Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Greetings I have been reading the posts avidly, and appreciate the wisdom and information offered, in this interesting and knowledgable group. I have a specific question and I am looking forward to your responses. Why dose ones blood presure bounce up and down? Example:15 days ago 166/101 10 days ago 103/77 5 days ago 120/83 3 days ago 128/99 2 days ago 104/79 yesterday 112/79 today 176/106 !!! I check the blood presure daily, since a diagnosis of hypertention several months ago. My question is why would there be so drastic a variation? More days than not the numbers are perfectly exceptable, and then a spike. Though it comes right back down, this does concern me. Are there any others that find this funny up and down thing? I am not taking any medication, and I am being careful with diet, sugar and salt. Does anyone have any other information or ideas? I try to look up things on the " web " , so links would be helpful too. So far I haven't found any mention of such highs and lows. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 My experince with blood pressure has been this, I generally have normal to low BP and one day I went for my yearly 'Gyno' visit and I had been upset about something that morning and my BP was much higher than normal! I would think your BP would fluctuate with the stress in your everyday life?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Thank You JMHO Stress could be a factor. I am surprised at such extreme variations. I don't like the doctor's office either. Now I'm wondering if the doctor was the cause of the hypertention in the first place! I will monitor the activities on days the BP is high. Should I be taking other precautions because of the spikes? The greatest share of the time the numbers are quite good. Thanks for your kind suggestion.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 > >Hi! When exactly are you taking your blood pressure readings? Sometimes it is the time of day, like when you first get up, after any exercise, meals, etc. There can be hidden things in foods that can hurt if you are not careful. I am sure your doctor has told you what not to eat. Are you taking any herbal supplements for your blood pressure? Jen the Tiger > Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: > 1.

(see-saw effect) My organic raw diet is another controlling factor ....and water consumption...I drink at least a gallon a day ....no meat....no dairy (these choices contributed to my "high" blood pressure) The "ultimate temple" a clean body without blockage/debris/parasites/mucoid/plaque et al is the key to this "silent killer"....and to any dis-ease. I decided to stop playing "Russian Roulette" with my blood pressure...and my health...it's too risky at my age.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Thank You Jen I most usually check before noon. On mornings when it is very high I check again later in the day. Is BP normaly high first thing in the maorning after a good nights rest? That seems odd. No caffine, limeted salt and sugar, less red meat; were the doctors suggestions, things I knew already. I use crushed garlic and parsely, celery, dandilion, vinegar and honey. I use stevia in my tea, and have begun using flax seed oil. I am drinking more water and have upped calcium and vitamin C. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I grow a large vegatable and fruit garden with several herb gardens. I wildcraft, here in Michigan, and use many wild plants and herbs. I am interested in controling this without professional medication. Thank You Jen. Susu herbal remedies , jenthetiger@p... wrote: > > >Hi! > When exactly are you taking your blood pressure readings?
