Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 Peggy, Many women I have known have low pressures like yours. Bend over for a minute & rise rapidly. If you don't get real dizzy or black out, then your low pressure is probably not a problem. If you get dizzy when you rise fast, then the low pressure is a problem. We are all snowflakes, no two alike. A norm is only the midpoint between both extremes of readings people had. jim Tim & /or Peggy Walters wrote: > > I took my blood pressure while at the grocery store today. It was 96/56.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 Hi Peggy I've only just joined this group, as well as a few others, mainly the Beck-n-Stuff group, but I saw your post and felt that I should offer my experiences here in case they're of any use to you. Yes, 96/56 is low despite my agreeance with Jim's reply about everyone being snowflakes! (nicely put Jim) :-) I think it is a problem in CFS because both are symptoms of adrenal dysfunction. I have these problems myself and have seen one of the UK's leading endocrine specialists about it - mainly as I needed prescriptions for the solutions - I'd already worked the problem out myself! I highly recommend you check out this document on his website www.foxleylaneclinic.co.uk/ME_4.htm that will tell you more. You can test your adrenal functioning by taking your BP whilst sitting. Then, after letting the blood flow return to normal in your arm, stand up and immediately take your BP again. The BP should obviously rise but in cases of adrenal insufficiency it will drop. Hence, the dizzy reaction mentioned by Jim! Looking at your pressure I would guess that you were standing when you had it taken in the store ? I'm not sure the parasite cleanse is related, especially as you've recognised the problem previously. Having said that - if it is an adrenal problem then the parasite cleanse, with it's additional stress on your body, would obviously worsen matters. If it is an adrenal problem then there are all manner of things you could do for it depending on your own views and wishes. The problem is that the adrenal gland is not producing corticosteroids. One solution is to take supposedly safe LOW DOSE hydrocortisone. Also, maybe natural thyroid medication is needed as it's often related. Personally, i started on these despite my own views against any kind of medications. They did start to get my BP back to normal and many symptoms were improving but I decided to try to get more to the route of the problem myself. Firstly, i've taken a look at diet (very important) and removed, totally, any stimulators including caffeine, alcohol and most importantly SUGAR. I mean ALL FORMS of man-made sugar too! I'd recommend you read SUGAR BLUES by Duffy. Obviously, make sure your diet is providing all of the necessary macro and micro nutrients your body needs to function properly too. My own views on diet, and believe me over the years I've read, studied, practiced and experienced them all, but my own views are now based on the workings of Weston A. Price. Check out the website of the Weston A. Price Foundation for more information at www.westonaprice.org. I'm working on getting my liver and kidneys working properly at the moment by following the Hulda cleanses. Cleansing the kidney's in particular could well get the adrenals (which sit on top of the kidney's) working again. So far I've removed 700 bile-green gallstones from my liver!!! When you understand the importance of appropriate bile release for proper absorption of fatty acids, minerals and fat-soluable vitamins like A, this takes on great significance!! There is also plenty of information around on different types of herbs and similar that provide useful adrenal support. Personally, I think it's more important to get the aspects I've already mentioned dealt with though instead of just relying on support programmes. I appreciate their support attributes may be of use meanwhile, however. I'm then going to be looking at the Rife/Beck type machines and protocols that I've been reading about. Anyway, hope some of that is of use to you. Good luck and best wishes blood pressure I took my blood pressure while at the grocery store today. It was 96/56.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hi Gail; I've got several clients off their blood pressure and cholesterol drugs. Here are three really good nutritional supplements that reduce blood pressure. Blood pressure can be reduced through vasodilation. This is of particular interest to diabetics, and to people with atherosclerosis and such. Rather than using a vasodilating drug, you can use Noni. It has hundreds of other attributes due to increased nitric oxide it produces. Powdered leaves are about five times more potent than powdered juice, and Noni extract is of course many times more potent than that. http://ok.enliveninternational.com Here's the science: http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/enliven_noni.html Reducing blood glucose tends to reduce blood pressure. Besides carb restriction, inulin, a prebiotic does that. Here's the science: http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/inulin_prebiotic_probiotic.html Look into the comprehensive review for that information and more references. Using amino acids (Somalife, which I sell) and taking an antioxidant program. The blood pressure is reduced in this case by restoring resilience to the artery walls, and also by repairing organs like the kidney, which can request more blood pressure due to accumulated damage. http://asomaworld.net/duncancrow/ Here's the science: http://members.shaw.ca/patriciagilbert/ Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hi - yes I had extreme high blood pressure - I went into surgery with a BP of 280 /230 !! The anaestheologist hoped it was just fear !!! It stayed high throughout the first week because I was not allowed to take my blood pressure pills and only after that was I able to have the smallest of the three. After 2 weeks I was able to have all of them. I survived and am grateful, but it is not something I would like to do again with out some guidance from a physician.

I am still trying to figure out if I have Conn's, Cushings or both. My blood pressure was up really high. Did 2 Aldo/Renin tests The first one the ratio was very high but mostly cause renin was so low. Second one better but still low renin and higher Aldosterone. So after each of those Dr told me I was on medication that could affect test. I am finally off most of my medication. My blood pressure is high sometimes (mostly late nights) which would be consistant with Cushing's. Both can have labile BP esp if diet salt varies a lot. Sounds to me like you have PA. Google Cushing's Syndrome images and see if you look like any of them. I guess my question is does blood pressure go up and down with Conn's too. Could cortisol and aldosterone work together since they are both produced by the adrenal glands? This is all so confusing! Violet No one ever said medicne was easy. Where do you live?

The bottom number is between beats. I guess there could be a problem where the top number is abnormally high but in general you just have to keep the bottom number from getting too close to 90. Below 80 is much better though. I've been sanding varnish off the wainscotting and door frames in the breakfast room. What a horrid job that is! I'll try to finish it in the morning so I can start painting some pretty yellow on the walls. That is much more rewarding than sanding! Time for a shower and then bed.

Low BP is a characteristic scourge of CFS, and probably related to low blood volume and other outfalls of the common diastolic heart disorders. Mine has been historically so low I've had nurses ask me if I HAD one. (90/60 was typical for most of my adulthood.) Just standing up from a chair could bring me close to blacking out. That all changed when I got on thyroid meds, which, over time, elevated my BP back into the normal ranges. Now, I'm pretty consistently 115/75 or so. You don't mention what treatment your friend is getting -- but if she had normal BP beforehand, that's pretty atypical of CFS. And if her BP is elevating now -- and she does have CFS -- that should be a good sign that her heart function is improving, either due to increased blood volume, better thyroid performance, or some other related change. If it's elevating beyond the high end of the normal range, she should contact her FFC doctor straightaway. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Adrienne, this is a long shot, but I find that I have extremely high blood pressure only in certain doctors' buildings. It seems that some buildings with toxic mold contamination will cause my bp to go very high. In other offices, the drug store and at home it is completely normal. She might want to get a cuff and test herself in different situations to try to get an accurate picture of what is going on. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
