LOW BLOOD PRESSURE

[Guest guest]

Harold,

I've been searching " high blood pressure " sites this week and recall coming

across low blood

pressure on several occasions. Sorry, but I don't recall where. I've probably

looked at

dozens of sites. Perhaps a search on Google for " low blood pressure " would get

you started in

the right direction. You might also try a search on the Nat'l. Inst. of Health

web site. They

had quite a bit about hypertension there. I believe it is : http://www.nih.gov

You might also

try http://www.nhibi.nih.gov/ if the first doesn't help.

Good luck,

NHY

[ ] Low blood pressure

> Friends, My bloood pressure has measured 85 or 86 over 45 and 46 for the last

three tines it

has been measured. With a pulse of from 39 to about 45 I have Non Hodgkins

Lymphoma low grade.

Does anyone have an answer to this low blood pressure problem. I am very

fatigued from it

Maureen: Thank you for sharing a more intimate glimps of your life.

I have as yet no solution tomy extrememly low blood pressure

My blood pressure was 104/39 with pulse at 64. I had been running errands, so I

think pulse would have been lower, had I sat down for a while. I'm concerned

about the 39 number. I have had tumors under my arms. I had three surgeries

last year to remove a few of them. They were lymph nodes and other tissue that

was not normal, but not yet fully cancerous.

Now I have a few more tumors that the doctor wants to biopsy, and they are

spread to under both arms. Does the low blood pressure of 39 mean anything? I

am eating a fully raw diet since May 19th. Just fruits, veggies, nuts and

seeds. I like it and am happy eating this way. I love to garden, so it's given

me something positive to do. I'm eating mostly organic.

Stress in my life is still present with a teenage son always in trouble with the

law, school, neighbors, etc... I am reading healing books. I've joined

support groups to deal with son. Also, I'm considering a major move to a place

that may give me more desire to live the life I really want, but don't have the

funds yet. My duty to kids and husband is keeping me here. I'm starting to

think about what I really want in life now that I know there is not an infinite

amount of my life left.

Hello,

When my Blood pressure gets low and also

my energy level plummets I drink salt

water. This was prescribed by a physician

many years ago and is seems to work for me.

The Natural Hygiene diet, raw fruits, nuts and

vegetables, when I tried it, I felt like I was

floating on air. Great diet to meditate.

They offcourse say that table salt is a poison.

Do not know who is right.

Celtic sea salt is usually advised by those who do research and those who have

healed themselves of cancer. Hope this helps.

Before getting too concerned, perhaps you should have your pressure taken

elsewhere

with a different instrument. Many grocery stores have free BP check sites.

Perhaps your

instrument is defective, has a low battery, etc. While not as accurate as those

a doctor

would use, it would be at least like getting a second opinion. .

Harold,

Along time ago, I read an article in either Jama or a nursing periodical

about low blood pressure. It pretty much said that it is not treated as a

diagnosis here in the U.S., but in Europe, it was the 2nd most used

diagnosis. Here it only is signifigant in trauma and severe illness

basically, and treated as needed. I would investigate European sites. You

may have better luck with them.

[Guest guest]

Thank you Lexi, indeed I do need some help on this low blood pressure with a

pulse of 45. I feel so fatigued even a couple hours after I get up in the

morning. One person suggested a heart blockage.

================ I just came back from the Dr office and found this time

tha my blood pressure was 105 over 60 . The only thing i have been doing

differently is that I have doubled my hydrocloric acid and what't more I

have not been putting our so much gas. I have an idea that this will also

help in bringing my saliva Ph in themorning. We will see. Thanks again

Hi Fran and ...

I was curious about your comments on low blood pressure ~ and fatigue. How low

is low?? I tend to run low (95-110 over 45-60) ~ and I never thought of tying

it to fatigue...

(idaho)

[Guest guest]

Dear , since it's been at least 5 years since my blood pressure was

low, but normal, so it's hard to remember. I want to say that it normally

ran 98 over 65 or something like that. I believe " normal " is 120 over 80,

but I might be wrong. It's one of those figures that just never sticks in

my mind. (Though anymore not much is sticking in my mind these days...lol)

Hope that helps. It sounds like you are much lower than I was, especially

on the bottom number. I would ask your doctor about it the next time you

see him. it might be the fatigue is connected to your PA, but I know that

low blood pressure can make you tired too. Take care, Love, Fran

I know alittle about blood but I always look it up.

I use this siteFerritin - [Medical Test] - Quest Diagnostics Patient Health Library

you can put any lab test in the search part on this site and it will bring it up, when you look at it, look to the right on the page, there are links for further information on the test like results and what affects the test etc...

Iron Storage (Ferritin)

A ferritin blood test measures the amount of ferritin in the blood. Ferritin is a protein in the body that binds to iron; most of the iron stored in the body is attached to ferritin. Ferritin is found in the liver , spleen , skeletal muscles, and bone marrow. Only a small amount is found in the blood. The amount of ferritin in the blood indicates the amount of iron stored in your body.

A ferritin blood test measures the amount of ferritin in the blood. Ferritin is a protein in the body that binds to iron; most of the iron stored in the body is attached to ferritin.

Normal

Normal values may vary from lab to lab.

Ferritin

Men:

18–270 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL)

Women:

18–160 ng/mL

Children:

7–140 ng/mL

Infants (up to 5 months old):

25–200 ng/mL

High values

Very high ferritin levels (greater than 1,000 ng/mL) can indicate an abnormal buildup of iron in the body (hemochromatosis). One form of this condition is inherited (genetic hemochromatosis). Some diseases, including alcoholism, thalassemia, and some types of anemia that cause the rapid destruction of red blood cells, can also cause hemochromatosis. Also, receiving many blood transfusions can sometimes cause the body to store too much iron (acquired hemochromatosis). High ferritin levels may also be caused by liver disease (cirrhosis or hepatitis), Hodgkin's disease, leukemia, infection, a variety of inflammatory conditions (such as arthritis or lupus), or a diet that contains too much iron. Too much iron in body organs (such as the pancreas or heart) can affect the organ's function.

Low values

Low ferritin levels often indicate the presence of an iron deficiency that can be caused by long-term (chronic) blood loss from excessive menstrual bleeding, pregnancy, insufficient iron in the diet, or bleeding inside the intestinal tract (from ulcers, colon polyps, colon cancer, hemorrhoids, or other conditions). In rare cases, excess amounts of iron may be lost through the skin (because of a disease such as psoriasis) or in the urine.

Factors that can interfere with your test and the accuracy of the results include:

A blood transfusion within the past 4 months. Being a female athlete engaged in high-performance sports that alter the menstrual cycle. Conditions that cause significant inflammation in the body (such as from illness or as a result of surgery). A radioactive scan within the past 3 days. Medications, such as birth control pills and antithyroid medications. Age. Older adults may have a higher ferritin value. A diet high in red meats

A ferritin test is commonly done with other tests to measure the amount of iron in the blood, especially the iron and iron-binding capacity levels. For more information, see the medical test Iron. A bone marrow biopsy can evaluate the amount of iron stored in the bone marrow specifically. For more information, see the medical test Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy. Because inflammation can raise ferritin levels, a test result that is slightly high does not always indicate a buildup of iron (hemochromatosis).Here is the immunoglobinsImmunoglobulins - [Medical Test] - Quest Diagnostics Patient Health Library See what's free at AOL.com.

Does anybody have any suggestions to improve low blood pressure? I have had

low blood pressure for many years and I can't seem to get it higher,

Yesterday, it was 98/48...very alarming. I have taken at least a tsp of Celtic

sea salt a day for many years now with no improvement. I also get dehydrated

very easily even though I drink plenty of salt water thru out the day.

Yes, even though the doc thinks I don't need support, I self-medicate with 3

grains of Thyroid-S. I also take Hydrocortone, iodine and consume VCO.

I just can't seem to get my blood pressure up.

Yes you need fats to retain water and not become dehydrated.

are you eating enough good fats like Coconut oil and butter. I'm

talking 6=8 tablespoons aday..

Also drinking too much salt water a day might not be so great, I

would divide up your dosage and take no more than 1-2 teaspoons a day

including what you have in your food.

low blood pressure would also suggest not enough fats or protein in

your diet and possibly too much carbohydrate but then i'm not sure

what your eating or what your health history has come from.

I eat lots of fats. Lot of VCO, eggs, meats, etc. I stay away from processed

foods, breads, starch, etc.

How are your blood electrolytes? (Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium)

If you get dehydrated easy I would suspect that some or all of them are low

- I find it is especially important for me to get enough Potassium and

Magnesium. Can you use molasses? If so, you could try substituting it for

some of the salt in your daily water.

Also, check your diet and make sure you're getting the RDA of potassium and

magnesium. The pantry at www.nutritiondata.com can help with this.

There are all in the normal range. I supplement with Magnesiuim. But not

Potassium. It is my understanding that sodium chloride is good for the

adrenals.

I tend toward low blood pressure as well, and was wondering if you've

notice foods that make it worse? For me, watermelon plummets my

blood pressure. I've read it is good for people with high blood

pressure, because it dilates the blood vessels. Whatever, it makes

me very sick. I'm also wondering if eating too much of it raises my

potassium levels and I need something else to rebalance the minerals.

The reaction to watermelon could be a salicylate intolerance. Do any of the

other foods in the high columns on this list cause that reaction? (

I looked at the list and I consume a lot of some of the fruits on

there, but only have the reaction to watermelon (and msg/processed

foods sometimes) Usually as long as it's straight (not cooked or in

a sauce) I don't have problems with fruits or vegetables. Now that I

think about it, I have heard that MSG is used in agriculture...

No, I never made the connection with any foods lowering my BP. I do notice

taking my Celtic Sea Salt in water makes me feel good. Thanks for your input.

I will watch my BP when I eat high-potassium foods.

PH, I don't know that it would help raise your blood pressure . . . but when you use salt, make sure it's Sea Salt. . . It has a host of minerals that have been stripped out of table salt. . . . Like Magnesium! Do you feel faint when your pressure is low? . . . I usually have low blood pressure too . . . However, it depends on how long I've been at rest when it's taken. . . Taken right after a brisk walk, it looks a little on the high side. Ten minutes later, it's normal . . . After resting for an extended period, it's low. It was enough to get their attention when I had a surgical procedure . . . They asked me if it always did this. . . I don't know. Hugs, Rogene

Is 90/60 bad? I always thought low blood pressure was good, as long as it's not too low?

What IS too low??? Do I look at the top or bottom number???
