decreasing cardiac output and vasodialtion. also, sometimes, depending on the cause, you need to decrease the amount of fluid in the circulatory system, this is why some people are on water tablets for high blood pressure and why people in renal failure can get it too.

oh wow i had this amp; still do...try to relax before bp reading
he should it is real. all he has to do is have you sit in his office for an hour before taking your blood pressure again, this happens to a lot of people.
Asthma is well known to cause pulmonary hypertension. Have you ever had any breathing issues? Shortness of breath, a feeling of tightness in your chest, chronic chest colds? If so you may want to ask about the possibility of asthma.
stress could have triggered this
Diet changes and lowering his stress levels will help. Lower his sodium intake and increasing his potassium intake will helps lower blood pressure, bananas are good sourc of potassium. There are some natural herbs that also help lower blood pressure, but they re slipping my mind right now check out a local health food store
Fresh fruits and veggies, nuts (natural, not salted), fish, especially salmon, olive oil, yogurt and whole grains are best. I also have high blood pressure and I have found that this works WONDERS. I also dropped about 50 pounds without trying after I went on this diet (another cause of high blood pressure is being overweight). Cut out junk food, sugar, salty foods, processed foods (such as packed products loaded with chemical preservatives). Just try to eat as natural as possible. If you think it s bland, think again! I enjoyed this diet immensely!
Don t bother with quack pseudo-science. Be very wary of things marketed as natural remedies . For information about these natural remedies look here (scroll to the section: Questionable Products, Services, and Theories ): **ADDITIONAL** Please use proper science; see additional references. Note that none of these sites say anything about so called natural remedies .
try some of the following,garlic,hawthorn berries,or omega three fish oils. Also,tell your friend to set aside a couple of hours a day for relaxing and meditation. I use candles and native american flute music to help me. Good luck
Your friend could try the OTC diuretics.
My mom used garlic to lower her blood pressure. She boil it and then ate it. Good Luck!!!
Don t sweat the small stuff. Stress is no good for your blood pressure. Eat less salt. I lowered my blood pressure from 143/90 to 112/70. I used to get excited about everything that wasn t the norm. I taught myself to see the good in any situation. Any good at all. THat was a start. I went to weight watchers. I lived on the frozen dinners and desserts until I dropped 10% of my weight. I use the Weight Watchers plan because it made me feel good. I started drinking water all the time. So much so that I crave it when I am thirsty. I eat yogurt once or twice a day because I like it. I have oatmeal with cinnamon almost every day. THe cinnamon kepts the cholestoerol level down and I believe it helps my blood pressure too. But that is me. With weight watchers I ate small amounts every two to three hours. It teaches you how to eat healthy. The weirdest thing was that two months ago I stopped using artifical sweeteners expect in diet soda. I just use a small teaspoon of sugar in my coffee and I only use enough on food to enhance the food. I put a teaspoon of fiber in my coffee and I also take a teaspoon of gelatin to help keep my joints from aching. Walking is a great way to feel good. I admit that if I eat something too salty I have to take an aspirin. THe main thing is don t jump into a huge program you won t finish. If you can try any of my tips and feel better I m glad. I too like to save money.
EXERCISE SWIMMING DRINKING ORANGE JUICE WITH PULP NON PULP WORKS AS WELL BUT THE PULP IS EFFICIANT, EATIING GREENS STAYING AWAY FROM SODIUM REFINED CARBS AND SUGARS
grapefriut every day or boiled garlic in goats milk. it may sound gross but garlic has tons of health benefits. my mah used it when she had a cold/cough and it inadvertedly helped her BP
Pray. Try it. It works.
For reduce blood pressure, reduce weight. eat food with high levels of potassium (fruits and vegetables) to reduce water retention, don t eat salt.
This may sound silly, but the more water you drink the more you will get rid of. Exercise is good for both high blood pressure and water retention. Diet will help with both also. Too much salty foods like chips and snacks will make you retain water. I hope this helps your friend.
Please visit www.QiGongDoctor.com , and look along the left column. Download (free) quot;Hot Water, Chinese Penicillinquot;, and also: quot;QiGong Breathingquot;. The hot water sets up a central core over-heat signal to the brain, which causes quot;global vaso-dilationquot;. Deep breathing helps to oxygenate the blood, and, in addition, allows blood flow to increase, allowing the heart to beat with less effort. End result, is: a slow drop in blood pressure (Over time and with patience, and practice) Try it - it works. Hot water and breathing. easy to do...big result... You can also practice the other links to FREE DOWNLOADABLE items on the same webpage for your general health and welfare. BTW: the hot water hydrates the body, and it tends to release excess water in the process. Re; the retention question. Dr. D.M. Smith, TCMD (China)
Karkade quot;KAR-kah-dayquot; is a sweet tea made from hibiscus flowers, notably the roselle variety. This beverage can be consumed hot or cold (with ice and a touch of lemon) and is known to have been a favorite of Ancient Egyptians. It is widely believed to have natural abilities to reduce high blood pressure. One may purchase Karkade at a local Middle-Eastern market. It is also consumed in Egypt, Mexico, and other parts of the world. Another helpful natural remedy for hypertension is a paste made from fresh garlic and olive oil. After making about two cups of the paste, store it in the freezer. Someone with high blood pressure would take a teaspoonful each morning from this paste and this may greatly help. The paste is kept in the freezer not only to preserve it, but also to help reduce the strong taste and odor. Additional and better known remedies include: Hawthorn, Passiflora incarnata, Guelder Rose bark, Ginkgo biloba, Buchu, Dandelion, and Olea europea. Drink water in moderation. Drinking too much water may actually increase (not lower) blood pressure. Avoid salt, or replace it by resorting to lemon and vinegar.
Actually you need to drink more water. The retention comes when you don t drink enough water so your body holds what it has. Also High blood pressure can be caused by an excessive amount of sodium in your blood. Water washes away any excess minerals your body may have, and helps your body absorb the rest better.
Yes. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, formally known as Primary pulmonary hypertension. Did you have a specific question?
Basically, the human body has 2 seperate blood circulation systems, one for the body, and one for the lungs. When the blood pressure gets too high in the lungs, pulmonary hypertension occurs. This causes a few different problems, mostly related to impaired gas exchange at the alveolar level, simply put, the lungs cannot absorb enough oxygen. Is this what you have going on? I see in your other thread you got supplemental oxygen, that will go along ways in protecting your organs like your heart and kidneys.........Best of luck, if you need anything else, please let me know.
Yes. I had it for years. What do you kneed to know? Email me and I will respond right back.
yes what do you need to know?
The name may lead you to believe it s in the lungs, but it s not. It s hypertension (high pressure) in the pulmonary artery. There is a lot more to it, but thought that explaining the name would be a start. EE

Krill oil is the best and it does not result in fishy taste. Thorne Research brand is the purest but can only be provided by a licensed health care professional. Thorne does not sell retail to the public.
nature made is a brand that i get at walmart and i have been taking it for months.
You can ask their doctor for samples (and then a prescription) of an omega-3 called OmaCor. I take it and started after my heart attack. Its very expensive, and some insurance helps. But I would not just buy OTC for them without talking to their doctor first.
i have always heard that cod oil is awesome and really good for you. and nowadays you dont have to taste it anymore, it comes in capules.
Omacor is supposed to be the purest and highest quality. . .if you believe their drug representative.
I would be wary of Omacor the side effects are terrible after 6 weeks I experienced the following side effects, and a stay in the hospital, stopped taking it and all sysmptoms went away, My Dr. said that it was not possible until I showed him the following side effects --------------------------------------...

At , it states, quot;Macular degeneration damages and destroys the central vision of up to one in three Americans in their lifetime and has no known cause or cure.quot; It states quot;no known causequot; and there s a very good reason for it. I do not have macular degeneration... however, you might consider reading my post at may sound too impossible, but there s been a serious flaw at the base of optometry research. You need to read this to get an idea of what has happened. If you want to see what actually happened 85 years ago, read my post dated February 21, 2007 @ 10:59 am at has to see this in a historical and cultural context to understand it in its entirety. I know those are pretty long reads, but they are crucial to understanding what s actually going on at the top levels of science. The leading optometrist at the highly selective Columbia University 85 years ago made a nearly 180 degree turn after 15 years of following optometry doctrine when he found something wrong with a theory from 1855. This theory has kept our doctors from uncovering the truth. This man s name was William Bates. He found that he could reverse not only refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, and so on) but serious eye diseases like blindness, cataracts, macular degeneration, and so many other things. The theory by itself changes everyone s understanding regarding what causes refractive errors and diseases of the eye. Even some modern optometrists (including a Director of Ophthalmologist at New York Medical College) have explicitly stated that Helmholtz s theory has prevented discovery of errors. I don t know the statistics regarding macular degeneration, but if you think there might even be an ounce of truth to what I m saying, you can look at my posts and perhaps help yourself by reversing macular degeneration. To learn more about the Bates Method, you can look at ... start by reading the description on the main page. You can also post at the forums if you have any questions regarding how this method can apply to macular degeneration.
