How's your blood pressure? Have you been able to keep fluids down? This is too complicated without running some tests. You may want to go see your doctor or go to the ER.

High Blood Pressure treatment\nFirst look at the reasons for having a high blood pressure. Once you identify the reasons for your elevated blood pressure, try to eliminate them.\nIn general, switching over to a healthier lifestyle can control the high blood pressure. Follow the following recommendations to keep your blood pressure at healthier levels without the need for medication:\nRemove your cause of mental tension or stress or worries. If the reason is your office, discuss the problem with your colleagues and seniors. Don't keep the problem with you. Mental tensions can often be reduced by a brisk walk, laugh loudly and relaxation or meditation. In fact, if you daily practice meditation, you can control your blood pressure for ever.\nMaintain your weight. Exercise more often. Since excess body fat is a primary risk factor in hypertension, it is important to maintain a healthy weight.\nBe physically active. Brisk walking, bicycling, raking leaves, and gardening are the best exercises.\nFollow a low fat diet. Eliminate cholesterol in your diet.\nEliminate salt from your diet. Look at the salt content of tinned foods, snacks, potato chips, French fries, diet soft drinks, sauces, etc. These are high in salt, don't eat them. Do not eat foods that contain soda, sodium, Na, monosodium glutamate, baking soda and preservatives. Read the food labels carefully. With herbs, spices, garlic and onions, you can make your food tasty without salt.\nRestrict consumption of refined sugars. Read the lables and note different names of sugars.\nA high fiber diet is recommended.\nIncrease intake of potassium, magnesium, calcium and vitamin C. Potassium rich foods include banana, orange, tangerine, beans, dried peas,potatoes, etc.\nMagnesium rich foods include almonds, cashews, pecans, rice, banana, potatoes, kidney beans, oat bran, peas, soy, wheat germ, etc.\nCalcium rich foods include low fat dairy foods, nuts, watercress, kale, broccoli, turnip greens, collard greens, mustard greens, etc.\nGarlic helps reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.

First, only your Doctor should prescribe a medicine for hypertension....\n\nI have been on Atenolol for over 5 yrs, and it has worked fabulously.  It is relatively cheap ( Under $30 per mo. ) \n\nLIFESTYLE changes, reducing stress, moderate aerobic exercise ALL contribute to reducing BP normally...\n\nDo a Google Search for Homeopathic HYpertension Treatments

Your first bet is to minimize the salt you eat.  Cook with less and eat with less. You salt intake has alot to do with your blood pressure. High blood pressure or Hypertension is caused by high levels of sodium. Cut down on your pork intake such as eliminating bacon and such.  \nKeep up with the recommended vitamin servings you should get a day\nGood Luck

Hi Smoothladyb.  I am a retired Chiropractor so I will suggest a good Chiropractic evaluation, but I would like to make a couple of additional comments.\n\nYour condition is very unusual, which makes it very challenging for any doctor to 'sort out'.  However, just because your symptoms are unusual it does not mean they are not real!\n\nYears of experience (meaning my many screw-ups that turned into learning experiences) have taught me that when the patient has a strong sense about the cause of their condition it often 'pays off' to listen to their insights.  So, if you truly feel like you are dealing with a circulation problem, continue to push your doctors to evaluate that.\n\nYour hypertension and kidney issues clearly indicate that you have problems with your vascular endothelium (the lining inside your arteries).  It doesn't sound like your doctors are addressing this underlying problem, but rather, are merely treating the sign of the problem - the hypertension.  It may be a good idea to find a doc that is more focused on treating CAUSE rather than signs and symptoms.  A good Naturopathic Physician, Chiropractor, or Medical Doctor interested in 'Functional Medicine' may be able to help you.  You can find a list of Functional Medicine docs on the website for "The Institute of Functional Medicine" (just do a web search of that name to find their website).\n\nAn excellent book on Hypertension and related cardiovascular issues just came out called:  "The High Blood Pressure Hoax".  It is written by Sherry Rogers, M.D. and covers a large variety of underyling causes of hypertension and damage to your endothelium (issues that most medical doctors don't care enough about to educate themselves on).\n\nThe last time I checked, this new book was not yet available at Amazon.com, but it may now be there.  If not, you can order directly from the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.  I highly recommend this book for someone like you who clearly has the intelligence and motivation to do a little 'real' learning about your health.\n\nAnother book on hypertension that I might suggest for you is by Mark Houston, M.D., professor of cardiology at Vanderbilt Medical School.  The book is called: "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypertension".  This book is available at Amazon.com for only $10.17.  I have heard Dr. Houston lecture at professional educational semiars and his info. is cutting edge 'medicine'.\n\nI hope this long discourse has been helpful to you.  Best wishes and good luck.

Your kidneys are not able to filter if you have a systolic BP under 72-70. \n\nDehydration can cause low blood pressure, so be sure you are drinking 6-8 glasses fluid/day (drinks containing caffeine act as a diuretic and do not count).\n\nNormal BP range is considered between 90/60 - 130/80, though pregnant woman can go as low as 80/50.\n\nIf are experience dizziness, lightheadedness, faint, or have any other problems, call your doctor.\n\nBe sure you are seeing your doctor at least once a year for a well checkup.

There are several things you can do for hypertension that can have a powerful effect:\n1. Lose weight if you are overweight.\n2. Exercise regularly, even if it is only walking.\n3. Follow the DASH eating plan, which is proven to lower blood pressure: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/hbp/dash/\n4. Discontinue the use of stimulants, including caffeine and tobacco. Look for hidden sources of stimulants in food and beverages.\n5. Take calcium and magnesium. (Low intake of both are associated with high blood pressure; women need between 1,000 and 1,500 mg of calcium per day; men no more than 1,200 mg daily from all sources. If you get your calcium from supplements, take half as much magnesium as your calcium dosage.) \n6. Take vitamin C, which has been shown to lower blood pressure in people with mild to moderate hypertension.\n7. Take omega 3 supplements (fish oil).\n\nGarlic and niacin, suggested above, while helpful for cholesterol, aren't remedies for hypertension.

Dear Crystal***\n\nI have very low blood pressure, anaemia  and before anyone says eat this and eat that, I have always had low blood pressure, anaemia and constantly (seasonal), have sinus attacks.. So much so I had to have x2 operations to clear the right and the left sinus passages.  etc, etc.\n\nI have always had to take iron tablets, which combat the dizzy and tired feelings.  The minute I do not take the tablets, and monthly vitamin B injections, I start the dizzy / tired feelings again.  \n\nBy the way, are you a small lady.  I am 41kg and 5ft3".  Small lady's are most likely to suffer from low blood pressure.  You must also take an extremely good vitamin tablet and caltrate plus for your bones etc.  DAILY.\n\nand,  having sinusitus (chronic) leaves you feeling "drunk", lightheaded, because of all the congestion.  Big worry is when your nose (the gooeeeeeyyyy stuff inside) cannot be "blown" out.\nYou need to get homeopathic drops to be taken daily, called Sambuccus Comp. Drops "Weleda".  I don"t know if you can get this where you are.  I use it daily.   It definately relieves your sinus, and relieves the dizzy, vertigo feeling.  If it does not you must be referred to an ear, nose and throat specialist by your doctor.\nlove peppa-anne\n**p.s.  do try vit. B and iron tab's.

These are all good recommendations. I do recommend consulting a physician to determine 1. if you do have high blood pressure, 2. what is the cause, 3. what are your treatment options, and 4. do you need to be screened for heart disease and high cholesterol. Sometimes high blood pressure can simply be treated with what is called lifestyle modifications: exercise, low fat diet, reduce salt intake, etc. However, sometimes a medication or two need to be added to bring the blood pressure down. Hypertension can be sign of other things: heart diseae, sleep apnea, kidney disease, etc, and therefore further evaluation may be necessary.
