#1, I hope your friend sees a doctor/PA/NP for medical care.\n#2, The choice of the initial medication for high blood pressure depends on what other health problems he has (if any).\n\nYou need to DRAG him to the doctor's as soon as you can. He needs treatment NOW, to prevent much worse problems (heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, etc.) in the future.\n\nA good family practice or internal medicine provider can manage high blood pressure quite well. A cardiologist usually isn't needed.

Honestly, you need to speak with your hematologist.  I also have itp, and after a bad spell in 2002 and transfusions followed by steroids, luckily, my levels have been fairly steady, in the 65k-90k range generally.  I'd make sure that you are taking regular vitamins and just speak with your Dr.  Good luck!

You have to be careful taking herbal supplements.  They tried giving ginkoba to a bunch of elderly patients at a nursing home and it thins the blood which for them led to increased strokes!  The best thing to do is eat healthy, drink 8 glasses of water a day, and get a full nights sleep every night.  Also do things like crossword puzzles and stuff when you are sitting around the house.

Diffent centres have different recommendation for storage of whole blood. In some centres in theworld 35+days is also possible with modern preservatives. Individual blood components can be stored for evenlonger or shorter periods depending on their halflife and the utility intended. \n\nmore and more redblood cells in whole blood undergo haemolysis after a certain durarion of time. This releases potasium which is harmful in high levels in the transfusuion receipient if transfused in such a state.The nmber of Red blod cells also decrease with haemolysis. \n\nhaemoglobin from lysed cells are later found in free plasma and large levels of free Hb can clog renal tubules if transfused and result in renal failure. This is especially true in massive transfusions.\n\nThe 2,3 DPG levels in RBCs decrease considerably with the duration of storage and therefore make them unsuitable to release oxygen to tissues.\n\nThe current storage technique of whole blood limits its useful lifespan to 20-40 days depending on the facilities available. Maybe in the future with better techniques longer storage will be possible or better still we may have blood substitues that work better than blood especially especially for oxygenation of tissues.

Pure essential lemongrass oil. It'll work better than any med! About $8 for a .5 ounce bottle. If you hold the bottle up to your nose or drop 2 drops on a Kleenex or something, you'll have energy pronto. Just don't sniff too much an hour before retiring to bed.  I've been wanting to ask you: how is your brother? I've been dying to know!I've put 2 "questions" up asking, hoping you'd see them.             Poor guy . . darn, I wish those lousy doctors would do something for him!!His body is so sensitive with everything he's been through! I just hope to God that the medication they've given him, doesn't make him worse!If your family has the time and the means and the med doesn't work or makes him worse . . .maybe it would be worthwhile to visit an herbalist or alternative practitioner. Best of luck to you and your family. I hope everything works out. Feel free to email me, if you wish. I have a Leo rising and was curious about you and found we have at least a couple of things in common. If you click on urloveurloved, you can get my email address.

If you are high blood, let's talk about what you should do:\nGo for high fibre diet, green and yellow vegetables. Tofu if you may;\nWatch your intake. You may be overfed.\nExercise. Keep that booty moving;\nAnd keep some Aspirin(Aspelet) handy. \nNow, \navoid salty food. Salt has the tendency to retain water; \navoid anything fried, if you can, avoid anything prepared with fat;\nAvoid too much sugar and carbohydrates. These turns into fats(reserved and burnable energy as needed) when not used;\nAvoid too much meat. Get legumes and nuts for protein substitute.\nYou should also consult a dietitian to help you plan your diet. They would be the pro to be consulted for this matter.\n\nIf recommended by your doctor go FASTING.\n\nI hope this helps.

My choice would be one, Reliv Classic, because it works for me. I have congenital high cholesterol (over 300 normally) and my doctor prescripted Vytorin. I took it for a week and had such severe heartburn I could not sleep. My ex-wife had severe Scoliosis that her doctor said would only be corrected by a dangerous back surgery. It was 3 inches out of alignment, her back xray looked like an upside down question mark. After two weeks on Reliv her xray showed only 1 inch of misalignment cancelling the surgery and a month later her back was normal. So I tried it. Three weeks later, the doctor was amazed that the medicine had lower my cholesterol to 247, nearly a hundred points in just a month. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it wasn't the medicine and I switched doctor. My new doctor of course was alarmed that my cholesterol was 232. He too wanted to start me on Lipator. When I explained about the Reliv, he said that he would allow me two weeks to show improvement. Two weeks later, my cholesterol was 224. I have more energy, the doctor said that my liver test came back at 110% (Vytorin and Lipator both cause reduce liver function), and I have no heartburn. All the males in my family have died or had open heart surgery by age 55. I am 49 and the doctor says at this rate I will live to be 100 with a closed chest. Now you know why there is only one choice for me.

the best choice is a multivitamin 95% of the time.  Depending on your age and health concerns due to family history you should look into suppliments that help with\n- heart (lycopine)\n- prostate (there are many, I take saw palmento)\n- immune (zinc / garlic)

I would contact a hematologist so that you can have thorough exam...but I also want you to understand that there are normal high and low results...there are some people who don't conform to the norma...a normal WBC is 4.0 to 10.5..I would like that second opinion with a hematologist and ease my fears..As a nurse I would not speculate what it may be..and as I said it may be normal for you..I have cared for patients who has a normal temperature of 96 and if they have a fever it is 98.6 so see we are not all the same...good luck and I hope you get good news.

First thing the doctor would probably recommend is that she take aspirin barring any contraindications.  81mg per day has not been shown to be any better than 325mg per day (if my memory serves me correct).  The higher dose has just a higher incidence of GI bleeding without a decrease in incidence of TIA/CVA.\n\nIf she continues to have TIA's then the doctor would consider adding aspirin to a medication called Plavix (clopidogrel) or change aspiring to Aggrenox (aspirin/dipyridamole combination).\n\nIf she has a CVA, then she might be put on Coumadin (warfarin) also.\n\nLowering her LDL and total cholesterol and raising her HDL would probably be a priority too.  There are various medications out there which can do the trick depending on how low her cholesterol needs to come down.  That amount also depends on the other risk factors she may also have (diabetes, hypertension, etc.).\n\nAs for diet, a low cholesterol diet is historically best, but I think there is evolving research showing that perhaps it's really a balanced diet that works best.  If she can do exercise, that generally improves other medical conditions (diabetes, hypertension, HDL cholesterol) which may affect her health.

Tell your friend to go to the store and get a glucometer.  They can range from inexpensive to real expensive but most have mail in rebates which make the meter virtually free.  Any brand is good and the simpler the operation the better.Have her test her blood sugar once a day in the morning before she eats (fasting blood sugar, a good indicator of control).  The normal range is 80-120, anywhere within that range is good.  Most new kits come with a 10 day supply of everything and you can use the lancet (pricker, the thing with the needle on it) up to 4 times before it starts to dull.  Plus supplies can be bought over the counter.\n\nFoods to avoid:  Quick sugars, candy, anything with high fructose corn syrup, anything covered with sugar or sugary glaze, sugary cookies, table sugar, etc you get the idea\n\nFoods in moderation:  fresh fruits and fruit juices (some are very high in fruit sugar and some of the juices have high fructose corn syrup added), pies and cakes (small portions are good)\n\nFoods allowed: Pastas, rice, beans, meats, cereals ( hot cereals, not flavored-cold cereals, not sugar coated or flavored), juices (citrus, cranberry, lite or no sugar added),applesauce (no sugar added), vegetables (fresh or canned), etc.\n\nHave your friend  call the local hospital and ask for the dietician. Have her explain the situation and take her advice.  If she needs to make an appointment then do it.\n\nShe must take a proactive attitude and get all the information she can.  She can also go to the library and get books on diabetic diets and cooking.  As her friend look up American Diabetic Associan on the web, they have a site for recipes and other information that will be helpful.  Good Luck!

sugar should be between 50 and 60, BP is better around 110/80, but my dr. wants mine at 110/70 because High BP killed my dad at age 36 and runs in the family on my father's side, so does diabetes. My cholesterol was 307, very dangerous, was put on Vytorin 10/80 mg. a yr. ago and it is 168 now which is very good. Losing weight drops both BP and cholesterol. Eat more fiber, fruits veggies, less red meat. Red meat is "killing our colons". Of course if your blood pressure is high and you have any heart problems, exercise slowly, nothing too strenuous. Walking is good, swimming is excellent and causes very little stress on our body. any other questions can be found online under medical terminologies or PDR book (Physicians Desk Reference.) Good luck. Also, Fish Oil capsules 1000 mgs twice a day is helping to lower my cholesterol.
