High blood pressure question? |
I went to my doctor last tuesday, and my blood pressure was 140/90. Now, I must say that I am obese, but I have cut out all the junk food and fast food from my diet, drastically reduced my sodium intake, eating more fruit and veggies, and exercising more (I'm using the stationary bike and my mini step and I am powerwalking). I am also drinking more water and none of the sugary stuff like soda. My dr. gave me a month, to see if my pressure goes down. There are other factors though: I have been taking allergy medication, like Alavert and claritin, and I have been stressed lately, and my cholestrol level is 161 (down from 239) but my triglycerides is 178 (a bit high) My question is: besides, the things I mentioned above, what else can I do to lower my blood pressure. FYI: I also have a juicer , so if you have any natural juice receipes I could use that would lower my b.p. that will be great. I honestly think you are off to a good start. Keep up the program and I'm sure you will see results. The big picture depends on you staying with a healthy program. And if you still have to go on meds to control the blood pressure - so be it - but still STAY WITH THE HEALTHY PROGRAM! just relax. Stressing out isn't going to help you any. Alavert and claritin won't raise blood pressure, but decongestants like sudafed will. Meditation is good for stress, but so is the exercise. Sounds like you're on the right track, though, good luck! Problem with a juicer is you dont get the fibre, Yoga...or meditation. Do you own a pet? Sitting with your pet, loving it (petting), watching your fish swim in a fish tank...listening to some quiet peaceful music... It sounds like you are doing all that you can. Keep up the good work and when you go back to the doc if your pressure is not down, you may have to take a diuretic or even a mild antihypertensive. I think it is wonderful that you are acutally trying to fix the problem with healthy living, most people would rather just take a pill! Keep up the good work! |
