High Blood Pressure

[MethodAir]

130/72-74 is within a normal range. No reason at all to be considering diuretics or blood pressure meds at this stage. Like Mac said, there are powerful natural treatments if BP is an issue (they can't be patented by pharmaceutical companies so your doctor probably won't mention them).

from my understanding 130/72 is prehypertension. I'm going to look into those natural treatments, but first I have to make sure everything is okay

If your doc is concerned, does she (I saw you mentioned a "she" earlier...) suggest OTC supps before prescription meds? As mentioned above if you just google OTC treatment for high BP, there are a variety of things you can start with before getting into the script stuff. Among them: CoQ10 (Uniquinol seems to be the latest hot flavor of this) + Red Yeast Rice. Also niacin. But do some research w/ Dr. Google and also bring this up to your doc as alternatives to throwing in statins or things like that.

And also as mentioned above, to help isolate the true nature of things, eliminate some of the supps to simplify the testing environment and see if you still have issues.

My GP isn't very keen towards natural alternatives, but if it works I don't think she would disagree. Yeah its been 1 week since I dropped the creatine, so readings should be accurate now.

I have been on prescription BP medicine for years after my doctor kept monitoring it as it elevated. I have a family history and was in my early 40s when he wanted to pull the trigger and not fuck around with it. Since then, one pill a day and my BP is perfect.

Even if you have to eventually go on a prescription for it, just take it and you'll be fine. Most people that have issues with it stop taking it on their own once they see the pressure normal at their last doctor's visit. That's the worst thing you can do. Keep taking it and all is well.

There is no absolute consensus on what 'normal' is as it differs from person to person. Some people wake up in the morning with 85/55 BP and a resting heart rate of 45 bpm, and that works for them. Your diastolic bp is fine by any definition. If you're worried about your heart, try and get an echocardiogram done.

My BP was 140/80 at the doctors and they put me on BP meds. Hated, hated the feeling and the fact it was my only prescription med taken in 35 yrs.

Took an alternative route using celery seed extract and ubiquinol. My BP, now is 120/65 but still rises to 150/85 in the doctors office. In fact, taking them together can drop it too low. The shit works!

Don't fall victim to big pharma.

That wasn't high blood pressure.

I wish you would have gotten a second opinion before being placed on meds.

Hi everyone! I'm 18 and lately my blood pressure has been around 130-132/72-74 at home and. I had 2 urine analysis done and the first one had slight protein in urine which was taken in the afternoon and the last one taken in the morning was completely normal. I spoke to my doctor about it and she took my blood pressure and it was 138/72 and she had me get an ekg and the result was good nothing bad was found. So, then I went to the doctor and she wanted an icg done and it showed everything was okay except I was holding more than normal water. I took 5g of creatine the night before when before I worked out. Also, when I got the Icg she took my blood pressure and it was 144/82 and she then talked about a diuretic and an ace inhibitor. So they did someblood work to she if something was wrong with my kidneys and none of the markers showed anything indicative of wrong with being wrong with my kidneys, but she said my testosterone was low(blood taken around 3pm). She then said its probably best for me to see a nephrologist to see if something is wrong with my kidneys. I was wondering if anybody has experienced anything like this before and what happened. I don't take anything at the moment that would increase my blood pressure, and won't in the future till my blood pressure issue is resolved. I have a family history of high blood pressure my father and both my grandfathers have it. I have noticed that my bodybuilding progress is very minor and very hard to have good workouts and that for some reason I have started to add more fat and tired all the time. I don't take any PED's or any rec drugs.

What is your diet like?
Also do you drink coffee and also take any supplements with caffeine in them?

Indeed.

These days I have a mistrust of doctors until they gain it. Spent the first 15 years of my life at the doctors and hospitals all too frequently.

Did you try alternative (non-prescription) methods to keep it in check?

Higher carb, mod protein, lower fat.
don't do anything over 6oz for protein.
No usually never drink coffee at all or supps with caffeine, yes I have them maybe 3-4 weeks out of the year but that's it.

The only thing that could mess up the results was the carb powder I had with creatine and I would only take it maybe 1 or 2 days a week if that sometimes I wouldn't use it once a month.Never used it a whole lot. Usually I just use a gatorade with BCAA's intra workout. I havent taken anything for the past week except a multi, probiotic, and essential fatty acids for supps.

woah, I'm not getting this at all. All the things I looked at it says that a systolic of 140 or higher is high blood pressure. I don't know, but this is what I read?
