Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi ! Yes I have high BP and I take what you are taking and 2 more pills for it, Sometimes you have to get the meds adjusted so if your not getting the results you need then you need to tell you doctor. When I first was dx I kept a log 2 x's a day then would take to the doctor and he would read it and determine whether should we do something else.. Remember ,this is some serious stuff .. I never had a stroke but did come close several times.. Gentle hugs,Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I think it means that your aldosterone is low. My bottom number was even as low as 44 at the docs office and they weren't concerned. Anyway, getting on florinef has helped it come up to the high 60's and I no longer have to get up every night to use the bathroom. I also did the " flashlight test " on myself and discovered that my pupils originally, before florinef, did not stay small, but fluctuated. Now, they stay small, like normal peoples. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/adrenal-info/ FWIW, Deb in MI > > what does it mean when the second number is lower than 60, at times a lot lower? > > > > Â > Normal BP is 90-120 over 60-80. > Activity raises BP. > Prior to CFS I have very low BP.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 The upper number measures the pressure in your heart & veins while the heart is pumping and the lower number measures the pressure while the heart is at rest. > > If I am wrong someone please correct me.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 In this case it has to be the essential oil to get the effect. Below is a good website for quality oils. {Moderator: Removed link to commercial site. Please back-channel for link} > > Hi Carla. > Thanks for your answer. I will try your advise and if it helps that would be great help. Today I checked for essential oil of tarragon but I could not find it where I live. I found dried leaves. is its Latin name Artemisia dracunculus? if that is correct can I sniff dried leaves?would it help? or can I drink it boiled or brewed infusion of it? how many times a day? > thanks > nil > BP > > > Normal BP is 90-120 over 60-80. > Activity raises BP. > Prior to CFS I have very low BP.
