Don't mix alcohol with meds! That's one of the first warnings on the packaging!

Yes, my wife and I have been drinking Xango for the past six months.  It's delicious.  I now have more energy, am more alert, and no longer need medication for high blood pressure and acid reflux.  I am also seeing improvements with psoriasis.  My wife has also seen her blood pressure go down to normal and is sleeping like a baby.  We personally know people who have gotten great results with Xango for migraine headaches, diabetes, and other conditions.

Interesting! I don't think modereate alcohol consumption can affect "performance" so I would suggest seeing a doctor about it! Are you sure you are not under a lot of stress at the minute?

Data from 51 studies showed a 20% decrease in heart disease risk when 0 to 2 alcoholic drinks were consumed per day, and light to moderate alcohol consumption was associated with an approximately 20% reduction in (ischemic) stroke risk. Some studies showed up to a 32% heart disease risk reduction while others showed no such beneficial effect, leading researchers to surmise that factors such as diet, exercise, or socioeconomic status might have been at work. However, red wine's chemical composition (alcohol and polyphenolic compounds, such as flavonoids and resveratrol) appears to help maintain healthy blood vessels. Regular alcohol consumption also appears to increase good (HDL) cholesterol by about 12%, and to carry away the bad (LDL) cholesterol so that it doesn't deposit itself in the blood vessels. In addition, those who consume light to moderate alcohol have less of the proteins that encourage blood clots to form. In spite of all this evidence, the researchers concluded that the evidence is still insufficient as light alcohol consumption has also been frequently shown to contribute to cardiovascular disorders and recommending alcohol use is risky due to other alcohol-related health concerns. The American Heart Association recommends discussing this with your physician.   The effect of alcohol on the brain is also being studied. A newly-released study of more than 11,000 nurses that was led by Harvard Medical School researchers definitively linked alcohol consumption and the brain with their finding that one drink or less per day prevents cognitive decline in women. Presumably, the same would apply to men, but requires further study.

Anything high in iron helps to build red blood cells, but does nothing for blood pressure. Potassium can help lower blood pressure, but I have no idea if Guinness has a lot of potassium. She could get the same results with vegetables or vitamins, so it is probably an excuse. Nothing is wrong with drinking one beer a day, though. In fact, doctors now say that ONE alcoholic beverage per day can help prevent heart attacks in the same way aspirin does, by thinning the blood. However, more than ONE per day can be detrimental to a person's health. If she is having one a day, I wouldn't worry about it.

exactly  the  opposite.\n\nif you heard that alcohol causes hypoglycaemia , you are mistaken. the hangover effects of alcohol are due to neuroglycopenia   which means decreased sugar in the brain  not  the whole circulation.\n\na  major cause of morbidity  from d.m.   is  diabetic  lypodystrophy     ( abnormal fat metabolism associated with diabetes mellitus) the  main charecteristics of which  are \n                 raised tryglycerides\n                 decreased  hdl  (good) cholesterol .\n\nalthough  regular intake of small amounts of wine has been shown to raise  hdl(good) cholesterol  , the overall effect of alcohol is detrimental  as it increases the triglycerides which  have been linked to cardiovascular disease.\n\nmy advice :\ntake very small amount of wine (nothing stronger ) every day if you have too , but its better to avoid.\n\nconcentrate on trying to solve the root problem of diabetes which is  burning  the sugar   by  \n                          strict regulation of food  and diet\n                          exercise exercise exercise exercise exercis\n                               cant stress this enough.\n                              (REMEMBER  always have pieces of candy at hand when doing severe exercise to take as emergency lifesaver  should your blood sugar go  too low, especially if you are on  insulin shots.)

My suggestion would be to NOT TAKE any of the current ED drugs before speaking to your physician. For one, they could interact with your blood pressure medicine, causing undesired results, including death. Also, you may have an underlying (although asymptomatic) heart condition related to your hypertension (high blood pressure) which could lead to serious complications. Inform your physician about your current medications and health problems, and he/she will be able to guide your treatment in the best way.

Side Effects\nFor individuals who are sodium-sensitive, an increased intake of sodium may contribute to high blood pressure. Therefore, people with high blood pressure may be advised to reduce sodium intake; all patients with high blood pressure should discuss this issue with their doctor. Reducing sodium can also reduce the side effects from certain prescription medications.\nIn addition, sodium may lead to fluid retention in patients with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, or kidney disease. These patients should be on strict sodium-restricted diets as prescribed by their doctor.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Sodium in diet.

Well, if 1000 people had their BP measured we might expect to find a spread of readings ranging from as high as 200 / 120 down to as low as 80 / 50 with most people clustering around the middle of the range at around 130 / 85. The vast majority of these people would have no symptoms of any kind – no matter what their BP reading actually was. \n\n\nthere are many cuases of Low blood pressure or hypotension\n\nMedications for anxiety \nMedications for blood pressure \nHeart medications \nDiuretics or “water tablets” \nSome anti-depressant medications \nSome painkillers \nAlcohol (although you should note that alcohol can also be a cause of high blood pressure) \nDehydration \nHeart disease \nHeart valve disease \nRecent heart attack \nChanges in heart rhythm \nBacterial infection in the system \nKidney diseases \nDiabetes mellitus \nHaemorrhage or bleeding \nDiseases of the nervous system like Parkinson's Disease \n\n Well basic treatment is 'to treat the cause" because hypotension is mostly related to some disease........so its better to find out the cause  and treat it.as mentioned above it does'nt make much difference if your BP drops to to extend.but drastic decrease is an indication to see a doctor.....well it can lead to shock..which is later treated with dopamine or dobutamine. n with fluids after ruling out the danger of overload.....generaly if there is small drop of BP, then it can be covered with dietry method, u take rich food,more fluids,  protein rich food etc  some other  peoples ahve their basline BP as low ...so they are adapted to that  and doen't make any difference for them  but for a person whose BP is generaly high and it drops down then its better to pay attension,either antihypertesive drugs are more than needed or any other cause.. \nbut basic treatment is 'treat the cause' i must say.

Check to see if you can find a PDR.com site.\nThe PDR explains every drug and its effects.

Absolutely NO, no drugs for now.\n\nA lot of causes could be give up Blood Pressure in a NORMAL person.\n\nIn first place you need to VERIFY if you REALLY have High Blood Pressure.  Taking the BP in different days and different hours of the day.\n\nNo a single Blood Pressure value make the diagnosis of Hypertension\n\nGo to the doctor.\n\nRegards

the american heart association has a lot of good info.\n\nFor taking blood pressure purchase them a digital BP cuff - you just slide it on your arm and push a button - it will inflate & deflate and display the results on a screen.  Many of them will also save the results up to 10 tests.\nThey also come in large display models for older people with sight impairments also.

Depends greatly on your medication. It is ALWAYS a good idea to ask your doctor about possible drug interactions with alcohol.  It should also say on the side effects issued to you by the pharmacist.
