One thing that she noticed resently is if >she eats when she feels the pressure it goes away. Possibly this is the age that malfunctions begin to show up. I am 62 and can relate to a few slight changes in body function and changes from the usual feeling great 100% of the time, to a very infrequent feeling that is less than 100%. Two key facts in your message got my attention. The age factor, and the fact that eating can help the problem. It sounds like the exact same thing I have experienced a few times. I suspect a blood electrolyte or blood chemistry problem that effects oxygen transfer and heart function. Some important facts you did not mention relates to the time interval this happens after the last meal. Of course the last foods eaten during the previous 24 hours, and the timing of these meals may offer suggestions for change or elimination of foods, of analysis of the combination of foods. First, anyone who is 62 years old does not have the enzyme and HCL production that they did when age 52 or age 42. Considering that nothing stresses the body ( especially an old one ) as much as eating a full meal of cooked food, it is time for change on the foods eaten and the size of the meals. Five to Seven small meals per day will likely help. The combination of foods eaten needs to be carefully monitored. One thing that is sure to help would be to take a packet of Emergen-C between the meals, two or three times per day. Another product that would offer a boost to blood electrolytes, which I use 3 to 5 times per day is the SuperGram III Timed release C which has a number of other valuable ingredients. Finally..... Eating an ounce or two of good fresh trailmix instead of the gosh awful cooked food meals is sure to help anything that ails anyone. All these ideas are based on a digestive system that is still functioning well enough to accept these ideas without problems. It works for me. I hate to keep saying it, but the only times I have felt bad within the last several years is after eating a full meal of cooked food.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 ---Good Evening, I have a suggestion. Has she ever considered changing to an all- organic diet. It's quite possible that what she's experiencing could be an allergic reaction to the residues in the fruits and veggies. Geneticially engineered foods especially gmo produce can be the root cause of much indigestion not to mention chest pain. Add to that the irradiation process they undergo, and when we stop to think of what's in some of those inorganic fruits and vegetables it can be very disconcerting. Ipriflavone is excellent for reversing osteoporosis and is helpful for rebuilding brittle bone. Ipriflavone can be found in most vitamin outlets or HFS's. I might add also that Splenda and/or Sucralose are simply not healthy sweeteners. There are numerous articles to this effect on the web. This splenda has numerous health consequences. Any cola drinks at all will eventually lead to more problems with her osteoporosis. Coke is high in phosphoric acid which inevitably leaches calcium out of bones. She needs more boron and vitamin D in her diet, not to mention magnesium and potassium also. Calcium frequently cannot be utilized in the absence of enough vitamin D and boron. An abundance of calcium sometimes only contributes to already existing problems if there's a lack of minerals present! Last year my oldest son was diagnosed with hiatal hernia. This condition has similar symptoms to the ones you've described. He has found relief using a brand of herbal licorice that can only be obtained in food stores. Licorice is helpful for numerous digestive problems, apparently however if she has even a mild case of high blood pressure she should not use this herb.(licorice) JoAnn Guest mrsjoguest Friendsforhealthnaturally http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/classic_tan.html http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/AIM.html In Gettingwell , " aprilveronica <danson@a...> " <danson@a...> wrote: > My mom is 62 years old.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 ---Not a listed side effect of glyburide? The pill book mentions that this drug is linked to " fatal heart attack " !!!!! Much, much worse in my estimation!!
