Anybody tried CoQ10 to lower high blood pressure?? -

I have reached phase one of hypertension with a blood pressure reading of 140/90. Yikes. Before I go to the doc to be put on meds, I m curious about the use of CoQ10 to lower high blood pressure. Anybody had success with it?? I am reading that you use 100 mg twice a day.

if yr reading is 140/90 then u need to be having it regularly checked by yr doc. mine was that 2 yrs ago im now 47, similar to u grandad had stroke mum has bp controlled by medication recently despite, a lot of exercise, very low salt diet and a diuretic (prescribed when my bp was first diagnosed) its creeping up and im due to go back next week to see what to do for it. ive not heard of co enzyme Q10 being used for bp but u could try asking your doctor, although some of them dont know too much about supplements even if u do take it u should let yr doctor know that u are. if the standard exercise/low salt diet dont work then i dont think that a supplement would either and medication is the only way. see your doctor because bp is dangerous to ignore, particularly with yr family history like me. good luck.

You missing so much important info on CoQ10 For better info on CoQ10 check the article on my website Report Abuse

heard of CoQ10 for heart health. Blood pressure, in general, no salt, low fat diet and exercise. Suipplements, omega-3, garlic, cayenne, hawthorn and rosemary. Calcium, Mg and K deficiencies linked to high blood pressure. Foods such as celery are good

salt is the biggy, lower your salt for a month and it should drop. If not there might be some organic cause like kidney disease or some such so dont delay seeing the quack.

CoQ10 has a lot of Cardiovascular benefits, including some aspects of blood pressure. Unfortunately, different people need different doses to be healthy, so I would recommend talking to a doctor that knows about supplements to find out what would be the best dose for you. With CoQ10, it s expensive enough that you ll want to make sure you re not taking too much... otherwise you re literally flushing a lot of money down the toilet.

Wow what you are doing is really potentially very dangerous! First if your BP is 140/90, how many times was this the reading, have you had 24 BP monitoring to confirm that any elevation is not white coat hypertension? Only 3 things have any real effect on lowering BP, other than medication: 1) Be as close to your ideal weight as possible 2) Take regular vigorous CV exercise 3) Lower your intake of salt. Your current reading, for what it is worth as a one off, is not yet in the treatment range. If the above HEALTH measures, rather than the quack pills, fail to keep it from doing so, you require scientifically proven conventional therapy to try and negate your increased stroke and heart attack risks. Don t ever play Russian Roulette with your health in this way!

Coenzyme Q10 will certainly lower your blood pressure a bit but not necessarily a lot. You can always try it out and if the result is too small then you may need further supplements such as odourless garlic, hawthorn, fish oil and perhaps others. A Yahoo search for quot;high blood pressurequot; + quot;natural remediesquot; will give you a lot of useful information.
