I am 34 years old and only had hypertension after I gave birth to my son Benn. I am on medication now but there are times when my blood pressure shoots up. Maybe you guys have any idea how to lower it naturally and fast!

There are a number of herbal and homeopathic remedies that are well known for their ability to control high blood pressure with great success. Unlike conventional medicines, which do not always address the root cause, natural remedies can do this without the risk of side effects or addiction.

In keeping with a holistic approach to health, Naturopaths recognize that high blood pressure may be a sign or symptom of imbalance in the body and thus recommend a combination of lifestyle changes and natural remedies to remove the causes of the high blood pressure, rather than simply just treating the symptoms.

Remember to always source your natural remedies from a reputable company in order to ensure safety, efficacy, and correct therapeutic dosage.

Do not make changes to your prescription medication without first consulting your doctor.

I’m a pretty heathy person. I’m going to be 19 in 2 days,Average weight,No hypertension that i know of runs through my family.
I have anxiety problems though. Lately my stress level has been really bad. I’m not gonna take up time and write about what has been going on,but i have had it pretty rough lately. Well yesterday a friend of mine came over. He shares with me the same problems with his family over and over. I keep giving him advice and he doesn’t listen,so i told him i’m sick of hearing his stuff when he won’t doing anything about it and how it has been stressing me out. Previously i had drank some tea called Yerba Mate. It’s like green tea but a little different. It has alot of caffeine in it,at the time i didn’t know this would mess with my stress.
I felt really sick all of the sudden,i thought i was gonna barf. At this time i was still talking to my friend. I got up to go to the kitchen,i lend in the sink and i felt so dizzy i couldn’t even Stand up right,I couldn’t see,everything seemed super blurry and my hearing sounded all fuzzy when my mom was trying to ask if i’m okay. I couldn’t talk,i fainted on the floor. I ended u regaining consciousness and my mom called the ambulance,i couldn’t breathe right and i could feel my heart beating really fast,my hands and feet started to curl up and my wholebody went numb. They took me to the ER and said my blood pressure was 165 over 104
Which in turn was high blood pressure. The doc said it sounded like i was having a panic attack,but it just came in the middle of no where! I know i have been stressed,but i felt fine. What can i do to prevent stress and panic attacks?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
Forgot to add,i don’t rly like taking meds,is there any herbal things you know of i can take or some remedies you know of at all? Let me know.
Thanks
The technique at the link can be pretty effective if you practice it. This is very similar to cognitive therapy that is used by some therapists. So, if the technique at the link helps, you might consider seeing a therapist that specializes in cognitive therapy.

I suffer from High blood pressure and high cholesterol what would be a good and safe workout in regards to weight machines and cardio machines. What should i push my heart rate too if my resting heart rate is 89 bpm. What percentage of my max should i lift?

Sorry you cannot do weight lifting, but you can do walking, even brisk, avoid fat, sugar, stimulants. and be stress free.

I can’t afford the doctor right now and am worried,so any information would be appreciated,thank you.

Low salt or salt free foods lower blood pressure. No anxiety occurs

I know that chemoreceptors regulate blood pressure by monitoring the levels of H, O2 and CO2 in the blood, but why and how do these chemicals effect blood pressure?

I know that if too much CO2 and H is found in the blood by chemoreceptors, the medula oblongata will cause vasodialation (or constriction if there is too little im guessing) along with a slower heart rate. But how and why do these chemicals effect the blood pressure?

Recent scientific research suggests that a problem of the inner lining of blood vessel walls, called the endothelium Singular layer of flat cells that lines the walls of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; inner lining of the tunica intima layer of blood vessels, may contribute to hypertension. Substances released from the endothelium can cause blood vessels to dilate or constrict. Some substances also promote or inhibit growth of the smooth muscle cells in the blood vessel wall.

Normally, the actions of these substances are held in balance. But in some people, the constriction chemicals may overpower the relaxation chemicals. Arteries narrow, and blood pressure goes up because it is more difficult for blood to circulate.

What foods do you have to consume to prevent low blood pressure? How do you know if you have low blood pressure? Which is worse low blood pressure or high blood pressure?

High blood pressure is definitely worse. There is really no danger associated with low blood pressure, as long as it is not too low.
To prevent or treat low blood pressure, you should drink at least 8 bottles of water a day, and eat as much salt as possible in your foods.
If you feel like you are going to pass out when you stand you or sit up after lying down, or you notice that your heart rate increases a lot after changing your position from sitting or standing, these could be signs of low blood pressure.
If you think you might have low blood pressure, you should go to your doctor to check it out.

I would like to know what is the average or normal blood pressure in the morning, noon and evening.

its all diferent depending on your day. but 120 over 60 is a good one for a young person…

First of all before i get to my question,

Id like to add why I myself use these meds in the first place and maybe my vew will help others get more knowledgeable : )
As most of us know, I in this case and many others with similar disorders are screwed unless they get too the psychological/emotional root of the problem and work on themselves towards complete recovery through cognitive therapy.. keep in mind LONG TERM*

But as of now, I and I’m sure many others don’t have the time or the resources to get to the correct therapy and truly assess the roots of problem through releasing their repressed emotions. At this point, I can easily say that alot of us only have the ability to numb the effects chemically and make the best of it while it lasts and while they still can.(insurance or buying for the drugs)

We all know success in any environment requires self assertiveness, but I think that what too many people fail to understand the difficulties involved in getting through such disorders without aid. Many times this is impossible without short term use of medication to jump start their success and hopefully after that get the true cure though harmless drug free cognitive therapy, they wont need the meds ever again.

I think people really need to become more understanding and educated about why people with mental disorders such as mine (or worse) would resort to destroying their brain chemistry’s and bodies by using such dangerous med’s which are pretty much more or less illegal street drugs such as cocaine(adderall) and pretty much prescription alcohol(xanax). Only an idiot would ingest and sooner or later abuse these poisons if they didnt have any medical basis for the drug. It feels so great to live a normal life, Disordered people take them to simply function like normal people and to live up to their true potentials. Its a trade off. disordered and debilitating unproductive natural life or chemically induced life of productivity with risks of lifelong health consequences and addiction.

BTW, sorry I went a bit off topic… however im sure it was worth the reading either way xD

Hey, I’m experimenting on prescription medication for my ADHD combined type coexisting with an anxiety disorder called social phobia(fear of social interaction with others for no logical reason, in response the body triggers its fight or flight defence mechanism and thinks your being attacked. so it prepares you for self defence and attack), and deficits with verbal expression but above average and possibly a generalized anxiety disorder as well. I was prescribed a one month supply of Generic Adderall IR at first and my doc let me experiment up to 40mg.

I have a 60 day supply of Adderall XR(10mg) and 30 day supply of Adderall IR (10mg), and 30 day supply of recently prescribed Xanax XR(1mg). I have the adderall in my closet for over half a year and finished only half of the XR and used only 10 IR pills. So that says something…

I didn’t like IR because I didn’t like the sudden pick me up, it felt very unnatural and and that isnt the reason I take these meds

So he switched me too Adderall XR(brand) which is supposedly smoother and better for the crash when the med wears off

He also prescribed me Xanax XR(brand)(30 x 1mg) to try for my social anxiety.

The adderall gives me high blood pressure, high pulse, and a form of anxiety(it improves my social anxiety by a little and either way i can still talk to people normally, i just feel very tense and stiff, I become disrespectful to others because I interrupt and blurt what others would say before they finish their points, and sometimes paranoid) ive been commented… , it was very hard to urinate and sometimes it was impossible until an hour or so later (this was on 30mg Adderal XR), and muscle tension(crack my knuckles very very often), jitters at first, very dry dry mouth, some appetite loss, extremely cold hands and feet, and finally i sometimes I get motor ticks on my thighs, arms, and feet.

I’d like too reduce/eliminate all or at least majority of the overstimulation of the bodies nervous system and organs caused by the stimulant medication Adderall; by taking it in conjunction with Xanax to level out the effects and hopefully greatly minimize the possible long term heart, blood pressure/circulation problems, and all other problems associated with the use of Adderall or any other strong stimulant. Id like to feel the benefits of the adderall without the physical stimulation and anxiety it manifests.

I was thinking adderall XR(brand) 70mg(7*10mg pills)(which really is 35mg at first then 35 more later) with 2mg of Xanax XR(brand).

I want too know if I chose too much Xanax or too much of the adderall..

Does anyone have any experience with this? Anyone try the same thing? Can anyone recommend me a good combination? Any better medication combinations? Do you think a Beta-Blocker like Inderall would be a good idea as opposed too Xanax X

Wow, that was a really long story. I disagree with your premise. I don’t think that Adderall numbs you, I think it actually addresses the Dopamine imbalance in your brain that results in ADHD. I also think that 2 mg of Xanex is a lot. Inderall might be a very good idea if you need that much Xanex.

Have you considered asking your dr for guidance, instead of the Y!A community?

My dad has been suffering from high blood pressure for about a year now. He is at low risk for heart attack because he is very healthy, swimming at the gym every morning 5 days a week (although I’m not sure how good the genetics are). He has noticed just recently that the higher his heart rate is, the lower his blood pressure is. I’m guessing this has something to do with the physiological mechanism behind blood pressure and heart rate, so any additional information about that would be welcome.

The relationship between heart rate and blood pressure is complex. Heart rate and blood pressure vary during the day and are influenced by many factors. Medications also influence the heart rate and blood pressure. I know your father has high blood pressure, but I am not sure if he is on medications. There are certain medications that decrease blood pressure and increase heart rate, such as Hydralazine or Minoxidil. These are not routinely used for most cases of high blood pressure. Other medications decrease both heart rate and blood pressure, such as beta blockers. Many conditions associated with a low blood pressure such as dehydration will be associated with a reflex increase in heart rate. Sometimes if the heart rate is very fast the blood pressure can decrease. As you can see it is pretty complex and difficult to say the reason in your father’s case with limited information. If your father does not have symptoms like lightheadedness, then it is most likely nothing to worry about. He can discuss it with his doctor if he is concerned, because his doctor knows the details of his medical history. Good luck.
