Guest guest Posted April 19, 2000 Report Share Posted April 19, 2000 a, That is what it is, some days a little cooler but most times, it is that hot. Sometimes, you have to get out and sit on the side of the tub and cool off and then get back in. You can see the stream coming off of it. I thought it was a little to warm but I don't know a lot about this. Some people come out with their legs and arms are red from the heat. Now I know I'm not going in for awhile.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2000 Report Share Posted April 19, 2000 I keep mine at 100. If this is a public hot tub, they are normally regulated by law as to how hot it can be. 108 is downright dangerous, and I surely wouldn't get in. a ----- Original Message ----- From: " Valued Compaq Customer " <ruf-caimi@...> < onelist> Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2000 11:42 AM Subject: [ ] BP a, That is what it is, some days a little cooler but most times, it is that hot.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Francesca, Congrats on the BP. I too have a bad family history regarding BP. I hav always been at 120/80 and was looking at a future being in the dangerous range, as my family. Since being on CRON my BP has decreased to 110/75, measured about 4 times over the past 6 monthes (1 year a Cronnie). The CRON diet DEFINITELY has an affect on BP.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 high bp is a symptom of hypo and other hormone deficiencies. My bp was very high until I got the hormones I needed. My potassium is usually high/sodium low.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hi Mark, My blood pressure was always elevated in the hypertensive range, no matter what dietary changes I made, or stuff I cut out of my diet. My BP has gone down, but is still a little higher than my doc would like it to be, since being diagnosed and treated for hypo. I am not on blood pressure meds though.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 In a message dated 9/17/2005 10:02:02 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, health writes: Talk to me about blood pressure! Someone is bemoaning the fact her bloodpressure is 108/60 ===============================I normally have very low blood pressure also. So far it has not been toomuch of a problem for me, except if I bend over and then stand up,everything goes black for a few seconds. I have never fainted though (butalmost). I guess very low blood pressure can be just as bad as very high.I actually once had a reading of 90/0 - yes, zero! I couldn't believe it -they actually took my blood pressure about 3 or 4 times, but there was noreading. Scary!Carol Some people normally run a low BP. 108/60 is not that bad, and may be, in fact very normal for her. In the same vein, (no pun intended), a person may have a low pulse, as well. Usually these are people who are very active, and often are athletes. Low BP can be as bad as high BP. There is also a condition whereby a person is orthostatic when the stand up. It can make one very lightheaded and even pass out. If this is the case, they need to be very careful about rising slowly. Carol, 90/0 is impossible, so that was not an accurate reading. If it were accurate, you would be dead. Your diastolic was probably inaudible, and that can happen for a number of reasons. It may have had to do with your hydration status. It may have been faulty equipment. It may be the wrong size cuff. It may have been poor hearing on the person who was taking it. If you ever have a poor reading on your BP, ask the person to take it on the other arm. (They should know to do that anyway) You can also ask that they get another sphygmomanometer or another cuff.
