I’ve had constant headaches for over a year now. I tried aspirin and tylenol and nothing is helping. I tried some home remedies but they didn’t work either. Could someone please tell me what is wronmg with me. I just want to know so I can get rid of these unbearable headaches. It’s hard for me to concentrate on anything. Sometimes when I smoke a cigarette it gets worse and my whole body starts to tingling and go numb. I also have high blood pressure. Please someone help me out.

My 71 yr old dad suffered bleeding stroke in 2002. I’m unsure of which blood press. med he was put on, and he was put on aspirin as well. At a family reunion yesterday, he confided to my sister that he just had a dizzy spell and has been getting them at home. My sister took his blood pressure, 136/115, and was immediately concerned. Dad divulged that he had stopped taking his blood pressure med and cancelled his last scheduled doc’s appt, in lieu of the self-medicating regimen my mother has him on with herbal and natural remedies. Mother is rather controlling–could she be in any legal trouble if Dad has a medical emergency or worse as a result of her natural and herbal remedies replacing doctor’s prescribed meds? My folks and sisters all live in the same area–the reunion took place 9 hrs away and I was already on the way home when this revelation took place.

Hello All!

I am 32 years and I have hypertension. last year I weaned myself off of the prescription Lisonopril. I was recommended to take 20 mg of this medication however I had a severe chronic cough allergic reaction. I have been taking the following remedies to help:

1. 1000 mg of Garlic Pills;
2. Coenzyme Q 10 50 mg X 3 times per day;
3. Low Dosage Aspirin 81 mg X 3 times per day;
4. Udo’s Choice (Oil) blend 2 pills X 3 times per day:

Still my pressure is high as of now 138 over 83. I would like to get it a lot lower. Anyone have a recommendation as I am trying to do htis naturally?

A few years ago I started taking a ‘triple stack’ – ephedrine, aspirin, and caffeine – before working out to boost my energy, and it seemed to work very well (the old versions of Metabolife and Hydroxycut had a similar formula).

Suffering from moderate depression, I also found that when I take this combination, it really made me feel much better! I have a definite change in feeling throughout the day and able to have a somewhat normal outlook on things when I take this combination. Not only is my energy level up, but I have much more positive thoughts and generally feel much better.

I am not taking any antidepressants, but I do take this combination several times a week to get me through the day. Is this safe? Better or worse than taking a prescribed antidepressant? Any long-term dangerous effects? I do not have high blood pressure or any other health problems.

Besides aspirin, do you know of any herbs or anything else I can use to keep my blood pressure lower? I don’t have a high blood pressure problem, but when I’m nervous my heart starts pounding to a ridiculous extent. So I’d appreciate any recommendations

Thank you for your help.

I’m going in for a medical exam to qualify for a scholarship and part of that includes a blood pressure check. The exam is in 4 days. Right now my blood pressure averages about 131/83. I need to get it to 120/80 or lower. I know taking aspirin and diuretics can help, but are there any other ways to lower blood pressure quickly that you might know of?
