CWayneD, your doctor sounds pompous. I
hate doctors like that. I also have white
coat hypertension, and always have a high
reading in the doctors office. When taking
it at home, it's always normal.
Trust your instincts and get off the meds
as soon as possible. I was put on Protonix
before and all I had were bad side effects
from it. I quit taking it and never looked
back.
I am 50, I take Raw organic apple cider
vinegar(ACV) 2-3 times a day with water
and liquid stevia. It naturally lowers bp,
by helping thin the blood. I found a
natural alternative to meds called Blood
Pressurex sold by theherbsplace.com. It
costs a bit more than regular meds, but no
side effects, and it does it all, lowers
bp very well.
For JohnA, it sounds like you are on a
powerful diuretic if it keeps you awake
with frequent trips to the bathroom.
You were healthy before you went to the
doctor, so why did you go? All they want
to do is prescribe pills all the time. A
lot of people are taking meds that
shouldn't be taking them. All because a
doctor said so.
A really good book to get is one I found
at amazon last month. Called:
"Prescription Alternatives. Hundreds of
safe, natural, prescription-free remedies
to restore and maintain your health. By
Earl L. Mindell.
It's a really good book and for whatever
ailment/disease you've been diagnosed with
by a doctor, it lists all the alternatives
and a treatment plan at the end of each
chapter. Check it out, you will not be
sorry.
