Magnesium and blood pressure
Posted: Jul 2, 2014
I noticed doing HPs that a big percentage of seniors have magnesium deficiency and also a vitamin D deficiency so I started taking a mag supplement 500 qhs. My blood pressure at that time was running around 145/90, not on any BP meds. I hadn't been to the doc since starting to take it about a year ago, and just this past 2 weeks had 3 doctor's appts for different things. My BP is down to 120-130/70-80. I was trying to think what may have lowered it since I'm under a much bigger stress load and the mag was the only thing I have changed so I googled it and there have been studies that link mag deficiency with high BP. Also suggests using calcium supplement at the same time because together they may lower it even more. I'm pretty excited!

I am glad I came across your post.... - Kiki
[ In Reply To ..]I have high BP - I'm only about 10 pounds overweight, am trying to exercise and eat right and have been for over a year. Not only have I not lost weight (lol prob bc I'm 50) but my BP is always around 140-50/80-90. I am going to try a mag supplement in spray form to see if I can get that BP down w/o meds. Thanks!

Blood Pressure And CTAFeb 10, 2014
I have diabetes and mild hypertension and take a low-dose medication that seems to control the BP very well (1-teens/60s) which I check in my left arm daily. At my routine doctor's appointment today, where my BP is usually higher than when at home, it was 148/68 (right), 120/65 (left). She always checks both arms. The doctor was concerned about the difference between arms, and has scheduled me for a CT angiogram on Wednesday. I was concerned, so when I got home, I checked using my machin ...

Extracting Blood From A TurnipAug 10, 2011
I do watch stocks and the market and I would say I am getting a bit of experience. As Boehner and the House led the country to the verge of economic collapse last week, I was listening very carefully. After the debt ceiling bill had been passed and everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, I noted that the CNBC pundits were talking about the corporate insiders selling activity (Corporate CEOs and other high ranking corporate types must report when they exercise their personal stock options).

Hillary Clinton recklessly discussed, in emails hosted on her private server, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was executed by Iran for treason, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said Sunday. Read the full story at the Washington Examiner I can only hope Wikileaks can come up with more information that was on that server and Hillary is finally indicted. And this reckles ...

Hillary's Health After Concussion/blood ClotAug 07, 2016
Saw a link below regarding health records for both candidates being more important than tax records and followed the link which the reasons for concern were discussed. I know the NFL has football players who are suing for their problems after playing football so I wonder if taking it a step further anyone thinks Hillary may be suffering from post-concussive syndrome after her fall, concussion and blood clot. Or could she be taking medication that may cause her to "short-circuit" her answe ...
