High blood pressuer 160/100

[Guest guest]

I went to the doctors today and my blood pressuer was 160/100. He did a

EKG in the office and said my heart was beating to fast and enlarged so

he wants me to get an ultra sound on it. He said to take (1) fish oil

1,000 mg and (1) 81 mg aspirin a day. I heard COQ10 is good for that

and I bought 100 mg tabs and I am going to add that 1 x a day. How long

will it take to lower the pressure. I have a appt. in 3 weeks and I

really dont want to take METOPROLOL SUCC ER 25 mg. I am hoping this

works.

Thanks

I've heard wonderful things on the Doctor Greens supplements in which there

are two (used in conjunction) that can reduce blood pressure. google them to

find more details.

Have you tried acupuncture? It is a very effective way to reduce high blood

pressure.

Natural Remedies for High Blood Pressure

Lifestyle changes and natural remedies may help to control high

blood pressure, but your doctor may also recommend medication to lower

high blood pressure. It is important to work with your doctor, because untreated

high blood pressure may damage organs in the body and increase the risk of heart

attack, stroke, brain hemorrhage, kidney disease, and vision loss. See a drawing

of a hypertensive heart.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)There is some evidence that the supplement CoQ10 may help to

reduce high blood pressure.

 

A

12 week double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 83 people with

systolic hypertension examined the effect of CoQ10 supplements (60 mg

twice daily). After the 12 weeks, there was a mean reduction in

systolic blood pressure of 17.8 mm Hg in the Coq10-treated group.

 

Another

study conducted at the University of Western Australia looked at the

effect of CoQ10 on blood pressure and glycemic control in 74 people

with type 2 diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned to receive

either 100mg CoQ10 twice daily, 200mg of the drug fenfibrate, both, or

neither for 12 weeks.

 

CoQ10 significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood

pressure(mean reduction 6.1 mm Hg and 2.9 mm Hg respectively). There

was also a reduction in HbA1C, a marker for long-term glycemic control.

To learn more about CoQ10, read the Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) fact sheet.

 

 

GarlicIn a meta-analysis of seven

randomized controlled trials of garlic supplements, three trials showed

a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure and four in

diastolic blood pressure. Researchers concluded that garlic powder

supplement may be of clinical use in patients with mild high blood

pressure.

 

 

Garlic supplements should only be used under the supervision of a

qualified health practitioner. Garlic can thin the blood (reduce the

ability of blood to clot) similar to aspirin. Garlic may interact with

many drugs and supplements such as the prescription " blood-thinners "

drugs such as Coumadin (warfarin) or Trental (pentoxifylline), aspirin,

vitamin E, gingko. It is usually recommended that people taking garlic

stop in the weeks before and after any type of surgery.

 

 

 

To learn more about garlic, go to the articles about garlic.

 

HawthornThe herb hawthorn is often used by traditional herbal practitioners for

high blood pressure.

 

 

 

In a randomized controlled trial conducted by researchers in

Reading, UK, 79 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to

receive either 1200 mg of hawthorn extract a day or placebo for 16

weeks. Medication for high blood pressure was used by 71% of the

patients.

 

At the end of the 16 weeks, patients taking the hawthorn supplement

had a significant reduction in mean diastolic blood pressure (2.6 mm

Hg). No herb-drug interactions were reported.

 

Fish oilPreliminary studies suggest

that fish oil may have a modest effect on high blood pressure. Although

fish oil supplements often contain both DHA (docohexaenoic acid) and

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), there is some evidence that DHA is the

ingredient that lowers high blood pressure. Learn more about fish oil.

 

 

 

Folic acidFolate is a B vitamin

necessary for formation of red blood cells. It may help to lower high

blood pressure in some people, possibly by reducing elevated

homocysteine levels.

 

 

 

One small study of 24 cigarette smokers found that four weeks of

folic acid supplementation significantly lowered blood pressure. Learn

more about folic acid.
