Sara,

I got high blood pressure when I was pregnant with and so I am trying to

watch the salt now that I am pregnant again. I am working on this now, so I

cant say that I can help much, but I know what you are going through. My best

advice is don't cook with salt and just salt the heck out of Zach's stuff. We

also have to be careful with the salt because my M-I-L has high blood pressure

and she loves to cook for . (but she is really good at remembering to put

a ton of salt on the Queen's meal) Good luck and let me know if you come up

with any good ideas!

High Blood Pressure

My husband was diagnosed today with high blood pressure. He has had

a headache for 5 days straight. We are so worried. We hope his

medication works. This will be hard since will need a low

sodium, low fat diet and Zach needs the opposite.

Has anyone had any experience with this situation?

Sara,

It will take a few weeks for the high blood pressure medicine to reach a

good level. It also may take changing medicine due to side effects and

such. Don't be afraid to check with the doc if he has side affects, there

are lots of different medications that can be used.

As far as diet goes, we have a similar situation in our household. My

husband has high blood pressure, atrial fibrilation, over weight, back

problems and who knows what else. We are all overweight in our house hold

except for Steph. It is not going to hurt Zach to eat what you all eat you

will just have to supplement his diet with more calories or treats

elsewhere. has a cupboard that is full of snacks and such that

are just for her.

Good luck and I hope your husbands blood pressure is under control soon and

he feels better.

Sara,

Your husband should have his intracellular magnesium levels checked. Most high

blood pressure is often

corrected by correcting magnesium deficiency. If he begins taking magnesium, he

may be able to reduce

or discontinue blood pressure meds. So discuss this with his doctor and insist

on testing intracellular levels,

NOT blood levels.

For more info, go to http:www.exatest.com and http:www.krispin.com (click on

magnesium).

, congratulations on your pregnancy. I didn't know you were expecting. I

hope things go well for you.

Because of your high b/p diagnosis, you too should have your intracellular Mg

levels checked. If you're

Mg-deficient, then you are at risk for early labor and loss of bone density (and

increased risk of cavities and

dental problems during pregnancy).

If either of you decide to have Mg levels checked by blood (instead of

intracellular), just remember that an

" in-range " result isn't accurate and you can still be deficient.
