I could ask hundreds of questions about treatment (and sometimes non-treatment) that this person is receiving at repeated hospital stays and could explain at length the many changes I see when a particular medication is working, and others are not. But what amazes me_and this has happened in two different states in the US, is that doctors just expect her to die, and since she’s not dying yet they just keep on telling me she’s on end stage of COPD and CHF. They extubate her apparently much too soon, very quickly remove meds that help her be much more stabilized and even though she very much wants to live, while at home and feeling lack of oxygen and/or other symptoms asks to be taken to hospital, while there is interested in all treatments, etc., with very caring family members present and asking all pertinent quesitons to medical staff, still doctors told me this days ago upon her last hospital discharge: "You know she’s on end stage, next time they she comes into hospital they might not intubate her". I then ask, "Why have different doctors been telling mostly the same for past 3 1/2 years? What am I suppose to do, not bring her?

Their answer "There’s hospice that can come to the house?" I ask if hospice would be intubating her or able to provide tracheastomy. "No" is the answer. And I repeat that at home she does have (as they all know) all the care from four members of family 24 hrs a day. That I take her to hospital for her health problems.

Not to make a newspaper out of this_and leaving out the disheartening opinions from so many doctors, nurses, and even respiratory therapists_I will say that it has been a constant agony for this family to make sure this person lives, mainly due to misdiagnosis at first, then simply negligence in appropriate care from other doctors, and mostly the unwillingness to simply understand it is NOT ONLY the family who wants her to live, but she herself. They know this because her mind is perfectly well for her age and illnessess, and they can see how she wants to be if not cured, made well enough to go back home.

To make matters worse and add salt to the injury, upon her release days ago, when they removed apparently what they call a line from part between thigh and abdomen there was considerable bleeding accroding to family and herself. Nurse didn’t really telll me whole story as I phoned in to find out why she was still there, even when ambulance had gone over to pick her up.

PLEASE, let me know if you know what’s going on here? I appreciate any help. She suffers from COPD, CHF, attrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and appears to have something wrong with adrenal glands.
Thank you for two answers so far. JESSICA, I am the primary person listed with ALL her doctors and hospital personnel. I had just spent couple of hours at that hospital, speaking precisely with THAT NURSE before I left for home to get everything ready for her return!!!!!

Wednesday February 9th late at night I started to feel bad back pain. I went to bed thinking it was just back pain nothing else.

* I had not done anything to my back.
* I had not lifted anything to heavy.
* I had not fallen at all
* I had not been hit at all

Thursday February 10th I woke up early morning in alot of back pain. So much back pain that:

1.) I couldnt put any pressure on my back (meaning i couldnt put my back against anything)

2.) I could not stand up straight at all (I am so bent over and cannot stand straight at all I look like a question mark or the hunch back)

3.) The pain is horrible 10 or higher! Its from my butt to my neck. Most of the pain is lower back!

4.) I was getting sick from the pain (sick as in throwing up, when I move or even when laying still)

5.) The only thing I could keep down was toast.

6.) Nothing can touch my back a tiny bit of pressure makes the pain worse!

7.) I can hardly walk due to the pain in my back and the fact im bent so much

8.) I cannot do anything on my own do to all the pain and being bent so far.

I started calling my doctors about help due to everything heres the info that they have said and tests they ran and test results:

1.) Hospital ran a pee test saying my symptoms seemed like kidney stones.
—Answer came back I do not have kidney stone, but I do have small amounts of blood in my urine (not on period)

2.) Hosptial ran a xray to make sure of kidney stones
— Answer xray came out negative for kidney stones
—- Released from hospital with medication for a possible infection.

3.) Seen my normal doctor she ran a pee test, and checked me out.
—Answer Pee test came out with just small amounts of blood in my urine.
— Answer checking me out she said she thought I had some type of infection taking over my body so she gave me pain medications to cure my infection.
**** Pain medication did not help > actually made me really sick.

4.) Seen a sports care doctor (aka back doctor) They said they could tell I was not in good shape and said it was probably just a musle spasum. But said it was obvious I am not well. They did a xray of my spine.
—- Answer, xray showed my l4 & l5 lumbar are fused together
**** Doctor said maybe that is why I’m in so much pain, they gave me pain medication and set me up for an mri to see if my nerves in my l4 & l5 lumbar are damanged or not.

5.) Pain medication did not help actually made me more sick

6.) February 22nd had my mri done.

7.) February 24th the doctor called and said my mri showed that my nerves are not damaged. But that my disk below my L5 is bulging.
**** They said that would be causing a little bit of the pain but not all the pain im in.
***** THey said they dont know what else is wrong and advised me to see a pain managment doctor.

8.) The doctor gave me pain medication and pain patches to wear but that is all they offered. They said when my pain goes to a 5 and im able to walk more and stand up more then ill have to go through physical therapy > but no idea when that will be.

With all that is said above,
1.) I’m still in alot of back pain
2.) I’m still unable to stand up (still bent downward!)
3.) I’m still getting sick off and on.
4.) Pain meds are not helping at all.
5.) Still unable to have anything touch my back as it adds more pain!
6.) Unable to do anything!

I’m looking for any advice, or ideas to try or even to look into! Anything would be appreciated! I’v delt with this for far to long, and cannot do anything at all! I’d like to have my life back. I’d like to find an answer or a different option to fix the pain issue so i’m able to stand up and have no pain or at least less pain! Right now doctors I’m personally seeing have thrown their hands up in the air and said they dont know and can no longer help. If you could please offer any kind of advice on what I should do or another type of doctor to look into seeing or even tell me something you think it could be so I can look up information on it or anything else I’d honestly with all my heart appreciate it! This has taken over my body, and has taken over my life. I no longer can live a normal life. I’d like to get back to normal and be able to do things again! Please…

Please! And thank you to those who offer any kind of advice or ideas or exc. Myself, and my family are trying so hard but were running out of ideas so I thought id try to get others help at this point. Ill do anything for answers. And maybe you can think of something we havnt or even my doctors havnt!

Thanks again!

I have been menstrating for about 2 weeks and I am very weak. I have gone to 2 doctors and they both said just wait it out. One wanted to give me birth control, but everytime I take it, it makes my blood pressure go up. Does anyone know of any home based remedy that might make it go off or at least help it to not be soooooo heavy?

Ive lost over 50lbs and the recruiter is sending me to MEPS. Im just alittle worried. I have what my high school doctor called white coat syndrome. I get really nervous around doctors and my blood pressure goes over the acceptable limit. When Im at home and do it myself the numbers are fine. Are there any herbal remedies that can help me with my nervousness or lower my BP so it doesn’t rise high enough to DQ me.

My feet look like they are just about to pop because of pitted edema. Doctors say it’s because of a certain blood pressure pill I am on and now I am having to take prednisone due to having severe bronchitis. I am on Lasix but it does not seem to be helping. I have been propping my feet up …not helping. Any more suggestions? I am open to any and all suggestions!!

Hello Friends!

Few years back my mom had brain stroke and doctors concluded it was because of Hypertension. She is on BP control medicine from past 20 months but from last 10 days we have stopped the medicine because we observed that her BP is always around 55(lower)/120(Upper). Please advice me on below query:

1. Is this reading really indicates low BP?
2. She sounds dull when lower value touches 50-55. What is remedy of this?
3. To increase the reading, we give plain salt in all intakes. Like, plain water, food etc. Is this process okay?
4. Please suggest what is the advisable food for mom to make it somewhere close to 75-80(lower)/150(Upper)? She sounds very agile when BP is around 70/160.
5. Please advice what is the recommended food for my mom?

I was diagonosed with high blood pressure five years ago.Took diovan for until recently. I have no insurance now, and cannot afford doctors and prescriptions.

I have a 68 year old grandmother who is suffering from high blood pressure and cholestrol . The doctors say that she has water in the lungs. At present she lives in Fiji Islands in Lautoka. Whenever she walks a little she gets very tired and sweaty ……..and also very verty hot she also starts to breath faster than ever so please could i have some remedies that might give a quick help………please

Ever since she was 12, she has been developing blue sclera, stretchy skin, chronic muscle pain, and dehydration.Her abdomen swells when under high stress
She also gets really oily skin , and has low blood pressure.
She usually gets a low heart rate like 50-60, but then it goes to 170-195 when doing any significant exercise.
She also gets headaches…but they go away if she drinks a lot of water.
Probably the most significant thing though is that she has gained a lot of weight through the years, and has been dieting.
She also seems to have a lump on the top of her mouth, and we both think it’s weird.
She has already been tested for disease’s similliar to cushing’s syndrome, but everything was negative.
Anyone recognize these symptoms?
The doctors have never been able to diagnose her correctly, and I don’t want to lose her because doctors failed to cure her in time. =(
She’s only 20 years old and she is usually in alot of pain and I don’t like seeing her in pain.

My doctors prescribes predisone & other antibiotics that make me feel worse plus I have high blood pressure so I need to try a healthy natural remedy to clear up this infection

Lately, I’ve been experiencing a headache that I’ve never had before. The top
Of my head gets very cold to the point that I have to wear a hat most times to keep it warm.

Also, my feet tingle and the bottom portion of my legs tingle too and become numb. I have been to the doctors and been tested for diabetes which I do not have. I’ve also had an MRI and they don’t find anything (Thank God for that) but the fact remains they don’t seem to see anything.

I went to a kidney doctor because my creatinine level was up to 1.7. Is has come down to 1.3 and I’m on blood pressure medication to help keep my pressure down. But the doctor said something that was interesting to me. He said that my kidney was operating 75% and it could be that it (kidney) was not getting the circulation it needed. I asked him could that be the cause of my headaches/ numbness and tingling in legs and feet? He said no but I disagree; I think they are somehow related.

I have since started drinking cayenne pepper and water to help with my circulation but can anyone give me other remedies that would be conducive to my problem because the doctors don’t seem to know (or care) what’s going on.

Is it possible for a woman to give birth without knowing she is pregnant?
I believe it is. As I have seen on the show, I didn’t know I was pregnant, many women can have vaginal bleeding and mistake that for a period. Also lots of women may not gain a lot of weight during pregnancy whether they are skinny or overweight. Then there are women who believe they are infertile and may think that the symptoms are something else. Not to mention a woman may not have symptoms or cravings or morning sickness.

I saw on TV a documentary about a woman named Nicole. She had obesity and high blood pressure and was told that she may never get pregnant because it stopped her from having periods which she did not have for 14-15 years. Nicole went on a diet and lost 30 pounds which most likely caused her to ovulate and conceive. Later Nicole began feeling symptoms such as hot flashes, cold flashes, and nausea, and sweats as well as back pain. Nicole suspected she was going through an early menopause She went to many doctors and was never able to find out what was wrong and because of her high blood pressure and obesity she and her doctors never considered that she could be pregnant. Nicole later had vaginal bleeding which she thought was a period but it did not seem normal to her. One despite feeling pain in her body, Nicole picked up her mother to drive her to the hospital to get kidney dialysis, but then she was in so much pain that her mother took her to the emergency room and left to get her dialysis. Nicole was given a test that and found out she was pregnant but was the doctors were not yet able to determine how long she was pregnant. Later Nicole felt like she needed to use the bathroom ad while on the toilet gave birth to a son. She was shocked. However, because of her high blood pressure she was in danger of pre-ecclampsia which put her in danger of seizure, coma, and death. She needed to expel her placenta to be cured. Since she gave birth to her son and his umbilical cord detached, the doctor pulled her umbilical cord and it meant that it did not move which meant that she had another baby so Nicole pushed and gave birth to a girl. Later her boyfriend and and her mother cam back and they were told what happened and they were shocked but happy. It was said that Nicole’s placenta had lots of padding and that along with the fact that Nicole assumed that she was infertile were why she didn’t know she was pregnant. Nicole’s twins were premature by 2 months and later her twin daughter tragically died.

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 was induced at 41 weeks because my blood pressure was too high (around 140/100 or something like that). I didn’t want to be induced. I wanted a completely natural childbirth and labor. But when I was a week over due and I was so impatient and had false labors several times in the last week and a half and the midwife said I needed to be induced, I agreed. Unlike apparently most induced labors, I had no pain medicine, no other interventions, and a relatively easy delivery. My baby had some health issues that he had to stay in the hospital longer for, but generally a healthy baby. His doctors really didn’t know what caused it, but said it probably was because of my blood pressure. His health issues made it very hard to breastfeed, and I ended up pumping breast milk for him because of him never really latching on properly. He is now on formula and healthy, but every time a make a bottle for him in public, I feel guilty and ashamed. Nearly all of the moms I know breastfeed only and some of them for longer than a year. I have one friend who weaned her 3 year old right about the time her second baby was born. I don’t know why I’m rambling about breastfeeding. It is like a stab in my heart, the fact that I didn’t persist like I should and I gave up. But my real question is why do I feel guilty about allowing myself to be induced…… I know my blood pressure was in a dangerous place and that I was late, but I still feel like nature failed me in that. I’m having a really bad self doubting episode right now and I’m venting it out on the internet because it’s 5am here and I have no other sounding board. Sorry…… Was induction my only choice at that stage? Or should I have insisted that my midwife allow me to have bed rest and wait and see? I’ve heard that pitocin is a nasty drug and it’s way over used. And that’s what was used on me. I have heard of a link between pitocin and autism and seen a link in my family. My brother was induced and is autistic, my nephew was induced and has slight autistic tendencies. One of the things I remember as a kid when my brother was diagnosed as autistic is that my mom blamed the pitocin on the autism. Is there a link? I’m not sure. My son is very active and social and doesn’t act anything like my brother did (according to my mom) when he was a baby, but there is still the doubt in my head.

I guess this self doubt is because I watched "The Business of Being Born" a few days ago about how dismal and intervention hungry the United States’ practices of childbirth are. It’s really scary and eye opening.

BS?

"I’ve seen a 85 year old male, with arthritis, gout, high blood pressure, pooing and peeing problems, completely change in 3 weeks of eating raw fruit. He was removed of all his meds and he began jogging at his own will."

85 years old. All of those maladies. Completely cured to the point they are taken off of all meds by their doctors, just because they ate raw fruit for 3 weeks. Then starting jogging, at 85, on top of that.

Is this biologically or scientifically possible?
People. I’m astonished by the first 3 answers. You obviously haven’t researched those maladies.
That first link is a riot! Bananas and zucchini are good for the penis because they are shaped similarly! LMAO!
sailboat–3 weeks?
Robo-It’s a quote from the V & V.

I feel so desperate…

Okay, I’ll grab my courage together and tell my story; I was abused by my bigger brother and bullied at school. This one day, I had Winter Exams, I just freaked out while I was looking in the mirror, and suddenly I saw that a little piece of my fore tooth was missing and…I became nuts…I started crying and had high blood pressure, I’ve had scared thoughts before..But this one was a blast..I thought I was going to die because of what I saw…Then I got hospitalized in a local hospital where they threw me in the isolation room and left me there for days…They said I was having a psychotic attack later…

From since then.. I never fully recovered…I was thinking weird thoughts like that there were cameras everywhere watching over me, or doctors where reading my thoughts…I got medication..And it didn’t cure my psychosis… (I was 14 years old so they couldn’t call it cure Schizophrenia yet I think)

Now, I’m 16 years old and I’m still not cured..I feel weird..I think weird, and have lots of physical pain every day…Pain in my legs, muscles, whole my body feels in pain, amplified by severe (never ending) mental problems, I always think people are staring at me on the streets and I feel very guilty…I always feel empty thoughts..And I think a lot…and I mean… A LOT.

Thus, my primary question is, how did I get in this mess and how can I get out of it :’( I feel emotional, physical and mental pain almost every day..I’ve been living like this for months now and I’m also hospitalized and the doctors don’t know what’s wrong with me, they say I have to live with, but it’s stupid..They don’t have to feel my pain every day..I’ve been thinking of suicide a lot lately, I want to be death..Not feel pain anymore…I sigh a lot and crawl myself through the day…I have to watch my proud mother seeing me suffer..**** all of this sh*t I’m going through!!!..My father doesn’t love me anymore because he thinks I’m a loser, my friends all left me…

I asked this question, because I don’t know what to do anymore, I thought I could find some relief on yahoo answers..I don’t know, this question will probably have few answers because guess what, almost no one cares about who I am or what I’m going through..Don’t take offense, I’m just suffering a lot and it’s driving me mad and crazy, please, someone help me..
Wow, I got 7 answers..Thanks a lot guys, I was desperate and was scared to ask this question at first, I don’t like to bother others with my problems, you know…Again thanks a lot to all who answered!
Boundless infinity, thanks for your answer to..I guess I have to stay strong, just hope I’ll make it through another day…Thanks for the helping answers.
Jesi, also thx for your answer.

My grandma is 77. When she was in Cambodia before living in the U.S, the pul pot(the Vet that practically destroyed Cambodia) was there. they killed my grandpa and my uncles. only her and my mom survived. now, she is very sick. everyday she says shes "really" sick. she complains everyday. shes so annoying now. she always goes in my room and starts to be nosy. my mom takes care of her everyday. more than she takes care of my family. and if you dont listen to my grandma, shell start crying and say your mean and a bad person. she is sooo selfish. she likes to play slots a lot. she has a gambling problem. A BAD ONE. The doctors cant cure her sickness. She has leg cramps, high blood pressure, and if she smells any chemicals shell get sick for almost a week. lately, shes been coming up with excuses. like now she cant sit in teh back of the car anymore because of the material on the chair and stuff. she is giving me stress everyday freaking day.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER? =[

I have been to a gyne a dermatoligest had a pap smear had blood tests. The white stuff is not a discharge it seems to be over the red spots that were itching after bleeding white shows. I am a diabetic high blood pressure and high cholestrol None of my doctors have come close to curing this problem. They all say they have seen this before wont say what it is but tell me to take meds and they never work. They ruled out std’s. I have a daughter that has the same thing she is 37 we do not live together. she has had it for 4 yrs and no dr. helps her either. After the itch is opened by scratching yes it has a smell. it bleeds then the white forms over.

I know it was recalled around last May, but I’m pretty sure they came out with a different formula that is safer (still not FDA approved.) If they didn’t, are stores still allowed to sell it even if it’s been recalled? Does anyone know of negatives or bad sad effects from using it? I use it occasionally, and it gives me more energy when i workout, decreases my appetite, and speeds up my metabolism, but I had a doctors appointment on a day I took two pills (the maximum in a day they recommend if 4, I never take that many) and my blood pressure was abnormally high, and i never have had that issue before. It was definitely high due to the hydroxycut but I’m wondering if this is a big enough issue to stop taking it, because i definitely notice benefits from it.

I’m generalizing of course.
Do doctors want to cure you or give you meds to take care of the symptoms (only) and have you come back every few months?
One of my employees (young fellow) has high blood pressure and other health issues. The doctor gave him BP pills. Yes, his BP is now lower. Did the doctor ask him about his lifestyle, diet, weight, smoking? And MAYBE he could lower his BP by changing these bad habits? No, he pulled out the prescription pad. It was a quick fix.
Now, the poor boy had gout probably related to the BP meds, so the doctor gave him pills for that!

In the meantime, my insurance premiums keep rising which affects everyone.

Is this job security for the medical profession? Is alternative medical care a better choice?

-frequent nosebleeds
-frequent painful headaches
-random loss of ability to walk properly in one leg (happened once, during a hard day’s work, accompanied by passing out for a few seconds [happened 2 months ago])

-job: heavy lifting, including furniture, and 30-50lb bags of grout.

-went to hospital for food poisoning, and when cured, still had extremely high blood pressure, and also a heart rate of 150 bpm which continued at about 105bpm at resting state a day later.

-19 year old male, 6 feet tall, approx. 170-180lbs, has stress problems relating to life and work.

-internet links to valid sites are appreciated, thx.

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.

Her blood pressure is so bad, she’s blown out the blood vessels in her eyes twice in the last year. I think her doctors are quacks, they just keep giving her more pills to take and now she is having kidney problems from all the drugs. I am looking for some natural remedies that might help.

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"…

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.

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.

My friend is in hospital with all of the above. How much of a chance does he have? His collesterol is through the roof, Sugar is 400, pressure high, pancreas and Gall bladder swollen. He is in extreme pain. The doctors have thus far done MRI, EKG, Cat Scan. He is in a hospital in Maryland USA.

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

went to the doctors today to see about my pleurisy which i dont have …have really hig blood pressure for my age so he prescribed tramadon and prednisone for my lung inflamation is this safe ?

I already know that a high fiber, low sodium, and low fat diet lowers your blood pressure. DUH. What I can’t seem to find is the reasons these things are true. I’m writing a paper on blood pressure and I’ve found so many great sources, but not one of them tells me the actual physiological reasons that this type of diet lowers blood pressure. If anyone could point me to some sources on this I would really appreciate it. Any doctors out there??? : )

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?
