High blood pressure

I agree. See a specialist and get some really good experienced advice. Everyone is different and you need the right guy in your corner. The modern BP meds for the most part of really benign in their side effects for most but in some rare instances like this member can have problems.

What really gets me is how most of us have no problem injecting our bodies with foreign material we buy from under ground labs but when it comes to taking medicine prescribed from a doctor that comes from a US pharm grade manufacturer we balk. Find a good doctor and trust in them.

I could not agree more Maldorf. That is why (and I am sure I might get flamed for this) I am honest with my cardiologist about what I do. Therefore, I feel he is more open and helpful with me because I do not sit there and lie to his face.

Something you all might want to do is make a list of your supplements and drugs you take or are taking. My mom has this list in case something should happen to me where I cannot talk or tell them what is going on. Figured it could not hurt and might just help save my life if something terrible were to happen to me.

Love that more threads like this now populate PM these days.
userat204 has a nice list of supps and I most of the same at varying doses. I've said before and I'll say again, the two things which seems to have brought my BP down the most are reduced sodium intake and cardio. Now I'll be quick to follow that keeping test dose low [trt levels] also helps. But I was doing that prior to making a significant change in my daily sodium and weekly cardio. Last three months I'm seeing average BP in the 110/70 neighborhood without a BP Rx.

Just started a protocol of 1g garlic and 800mg coq10. I am not getting the bp headaches I usualy get so that seems to be helping after only a week.

Yeah, sodium is a major factor in regulating your BP. My father has always used the special salt at home for his food and I am thinking I should switch over myself. The salt is actually KCl instead of NaCl. The potassium chloride has a bit of a different flavor but its still good. I think some of the special salts out there are a mixture of the 2.
