If you have BP concerns, go see your GP or practice Nurse.

Your BP will vary according to time of day. It can also be affected by food and fluid intake, activity and heath considerations.

Mine's 110-120/80. It's checked at least every 3 months. Only once in my life has it ever read higher and at the time I'd just been admitted to hospital, seriously ill.

(My BP is significantly better than the BP of many slimmer people. The ones that I'm always hearing are so much healthier than I)

Not knowing any other factors, I don't think so. A diastolic under 60, yes.

Fish Oil – Can lower BP, delay atherosclerosis, promote NO production, reduce the risk of cardiac arrhythmia, reduce platelet agression

Coenzyme Q10 – Has been shown in studies to reduce systolic BP by up to 20 points over 10 weeks, it is typically used as a supplement to repair heart damage and to boost the function of the heart

Garlic – if you are taking blood thinners Garlic can be dangerous, studies have shown that 12 week supplementation with garlic significantly lowers Diastolic BP and cholesterol levels.

You can buy odourless garlic so that you don’t scare the women away :biggrin:

Kudzu – Acts as a potent anti oxidant, many times stronger than vit e… in lab tests it was shown to reduce blood pressure in mice by up to 15%

Magnesium – 250 mg twice daily. Taken daily, helps to relax artery walls and increase blood flow – it also helps with the production of energy.

Onions – In one study, two to three tablespoons of onion essential oil a day lowered blood pressure in 67 percent of people with moderately high blood pressure. Their systolic levels fell an average of 25 points and their diastolic readings fell 15 points. Onion essential oil is not available, but you can promote healthy blood pressure by adding more onions to your diet

Potassium – Adequate intake of potassium from fruit and veg can lower BP – studies have shown that 4,100 mg of potassium can lower BP by an average of 7.2/2.8 mmHg

GABA – GABA has been shown in several studies to impart a positive effect on BP, an additional benefit of this supplement is it may aid a good nights sleep

Celery – Celery contains a unique oil that relaxes the muscles that regulate blood pressure, improving flow, and lowering pressure. Just 4 stalks a day (or some celery juice) does the trick.

Diastolic over 90 needs to be looked at. Go to an out of hours centre before 10pm. If in doubt ring NHS direct.

I was having dizzy spells. My bp when measured by the GP was 208/110. She told me I was a stroke risk and put me on medication. It's now normal though can't recall the exact reading.

If your bp is that bad and you get dizzy then you need to get it sorted pronto!

That is what nhs direct is for? There is no need to go to a & e unless it's an emergency. Nhs direct will be able to advise on the best action to take.

Did you tell the GP's surgery it's an emergency? (Which it is) They should be able to see emergency cases on the same day.

Don't let them fob you off. High blood pressure can be serious and nose bleeds are not a good sign at all. Call 111 or at the *very least* call your surgery again tomorrow and insist on being seen as an emergency.
