Roland asked:


I have been a vegan for 2 years and recently I moved into a Fruitarian diet. However I take 1 medication but my numbers keep changing.
In the morning they seems to be ok 134/83 but on night time they raise to 148/98. I am a Fruitarian-Rawfoodist I am 155 for 6.2. I always had high blood pressure but I was hoping that turning into a Fruitarian diet I will have normal readings and get off medications. Also I must say that my readings are better now than they were when I was a vegan. What can I do??

Thanks

I’ve just recently (the last 2 weeks) found out that I have very high blood pressure. I’m female, 26 years old, overweight and used to smoke one pack of cigarettes a day until 4 days ago (I actually threw my cigs away and went cold turkey after 14 years of smoking ).
2 weeks ago my blood pressure was 164/80. Today when I went in for my check-up it was 160/100. My doctor said we have to wait awhile to see the results of lowered blood pressure from quitting smoking. I also have to lose some weight.
My doctor said he won’t put me on medication because I’m so young and he thinks I can lower my blood pressure on my own through no longer smoking, dieting and exercise.
Personally, I am kind of scared that I might keel over at any moment from a stroke. Should I believe in my doctor? Is he right not to prescribe meds? Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

if i understant correctly high blood pressure is caused by plaque build up on the walls of blood vesses. blood pressure medication is basically blood thinners. is there any way to clean the plaque outta the blood vessels by way of special diet or excersize or is it stuck there forever. i don’t have high blood pressure now but it runs in the family and i want to take steps to avoid it now. also is it tied in with cholestorol?

Ok I asked this earlier but I didn’t include enough information. I am an 18 year old highschool student. I’m 5′11″ and 138 pounds. I am an avid runner, I’ve run a marathon and I’m on track and cross country. I have a very healthy diet although I do eat quite a bit of junk food on the side.

Here’s my question, my resting blood pressure is around 140/80 with a pulse of 54-ish. It has been as high as 170/80 and as low as 130/70. I have an enlarged left ventricle but my doctor said it wasn’t a problem. Is this bad/serious? As for family history, my entire family has very low blood pressure (my dad is 110/65 ish and my mom is only a little higher).

Also, I just checked my bp at a shoppers drug mart after a one hour run last night. I had rested for 2 minutes before I took it but it was 160/76. It wasn’t much higher than my normal resting bp.

I don’t know much about how this all works but I’m worried about if I should keep running.

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.
no pets at home; I am allegeric to pet dander
I forgot to mention that my doctor gave me a month to lower my pressure on my own without meds. Also, does me being anemic (because I am) has anything to do with the high blood pressure?

When I get ticked off my heart starts racing, my face turns red and feels hot.. and I also get light headed. When my fiance makes me mad it may last 2-3 minutes. If it’s something that makes me mad.. and it doesn’t settle well with me.. then it could last up to an hour.

Background info: I’m 22, I’ve been smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 3 years. I’m an average weight, but I had a horrible diet.
