Re: Blood pressure medications

Army,

I am on atenolol. It is a beta-blocker. It lowers your bp and slows

down your heart, so if you have a slow heart rate already you may not

want it.

I take Diovan, mostly for the lack of side effects. Prior to Diovan it was

hard to decide which side effects were tolerable, and I bounced through a

lot of them.

The down side of Diovan is that it's not available as a generic yet.

I take 60 mg. propanolol (generic inderal). It's a low dose, but I had no

problems when I was on higher doses, either.

Hi Geri,

My BP is normal, but I do have Diabetes. I tried Glucophage but it made me

nauseous, which is a common side effect. Then I went on Avandia for a year

until studies showed that it could cause heart problems. That was in 2006. I

discussed it with my MD and we decided that I would try to control my blood

sugar with diet & exercise. Not so easy for a couch potato with an addiction to

sugar! Still, I managed to lose 65 lbs over the next 10 mos and that brought my

sugars down to the " normal " range with A1Cs at 5.3 for the last year or so. I

have kept off that weight, but could stand to lose another 60-100 lbs. I want

to be able to move better and be healthier in general. Still not easy for a

couch potato with a sweet tooth, but I'll get there.

Hi Bee,

Thank you for your reply. What if this person does not follow the program

perfectly. Would it be dangerous for them in any way to stop their blood

pressure medications.

Thank you, kelly

+++Hi ,

While they are getting on the program they should gradually lower their meds.

When they are completely on the program they shouldn't be taking any, unless

they aren't taking 1 1/2 teaspoons of ocean sea salt consistently every day.

They would need to consult with their doctor.

Group,

Just a fast note getting some advice from you. I'm having trouble with meds....

Blood Presser meds. Instead of lowering my blood presser some meds are making me

run very high.

The doc don't know what to do with me one doc waiting for another,

therefore nothing getting done. I have resorted to Cinnamon and going to start

on Q10.

For those that have high blood pressure..... what do you tolerate?

I sure have trouble with finding doctors that deal with internal med.Two have

moved and the one I have now acts like he dont know what to do, or perhaps dont

care?

Do you think I would have any luck with a neorealist for a primary doctor? So

touchy with meds I dont know what to do.......already had Con. Hart Failure

about nine mo. ago, dont want to go through that again.

Thanks

months and I went back for full blood work and both are in control. I do hope

Geri,

I use hawthorn berry extract. It works if I'm not eating processed foods or any

foods with gmo's and msg's. I mostly eat whole organic foods. I buy organic

grass fed meat and barely brown it so we're getting more nutrients. The only

grains I eat are oatmeal, chia seed, raw wheat germ, quinoa, and brown rice

occassionally.I eat organic free range eggs every day. Another good food to eat

is organic raw cheese from grass fed animals. I also use 1/4 tsp of himalayan

crystal salt to 1 quart of clean water. It has over 80 minerals in it that are

missing from the white table salt we get ar our grocery stores. It can actually

reduce blood pressure and prevent ostioperosis.
