I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, help!
>>77211659Has anyone else experienced high blood pressure?How did you lower your blood pressure?Any advice or tricks?
>>77211664I just started being a chill guy, and the high BP went away. Simple as.
>>77211659If you're already not very lean then dropping some fat will help immensely. Also consider lifting lmao. Maybe get on some oral minoxidil for the balding too.
>>77211659What's your BP?
>>77211675What balding?Im not balding, at least I dont think so
>>77211687165/98
Telmisartan is the gold standard. Don’t let them give you lisinopril, it lowers test levels
>>77211711God damn, that's really bad. Who took your BP and have you been to the doctor?
>>77211715I got a blood pressure test at a pharmacy, I am due to see my doctor.
>>77211739Oh, well those automated cuffs can be really inaccurate. And for your sake I hope it is because 180 is the area where you need to go to a hospital ASAP before you have a stroke/heart attack/organ rupture.
>>77211745Nah, it was done by a person, with a machine, in the UK.He looked shocked when he saw my reading lol
>>77211659switch to Celtic salt and practice deep breathes
>>77211664>min-maxing sleep>using lite-salt tm instead of regular table salt>adding beet root powder to my daily lemonade>taking probiotics for the beet root powder so I don't shit myself145/90 to 130/80. Still a bit high because I'm taking an ECA stack for weightloss. However my sense of smell has gotten better.>>77211748People can be retarded. Cuff size and how high it is compared to your heart and how you sit/stand makes a difference. Also my left arm reads higher than my right arm. I work at a hospital and we do physicals every year to determine how much we pay for health insurance. After learning how to properly get BP, I've learned none of the nurses doing the physicals know how to do it right. They struggle to draw blood. They even fuck up measuring people's height.
>>77211664Potassium (no salt), vit b2, lose weight, lower sodium, and exercise are the few natural things you can do
>dad has a free bp monitor he never used>see it, use it for fun>165/80>now noided, tracking it 3x daily and cutting out salt, upping potassium, etc>have basically no risk factors aside from geneticsI don't even know if it's accurate but my mom and sister have high bp. My last actual doctor visit 6 months ago had it at 120/70. I don't want to pay $150 and get behind at work for another visit. Gonna watch it for a while.
>>77211964How would you ensure an accurate reading? So I know for next time.
>>77211659Bisprolol has ruined my erections. At only 2.5mg a day. Not even Cialis and Viagra work as well as they did now. I think I'm fucked(no pun intended). I'm thinking about dropping Bisprolol for good. Maybe finding some alternative that doesn't interfere with erections.
>>77212163Ok
>>77211659Grapefruit juice, l citrulline and cialis combination will kill your blood pressure in no time
I have had "high" blood pressure for 30 years. It's bullshit designed to sell drugs. Your health is 90% determined by what you eat.
>>77212340There is a lot of very convincing science linking high blood pressure to negative health outcomes
>>77212340Idk if it's BS. I'm still pretty young, so I can't really tell the longterm effect per se. I'm fit but not /fit/, and I don't do nearly enough cardio. But that being said, I've always tested relatively high compared to what I should for my age group. I do feel fine and never felt that it impacted me. But, that being said, I've always heard that high blood pressure weakens the walls of your arteries. Like, you got a system that is built for a certain pressure and force, and you are running higher than spec. Kind of like how Toyota engines were historically bulletproof for being overbuilt, but then when you rice it, it explodes.Makes sense to me.
>>77212158Make sure to tell the nurse or doctor that a schizo on reddit told you that non-whites in the medical field are incompetent and that you want a white to take your BP.Forgot to add some automatic BP machines use a microphone. The cuff cuts off bloodfloow and slowly lowers pressure and loosens. The mic can pic up the sound when the blood stops and starts flowing. Ambient noises can throw it off.
>>77211659Isometric holds and sauna. Not at the same time lol
>>77211964>Cuff size and how high it is compared to your heart and how you sit/stand makes a difference. Also my left arm reads higher than my right arm.stop coddling the other anonplacing it wrong will not give those kinds of resultsi take my BP regularly and have tried different cuff positions, wrapping it softer/harder etc.you won't get results in the extreme
>>77211659high blood pressure is jewish lies.
>>77212426Speaking of being out of spec, my medic uncle said that if you brain is used to running on higher bp, lowering it too far will impact your ability to think. I wonder why your arteries wouldn't adapt and toughen up if they deal with higher pressures.
>>77211713You're a fucking retard. Different classes of BP meds are prescribed for different causes of high BP.But then again, anyone stupid enough to take advice from 4chan instead of a doctor deserves whatever happens to them.
>>77211664Former fat ass here who’s had high blood pressure for 10 yearsThe only things that’s worked is medication, reducing sodium and losing weight.The beet powder juice is bullshit. I’ve had readings over 190/140 and even medicated I was at 140/100 for years until my eyes started getting fucked up. I’m still on medication though my BP is Normal or sometimes low, like 80/53 but I’m also taking roids so
>>77211748>a personwhat person, idiot?
>>77212847What happened with your eyes? I'm >>77212155 and I get randomly blurry vision in either eye (not at the same time) but the eye doctor said they were fine. The blurriness doesn't correspond to anything that'd raise my bp.
>>77212847>I’m also taking roids That might be doing it lol>>77212848>what person?The pharmacist.I meant done by a person vs an automatic machine.
>be retard taking /fit/ seriously>cut cardio>cut leafy greens, whole grains and other veggies>eat shitloads of cheap beef, milk and peanut butter>roid a lot>die some day in sauna at 22KEKEK
>>77212870Double vision. I have astigmatism, but I started noticing my night vision went to shit, and jut seeing blurs.When I went to get a new pair of glasses I got tested and had double vision so I have to wear these thick ass prism glasses even when shaved down. Eye doc said my uncontrolled blood pressure probably fucked my eyes. I also woke up one morning and noticed one of my eyes was misaligned. Like I was staring cross eyed. It went back to normal but that sucked ass
>>77212874No I had the eye problems before the weight lossWhich is why I do test and not enclomiphene
>100/80 and I don't even do that much cardioI'm living to 100
>>77212902>Just go for brisk walks, maybe a little parkour, do yoga, and eat veganBetter to die desu
Buy blood pressure meter to your home use. If you go to doc or pharmacy you may simply have anxiety (white collar bp called) whereas normal 140 / 85 pressure goes up to 170 / 100 easilymost accurate measures at home. omrom m3 is very accurate, 80 bucks. m2 is 40 bucks.also keep hand at heart level when ding the measuring. no caffeine 1 hour before. wrist meters are not good at all, buy arm cuff meterif you have high bp it's likely high blood sugar and too much fructose in diet as your liver cannot metabolize it all. cutting sugar sodas and fruit juices will help a lot if you drink any of those. sugar free sodas are fine. salt has only neglible effect on bp
>lose weight >med diet>dont smoke>avoid alcoholt.medfag
>>77213363Good sleep made the biggest difference for me. High BP reduces sleep quality which in turn can raise BP.
>>77213228but i like fruit :(
>>77211659110/70 mmHg master race reportingno clue about you thoughnever had high blood pressure, so never had to worry about it>>77213226>100/80that's... not good anoneither you're dehydrated, stressed, have anxiety etc.or your heart as some kind of problem100/80 means it's pumping not strong enough
