Btw she takes blood pressure medicine and cholesterol medicine.

i am 31 with bad circulation, freezing feet all the time, i have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and am on tablets from the doctor, i found a herbal remedy, gingko, garlic, cayenne that reduces blood pressure, cholesterol and helps with circulation, so i brought it and used it, on the second day my feet started tingeling and feeling like they are going to cramp up, and it didnt stop for 2 days, ive stopped taking the should this happen?

Really confusing MATH word problem??? PPLZ HELP!?

In 1844 the French scientist J.L. Poiseuille found that at which a fluid such as blood flows through small tubes such as arteries and veins varies directly with the product of the pressure acting on the fluid and the fourth power of the radius of the tube. Assume that you have an artery 0.2 centimeters in radius through which blood flows at 400 cubic millimeters per second when acted upon by the normal pressure of 100 units.

A. Write the particular equation expressing flow rate in terms of pressure and radius

B. If the radius of the artery were reduced by 20% (to 0.16 cm) due to the build-up of cholesterol, what flow rate would be produced be the normal blood pressure of 100 units?

C. If the heart pumped hard enough to restore the flow rate of 400 cubic millimeters per second for the 0.16 cm artery, what would the blood pressure be?

D. Describe the effects on circulation rate and blood pressure of a relatively small buildup of cholesterol in the arteries.

I’ve tried just about all the usual remedies – good night’s sleep, exercise, vitamins, I eat healthy, I don’t take any meds, I’m not pregnant. It could be something like chronic fatigue, but I feel like the chemicals in my body just aren’t balanced. Sometimes I even get dizzy and uncoordinated. Does anyone know of any conditions, especially related to endocrine imbalances, that I could look into or talk to my doctor about. I can barely sit here and type! I’ve been tested for mono, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, cholesterol. I just don’t know what to do to make it stop!!!

I am a male of 47 years old, slim and no smoker and no drink alcohol, however I do have cholesterol and high blood pressure. I am taking LIPITOR 20mg tablets but I noticed it makes me fart which is quite embarrassing. The fact that I am eating more salad to lessen the cholesterol may also contribute to my winds but certainly the farting got worse since taking the Lipitor. Is there any home remedy to help cholesterol in the body? Thanks very much

I am a staunch homeopathy remedy follower. Can someone guide me about the right remedy for epigastric reflux at the age of 66 years, No other ailments at all. No diabetes, no Blood pressure no Cholesterol at all.

Im 27 yrs old and not over weight! Recently my dr diagnosis me with prehypertension I must admit before nthis my eating habits were poor but ever since that day I completely changed my diet and started exercising a little! I purchased a blood pressure monitor so I check mu bp several times aday jst to make sure it doesn’t get to high! I noticed that sometimes when i’m just sitting and I check my bp it becomes slightly elevated but for for the most part it doesn’t rise that often ( not that I knw of). My mom is hypertensive but i’m not claiming that on my life just because she has it! Any natural remedies that work? My cholesterol levels are fine!

In order to reduce blood pressure, what is a practical and achievable low-sodium goal?

If someone maintains that level of salt consumption, at what rate will the blood pressure drop? 5nM per month?

Are cholesterol controls or ACE inhibitors effective? Again, over what period of time should they be used to make measurable change?

Are there herbs or other remedies? It seems that people who regularly eat chilis have fewer blood pressure problems.

Throughout most of my adult life, I have had "palpitations". I had EKGs and even wore a holter monitor about 14 years ago. Doctors just sort of ignored it. A few weeks ago, during a routine colonoscopy, the LBBB was discovered. I then had an EKG, ECHO and Stress test that indicated ischemia. Cardiologist recommended a cardiac cath which was done on Monday. But while in the hospital on monitor, I went into A-Fib. So, for the first time, the "palpitations" I have had several times a year were recorded and diagnosed as A-FIB. The cath was clear, no blockages in the arteries. I was sent home on Lopressor and baby aspirin. I do not have high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Now I am having multiple A Fibs a day and feel light headed. Can I stop taking the Lopressor? Is there another drug that will prevent it? Thanks for listening!!!

I am considering getting a life insurance policy through State Farm where they have different rates depending on the results of a physical that must be performed. The agent is not able to tell me but I would like to know what the criteria is for qualifying for the preferred and super preferred rates.

BMI? (body mass index)
blood pressure?
cholesterol level?

My objective is to find out if I qualify now and if not but am close I could work on improving my health over the next few months through diet and exercise.

I realize that the criteria will vary based on age, sex, height, etc. but there must be some table, chart or formula they use to determine what rate you qualify for.

I recently went to my doctor and was diagnosed with blood pressure and high/bad cholesterol levels. He also advised me that if I didn’t do anything about it, my heart would severely get worse. Now I know what you must be thinking…"Some fat guy with a poor diet and exercises very little, if any at all." This could not be farther from the truth. I am barley in my 30’s, 74" tall, and weigh 210 pounds. My doctor prescribed medication for both the blood pressure and cholesterol; however he told me that it was ok to take OTC vitamins to help.

My question to you all is this: "Am I taking too much of the vitamins below?" This is what I am currently taking:

Morning time / 6:00am
Fish Oil 2400 mg
Vitamin D 1000 i.u.
Super B-Complex (1 tablet)

Night time / 6:00pm
Fish Oil 2400 mg
Vitamin D 1000 i.u.
Super B-Complex (1 tablet)
"One a day" Men’s Health Formula, vitamin (1 tablet)

I am currently pondering the idea of adding a low dose of Niacin into the regiment. Maybe 100mg a day and night…that is if I can withstand the flush effect.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL, SO MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED CADUET. I TOOK THIS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND COMPLAINED ABOUT SORE MUSSLES AND FATIGUE. I WENT BACK AND WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TAKING THE MEDICATION. I WAS AT A POINT I COULDNT GET OUT OF BED. I LOST MY 6 FIGURE JOB AND NOW UNEMPLOYED. MY NEW DOCTOR SAYS I HAVE THIS DECEASE FROM THE MEDS. NOW WHAT DO I DO? IS THIS DANGEROUS? CAN THIS BE CURED? I CAN’T EVEN WALK THE DOG NOW I’M IN PAIN.

my eyes are always red!!! i’ve tried everything, clear eyes, visine etc and it works for a couple hours and my eyes go back to red!!! is there something that causes eyes being red?? are some people just naturally like that?? please don’t tell me to use eye drops because i want a permanent cure for this!! all eyedrops do is solve the problem for a few hours!!!! could it be that i have high blood pressure or cholesterol??

Could anyone here shares their experience on boiled neem leaves as a means of curing sickness, as tonic drink, or as part of their lives without any side effect on their body.

I have been taking a cup of fresh Neem boiled leaves here to treat my hypertension for two months every night. It lowered my cholesterol and dropped my high blood pressure to 130/90 from 150/100. Since I have no actual and informations or advice from the medical expert, I am afraid with long lasting use will affect my vital organs. I hope I can hear someone to share their experience as a validation of the vitality of the herbal. Thank you

Okay, my Dad went for a physical recently because we KNEW something was wrong (I won’t go through the details). They found out that he was passing 7 blood cells through his urine, and that wasn’t normal there (so they said), and now he is passing 20 blood cells. Okay, I know this isn’t normal, but I was wondering what causing this and why isn’t it normal? I want to understand what is wrong with my Dad because I’m not getting any of this. I overheard him talking to his mom and dad and I obviously wasn’t suppose to know, but unfortunately, I do, and I’ve been worried sick! They’re not SURE if he has cancer, cause they’re still running tests, but still, they think there is a high possibility he has prostate cancer. It’s so scary to think about this – but he has been improving some, I can tell. Whatever it is, there is a cure I know, but my Dad suffers from high blood pressure as well as high Cholesterol, and takes pill for both. Could high Cholesterol have caused this at all? High Cholesterol and heart problems unfortunately run in my family, but we’ve never had a record of any type of cancer or anything like that.

But anyways, here are my Q’s:
1. WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS?
2. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP (CAN I HELP)?
3. HOW EASILY CAN THIS BE CURED?
**4. WHY IS IT TAKING THEM SO LONG TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?? They’re constantly running test after test and I would this by now that they would have at least found out something!
5. HOW CAN I HELP MYSELF? I’VE BEEN VERY STRESSED OVER SCHOOL LATELY, BUT NOW THIS – I CAN BARELY MANAGE IT ALL! IF MY DAD DOES HAVE CANCER, I DON’T THINK I COULD TAKE IT. IT DOESN’T SEEM POSSIBLE.

Please no rude comments, please understand I am going through some hard times ride now, and all I’m wanting are some reasonable answers to my questions. Thanks so much to anyone who does answer. =)

My friend (female, age 54), when she gets on a treadmill or elliptical trainer etc) has her heart rate very quickly go up to a rather high percentage of her maximum heart rate. According to the formula of 220 – AGE = MAX HEART RATE, her heart should not ever go faster than 166. Her heart rate routinely gets up around 160 and it gets up there very quickly with not a lot of effort. Her blood pressure is usually fairly low, but she does have high cholesterol and is taking meds for that as well as some thyroid medication. Should I be worried about her?

I just found out I have early signs of retinopathy in my eye due to likely blood pressure he said.

It averages 165 over 85 or a little up and down from that,

Also had high cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar problems

also will anything reduce plaque on one’s arteries ans strength the blood vessels or capillaries..

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?

My mom has essential high blood pressure sometimes reaching over the 200/160 mark. As her blood pressure has been high for a while she has an enlarged right ventricle which will and is leading to CHF. Her breathing is already heavy. Her doctor has given her Betaloc, Plendil, Inhibace, Dosan, Cartia a blood thinner, Lipex for high cholesterol and Quinine for night cramps. She’s in her early 70’s and she complains of head aches, extreme fatigue and loss of energy. She has increasing dark circles around her eyes as if she hasn’t slept in months with shortness of breath like she’s gasping for air. I would like her to try natural remedies because these synthetic drugs don’t appear to be doing much for her overall health. Can anyone advise some really good and effective natural remedies to treat both high blood pressure and CHF? I know Celery is good for lowering blood pressure.

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.

i am suffering hight blood pressure n cholesterol, pl suggest any good remedy in homeopathy.

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!

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.

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.

My husband just got his blood pressure back down to the normal rate. Before when his pressure was high he had no feelings for sex. Now, he just checked his BP and it is normal and he seems less tense. He is eatting more foods with less sodium and cholesterol. Since his bp is now normal, does that increase the sperm count?

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.
Red Yeast Rice treats cholesterol, not high blood pressure.

I mean to ask how do we find out if one is suffering from cholesterol, diabetes and blood pressure without checking blood samples?

I would like to be on a good diet for IBS and High Blood pressure and high Cholesterol.Can you help me eat the right things,for my health conditions.HeLLLpPPP!!!

Just recently after seeing the doctor I find out my cholesterol and blood pressure is very high. I have to take medicine and exercise and watch what I eat. I have watch those Nutricious labels and salt in-take. Your advise is most appreciated and web sites to find good affordable nutricious food recipes

My mother just had a stroke, and she is a diabetic, the stroke was caused from high blood pressure/cholesterol….now she’s home and has already asked to speak with a dietician but is unable to get in for a week, where can i find a list of foods that she should avoid, and foods that she can eat?? any good websites for this particular diet?
