What is the best blood My mother has extremely high
blood pressure. Last night she
went to the hospital with
233/100. They got it down
using Cardizem, and prescribed
that to her. She's been on a
bunch of different pills over
the past few years.
She lives in rural West
Virginia, and the doctors
there have not really been,
shall we say, the cream of the
crop, so I'm not sure how up
to date they are with the
available medicines.
She's 68 years old and she is
a heavy smoker, but otherwise
has great mobility, still
drives, etc. (And she's a very
good cook!)
Thanks,
John

Don't worry John, she will pull out of the situation as smokers suffer from COPD and give a tough fight at low oxygen saturation too.The doctor will give her diuretics as she might have retained water in the body and some BP lowering pill (except beta blocker, if she has lung problem). You will be enjoying her hand made cookies very soon. |

What are some ways to prevent My mom and dad suffer from
high blood pressure,high
cholesterol. It run on both
sides of the family,that along
with diabetes and heart
disease. My mom started taking
blood pressure medication
young,in her later 20's. My
dad suffered from a stroke due
to high blood pressure. I am
22yrs old and do not want to
suffer this especially while
young. Are there any ways I
can be proactive about not
suffering from those
conditions now and later on in
life being that it is
hereditary? Or do I not have a
chance in preventing it?

Keep your weight down through diet and exercise. And don't have stress in your life. That is all you can do. If the heart disease has been mostly in one form, then consider testing for it now while there are no symptoms. It might provide problems getting health insurance, but you will be able to take steps to limit future problems. And vote democrat to ease the future insurance coverage problem as republicans are against people with heart disease getting insurance. If you have a heredity disease it will probably already be detectable. Some forms of cardiomyopathy will appear in the late teens. Many highschool athletes have died from it. How quickly it advances depends in part on your lifestyle. |

What is the best way to lower My husband has high blood
pressure and been prescribed
Crestor & Micardis. But, due
to high costs, we are unable
to afford his medications.
What are YOUR food
suggestions? Everyone always
say "diet and exercise" and we
know that. My husband does not
have a problem with his
weight. He's 38 years old,
165lbs., 5'7" tall. He's still
muscular (somewhat) due to
years of body building. His
siblings (all under 45 years
old) & parents are all under
medication for high blood
pressure & high cholesterol.
