High Blood Pressure and salt

Hello -

I posted several weeks ago regarding my first episodes of high blood

pressure. I am 48 years of age, in perimenopause, with

hypothyroidism. I was on 2 grains of Armour when the first episodes

happened and now am on 1 grain (per the endo's instructions). I know

that I have adrenal exhaustion even though I have yet to do the

saliva test - am waiting for day 19 which is next week to do the

saliva testing.

I drank 2 glasses of water with sea salt in it today and also took 2

baby aspirin this afternoon for a " tension " headache that now I am

wondering if the headache was due to HBP.

I took my BP and it was ungodly high - took it again and it was

139/92 - first time was 158/130 or something like that. Is that a

possible reading? I could feel my face was flushed again today.

This is very disappointing as I thought my BP was coming down - it

has been around 115-120/80-90 for the last few weeks - I have lost 8

pounds and have cut out sugar and grains.

I have my 3rd cardio appointment in another week and if the BP is

still high, they will want to put me on BP medications and I don't

want that!

Help and others who deal with high blood pressure. What is

causing this? I thought sea salt was good for my adrenals - if a

person has borderline high BP, should they stay away from sea salt?

What you may have is HIGH cortisol. Yes that BPO reading was possible.

Mine for 2 years was 245/148 but I was on four BP meds at the time. I

was also close to death from hypothyroid and congestive heart failure. A

diuretic type BP med is probably the least harmful of the bunch and

should help SOME. But getting your cortisol tested adn getting your

thyroid optimal is the best help for this.
