Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 If you have no doctor then " who " did your BP reading?... Anyhow...there are many vitamins/herbal remedies that help reduce BP: Garlic, Flax seed oil supplements, eliminate red meats, caffiene and alcohol, if overweight losing just 5-10 lbs will help significantly, reduce your salt intake, try the DASH Diet... increase aerobic exercise of some kind for 20 min. or so four times weekly (providing there are no other health issues).... There are a number of things to do that are beneficial...but if the reading you mention is accurate...make sure you go to a Dr. if that doesn't change...that's very high. One isolated reading is never considered accurate...a few readings at different times of the day...for a few consecutive days will give you a better idea...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 yes, exercise, eating celery can help. also, BP can vary depending on activity, drinking coffee, etc. So, u must check it several times during the day to get an accurate reading. ~andy --- On Fri, 1/9/09, Birdwalk <birdwalk wrote: Birdwalk <birdwalk BP help Friday, January 9, 2009, 2:41 PM any herbal / alternatives to help lower BP last few days to weeks as have not checked it I've gone from my normal 100/60 give or take 10 pts to 160 /100 give or take 10 pts I am scared and have no doctor - don't trust them anyway....

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I have a few BP cuffs that have been checked against the doctors before she decided I wasn't spending enough and sent me the drop dead find another doctor letter. not much into red meats - not a drinker and minimal caffeine in tea perhaps once a week. I had run out of garlic but do take flax - fish oil = vit B's - little salt but I have had a salt craving the past few weeks and had added some to foods not normally using salt. coincides with being out of garlic.... had not thought of that before - I thank you. weight is a problem - I am buying a small pool to put in the greenhouse and HOPE to get some exercise that way.... I just posted again for a similar question on my husband. his BP has gone nuts - he can see a VA doc being a disabled vet and we have an appointment soon. his BP scares me even more since he had a coiled aneurysm that was done recently and will be monitored forever. high BP is his biggest risk factor. thanks for any help lucile > If you have no doctor then " who " did your BP reading?... > Anyhow...there are many vitamins/herbal remedies that help reduce BP: > Garlic, Flax seed oil supplements, eliminate red meats, caffiene and alcohol, if overweight losing just 5-10 lbs will help significantly, reduce your salt intake, try the DASH Diet..
