Is sauna bath a cure to my abnormally high BP?

Maybe, but you should definitely see a doctor before trying to use a sauna for this.

A German University did a study on 40 volunteers with high blood pressure who weren’t being treated with medication. About 60% saw some improvement. About half of the people who saw improvement had their blood pressure return to normal. This leaves about 40% who didn’t see any improvement.

The volunteers visited the sauna at least twice per week, and during each visit would take two 8-10 minute sessions in the sauna, cooling down as needed between sessions.

The sauna used for this was set to a low temperature: 46-60°C or 115-140°F, with 40-50% humidity. Participants were told to cool off using warm showers or in the normal room air. Shock cooling in a cold tub or shower was found to be very dangerous.

If you are taking ANY medication at all, you need to talk to your doctor before taking any kind of heat bath. Many of these are sensitive to heat, others will affect how your body responds to heat.

Do you mean "Pericardial effusion"?
Pericardial effusion (per-ih-KAHR-de-uhl e-FYU-zhun) is the accumulation of excess fluid around the heart.
The heart is surrounded by a double-layered, sac-like structure called the pericardium. The space between the layers normally contains a very small amount of fluid.
Pericardial effusion is often related to inflammation of the pericardium due to disease or injury, but pericardial effusion can occur when there is no inflammation. Pericardial effusion can also result from the accumulation of blood after a surgical procedure or injury.
When the volume of fluid exceeds the pericardium’s "full" level, pericardial effusion puts pressure on the heart, causing poor heart function. If left untreated, pericardial effusion can cause heart failure or death.
Consult a cardiologist.

I haven’t heard of any disease being cured lately. In fact I can’t see what incentive the drug companies have to find a cure. In fact they seem to be inventing diseases to sale more drugs.
The side effects on drugs seem worse then what they are treating. I lost my sense of smell to a high blood pressure drug.
The DEA approves these drugs even though they kill and injure millions of people ever year.
What have the drug companies done to earn the right to be the only ones able to provide solutions to our health care problem?

it is pretty hard to cure something. the human body is complex. the FDA approves drugs though. the drug companies havent earned any right to provide solutions to the health care problem. you are free to.

ive have very high blood pressure, diabetes and liver problems, i have to take alot of tablets so i feel sick all the time . has anybody got a cure for nausea please??

Try ginger snap cookies. They work great for car sickness and that type of nausea. Hope you’re feeling better!

My dad now has a heart condition and he’s taking medicine for it. I know that it’s only a matter of time before I start developing it, too. luckily I found out that the tree in my front yard produces a fruit that can cure high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Only problem, I have to dry the fruit first to extract the medicine properly, and I don’t know how to do that without buying a dehydrator or food drier. Any tips?

medicine - yeah right!
when harvesting weed separate buds and leaves, dispose of the remaining stalks, dry your herb on a newspaper in a dry and warm room for awhile until most of the moisture is gone, buds should be put into plastic bag and cured for a month or few - this results in much mellower taste. note that you shouldn’t put them into plastic bag when they are still fresh - moisture might make some nasty fungi grow. leaves are best smoked in a bong not a regular pipe or you can make brownies

I have been working on a project for the past year experimenting with different drugs, chemicals, supplements, herbs, foods, exercises, sleep patterns etc. to come up with a solution to cure people of the ailments of depression, anxiety, lack of energy, irritability, and stress. I have a fairly good formula that works really well yet it increases blood pressure due to a higher adrenaline rate than normal. (The adrenaline is to give people energy). This includes a couple of foods, 2 drug pills, 2 supplements, a multivitamin, a certain amount of sleep per day, and a little exercise. Basically, you feel really great, things that aren’t so enjoyable are not so bad and things you somewhat enjoyed before, you really enjoy now. In addition the energy level is high, temptation to do bad things is low (because you are already happy) and you are more social and friendly b/c you are happy. Is it possible to take certain foods, supplements, or drugs to lower the blood pressure yet keep
adrenaline levels a little higher than normal?

There is a direct correlation between levels of the hormone adrenaline and blood pressure. On the other hand adrenaline production only lasts for a few minutes; after that the body returns to a more normal hormonal balance (adrenaline is very stressful on the body). blood pressure is a very complicated thing. You have to take into account people’s baseline blood pressure. Someone who has a normal BP of 120/70 can easily tolerate a 10 point rise in BP for either systolic or diastolic pressures. Someone with a baseline of 170/98 cannot easily tolerate any increase in blood pressure.

Heart disease is a serious illness but luckily it can be treated. Whilst there are no cures to speak of, some treatments do manage to successfully control the condition and help you to live a happy life. So what options are open to you then?

The Various Heart Disease Treatment Options Available

There are quite a lot of treatment options including medical treatment, self help treatment and alternative treatments to choose from. Basically it all depends upon your own personal preferences and it is always a good idea to visit your doctor before starting any treatments as they will be able to give you a good idea on whether or not they are right for you. Every person’s condition is different and whilst some sufferers of the disease may only suffer from angina, there are others who have suffered heart attacks or strokes.

So, once you have worked out the seriousness of your condition, it is then time to find the best heart disease treatment for you.

* Medical Treatments

Generally medical treatments are the best way to go. They have been tried and tested and most of them work. You will also be monitored by the doctor as you are taking the medication so that is another advantage as it makes the treatment safer.

Medications are available to treat high blood pressure, angina, heart failure and high blood cholesterol as well as many other heart problems. These treatments do need to be taken regularly and often beta blockers are one of the best medications to go for. Again it will depend upon what your doctor advises.

Another great medical treatment which works well to keep the heart beating regularly and safely is a pacemaker. Pacemakers are fitted into the body and attached the arteries of the heart. The device sends small electrical impulses and encourages the heart to beat.

There are also surgery options but before considering any type of surgery, always talk it through with your doctor.

* Alternative Treatment Options

Some people prefer to undergo alternative treatments, though it is worth remembering that medical treatments should also be taken.

Generally if you want to try out alternative treatments options then getting plenty of CoQ10 Protection is a good idea. GoQ10 Protection is a nutrient which naturally occurs in the body. It is known to reduce the blood pressure and you can also find it in meat and fish as well as in supplements.

There are many alternative treatments which are designed to help with the various symptoms of heart disease so if you are after something in particular visit your local health shop and ask the experts there whether they have anything suitable.

Overall the best heart disease treatments are usually medical ones. They work, they are monitored and they provide comfort for millions of people each year. Always talk to your doctor to ensure that you are getting the right treat options for you and that way you should start to realize the benefits of the treatment as soon as possible.

just in the last couple years have I been taking meds for it. The cure is worse than the illness. The medicines they have been giving me didnt bring it down much, so they loaded me up with 4x the original dose. Almost killed me, joint pain like you would not believe, Its been over a week now since I quit taking it and my wrists are still aching like crazy. So am I better off not taking the meds or should I look for some other way to lower my blood pressure?
when I stopped takng it, the doc prescribed another med, I took it the first day, could hardly get out of my chair. Havent taken another. I got to think that the cure is way worse that the sickness(If that is what it is). I would rather just die than suffer those side effects.

Never, and I mean never stop taking that med abruptly. You should have weaned yourself off of it. Going off that med like you did can cause your heart to beat irregularly. Your heart was regulated on this med. I don’t know your condition but you should have voiced this concern to the doctor. I take BP meds too. Try getting another opinion. It is your right to get an another opinion. Any doctor will tell you that. Please, reconsider. It is dangerous to go off that med. I have never had joint pain from taking a med but everyone is different and can have various side effect from any med that’s why you should tell your doctor. You may need another type of med because there are so many out there for high blood pressure. Hope this helps
Edit. If you took another one and still have the same feelings, them you may have another problem not even associated with high blood pressure or the med. Consult and Orthopedic doc. He may have an answer for you. You shouldn’t have to suffer such pain. I feel so bad for you. I really hope you can find out what the problem is, in the meantime, seek out another professional for your own sake. I wish you good health. Be blessed
