I take real ginger root and cut off a 2 inch piece. I then cut

that into smaller sizes. I boil it for about 10 minutes and drink

it warm.

It works instantly, try it!

Protonix better?

They gave me

there. What do

you do with a

Many

Re:

Hospitalized

with very high

BP

I

had a bad

hypertensive

crisis once.

It was the

omeprazole.

Check this

out.. this is

how I found

out about

omeprazole.

Also proton

pump

inhibitors are

no good

because they

interfere with

good acid in

the stomach.

Proton pump

inhibitor

causes C-diff,

which will

cause

diarrhea.

One issue

is are you

salt depleted

with the hot

weather and

the

eplerenone?

Recommend

you take your

BP seated and

then stand for

1 min with arm

supported so

the cuff is at

heart level

and check the

BP again. If

is drops by

more that 20

this suggests

that you may

be salt

depelted and

more salt may

actually help.

Did your

BP fall a lot

in the

hospital as

the numbers

are if

anything low

on the record

you sent but

they may have

loaded you up

with BP meds.

Did they

stop or taper

the metformin.

You were on

a lot as I

recall.

What

other meds

have been

tired for DM?

Has your

weight been

stable during

all of this?

How they

take your BP

when it was

230/130. Were

you in pain or

acutely ill?

Hi

Dr. Grim and

the group,

I

again was

hospitalized

with BP

230/130 and

spent five

days in the

hospital. I

don't have yet

all medical

records from

the hospital,

but I have

Report from

MRI without

contrast and

some blood

test results.

See the

attachment.

I

also have

images from

MRI in case if

Dr. Grim would

like to take a

look at them.

Please,

note, that my

blood K was

5.0 and blood

Na was 132,

pretty much

the same as it

was a year

ago when I was

hospitalized

with the same

symptoms and a

very high

blood

pressure.

I

really don't

know why it

happened again

and such high

BP all of the

sudden scares

me to death.

The

reasons that I

consider:

1.

4th of July

picnic, where

I ate much

more salty

food than

usually. But

after that I

was on my dash

for two weeks

and felt

pretty well.

2.

Summer heat. I

was

hospitalized

five times for

last two years

and it always

happened

during summer

heat.

3.

Constant

diarrhea over

last two

months since I

overdosed

metformin.

4.

All the above

together!?

I

am not on any

diabetes

medications

now and my BS

is really

high, average

fasting is

150-160. I

also consider

to change

eplerenone to

sipro, since

eplerenone

also causes

diarrhea.

Now

I feel

unstable and

my BP varies

from 110/65 to

160/100. It's

especially

high at 8 am

and 8 pm, when

I also feel

very badly. I

am on higher

dosage of

eplerenone and

micardis and

Dashing very

strictly,

restricting Na

< 700 - 800

mg a day.

Many,

many thanks. I

would

appreciate any

responses.
