Guest guest Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Millie, Check out this link: http://www.aapb.org/disorders_Hypertension.html# (the pound sign is included, even though it isn't showing up that way on this email). Hypertension can be of two types--essential hypertension, which has no "known" cause (though most alternative MDs will tell you that the cause is toxins) and secondary hypertension, which basically means that the high bp is a symptom of some underlying medical condition and not a disease in and of itself. Also, FYI: dizziness and lightheadedness could be a sign of low potassium, which some bp meds can cause. Most OTC potassium supplements aren't that great, so if he opts to supplement, his MD can write a prescription for higher potency, more bioavailable potassium. He can also get supplements such as Selectrolytes, but generally they must come from a less mainstream physician--or other health care provider, as regular MDs don't seem to offer it. Tamera high blood pressure Hello all,I am training my father who has been on high blood pressure medication for 50 years. He has had digestive issues for years, but for the last two weeks has had severe constipation accompanied with lightheadedness and dizziness. He also is doing HRV training as well and I noticed his HR was averaged 54 BPM. I have looked up and discovered these are the side effects and/or overdose effects of both medications he is taking. When I told him this might be a result of the training and suggested he discuss it with his doctor, he dismissed the possibility of it being related. Even though he isn't of the mindset that he may need to have his meds lowered or even the possibility of not having to take them, he did want me to make a list he could give to his doctor. Is it common for people to get off their BP meds with NF training? If so, I would appreciate any references to research or case studies that would support this as I suspect both he and his doctor will be skeptical to make any changes. I appreciate any feedback and suggestions.All the best,Millie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thanks for your thoughtful response Tamera. I greatly appreciate your insight and the link. It is very challenging working with family members. My dad is old, set in his ways, and thinks he knows everything. He is trying to make better choices in his diet and making some gains in his training; however it is hard to gage with everything that is going on with his health. Dr. Sharrie suggested a hair analysis to better target problematic issues; however I am still working on convincing him of this.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to tell me if there is anything in either NAX - or Nutri Thyroid to raise my BP. Foolishly I stopped monitoringn in July (after 5 months on the above) and started again the other day only to find that from 130/80 s readings I am now 145s/90. Temperature has risen nicely to 36s starting point before treatment was 33/34. Many thanks in advance for help Pippa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
