natural ways to reduce bp

[rocheen]

Any one had any success reducing bp without meds. Does b12 work.

I did try B12 and it did nothing. for me - but that doesn't mean it'll be no use to you - so try it (and let us know in the next few months).

The best thing I ever did was to buy a home moniter and after a few months I was able to ditch the pills which were having horrible side effects (mainly a persistent irritating cough that kept me awake)- and this morning my BP was down to 128/86. It took a couple of months for me to relax, even at home, when taking my readings as I apparently have white coat syndrome, and looking at my charts it was 5 months before my BP was down to normal.

Deep breathing helped.

I obviously don't want to recommend this risky way of going about things as you could kill yourself - I risked it and it paid off for me.

It may be worth asking your Dr. for a B12 blood test the range is between [ 200- 900 ] but some areas differ in their ranges. I have been on Pred for a very long time and my B12 was borderline at 200, I took B12 sublingual tablets and my range shot up. I wouldn't supplement until having a B12 b/test

whats Pred. is there a problem taking b12 if you haven't been tested. does b12 reduce bp

[bowler in reply to rocheen]

Sorry to confuse you Prednisolone is a steroid. It can give you Hypertension

which it did for me, that's why I follow this site, and like I said my B12 was border line,

I would suggest you go on the Health unlocked PA site, { Pernicious Anaemia } if you need to know more about B12 you will get more info from them.
