low blood pressure

[Guest guest]

Hi

" mean and lean " that's great.

My blood pressure has always been very low, like yours. No one ever (doctor)

thought to show concern, even when i was pregnant.

Maybe it's okay

but if you find out anything, let me know

Where did you get your Blood pressure taken and how often? Sometimes it

can be the cuff!! So it is important to validate the blood pressure on

more than one occassion and using a different cuff. Often times the

nursing assistants will report a very low Blood pressure and I will to

retake it and get a significantly different reading.

OKC

I am new to the list and just 3 months into the ER4YT diet. So far so good.

I

have lost 24 unwanted pounds and am feeling really mean and lean. My

question. My blood pressure is 80/60. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

I am so new to this list that I'm not even sure what the diet is. My pharmacist recommended I look at the literature on the internet, so I've been looking at the chat for about 3 weeks and still haven't a clue? Can anyone provide me with a clue?

Hi Eaharvey

The source of the Diet is Eat Right 4 Your Type, by Dr. DaDamo, and it has a

companion cookbood, Cook Right 4 Your Type. The scientific basis of this

diet is to eat according to your blood type, and that no diet can work for

everyone. Your bloodtype will affect the way you process different foods,

your susceptibility to certain diseases, or resistance to certain conditions.

Even your personality, and excercise requirements.

We write to each other here because we are type O. Hopefully you are too.

You will get a lot of advice about ways to apply health info just for type

O's, plus also a lot of general encouragement.

Good Luck

Ann

Hi :

I too am a type O. I got both my books, the cook book too, off amazon.com. I paid less than I would have in the book store. If you have a credit card or a debit card you can order it and have it in a couple of weeks if not sooner. They are perfectly secure and safe. We haven't any trouble so far. Good luck.

Ali,

I wouldn't worry about it. Having low blood pressure, as long as you are

healthy otherwise, is usually no big deal.

Thanks, . I'll do just that.

As I said, I got some information from my pharmacist, who is apparently starting support and educational groups for types/diets. I am an O. In exploring the internet, I had not yet found any references to the complete diet. This will help, I'm sure.

" Normal " is defined as 120/80 , thus you have lower than normal...

" In most people, blood pressure isn't too low until it produces symptoms, such

as lightheadedness or fainting. In certain disease states, it's possible for

blood pressure to be too low. " from

low blood pressure

I just bought a blood pressure cuff...can someone give me an idea of what

numbers would be coming up if I had low blood pressure? Also, whats a good

example of normal blood pressure? My numbers are like 95/60 if I am

remembering it right(I did it last night), I will do it again tonight.

[Guest guest]

Ken et al.,

I just went to the Blood Pressure site and copied the full quote that

Ken was working from. Here's the whole thing:

" What about low blood pressure?

Within certain limits, the lower your blood pressure reading is, the

better. In most people,

blood pressure isn't too low until it produces symptoms, such as

lightheadedness or fainting. In

certain disease states, it's possible for blood pressure to be too low.

Examples include

certain nerve disorders or endocrine disorders

prolonged bed rest

decreases in blood volume due to severe bleeding (hemorrhage) or

dehydration

Optimal blood pressure with respect to cardiovascular risk is less than

120/80 mm Hg.

However, unusually low readings should be evaluated to rule out medical

causes. "

Doesn't say much, does it? I guess most of us fit all three reasons for

low bp. That's regular medicine for you--write us off!

BTW, I noticed some people are getting home bp testing kits. Does anyone

know of a good routine for determining the actual state including

fluctuation of our bp? The only one I know of is to sit a while, then

stand up and take it. And to try to get the nurse to do this when you go

to your doc.

Take care,

Lynea

Low Blood Pressure

I've recently found out that I have low blood pressure. Does anyone

know if this is related to candida?

Cheers,

Pete

Pete,

Low blood pressure can be linked to many things, but I guess it would be hard to

pin onto

Candida in any way. Maybe if a vast cross section of Candida sufferers had their

b/pressure

checked before and after Candidiasis...

Mine tends to be low, but so's my moms. We're both ectomorphs, though.

Sorry, guess this doesn't really answer your Q...

Hi ,

There are three basic terms used to describe body types:

ectomorphs are thin

mesomorphs are more athletic muscular

endomorphs tend to be rounded and hold weight

I think these are what books like eating right for your body type are based on.

They were

created by a shrink in the 40s. There's more to it than I said, but I'm sparing

with words

at 5:30 am.

Have a good day!

The newer books that are popular right now! are Eat Right 4 Your Type, Live

Right 4 Your Type!

and Cook Right 4 Your Type. These are all based by your BLOOD TYPE, and are

working wonders

for me.

I've had mildly low blood pressure most of my life. But I also have low

thyroid, and I've wondered if low blood pressure might have something to do

with why I need to spend 20 minutes on the couch in the early a.m. on my way

to getting up. I suspect low blood pressure - not in athletes - could have

to do with easy fatigue? Anyone else suspect the same or other theories?

My message on low blood pressure may cause achalasia does not mean all low blood

pressure leads to achalasia. Mine did because it increased the potassium (and

lowered the salt) in

my blood stream. It is known that high, or low, potassium in the blood stream

can lead to atrail fibrillation. High, or low salt, can also cause fibrillation

since there must be a proper balance between salt and potassium to conduct the

nerve signals. My worse case of fibrillation was stopped by a very salty soup.

I believe there maybe a link between acahalsia and atrail fibrillation since the

nerves both control the heart and the cardia valve through the vagus nerve (many

nerves bundled together).

Atrail fibrillation (not all cases?) maybe caused by misfiring nerves and it is

suspected that the nerve system in achalasia has failed in some way.

There are many reasons for high, or low potassium in the blood stream so there

are many reasons for achalasia. I described a lesser known reason of high

potassium through hypothyroidism that may not apply to all cases of

hypothyroidism

Note should be taken that I had two reasons for the increased potassium,

hypopthyroidisim and hypoventilation. I suspect there may be more reasons. I

have found in iriitis that I have to have four or five reasons before the eye is

overwhelmed by the attack.

Low blood pressure leads to achalasia? Maybe, but I doubt it? I have

been told by doctors for years I am boarderline hypertension and to

lower my sodium intake. I still have a tendency to have high blood

pressure. In fact, the hospital was reluctant to release me after my

myotomy because my blood pressure was too high.

I don't know anything about your claim. You could be absolutely right,

but I would need to seem more proof to be convinced that low blood

pressure can cause achalasia. Sounds kind of dicy to me.

It strikes me, that this is a dangerously low blood pressure! What do your

doctors tell you? The advisability of salt use, in any amount, is highly

controversial. I would strive to use salt in modest amounts, if at all,

under all circumstances. Talk to your doctors. I can only speak for

myself, but I would be extremely concerned about blood pressure readings as

low as you've mentioned here, and would not self-medicate without prompt and

thorough medical attention.

Two things come to mind. Garlic and cayene. Both are know to raise low bp and

lower high bp. 1-800-herb-doc had the best cayene tincture you can get, as far

as I know. Be aware that the doc is Shulz and he has kind of an

interesting take on morality. He believes in multiple sexual partners even if

you are married. And he does promote this in his health newsletter which he

sends with each order.

So, please, if anyone orders from him, do not think that I condone this

philosophy. I don't, but his cayene is awesome.
