runs through my family.
I have anxiety problems though. Lately my stress level has been really bad. I’m not gonna take up time and write about what has been going on,but i have had it pretty rough lately. Well yesterday a friend of mine came over. He shares with me the same problems with his family over and over. I keep giving him advice and he doesn’t listen,so i told him i’m sick of hearing his stuff when he won’t doing anything about it and how it has been stressing me out. Previously i had drank some tea called Yerba Mate. It’s like green tea but a little different. It has alot of caffeine in it,at the time i didn’t know this would mess with my stress.
I felt really sick all of the sudden,i thought i was gonna barf. At this time i was still talking to my friend. I got up to go to the kitchen,i lend in the sink and i felt so dizzy i couldn’t even Stand up right,I couldn’t see,everything seemed super blurry and my hearing sounded all fuzzy when my mom was trying to ask if i’m okay. I couldn’t talk,i fainted on the floor. I ended u regaining consciousness and my mom called the ambulance,i couldn’t breathe right and i could feel my heart beating really fast,my hands and feet started to curl up and my wholebody went numb. They took me to the ER and said my blood pressure was 165 over 104
Which in turn was high blood pressure. The doc said it sounded like i was having a panic attack,but it just came in the middle of no where! I know i have been stressed,but i felt fine. What can i do to prevent stress and panic attacks?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
Forgot to add,i don’t rly like taking meds,is there any herbal things you know of i can take or some remedies you know of at all? Let me know.
Thanks

well i have pcos i have the acne and hair on my chin my period is not to irregular just comes a few days late or early every month, not to bad. But the doctor wants to give me birth control pills now i have taken those before and they worked well, but now that my insurance will only let me get generics and they do not seem to work the same. Now i have heard about the benefits of taking the pill but i have also been hearing that htey can cause heart problems and strokes my father died of heart problems and also had a stroke and high blood pressure, my blood pressure only goes high occasionaly it is not high all the time. So my question is do i take the birth control pills and the meds for high blood pressure even though i hate medicine and prefer naturla cures. Also let me say that my blood pressure has been really good for the past 4 months and i have been off the meds. i got one higher reading and they want me back on meds. ok thanks for any tips and info you can give me, ALSo i have heard that garlic pills is good for blood pressure is that true guess i should also mention i am overweight and it is very hard for me to lose weight

I went to the doctor today, and after a picture perfect pregnancy, the doctor told me my blood pressure had gone up (not an unfamiliar condition to me, this is my second baby and I had preeclampsia with the first so bad the labor had to be induced) but when they did the urine test, they also found Ketones in my urine. For those unfamiliar with ketones, they are proteins which feed on muscle, usually due to starvation or uncontrolled diabetes. I eat VERY well, and I don’t have diabetes, or gestational diabetes. My question is, why are they showing up? Could it have something to do with the blood pressure? Has anyone else had this problem or similar? Have I done something wrong? How can I make them go away? I go back to the Doctor Tuesday, and if I don’t go into labor before then he will probably induce. Will that cure the problem?

When you are sick,say urinary track infection,doctor will prescribe a medicine(antibiotic for full course)after medication ,you are cure.Do not need to take more medicine,
But not when you have low or high pressure ,your doctor will prescribe you with medicine to control/regulate your blood pressure and you need to take it for the rest of your life.basically you are not cure and need to be dependent of the drug.Further down the road,as a result of medication,it lead to more problem,heart problem,then further down,it result in kidneys problem.doctor are not helping people but creating more health problem.When will there be a CURE???.
With medical science so advance ,there is still no cure in sight???

A person I met told emphatically that he used this tea and found a perfect cure for all those three major diseases,people spend billions of dollars every year on other pills. Before it is band by a group I want to import it and try it. Does any one has any experience with this tea

I heard that high blood pressure can be controlled, but it could never be cured. I have high blood pressure, so does this mean that I’m always gonna live with possible health problems?? Oh, and I heard that high blood pressure can cause a stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure. If you have high blood pressure, is it 100% for sure that you’ll end up having health problems?? Or does high blood pressure only put you at risk for health problems??

i am 66 yrs old male,i am having 180/90 measurement.my weight is 62 kgs.i am pure vegi,gujrati.just now settled in canada since 2006.i am retired.

When I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, the doctor could not tell me why I developed it. I am in great shape, exercise every other day, I don’t smoke or drink. I have a very good diet and have never been big on salt, yet I developed it anyway. I am on medication which is not currently working, I don’t know what the problem is.

I went to a clinic and they told me for my age(18)my blood pressure should be at 120-80,mine is between 140-148-80,my grandfather on my mom side had diebetes and my mom has it.There both kinda big and im really skinny.The nurse was sayin it’s probaly genetics. How can i bring it down?

My mom is 46 years old and her doc. said that she has high blood pressure. He wants to put her on bp pills, but who wants to take pills the rest of their lives!? She’s revised her free lance diet and is watching what she eats. Anyone have pratical natural cures to lower blood pressure that has been proven to work or worked for you or someone you know?

Is there any natural ways ot cure high blood pressure

I have a friend with diabetes type 1 that is presently being bothered by elevated blood pressure readings.
does anyone know of some natural remedies?

thanks for all the in-put. My friend is already very involved in using natural alternatives. He is also very physically active.
His recently ordered some Oriental suppliments that are supposed to help this situation
J.B.
thanks, but my friend has been a type 1 (IDDM ) for over 30 yrs. He is in excellent physical shape , except for this issue

yes, he is using celery, but along with sodium-free V8 – which worked for him once before

I have high blood pressure, and the medicine makes me sick, so im looking for some herbs that might do the trick, anything?

what can I do if I have high blood pressure and I am dying?

I have asthma/allergies and anemia. I also have blood pressure that was 145/95 in November. I have been using Proventil for a few months for my asthma, but I generally only use it once every few days. When I was told about my high blood pressure in November, the doc said she wanted to wait a month before she decided to put me on medication for it. I then started taking garlic, fish oil, and about that time I started using a Neti pot. When I went back to the doctor, (a month later) my blood pressure was 142/86. I feel that either one or all of the things that I did that I previously mentioned contributed to this significantly lower bottom number. What do you guys think? The doc still decided to put me on atenolol and iron pills, but I am wondering if it can help more than these natural remedies already are.

I do not have high cholesterol or any thyroid issues. I do have a fast heartbeat (about 100 times per minute) The doc thinks that my fast heartbeat is directly related to the anemia.
Phoenix ~ I already said that I was taking garlic. If you read the ENTIRE question, you would have known that
VRG ~ The salt thing is a great point. I never "add" salt to anything, but there is tons of salt in processed foods, so I am trying to eat less of those types food.

I also started taking hawthorne, too, when I started the Atenolol.

The ones you find to be tried and true:

Such as potassium in bananas for high blood pressure for example or steamed broccoli for the calcium. One resource I read claimed that it may not be just high sodium intake but also a mineral deficiency such as potassium and calcium causing or something that can help lower it.
Here’s another resource. http://www.home-remedies-for-you.com/remedy/High-Blood-Pressure.html

Any other successful natural pain and hypertension reducers that you know of?

I need a proven medicine especially from someone who has used such medicine or tea or drink before. Thanks. Need this urgently.

will stem cell research cure high blood pressure, diabetes, & high clolesterol for good?

My father-in-law has ancestral high blood pressure. Also his heart is not healthy, so sometimes it affects the blood pressure to get higher either. Now when something happens or if his blood pressure gets higher he has to take really powerful medicine, which is not good for his other bodies. Even sometimes when his blood pressure gets higher he gets really close to the stroke. I could feel that. So my question is "Is it possible to cure ancestral high blood pressure, also high blood pressure that caused by heart abnormality?"

Is there drugs or food that can cure high blood pressure permanently?

Hi guys please let me know what are the general method to treat high blood pressure?

father on treatment for hypertension asked to monitor his blood pressure periodically

I also have a swollen lympnode in my neck, it has not gone away for a month and has not responded to any antibiotic treatment. My blood test are all fine, but My blood pressure is slightly high. My thymus gland was spotted being swollen on a cat scan in which my doctor ordered, after my chest xray came back abnormal. I’m worried, of course, but could this be cancer, which is my biggest fear.

my father is 56 years old 3 years hypertensive newly diagnosed diabetes non smoker,thin , no heart problem had an infarction CVA 12 days back,MRI to his brain showed infarction in pons, had left hemiplegia after 4 days he started physiotherapy now he regained some power, I want to ask about prognosis and if he will be able to recover completely ? now his blood pressure is good after taking medication

Yesterday my husband was fine and then he started getting a dull ache in his chest (not in the center but more on his left side near his armpit). Then it got worse when he would breathe in, move suddenly or raise his arm.

He was in serious pain last night to the point of wanting to cry. His mother (respiratory therapist) came over and his lungs sounded good, heartbeat fine, blood pressure was good. He took advil and the pain went away. Today the pain is back, though not as bad as last night!

He mentioned it to someone he knows, and the guy said once he strained a muscle or something in his chest once and the pain sounded exactly like a broken blood vessel, which was what his friend was diagnosed with. So I am trying to find info about broken blood vessels and so far = nothing.

I just want to find out symptoms of a broken blood vessel, and treatments. Anyone know??

I went to a local minor-emergency clinic (not my primary physician who normally handles my blood pressure treatment–it was in the evening and I was feeling really crummy) last night for a bad cold that I had for about a week, started out like a sinus/allergy thing but the last few days turned into a sneezing and coughing up yellow mucus type of event, so I went for an exam and they said I had a case of bronchitis.

Was prescribed albuterol inhaler for the bronchitis, but now I read on the internet that maybe sometimes it’s not best to take these two drugs together? Atenolol is for high blood pressure in my case. I gave my list of medications to the doctor I saw last night, any chance they could have overlooked that? Or is it common and effective to take these two drugs together?

I need to be treated for high blood pressure..So where can i go for help

What sphygmomanometer reading indicates that an individual has high blood pressure?

Treatment for hypertensio?

The condition stems from many years of high blood pressure. I am 55 and hope this doesn’t lead to dialisys.

I was just diagnosed with Addison’s Disease (Adrenal insufficiency) and my biggest problem is that my heart has become rather weak as a result of going undiagnosed for years. I really don’t trust any of my doctors to give me a straight answer so that is why I am asking here. I had a normal echo recently, but my heartbeat and pulses are weak and my blood pressure averages 95/60 ish and getting lower as I have gotten sicker. When they start me on the hydrocortisone and florinef and all that can my heart become strong again?
I was just diagnosed two days ago and they want to do some more test to check for tuberculosis before they give me the treatment. And to answer about my distrust in doctors, well I saw about 50 different doctors since I fell ill and not one of them was able to figure out what was wrong with me until I met my endocrinologist. Over the last year I was misdiagnosed with DEPRESSION, GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER, CONVERSION DISORDER, IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME, MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE SYNDROME, SOMATIZATION DISORDER, HYPOCHONDRIASIS…….WOW!

That is why I do not trust doctors, because not one of them even considered that I may be experiencing Adrenal failure. This includes 3 hospitalizations this year where "no one can figure out what is wrong" took place. Turns out I was having Addisonian Crisis symptoms all 3 times. They had THREE times to figure it out. My blood work showed: Elevated Potassium and BUN. Lowered Sodium and Chloride. I had a resting heart rate of 120. Smart guys….

One of the listed side effects of Lotrel is swelling in the throat. Can someone tell me how it causes it? Specifically, i have a lump in my throat and i can connect it to the beginning of my blood pressure treatment with lotrel. Any thoughts?

I’m a 49yr. old male w/ non-hodgeskins b-cell, stage 4 lymphoma. Have been treated 6x w/ rytuxin ending 8/25/07. Cancer was substantially reduced. However it came back by 9/20/07. On 10/8/07 rec’vd 3 days continuous chemo of carboplatin, Ifex and rytuxin. In 3 days have lost weight, mostly muscle mass, had difficulty breathing, and severe drop in blood pressure causing two 40 second blackouts. The previous 6 rytuxin treatments had relatively no ill side effects. Also have cancer in the bone marrow, which has not been treated to date.
I’m trying to find out how I may aggressively combat this cancer while also treating the adverse side effects indicated above. It is important for me to continue my work so that I can support my family and keep my excellent medical benefits. Deepest thanks.

The water treatment in question prescribes 4 x 160ml glasses of water every morning when waking but before washing the treeth. Then brush the teeth, and 45 minutes later one can drink or eat normally.
This procedure will cure the diseases of the sick and others can enjoy healthy life if taken during:
30 days for Blood Pressure and Diabetes
10 days for Gastric and constipation
90 days for TB
180 days for cancer.
I feel this too good to be true. Although I have nothing to loose in following the treatment, I wonder whether this is based on some scientific or medical research.
I will appreciate your views

I’ve asked before whether the media hate the Wings, and concluded that it’s just boring to say ‘The Wings are Very Good’ so they don’t say it.

Combine that with the Sid Crosby Fan Club – (and I don’t hate Sid, I’m a mom, and I think he’s an excellent player) am I likely to need treatment for my blood pressure if I listen to the commentary and analysis?

My cat, the love of my life, is not doing well and I have to make the horrible decision of whether to put her down or not.

She’s old. Her age is unknown (adopted 2 yrs ago) but it’s estimated to be around 14. She has kidney failure and has been receiving treatment for about 9 months. The kidneys are really bad and the treatment has not “fixed” it but it has been effective in the sense that kidneys have been stable.

Problem: about two weeks ago, her right eye started getting bloody. The doctors said it’s due to high blood pressure. After all the treatments, the eye got worse and now my poor baby has developed glaucoma. The blood pressure came down a little but it’s still high.

Decision

Option 1: Removing the eye: given her physical condition, her chances of surviving the surgery/recovery are 50/50 %.
Her vet said she may have about six months to live after the surgery.
Option 2: Putting her to sleep.

I cant decide. Please help, SOON.
What makes it hard for me is that she’s still eating and enjoys her tummy rubs and purrs when I hug her. If she was in a lot of pain she would stop eating and go hide is some corner….I keep asking what if she were to live another year or more if I do the surgery? Kindney failure is actually not painful; it’s more like a silent killer. It’s just the surgery may have complications. But it may not. I just don’t know what to do.
I have got 4 opinions. Glaucoma in cats is not treatable like it is in humans especially when the cat is already blind (mine was blind when I adopted her). The eye has to come out because it’s pain if it doesn’t. So it’s either risk the surgery or let her go.
My problems is that I do know if SHE is ready to leave. I’m willing to do whatever she wants only if she could talk and tell me. I would never keep her alive if she is suffering and I know she would tell me if she was ready to go. I don’t she’s ready to go yet because she’s eating, purring, using her litter box…it’s just that the outcome of surgery may not be good.
Oops, I meant "my problem is that I DON’T know if she is ready to leave"…

First of all I NEVER go to the doctor but I get a routine physical each year. Last December 4th I had been sick for 2 weeks with a bad cough and bronchitis-like symptoms. I finally was told go to doctor by my concerned employer because they felt there might be MOLD in our office. I went that very day to my DR. of two years and he did chest xray and prescribed antibiotic. That treatment worked and I also found there was no MOLD. More than a week later the DR. contacted me to come in for treatment of high blood pressure recorded during the Dec 4 visit. By the time I was called I was recovered and did not have high BP and declined to see the DR. for this again. He wrote on Feb. 18th he had discharged me as his patient due to ‘non-compliance’. I ask you, why did he not treat the high blood pressure the moment I was in distress???? And why dismiss me now, as I do NOT have High BP.
I ran out of room on the first detail. To answer the question I know I do NOT have HP because my husband does and we both monitor our BP. I do it with a separate cuff to encourage him. That is coincidental to my situation too and I wanted to add it. My husband’s BP is 100% under control through medication due to his work, which like my employer require yearly physical. Thanks.
As I said, this DR. did not even address my BP at time of visit. Where was the concern then? I was taking 3 different OTC medicatations: Dayquil, Nyquil, Robitussin by the time I was seen and those were making me sick at my stomach and I coudnt take it anymore. Thanks.
Marco, you are so right. And this non-compliance issue is my concern too. Will I be able to find another physician? This whole situation is crazy. I mean I didn’t accuse him of anything or ask questions until the ‘non-compliance’ issue came up. I didn’t even know what non-compliance was and had to ask. Thanks.
Mom, I declined the offer to return is what happened and it was over the phone where the nurse called me later. I guess I should have gone, in hindsight, and would have if I reazlied he could dismiss me. It all seems very unfortunate. Thanks.

I know there are a lot of options, I have insurance, but I’m trying to anticipate the impact on my budget! What do you pay for the meds? Do you know what they cost?

Lifestyle change is not an option for treatment. Not overweight, good diet, gym workout daily, treadmill 4+ miles daily, cholesterol, sodium, potassium levels fine. It’s genetic, so meds are the option. I’m averaging 148/100, peaking at 168/110.

Bums me out because I’m been 115/70 forever. This symptoms just started a couple of months ago but I did not see a doc until last week. High bp never occurred to me!

I am scheduled to start taking a kidney transplant class, and then take dialisis. I have read many articles about dialisis and I really don’t want to go through this procedure. I would like to take herbal supplements and/or foods that will flush the kidneys. My amonia levels are high. I am thinking on detox my body for this purpose. Any ideas? I am taking prescription medications for all these conditions. I strongly believe in stem cell treatment, and for this reason I am taking Stem Cell Plex which is a capsule type of supplement to induce my own stem cell growth.

My mother was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma a few weeks ago, she has an 11.6 centimeter mass on her left kidney. She was hospitalized last weekend because they gave her morphine for pain, it dropped her blood pressure extemely low. That is when we found out the cancer had spread to other organs (liver,pancreas, lymph nodes and stomach) the doctors said she would only make it a few weeks to a month. That is when I looked into this cancer center, her insurance has been approved and they want to schedule her flight asap. I just want to know if anyone out there has had good results with ctca? I have a friend who goes with her mother who had breast cancer metasis to her liver and bone who goes to ctca and she said they were great. Are they as wonderful as my friends mom says?
My mom is also doing better now, she’s home from the hospital and she’s not as weeks and she’s eating . My mom says she’s ready to fight this.

My blood pressure was 174/82 and I have a headache and sleepy

My PCP Dr is a real Drama Queen. My BP is 126/78 and cholesterol 208. He insisted that I go on medicine for both. He put me on 20 mgs of Lisinopril for the BP and 10 mgs of Zocor for cholesterol.
I’ve been taking this garbage for 2 months now and I have never felt so god-awful in my entire life.
When I stand up I almost faint I’m so dizzy (I’m scared to drive anymore for fear I’ll pass out behind the wheel.) My muscles ache all the time, I’m nauseated and feel like I have the flu 24/7. I’ve told him this twice in the past two months and he keeps saying to stay on the medication and that I’ll get "used to it."
I went to see a cardiologist for a second opinion and he said that he wouldn’t have gone to such an aggressive treatment for BP and cholesterol that are just slightly over what they should be.
I’m not overweight, I eat healthy (very little if any red meat,) excerise, don’t drink or smoke.
PS. Heart disease, High BP or Cholesterol do not run in my family. Cancer and bipolar disorder do.
due to feeling sick all the time, my depression level is very high. I have a good mind just to throw all this stuff away and never take it again. Go back to feeling like a human being again.

My mom had caught with "Cirrhosis of the Liver" back in 2000. It got diagnosed in 2002 when she started feeling tired, no appetite, swollen feet, blue marks on skin and abdominal pain. Doctors also told us that she has "Hepatitis C". We started her treatment with "Roferon 3mu". After six months she got better. We found last year that her "Cirrhosis of the Liver" problem is again disturbing her health. We took her for blood test but there were no detections of "Hepatitis" anymore. Doctor told us that her liver is damaged and it is in the "De-compensated Stage". It can not be reversed but it can be stopped to go further. Now she has swollen feet again, watter in abdomen, blue marks on lower legs, itching skin, minor fever, a little high blood pressure but she is not a Diabetic. Her last test results were these. (i called her home to get these readings. if you find any trouble you can e-mail for this.)

I had pre eclampsia with my 1st pregnancy, they didnt find it till like the last 3 weeks or my pregnancy an i had nothing for it just being monitored. I am pregnant again and i am only 26weeks and i have been having the blurring vision and headaches and the all over not feeling well. I was just wondering what happens if they find i have it again this early?? what treatment do they provide??

I have gout and high blood pressure. I take Diova 160/25 and Norvasec for BP and Alopurinol for gout. I get swelling in the legs. My doctors can’t fix this problem. When they change the drugs or doze my blood pressure goes up and I get gout attack….anyone out there who has my problem?

I am suffering from high blood sugar and hypertension. My 2 doctors gave me their prescriptions. For high blood sugar, metformin and for high blood pressure, Filodepine with metoprolol. Reading the inserts in both, i discovered that one is not to be taken with the other. I am confused and sometimes refuse to drink both at the same time. Please advise.

I have had amenorrhea(lack of period) for about a year and a half. I have read that HGH (human growth hormone) treatments can help with a wide variety of health issues ie. high blood pressure, bone density, menstrual cycles, hair skin and nails. I was wondering if anyone new a little more first hand about the possibility of using HGH as a treatment.

If you have been on this medication for treatment of high blood pressure, how long will the medication stay in your system if you stop taking it?

Only answer if you or someone you know has experienced it.
How high did it go, what symptoms were there, and what was the treatment.

I am patient of high blood pressure for the last 22 years and now it has been observed that i have cyst in my left kidney..I shall thank , if someone can suggest the remedy either nature cure or ayurvedic or homeopath and suggest good diet to keep kidneys healthy..I am pure veg no drink, no smoke.

I have an 18 yo cat. He has serious hyperthyroid, high blood pressure, arthritis, and his vision is bad. His kidneys are OK but on the downward slide, and his liver is iffy.

Every time I go to the vet they say, "Well, he’s not getting better. Let’s adjust his medications, and bring him back in 3 weeks–plus I’d like to add another medication." These visits and tests run me close to 0, and of course they never have a clue what the medications cost. I’ve been through this several times now.

Well, he’s not going to get "better"–he’s 18! What will all these adjustments really achieve, besides costing a fortune and denying me the chance to really deal psychologically with the fact that my cat is slowly dying. But they only write the prescriptions for a few weeks at a time, so I have to go back.

Can I/should I say I don’t want to do any more blood panels, and insist they just renew the prescriptions he’s on for some reasonable period like 6 months?
How can I say this? His quality of life is still OK, I just want to pick a medication level and stick with that until it’s time to put him down, and just monitor things like his weight to see how it’s working.
I didn’t say I wanted to put him down, I said his quality of life is OK now. But they’re talking long-term treatments on a cat who doesn’t have a long-term ahead. His numbers don’t have to be perfect if he’s not going to live long enough for it to matter.

Blood pressure treatment

I have an enlarged heart from 15 years of uncontrolled blood pressure. Give advise please.

A 70 year elderly male is not able to breathe properly and he is coughing and severe cold and he is not able to take his food properly and he is having high blood pressure but no sugar . Kindly advice what will be problem and what is the solution for this problem in detail. Is it a cause of worry or it is an ordinary problem which can be cured. The ECG is normal but at times it is erratic.

I know someone who is experiencing the following symptons: fainting, dizzyness, blurred vision. He fainted 3 times for the last 10 days. He can’t sleep well. He said when he fainted the first time, he felt everything shrink. He couldn’t see welll after the first time he fainted. It’s not because he’s got myopia cuz he doesnt! He’s constantly dizzy. He was diagonosed with high blood pressure several years ago. Anyways I wonder how long it takes the Warden to approve and is there something I can do to rush them.?Call the lawyer or what? because he needs help immediately and Im afraid his symptoms are gonna get worse!
please dont be judgemental and think "he’s got what he deserved." He’s in a low security jail.
He has requested to see medical help. He’s jus afraid the the staff has neglected his application

A 21-year-old noncompliant female with a history of type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus was found in a coma. Her blood glucose was high, as well as her urine glucose, urine ketones, and serum ketones. Her serum bicarbonate was < 12 mEq/L. Her respiration was exaggerated and his breath had an acetone odor. Her blood pressure was 90/60 and his pulse weak and rapid (120).

What is the cause of the dyspnea, hypotension, and tachycardia?

I also have high blood pressure and thyroid trouble. my sysmptoms are leg pain and daytime sleepiness. I had a sleep study done and was told that I have the Fibromyalgia. I am on meds for depression , highblood pressure and thyroid. I already take the zanaflex and ultracet and voltarin. Along with klopin wellbutrin synthroid and topral xl and a baby asprin. What else can be done? What type of dr should I go to to have this treated? Any help would be great.

I have tried elevating the legs but this isn’t always possible especially at work. Have a stent in the left coronary artery; on blood pressure medicine and aspirin regimen. Also bipolar disorder recently diagnosed. Taking Lithium and Risperdal. Also taking famotidine for stomach pain. Just worried that the edema is cardiac related and worry about Congestive Heart Failure. Heart problems are very predominant in family history.

any traditional treatment or modern tips…

i have very low blood pressure and I am also having some breathing broblems. I just feel really weak. I chest hurts from time to time. I don’t do INTENSE work out, but I do excercise quite regulary. So I knwo it’s not because i am unhealthy. I try to get enough sleep…but it doesn’t help. I have been quite stressed out lately…so i don’t know if that has anythign to do with it.

Is there anythign else I should be aware of in this situation? Are there certain treatments that I should look into or consult my doctor about? My doctor is useless so I am planning to switch.

I am 55 and have been under treatment for an erratic heartbeat since I was in my late 20’s. However, the treatment I’m presently receiving – 320 mg. of Inderal per day plus 1.5 mg of Xanax – is only partially effective. I am wondering if there might be a more effective treatment available to me. The condition doesn’t bother me much when I am resting or relaxed. Though it seems to be triggered mostly by my emotions, I have noticed that more and more it flares up under physical strain as well. I seriously doubt if I could endure a stress test simply because the fear of such a test would probably trigger an episode before they could even start it. I’ve never had any chest pains or any other symptoms of heart disease. I am also being treated for mildly high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and an anxiety disorder. What bothers me most is the degree to which I am affected psychologically by all this. It puts a crimp in my lifestyle and keeps me from doing things that I might ……
otherwise do. Oh, and by "erratic heartbeat", I am not alking about a rapid or racing heart. I am talking about a condition where the heart seems yo lose its rythm and creates a sensation of having a butterfly lose inside my chest. Also, I would prefer that only qualified medical personnel answer this question. Thanks.

I gave birth 2 months ago and had high blood pressure and 1+ protein in urine past my 28th week.

The problem now is that the high blood pressure actually CAME BACK 2 weeks after birth (didn’t have before birth). I almost was admitted in the hospital but it went down to 140/90 and is staying near that even with the 2 meds im taking. One month ago my protein in my urine was "trace" and now it’s +1!!! I also have a urinary tract infectino that has been untreated for the past 3 months because of the baby and breastfeeding (whcih i now gave up)
My questions are :
1) is it my pressure causing this or the urinary infection ?
2) how concerned should i be?
3) is it reversable and what are the treatments?

and yes im going to teh doc on tuesday, just worried and don’t like waiting

the dr. diagnosis me with a hematoma to the forearm, I am doing everything the dr orders but the hematoma is getting larger. the reason for the hematoma was caused by taking my blood pressure too much, it has no pain and no bruising. Can i have the wrong diagnosis . Is elevation and hot treatments all i can do?

My aunt had Parkinson’s disease and was found one day with facial drooping on one side. No scans were performed to confirm if she had a stroke or not. It was just assumed she had one. No treatment was given toward her recovery and she developed pneumonia quickly and died within days. Mind you, nothing was given to treat pneumonia either. She was previously fairly active (got out and about with me for dinner and shopping etc) and although her face was drooping the stroke diagnosis baffled me as her blood pressure was always low-moderate. Has anyone heard of someone with low-mod blood pressure suffering stroke or even those with Parkinson’s as no one in the know has yet given me any answers. Thanks.

I just looked it up since I got off the phone with my mom who has been managing her high blood pressure naturally for a couple of years. She said it really worked for her when she tried it. I’ve seen hbp questions here, and never run into a beet juice answer. I was wondering if others have tried it, or if it is still fairly new and just breaking into the high blood pressure treatment news? I’m glad she discovered it, but I’m wondering why I hadn’t heard about it before this.

My cousin recently told me that his mother at the age of 60, and unemployed, was turned down for health insurance some years back, because one of the first questions the agent she was applying with asked, "Do you have high blood pressure?" When she said yes, the agent said they could not cover her due to the condition. She was of course, not old enough for Medicare, so she was without medical insurance until she could get Medicare. That lack of health insurance ended up being the death of her, because she was not able to affordable treatment on her own and by the time she did have Medicare and a supplement, her serious condition had progressed to the critical stage. How sad. Her husband 65, was already drawing Medicare with AARP as a supplement. He was unable to continue paying the extremely high premiums of the company insurance he had at his job, once he retired. Anyone with a similiar situation, or know someone this has happened to?
This incident happened over 15 yrs ago.

Does treatment stop heart failure or does it just slow the progression of heart failure prolonging a person life but will cause death eventually if something else doesn’t cause death first???

Also what is the likely hood of a person having heart failure if ekg was normal, blood pressure is normal and the person doesn’t have hypertension, etc.

I have always thought that a good course of action for prescribing blood pressure meds was this: angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors like Lisinopril. After which you try strong diuretics like Lasix. If those don’t work, you can try clonidine for CNS depression of cardiovascular system, or you can offer a beta blocker like Lopressor which works to slow the heart and decrease cardiac output hence pressure on arterial walls and vessels. Beta blockers are contraindicated in asthmatic patients (like myself, who hadn’t had an asthma attack since I was a kid until I confidently feeling I no longer had asthma, decided it was safe to go w/ a beta blocker, but *oh no!*). So, I guess I am saying that before I would move beyond slowing the heart or knocking the CNS a bit back, those 2 being the outer limits of what is a first approach (and I’m not talking about slight hypertension, I am talking severe long-term medically dangerous hypertension that is difficult to control and not responding to diet/lifestyle modifications), the very last thing on my list is a calcium channel blocker, because it works by forcing vessels to dilate, the danger being someone who has had constricted vessels for a long time or heart conditions in general will more likely have plaque build up, blood clots, and etc. The calcium channel blocker, in my opinion, is dangerous b/c w/out the proper pre-tests, it can set someone who is pre-disposed to stroke, heart attack, or cardiac arrest due to past heart complications on a collision course with plagues that were previously lodged in places other than, say, your brain, lungs, leg arteries, and in or around the heart. Well, I finally had to go that route after unsuccessful treatment w/ everything *but* the betablocker. and clonidine only works for a short time. My diastolic pressure is the most "out there" at >100 nearly every time I test and sometimes much higher. My heart gets next to nothing in of rest between beats (and my pulse if very high at 120 +/- 10 pts at rest. That’s why the betablocker was a good choice for me (too bad about the asthma). I haven’t had any of the tests completed yet, and I can’t really afford them right now, but I get horrible headaches and my vessels throb throughout my body. It’s terrible and not an a symptomatic case in the least! Plus my biological died of stroke in her 50s, and I’m in my 30s. Any calcium channel blocker horror stories?
Not true that "I have made up my mind." Obviously, I have taken the advice of my doctor and filled the prescription and started on it. I am ready to do just about anything that will help. Right now, my bp is my enemy, not my medication; still, I have been skeptical, which is why I asked the question. My blood pressure is slowly coming down, and my bood doesn’t feel like a mercury guage. I am happy to read all you had to say, but wish it weren’t so nastily toned toward me, personally.

Hello,

Everytime I head for bed and I lay down on one of my sides (left, right… doesn’t matter) …I feel my heart beating, so loud that I can’t fall asleep. This does not occur when I’m laying on my back. I’ve had Helicobacter Pylori diagnosed and I’ve been treated with anti-biotics, the heartbeats dissapeared during the treatment and a while after but now they’re back. The heartpulse also makes a cracking sound around my armpits. I’ve done two blood pressure tests on the same machine and they had two completely different readings:

first:
upper: 127 mmHg
lower: 77 mmHg
pulse: 65 ppm

second:
upper: 162 mmHg
lower: 87 mmHg
pulse: 55 mmHg

the second one worries me a bit, low pulse high pressure?

Is there a way to mute these annoying heartbeats? I miss sleeping like a rock. And should i worry about my pressure?

Thanks!

information required very urgently.

I am currently 31 weeks pregnant with my first. At my routine appointment today my blood pressure was 140/90 which is high but usually it runs 170/80 which is very high. My blood pressure is always high at the office when they take it but i also have it checked by my mother who is a nurse every other day and it usually runs in the 130’s over 70’s. I am always nervous going to the doctor for checkups and I have no idea why. Anyway, my obgyn referred me to a high risk doctor and I was wondering what I can expect to happen at this visit. What are the treatment options and what are the odds that I will have to be hospitalized for the remainder of my pregnant or even deliver at 31 weeks? I am scared to death which i know only makes this worse as well but any serious answers would be greatly appreciated. Also there is no protein in my urine and i do not have gestational diabetes. I only get short of breath sometimes, other than that I feel fine. Thank you all in advance again.

am 46 , I am 153(I use to be 190) I am 6.2. I always had high blood pressure(since the age of 16) and it was always emotional high blood pressure. I started taking BP medication about 8 years ago. Now I am on 2 medications Coreg 12.5 per day & Benicar 40mg per day. I switched to a Fruitarian Rwafoodist diet and my readings got mucfh better. Last week my readings dropped to 100/62. At work I had an icident and the paramedics came. My doctor told me to stop both medications right away and resume when my BP is normal. Do I really need to resume? What are my options here? Thanks
It has been 4 days and my BP average 115/82(without meds).
I have been on my Fruitarian-Rawfoodist diet for about 1 year 1/2

I have no cardio problem except that I am emotional that’s why Coreg
In case my BP comes back to normal /bordeline range I was thinking going for hawthorn berries?

PS: I almost got into a cardio arrest because of those 2 meds at work. So plz telling me to talk to my doc first won’t improve things. My diet profile has totally changed as well as my weight . I use to be 190 when I started the treatment.

coz i keep hearing that it’s not good for young people to take blood pressure reducing drugs, is it just something that people keep mumbelling about, or is it based on facts,
& what exactly about Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors coz i read in wikipedia they’r used to treat heart failure (my heart is working fine)

I am at 115 over 65 and am experiencing vertigo when changing
from lying down to getting up and vice versa. Blood work shows everything to be near perfect as well as urine analysis. Have read that low blood pressure can effect organs in particular thyroid gland. Recently moved into tent with the following treatment of canvas: 12% decabromodiphenyl oxide, 6% antimony trioxide, .2% 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one. There is a new smell but only the dust is considered toxic during automation. I am 57, drink very little, don’t smoke, but like pot and Don’t like being dizzy. ???

My mother is 45 years old. She diagnosed with Lung Cancer (None Small Cell Cancer) a month before. She is now under Chemotherapy treatment. When we took her to the Doctor yesterday, the Nurse tried to check her Blood Pressure but it was so strange that her Blood Pressure could not appear in Blood Pressure Monitor. My elder brother told to the Doctor, he then checked her pulse it was OK but he didn’t describe that why can’t her blood pressure appear on the monitor.

So can anyone explain it that how is it possible? Please give me some information.

Thanks,

am 45. Fruitarian-Rawfoodist , 150 for 6.2. I was on 2 blood pressure medications for a few years but because of my diet & weight loss , my blood pressure dropped to 100/65 and I almost passed out. I was told to stop the medications then resume when it get to 140/80. I don’t wish to resume my meds but I would like to try an alternative treatment. I purchased some hawthorn berry pills. So far it has reduce my heart beats from 95 to 80 but in order to reduce my BP how many should I take? I only take 1 per day. My BP is now between 125/83 to 145/98 during the day. Thanks

I’ve a blood pressure ranging between 90/50 and 95/54 and my heart beat rate is 44-49 ish (If that matters!).
I get dizzy whenever I stand up or sit down, making any sudden movements as well, plus headaches!!
I do drink a lot of water and coffee to raise my blood pressure but it’s not working, any other treatments that could work besides medication?
Oh and I’ve been tying to take vitamins but again….no use!!

Thanks in advance!!
Lucy: Yeah, I’m sure……I’ve been taking regular readings and it’s always in the same range, I’ll make sure to visit the doctor as soon as I can.

And I’ve been trying to increase the salt intake but it’s not making any difference!!
Thanks =)

Hello and Thanks to all of you in advance:

Today, I was at a clinic going through initial screens for testing (as a volunteer "guinea pig") for a new pharmaceutical treatment. Part of the initial screens was a blood pressure test which must fit within tight parameters. What happened kind of stunned me, since I’ve never witnessed my body respond this way before, and I’m wondering why and if I need to be concerned about anything.

Previous to this screen, the protocol required that we not consume any caffeine or alcohol products for three days and also to fast for 10 hours previous to the screen, which I observed to the letter. I also do not use any drugs and do not smoke. Nor do I drink. I do exercise faithfully, but have not for the past couple days. I did take a multi-vitamin the day before (yesterday). No prescription meds, though.

I went into the screen very relaxed, having a full night’s sleep; not under any stress, etc. Good to go, so I thought.

However, for some VERY curious reason, when it came time for my blood pressure test, the readings fluctuated very significantly, and I’ve never witnessed such wide divergences in my life. Granted, I know that blood pressure readings will fluctuate every time you take them. And I normally have blood pressure results within the healthy range, or worst case, the "pre-hypertension" range (I am 52 and in good health).

However, this morning, the guy tested me 6 times (he was being kind – they’re only supposed to test once), and each time my BP fluctuated through what I thought was a wild range, both for systolic and diastolic measures. Each time, the BP readings for either side – systolic and diastolic – would go up or down in a range of 10-20 points!! Normally, the BP does not fluctuate that much (to the best of my knowledge, but that’s why I’m asking the community). And the weird thing was, I was totally relaxed, trying to meditate, etc., to get my BP in the range. It was always ONE number off; and, what was weird, is that one reading would show a leap on one side (say, diastolic) and a concomitant FALL in the other (systolic). Each reading showed both sides fluctuating like a teeter-totter; one up; the other down – like I said, in that 10-20 point wide range.

Does anyone out there have a clue as to why this kind of reading would show up like this? And need I be concerned about anything? Like I said, normally, when my BP is checked (at the Doctor, or wherever – even those free machines at Wal-Mart); the readings are fairly "normal."

This time, systolic was fluctuating between 120 and 140; and diastolic between about 72 and 93 – like a see-saw.

Thanks again for your help and ideas.

My ‘normal’ blood pressure is something like 172/140.

I am aware that I have hypertension, thank you.

I am 22, a 1 pack per day smoker. I do not drink coffee/energy drinks; I am 5′11" and 175lbs; which means I have a normal weight.

The hypertension is the onset of the treatment of my aortic carnation; in which a patch was sewn onto my aorta in order to give it a proper size; this was done 14 years ago.

My big question? Am I going to die at 50???

I have very low blood pressure and have trouble using painkillers like Tylenol that lower blood pressure as a treatment of pain. Does anyone know of any painkillers that treat pain without lowering blood pressure?

Okay so I’m 26 weeks pregnant when I went for my 20 week check up, I was 21 weeks and my blood pressure was high. This is my second pregnancy, with my first pregnancy 3.5 years ago I had twins and had blood pressure problems that later ended up with me being delivered due to pre-E but my blood pressure issue also started early on with them also. I was NEVER offered medication for blood pressure instead i was told to lay on my side if it went down all was okay if not then i was put on modified bed rest..

This pregnancy I have a different dr, my old drs sold their practice and this is the dr that took it over. When i went for my 21 week appointment, like i said my BP was high, she didnt retake it or anything and wrote me a script for blood pressure medication. I went home researched the medication and decided not to take it, i didnt feel that based on one reading of high blood pressure i needed to take it, i took my bp every few days at the store and it was normal most the time, i had a few high reading but on average it was really good.I then went last week and she asked if i was taking my medication, i told her no and she was really upset and said she wanted me to go to another dr so that it is documented that im refusing treatment.. I was actually offended by her actions and the fact that she didnt want to listen to me, I’m not completely opposed to medication if it is needed, i just didnt feel that based on ONE high reading i needed medication, i told her I would rather try some diet changes and other things first, and she responded that at my age that will not work at all. I’m 25.. why would it not work? I just find it odd that she never retook it to double check, instead wanted to give me medication without first talking about alternatives.. Like I said I will take it if i have to, im just not sure if i do.. After i had my twins i was put on medication cause my BP would not go down and my heart rate was way to high.. the medication made me feel so horrible i was always about to faint.. I just cant imagine feeling that way being pregnant taking care of 2 three year olds..

Anyways, that got really long.. Have any of you taken blood pressure medication when pregnant? Did your dr try other things first? what is your view on this?

Please dont respond with "dr knows best" I’m sorry I do not feel that is always the case so please do not waste your time..

Also I am going to a MFM dr, who was the dr i also seen when i was pregnant with my twins, he is going to review my blood pressure issue and I also have a kidney problem (brought on by pregnancy) that was debilitating my last pregnancy and it is coming back.. they could be linked, which my current dr even told me but didnt say that until after she was mad about me not filling the prescription.
my BP when she gave me the script was 137/86 then my last appointment when she got mad it was 140/90.. however like i said i have been taking it and it has not been high like that.

Also my kidney issue has nothing to due with high blood pressure.. but could cause high blood pressure..

Thanks everyone for the input.. glad to see I was not totally out of line

My friend is having a Blood Pressure reading of 65/90.

Since my youth I have high blood pressure. Now I am feeling it. Are there any natural treatment / Cure for this? Like any diet, exercise etc
Any thing

I was prescribed with my first inattentive ADD treatment -Adderall- yesterday. But before taking it in for the first time right now, I constantly feel very lightheaded everytime I stand up, and it’s been like that for a year. I sometimes don’t drink a lot of water, and it might be possible that the cause for it is low blood pressure (but i dont know). Should I take in Adderall for my ADD, or wil the side effects worsen what im feeling right now?

Blood pressure medicine question ?
does lisinopril and AMLODIPINE good drugs for high blood pressure with less side effect and are both of them for long treatment ?
does anyone taking amlodipine ? is it ok for young people who have high blood pressure to take amlodipine coz i know lisinopril if the first treatment

And if so..what was your treatment?…not over weight either.

doctors tells us that hypertension is bad, and they have medication treatments, but they dont tell the side effects or alternative ways of treating hypertnesion

A week and a half ago, I was in an accident at work. I breathed in a large amount of nitrogen, which the doctor said combined with the oxygen in the air and resulted in nitrous oxide poisoning.

I went to the hospital with some burns (frostbite, really), headache, confusion, and a sore throat and lungs. By 6-7 hours later, I was having difficulty breathing. At the hospital (again), they just did a chest x-ray and gave me Albuterol and send me home.

By 3 days later I had bad chest pains and shortness of breath, was coughing up (dry and phlegm) and had a headache. I went to a different hospital this time, and they did a full workup with blood tests, breathing treatments, intravenous steroids, etc. My pulse ox went back up to 98% while I was there. I was diagnosed with chemical pneumonia and sent home with breathing treatments, steroids, an antibiotic, and tylenol with codeine.

I was supposed to follow up with a pulmonologist yesterday, but workers comp hasn’t approved it so I have to wait. I am worried because I keep having these wheezing fits were I can’t breath (like asthma I guess) and if I hadn’t had the Albuterol inhaler a couple of times I would have been in trouble. I am also worried because each time I went to the hospital and now when I check it my blood pressure is WAY high. It’s always been super low, around 105 over 70, now I’m averaging around 140 over 95.

No previous respiratory problems, blood pressure problems, really any problems but knee surgery. I’m only 26. Any ideas as to what’s going on.

P.S. My coughing and chest pain isn’t clearing up, either.

I’am a hammer thrower, I take for blood pressure treatment COZAAR 50mg in the morning & NORVASC 5mg in the evening,& I would like to know if any or both of the above mentioned drugs might give a positive + result in the doping test

My GF’s mom was diagnosed last week with aortic dissection type B. She was sebt to ER followed by admittance to hosital for 4 days. They just gave her blood pressure treatment and pain killers. They told her to go home two days ago but then she is still in pain. The pain comes every 4 hours right befroe she has to take her meds. It goes away after 4 hours then comes back again. Her BP rises and drops throughout the day with highest levels at when the pain comes back. How long will these periods of pain last? She would get fevers late at night accompanied by sharp pains and this is very worrysome. How long will these pain/fever episodes last?
thanks all for your help. since i cannot email you all in private due to your emails being hidden, please email me with help and answers so i can chat directly with you. my email is steven_zhao79@hotmail.com

I would appreciate it very much if any of you can help us on this matter. i would gladly do my best to help you back in return.

My son is only 21 months old and per his visit at the pediatric cardiologist he thinks that the leak has gone from mild to moderate since his last check and recommends starting him on a blood pressure medication 3x per day I think its called something like cardthacan or something (not sure) but his blood pressure is fine 70/48 when we were there and I dont think I want him on meds 3x per day at not even 2 yrs old, the DR says this is to dilate blood vessels and minimize the leak back into the ventricle…I just wondered if anyone has any history or thoughts on this plan of treatment? Thanks in advance.
A concerned confused mom
….a big concern is that the meds can cause chronic cough and lowers blood pressure which can cause dizziness pr passing out…thats a little scary for a one year old

I would think the answer is yes, but my MD wants to raise my BP meds. I have moderate sleep apnea, and just started a treatment program.

A researcher wishes to determine whether people with high blood pressure can reduce their blood pressure by following a particular diet. Subjects were randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group. The mean blood pressure was determined for each group, and a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the mean for the treatment group and the control group, was found to be (-21, -6). A. We know that 95% of all people who follow the particular diet will have a blood pressure between 6 and 21 points lower than people who do not follow the diet.
B. With 95% confidence, people who follow the diet have an average blood pressure between 6 and 21 points higher than people who do not follow the diet.
C. With 95% confidence, people who follow the diet have an average blood pressure between 6 and 21 points lower than people who do not follow the diet.
D. We know that 95% of all experiments done on the population will show that the average blood pressure for people who follow the diet is between 6 and 21 points lower than the average blood pressure for people who do not follow the diet.
E. We are 95% confident that a randomly selected subject in the treatment group had a blood pressure between 6 and 21 points lower than a randomly selected subject in the control group.

There’s a radio ad playing on local radio here in Los Angeles for Ameal BP, a blood pressure treatment. The announcer sounds amazingly like William Shatner. Is he the actor in the commercials?

The largest-ever study of treatments for diabetes has shown that a fixed combination of two blood pressure lowering drugs reduces the risk of death, as well as the risks of heart and kidney disease.

Dr. recommended Lipitor or Zocor, and a mild blood pressure med, even tho cholesterol and blood pressure are normal. Says studies now show that diabetics should have lower limits than non-diabetic. Says studies show cholesterol meds can coat the blood vessels and prevent heart and stroke issues, even if cholesterol readings are normal. Says mild dose of blood pressure meds also will help prevent issues with blockages in the kidneys. Also recommended 81mg aspirin every other day. No heart issues ever, 58 yr old man on insulin, Humalog and Lantis, not controlled to normal levels. Normal A1c, and normal liver enzyme levels.
Is this a new treatment philosophy?
The "uncontrolled" is the drastic swings in his readings, but it’s true, his A1C stays below normal. The Dr.’s can’t explain it either. That’s why they worry about organ damage in the future, so far his organs are ok. As for the answer telling me to "ask a Doctor, well, that’s what we’ve done, we wanted some diabetics first hand experience, thank you.

medicine for over 10 years (hypertension) that the cause was my adrenal glands. Does anyone know any information about the function or treatment of this gland? Please help I don’t want to be placed on medication that will have some bad effects.

I am a 31 year old male. In excellent shape, 170 lbs 5′11 – I have unexplained hypertention. I have been on 40mgs of accupril for most of 9 years. I recently went to a cardiologist for an annual check up and received a echo and stress test, check for LVH and other cardiac issues. All results were normal. My blood pressure usually reads 125/80 w/ medication but recently I have been seeing lower diastolic pressures 125/65. My doctor added a diuretic to my treatment last year and I have stoped weight lifting which my cardiologist suggested might not be good for a hypertensive. Since then I have been running on average 8- 10 miles a week. Like i said my last cardio echo was perfect,…..could all this cardio and running be lowering my diastolic? If not what could it be if my echo’s are clean ?

Duration of treatment for high blood pressure

My cat is 13. He has slightly high BP. Otherwise healthy. Does anyone know of a alternative treatment? I’d rather not give him drugs.

I WENT FOR A TEST AND IT’S RESULT SAYS, I HAVE LOW BLOOD PRESSURE BUT THEY SEEM NOT TO RECOMMEND ANY TABLET FOR THE TREATMENT.

Specifically, stage 1 hypertension. Please cite references. Thanks.
Actually, I exercise a lot–an hour a day of running. Doctor says that’s why my heart rate is so low–49BPM, and that that’s a "fit" indicator, but my BP is in the pre-hypertention/stage 1 area: 128/79 – 141/87. So, I have exercise, and pretty much, diet covered. I eat little to no meat, plenty of tofu and fatty fish, such as tuna and salmon, and at least 1 serving of fruits and vegetables daily.

Is Amlodipine goood medicine for hight blood pressure ?
is it a first line drug ? is it for long term treatment ? is it safe and less side effect from another medicine ? does it give for young age with high blood presssure ? has anyone take amlodpine ?

i am 30 years old , i am taking amlidipine 5 mg and lisinopril 10 mg for 2 months blood pressure now 130/66

My blood pressure is usually normal or slightly high but i was in the store today and i checked my blood pressure and it was 146/82 i am also slightly over weight and i am also on beta blockers which should lower my blood pressure so i’m kinda scared.What are some at home treatments i can do?

what is the possible diagnosis of this? I need help with my homework. I don’t plan to plagiarize or anything.

A 56-year –old woman presents to her doctor’s office complaining of gradually progressive, nonpainful enlargement of the terminal joint on her left hand over a 9-month period.She has some stiffness with typing but not first thing in the morning.She also reports pain in her right knee, which occasionally “locks up.” The right knee also hurts after long walks.On examination, her blood pressure is 130/85 mm Hg, heart rate 80 bpm, and weight 285 lb.Examination reveals only a nontender enlargement of her left distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, and the right knee is noted to have crepitus and slightly decreased range of motion.There is no redness or swelling.

Is it credible information? that by pouring hundreds of bedbugs on the bed of high blood person it can cure / reduce the high blood pressure problem of his /her body.

I looked up in a book what kind of headache I’ve been experiencing based on the symptoms, and it looks like a hypertension headache. It didn’t even sound like any other headache listed. I understand this means high blood pressure, but I was wondering… saving myself a trip to a doctor, how can I diagnose this myself?

I’m thinking I’d have to buy a blood pressure monitor, and take regular readings… totally doable. That would be better than making an appointment, waiting 2 weeks, and paying a co-pay to have him tell me to do that.

What I’m looking for from you is a website giving information on self-diagnosis of hypertension, and treatment options. At what point should I see a doctor? Etc.

Thank you

I want to talk to my doctor about my persistent cough. (I have cough asthma) and he doesn’t really take time to really think out treatment plans. I want to go in armed with suggestions as to what meds I can take. . . I also have high blood pressure, so I think this limits me. . . this is just to get me feeling okay. . . then I will be going to an allergist for long term control. Thanks!

I also have Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease and have a perfectly normal weight and exercise quite a bit.

Can everyone shoot me ideas of what hypertension has to do with EMT Basic assements and stuff. When is it important? Why does it help to know what it is?

What could be the reason for frequent blood pressure fluctuations and nose-bleeding? All tests (heart,kidneys etc) are normal. Is it in any way dangerous? Please advise. Any treatment?

My dad is 68years old he has very high blood pressure also he has very bas heart. What kind of medication he can take or home treatment. Please help. Thank you.
He has bad heart history.

The result of the blood pressure reading at the doctor’s office is very important. The reading is recorded and if it is abnormal, a form of treatment is discussede, based on this one reading yet the way the doctor’s assistant take the blood pressure reading if improper could produce an incorrect reading. Some take it with arms down, some with arms extended, and others with the patient standing up. Each produced varying results. Isn’t it the correct way to have the arm patient sitting with the arm the same level as the heart?

Detailed websites that give information on High blood pressure medications, treatment, and diagnosis. Also, what causes high-blood pressure and what to look for since "high blood pressure is a silent killer" amoungest Americans today.One more thing; information on medical breakthrough for thedisease and amybe a doctor’s forum where patients and doctor’s alike can give responses to medically asked questions.

My blood pressure is normally about 150-160 over 90. I am a highly stressed person all the time. I have bad anxiety alot. But once my infertility doctor sees how high my blood pressure is, will he not let me continue with the treatment to be able to have kids? Is there any safe blood pressure medicine you can take while pregnant that won’t hurt the babies?

I am a young adult female. 6 months ago I went on birth control pills for the first time, and at that time my blood pressure was 84/60. I just visited a doctor for treatment of a UTI and now my blood pressure is 135/86. I think this is abnormal for me…could the infection have elevated it? The only other thing that has changed is a bit more stress from school for me now.

I have low blood pressure. How I can raise my blood pressure?

Biofeedback, Resperate, acupuncture, yoga, aerobics, any ideas?
What works?

A. osteomyelitis.
B. osteopathy.
C. psychotherapy.
D. chiropody.

Could someone suggest a bulk herbs to mix to allow control blood pressure as a experiment? Ratio of herbs? I would like to capsule in size 00.

Maybe a good reference book for treatment of Type 2 Diabetes/High Blood Pressure?

I regularly check my blood pressure and recently, my blood pressure has been at the range from Prehypertension to Stage 1 Hypertension. I had a detailed physical exam a couple of weeks ago, and the doctor said it had nothing to do with what I ate. Not to mention, I eat VERY healthy. I eat mostly fruits and vegetables, very little meat, and almost no junk food at all (I’m not overweight/obese) either.

People have told me to "watch my diet," but as I’ve mentioned, I eat very healthy, and it has almost nothing to do with what I eat. So at this point, we are all assuming that my high blood pressure is caused by a series of stress from school, family, and friends–making it so I also lack sleep at the same time. I know "getting more sleep" is obviously a helpful treatment, but I’m looking for some more advice from health experts.

Is there any way I can treat this (i.e. meditation, more exercise, etc.)? Any other facts or advice related to high blood pressure are also welcome! Thank you!
Thanks to the people who have answered this question so far. But please, if you’re not going to read the details of this question, at least read the title of the question. I am looking for DRUG-FREE treatment…not pills or any kind of medication.

I just looked it up since I got off the phone with my mom who has been managing her high blood pressure naturally for a couple of years. She said it really worked for her when she tried it. I’ve seen hbp questions here, and never run into a beet juice answer. I was wondering if others have tried it, or if it is still fairly new and just breaking into the high blood pressure treatment news? I’m glad she discovered it, but I’m wondering why I hadn’t heard about it before this.

High blood pressure treatment that does not promote nausia

don’t want to take prescription drugs

I was at the dr the other day for treatment of anxiety disorder, my blood pressure was 112/84 which he and the nurse said was good, my pulse was 88 which was probably up b/c I was so upset. Is my blood pressure okay though? Usually the bottom number isn’t over 80.
I’m a major hypochondriac so I have trouble believing dr’s that there’s nothing wrong

I have my grandmother in ICU and they told us that the fluid that they take out of her body is being put back in with a medication that is keeping her blood pressure high so they can give her the dialysis treatment.

Is there anything else that can be done besides pumping her with fluid that can keep her blood pressure stable during the treatment? They are giving her two different types of medication through an IV to keep it from dropping.
Any advice would help. Thank you

I just had a MRI that showed a 3′ frontal lobe ischemia. Looking for some info while I wait for appt. with nurologist.

Is there an alternative, more natural way to lower blood pressure? (non-pill-popper)
Also, will taking the medication prescribed cause the body to be dependent on the medicine? If I begin to take them, then stop taking it, will it do more harm than good?

what is the treatment & medicine name for Low Blood Pressure

is it treatable

Is there any non-pharmeceutical treatments available?

Fact – Pharmeceutical high blood pressure treatments just treat the symptom not the cause.

Opinion – A life long pill to treat the symptoms is unacceptable!

What causes the condition?.

Is it a reversable condition?

I was hoping this question would be answered by a medical person.

My family member is on kidney-dialysis…meaning the intake of any excess water or salt can cause dangerous reactions in the body. At the dialysis center, to raise blood pressure they have the patient sit-up, swing the feet to increase blood flow, and eat a dill pickle.
I was wondering if there was anything else we might try.

I’m tired of these pharmaceuticals. Can anyone direct me toward a RELIABLE and SAFE natural, holistic way to manage my blood pressure? It’s not crazy high, but due to other conditions I must keep it low.

I’m dont a project on high blood pressure and need to find a site with good credability with the topic of high blood pressure treatments

Now it sounds liek I have to eat them. EWWW! Maybe I can find a good recipe that can fix them. Or mix beat juice with another juice. I’m going to start eating my oatmeat again , maybe daily.

I have no insurance and can’t afford the crazy money pit of doctors and perscriptions anymore. there must be a way for me to manage my hypertension and anxiety myself.
I am not over weight and exercise regularly. I am 42 years old and have always been in good physical condition. I don’t eat alot of salt at all.
I know about exercise and diet. Again, does anyone know of a homeopathic treatment?

My blood pressure is been going up really bad. My last measurement was 170/112. It does not go down. My blood pressure was good until i began taking Lisinopril from Norvasc. Can anyone tell me was is the best option on treating blood pressure.
