Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 This one you are taking is an ACE inhibitor. These relax the blood vessels to lower the pressure inthem. It is a better one than a Beta Blocker would be but if you have ANY tendency to low aldosterone it could make it worse. I would investigate why your BPO is rising and try to correct the cause. Are you tkaing Licorice? How much HC are you on? Perhaps it si time to lower the steroid dose as this is also a sign of high cortisol. Are you taking enough thyroid meds? Low thyrodi also causes high BP. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 The receptionist at doctor's looked at me and said I dom't understand how YOU could have high blood pressure. It came on when I became hyper. I'm on 8 pelets Isocort now, and maybe when I start T3, itwillbring blood pressure down. I'm not on licorice - tried l cap for two days and experienced high anxiety. I'm not very up on aldosterone, so don't know ifit's high or low. How would I check this? Re: Doctor perscribed blood pressure med. This one you are taking is an ACE inhibitor.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 The very same thing happened to me. My BP has always been great. I raised my T3 until I became slightly hyper & my BP went very high. I have reduced the T3 from a max of 225mcg back down to 100mcg & my BP has remained high. I do not understand why it will not come back down to normal. I am in the process of switching back to Armour from the T3.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Do you use sea salt Gale? I am wondering as my BP responds quite well to adequate salt in coming down! -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Val, I thought the purpose of taking sea salt was to raise low blood pressure--Am I mixed up?

It can alos lower HIGH BP contrary to what we are taught. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thank's so much for sharing about the high BP, Gale. I know the blood pressure med is not the best solution, so will continue to work on this. Val just noted in one post that sea salt not only raises low, but also lowers high BP, so I will probably work up the courage and take the plunge before too long. First need to start thyroid again as temps have been steady now for a few days. Hope you find answers for yourself. Post when you do.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Val, No I do not. It has been about a month to 6 weeks since my BP went high. I tried sea salt one time, 1/4 tsp. & it seemed to be higher a couple of hours later. Do you think that I should have kept using it? Maybe I did not give it enough time?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 It takes several weeks for sea salt to affect BP. I would try it again 1/4 tsp twice a day. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 That is good to know Val. I will try it again. I will be very relieved if this helps to get it back down. Thanks.
