Any suggestions for lowering BP...

Recommended Posts

Blood pressure is way too high and I am knocking back on sodium (food is terrible right now) and beer and doing a lot more cardio at the gym. I have lost 8 pnds and the BP is still too high (matter of fact, diastolic hasn't dropped at all, systolic has dropped a bit). Been working on it for 2 weeks now. Can't really eliminate stress from my job. Any suggestions?

BP medicine. I am on Diovan and seems to do a pretty good job on controlling my BP.

If you want something over the counter, look for a place that specializes in chinese medicines. Look for Health Concerns formulas.

Don't take them together. They will cause your BP to drop drasticly.

White Willow Bark (Asprin) will thin the blood and lower BP as well.

Less caffeine and fattening food. Stay away from salty foods! If you smoke, quit! Rest more. Spend more time out on fresh air. Get in touch with your doc asap. Ask your doctor for lisinopril 10mg Rx to start off. Its a well proven generic and way cheaper than diovan and will work just as well if not better.

diet and exercise. routinely. plenty of foods high in fiber and low in fat. you'll see and feel a dramatic change. If you are looking into a medication look into lisinopril/hctz. its a blood pressure medicine plus a diuretic. plus its on walmarts $4 list.

Eating a more balanced diet, exercise (need cardiovascular workout but also helps with stress-busting too), losing weight are more long term fixes. Controlling caffeine and salt intake now will help you more immediately. Also watch your cholesterol intake since this could be contributing to an elevated blood pressure too.

Possibly medication and see a doctor if your blood pressure is consistently higher >140/90 or >130/80 if you have diabetes or chronic kidney condition. If you are getting frequent headaches, getting dizzy or lightheaded, or feeling tired all the time...see a doctor. I purchased a blood pressure monitor and started monitoring my blood pressure in the morning and in the evenings to see if was consistently elevated. I am on meds now but most of my family have high blood pressure.

Good luck. I understand if you don't want to get on meds so control what you can first but see a doctor if it's consistently high.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
