The past 2 wks my blood pressure's been way up, i've been to the Dr, and go again tomorrow. So, if you would, please take the time to ask God to bless me with some good numbers in the very near future. I'm on bp meds, but, right now i don't feel all that good. Thanks for looking.
I am sorry to hear about your BP. I know that stress can really pushed up the BP. I had a server issue with a client that went on for a week and my BP went way up; not A&E level but they were scary high. I may have to go on meds. I need to see if I can get registered with the new clinic here. I do know that cocoa can help with BP as well as yogurt, blueberries, celery. I have been drinking cocoa with no sugar and limiting my caffeine. I think the cocoa is helping. It is not as tasty if it had sugar in it but sugar is not good for the arteries. Avocados are good because they contain magnesium and potassium. Avocados have more potassium than bananas. I just wish they were not so expensive. I get them when the local Aldi has them at a good price.
Sometimes they have to try a few different meds to find the one that works for you. I sure they find a good BP med for you. Another food that is listed as helping with BP is beets; if you like beets.
Sending your way, take a deep breath and count to ten. Remember life is 10% situation 90% reaction. I know it might not be easy for some, just chill. God grant me the serenity to accept what I can not change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. read this everyday growing up Mom embroidered it and it hung over our kids toilet.
The thing about HBP is that there could be many causes. Stress could be one of them although there are many afflicted with the condition where stress plays little if any part in it.
Not to detract or distract the thread. But it's interesting that your Mom hung the Serenity Prayer above the kids toilet. They are words to live by.
You’re right- beet juice is an EXCELLENT way to help naturally lower blood pressure. Study after study, it just works.
