High Blood Pressure

[Guest guest]

Dear Sandy,

Capsule. Generally people like those better than

the taste of the oil. The capsule prevents the oil

from going rancid, too.

Best of Health!

Hi Saul,

Start with one what per meal? Teaspoon, capsule ? I developed high

blood pressure about a year ago and it settled to a normal level.

Now, it hovers around the borderline high level. My doctor would

love to put me on medication, but, it ain't gonna happen. Flax would

do me just fine.

I am 72 years old, have had A for almost 30 years, and never had high blood pressure. At least, it doesn't fit in my case.

[Guest guest]

I am just the opposite... no one can believe how

low mine is. They ask several questions about tiredness

sleepiness, etc. When I tell them I'm rather hyper,

they are amazed.

Go figure!

I'm sooooo happy for you !

Enjoy food!!

Enjoy drink!!!

Enjoy life.

Hi, I just suffered for many years with the pain, the regurgitation, the

embarrassment in restaurants, the awakening with food on my pillow. I tried

all medications, but as NO doctor diagnosed my problem, - they said it was

just stress and acid reflux. Tried Tagamet, Pepsid, Zantac, Procardia ( a

heart relaxer) which the doctor said might relax my esophagus. What

happened, is my A proceeded to the point that I have the most extreme

advanced case the doctors here is Los Angeles have ever seen. Two years

ago, after my final endoscopy, I was referred to three doctors to interview

for surgery, each with a different procedure. My doctor said " until surgery,

try sipping carbonated beverages before each bite of food. That will trigger

the esophagus to open. " It has, and two years later now, I have had NO

surgery,my esophagus is closed over 60% of the way 'up' and with carbonation,

I am able to eat everything. If I forget, which I have occasionally done, I

become totally blocked, and it can hours before I can even get water down. I

have found that forcing carbonated beverages down helps a great deal in

getting up the blockage, as it helps to " bubble " the blockage up. I feel

very fortunate. The doctors cannot believe it. They felt, and still feel

that surgery is still a possibility, but until the carbonation no longer

works, I will not have the surgery. Because of the blockage, I no longer

have acid reflux, I have no more pain, - it is almost as though I don't have

A except I carry a bottle of carbonated water with me everywhere.

Thank you..so much.

-Dearest a, I'm sorry to hear it has been such a rough time for

you right now. You know, Prozac is what keeps me going too. Dear

you cannot let the people you work with get you down. If you need to

give them a brochure and tell them your just not doing well right

now. I am not surprised your blood pressure is up. I have had this

on and off for years. It does make us feel sick and never well and

my heart does understand. Please know we are thinking of you too and

just let us know if you would like to visit on the phone or here some

more. Big big hugs dear girl, love Melt

a,

AOSD has it's pitfalls, and your high blood pressure and family health

related problems aren't going away too soon. This in-turn adds to increased

stress, which will undoubtably affect your AOSD symptoms. Managing outside

relationships such as your coworkers and friends is very important to your

mental health. So try not to burn too many bridges too fast. It will help

to educate your friends and coworkers on what this " dragon " does to you, and

the sacrifices you have to make just get along in the world. Remind them

that they probably arn't suffering day-in and day-out with a rare disease,

and somedays get worse than better. Encourage them to have patients with

you, and let them know that your actions are not meant to be deliberate, but

instead necessary towards your overall well being. I'm very sure they will

understand. Sometime I catch myself snapping back at my husband Bob,

because there are days I'm fed up with being sick all the time.

Fortunately, Bob understands me very well, and knows when I'm acting out of

character, and he also takes the time to educate my friends and family on

NOT being " thinned skinned " if I seem disagreeable at times. At first, it

was difficult for them to really grasp it all because they were used to me

always catering to their every whim. Now, it's not all that simple...if you

know what I mean.

Take care of yourself first,

High Blood Pressure

I had a Dr. appt. this morning. I've been having headaches and feeling

nauseous again lately. I'm on the verge of losing my friends also. Last

week me and a former co-worker had planned all week to get together Friday

night. Well as luck would have it, Friday I was feeling awful and had to

cancel and she wasn't very happy. Then Saturday I was suppose to go to a

Pampered Chef Party and Home Interior Party with a current co-worker and

Saturday morning I woke up with a headache. Turns out I have high blood

pressure. He also said my heart rate was beating too fast and my thyroid is

off a bit. He asked was I nervous and I said no but depressed and then I

went on my rant about my 10 year old son and his problems with the seizures,

allergies and asthma and Norman having his knee replacement surgery this

month and how this is the first year ever that I haven't been excited about

Christmas. By the time I was done I'm surprised he didn't have me carried

out in a straight jacket. But he did increase the prozac. Knowing that all

of you are out there is probably one of the few things that makes me happy

right now. So if I haven't thanked you all recently I'd like to thank you

now for always being there for me this past few years. You have all made a

tremendous difference in my life.

Jane,

I've often found that alpha uptraining at P4/A2 or alpha coherence training at the P sites has a positive effect on blood pressure, but I can't honestly say that I know which of the clients had "genetic" high blood pressure as opposed to other varieties.

If her alpha/theta ratio is low in the P sites, you could try it easily enough. Very unlikely to do any harm.

Hi arabiankay.

9 days!!! Were there complications? Where is your incision? I'm

going in next Wednesday for the open procedure and they told me

4 to 5. Have they given you any reason for the blood pressure

problems?

I wasn't worried before, but now I am.... :-(

[Guest guest]

Hi arabiankay,

Perhaps you need to go and see a physician - medical specialist - about your blood pressure. The operation itself should not give you high blood pressure. There is medication you can take and if it is a temporary thing then you can stop but right now it needs to be treated by someone who knows what he about. hypertension should be treated and not left - it is important !

How long you stay in hospital depends on the doctor, and what kind of procedure you had. I had an open Heller plus hiatus hernia repair and stayed in 5 days.

They may have kept you in for 9 days because of your blood pressure.

Hope it all gets sorted out soon !

Hugs,

Joan

,

mine went up quite a bit at menopause, and it will go up with infections, its

been up to 160/95. Its since gone back to normal lately, Dr thinks its cause I'm

walking a mile most days with my diabetic husb. I dont' think its that cause its

been low, high and all over the map during my cfs and doesn't always relate to

exercise/activity like they want to think. Potassium 'can' help some,

sometimes a deficiency in Potassium can raise it too. Maybe the Ambien is

affecting it too?

high blood pressure

Hello Group,

I have a friend here in Northern California who has been experiencing high

blood pressure for the last three or four months even though she is not

overweight and she eats good food with lots of fruits and vegetables. She

doesn't smoke or drink either. Her most recent blood pressure reading was

181/110. I was just wondering if high blood pressure was a problem for anybody

on the group. She doesn't take much in the way of medication except Ambien,

but

that was started about six months before her blood pressure started moving up.

The only other thing she has started recently is CoQ 10.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I don't know if it has to do with the blood

volume problem of this disease or what.

:

my bp has been very very low, very very high, and in the middle. since I've a

couple of surgeries within the past year I've been even more of a couch potato

and have put on weight but even with that my bp was up and now after this last

surgery it's even gone down to normal-go figure. I know that staying off the

salts for me is important but I crave salt at times because I have that anti

diuretic hormone problem and my salt is diluted in my body so even with a lot of

salt my blood salt levels will be normal but bp, at times, will go up. are you

taking any new meds, etc?

personally I'm slowly (you'd think I'd get it after 25+ year of cfids) getting

it that this disease does so many wacky things to one's body.

High blood pressure is usually a tone issue, look for some hot temporals in

an assessment , you might find some there.

Jane, I tried everything -- losing weight, exercise, oils, herbs, vitamins,

meditation, etc., etc. Nothing worked. Went on the meds and now all is

fine. There may be some studies that show oils *may* lower BP, but I think

if they were quickly and strongly effective, it would be big news. And it

isn't.

Haqppy holidays to all and thanks so much for the replies. I'm sorry to hear

that nothing has proven helpful for high blood pressure in the eo department.

Funny you ask.... I noticed about a year ago that my BP was reading high when

they took it at home. My doc didn't seemed concerned when I kept a log and

showed her the numbers. I, too, have a fast heart rate (usually 85-95). I didn't

pursue it but just this week I was at doctor's office and had them take it for

the heck of it and was 130/96. Very high. I have an appt with my doc again in

two weeks and will bring it up. Let me know what you end up doing. Thanks,

Hi a and Lainie,

My blood pressure is about the same as a's. The nurse I see sometimes

was a little bit concerned but I have not done anything about it - except

for trying to change my diet into a little bit more healthy by cutting down

on fat and salt (a little bit). I don't want to take any medicines unless

they are absolutely necessary.

My bp reads higher at the nurse's office than at home. The reason being that

I am so anxious there and more relaxed at home.

I have SMA II and am 37 y/o.

Hi Lainie,

Sorry to hear you were in the hospital, but glad to hear your care

was very good...hope you are feeling better now

I'd had borderline (doc's word) high blood pressure for years while

living in SoCal, my last few readings before moving were: 133/88,

149/92, 151/83...my highest was in 1997, and was 152/100!

After I moved, it has been much better. Last 3 readings here have

been: 128/74, 124/68, 110/68. Why? I have no idea, I'm not on any

meds for it. My only guess is maybe not as much stress and strife

since moving away from my family?? lol.

Hope you find the answers you are looking for regarding meds

Take care,

Dear Edith,

The first number is systolic, and measures the pressure during the

contraction phase.

The second number is diastolic, and measures the pressure during the

relaxation phase.

Try taking some more flax oil. Omega 3 essential fatty acids have a

beneficial effect on blood pressure.
