    Emergency...help Please...

    Hi this is SueSue1212,
    My husband went on this plan with me about 6 weeks and his blood pressure is going up. He has followed it religiously and I am concerned. He has to go for a CDL physical in 2 days and his #'s are:
    150/112 pulse 83. Can anyone tell me what is going on and what can we do to drop his #'s rapidly (but safely) quickly???
    Please Help!
    SueSue1212
    Love, Light and Blessings

    If he is eating processed foods like pork rinds or cold cuts, he needs to stop. Supplementing with magnesium and potassium both help lower blood pressure. Depending on how much water he is drinking, he could adjust it up or down. If you take in too little water, it's bad for blood pressure because you hold salts, etc. But, if you are downing large amounts, it may wash out electrolytes and overwhelm his blood vessels.

    Stress and pain both make blood pressure skyrocket, so to get it down quickly, he needs to de-stress and try to stay very calm. I can lower my blood pressure several points by doing biofeedback while deep belly breathing.
    People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

        Thank You Both for responding. I am worried about the BP with or without the diet plan. I just don't know why it is so high now. He has lost 60 lbs. and his BP is way up from just before he started this.

            There could be other factors not diet related affecting his blood pressure. I know exercise helps too, but he may need blood pressure meds if it is inherited, etc. Best wishes for you both!
