What's up with blood pressure?
Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2012 6:30 pm
Recently I have had some swings with blood pressure that as of yet I can't explain. It all started about 3 weeks ago when I began taking my bp. I had just started using b6 on the reccomndation of dr.Sardi who stated it could lower blood pressure. My bp has occasionaly spiked high, but is usually borderline and at times, especially towards the evening, normal. However, I wanted to see if I could get it more in the normal range. Also. I had seen a accupuncurist for another problem (back pain) and asked him if there was a herb I could try for the bP. He gave me something for bp, and after 2 weeks I took my bp to see how it was with these new supplements.
well to my alarm, my bp was 190 over 115 , a good 60 to 30 points above what it normally was. I took it a few more times , and it was a little higher and a little lower, but still in that area. A few days later, I had a dr. appointment in order to get a prescription for my hypothyroid drugs refilled. I knew that he would take my bp, and if it was higher .. yadda yadda yadda etc etc and he would tell me horror stories of amputations, blood vessels bursting in peoples brains, heart attacks and a host of other stories that would entertain my imagination well into the next presidential election.
When that fateful day came, I ate a few things (4 bananas 2 rolls) that I presume might lower it . In the past bread would make me tired and the bananas were high in potassium, so maybe that would lower it. So I get to the drs office, have the bp taken, and my bp is off the charts, like 200/115, 190/105. He goes into prescription test mode, and wants to have my blood drawn for thyroid , kidney, prostate, and cholesteral. Even though I have been on the Pauling Protocol for 4 years, I am still leary about having a cholesteral test unless it includes the lpa measurement (the measurment that lysine is supposed to keep in check) . I hand him a story about having eaten a breakfast filled with sausage and eggs, so he declines to administer test. however he does the rest and gives me a bp drug (linosopril).
I call back the next day and he tells me my thyroid levels are fine, my kidney is fine , electrolytes ok, but that my blood sugar maybe prediabetic, but he says he needs to do more blood tests...3 month back test on diabetes, prostate and cholesteral test. I decide to not go back in because if readings are not el perfecto according to the accepted benchmarks set by the doctor panel appointed by the pharma cartel, I'll be waliking out of the docs office filled with a box of drugs. No way.
So I take the bp drug, and my bp drops down to 118./88 with my last reading. The offshoot is that a side effect of the bp drug is tiredness, and I feel a little run down. I decide to quit taking all my supplements for a week, and then take a bp reading after I have quit taking the bp medication a for a day or two. The first time I take it under these conditions it is a bit high, but after the fourth time ina half hour period, I get a reading of 137/95. Iw ill take a reading again, and then add supplement by supplemet and see if any of those are causing the upward spikes
My supplemt line up is a ss follows:
coq10: 100mgs
proline 1000mg
