There is a new website to help people get their blood pressure down.  

I was going to suggest the deep breathing, as well. I know that it calms me all over and my blood pressure then is lower.

Yes, and the deep breathing is part of what the biofeedback machine does. It also relaxes blood vessals.

My blood pressure was 145 over 90, but I started taking meds and wanted biofeedback at 180 over 100.

I was 120 over 70 as normal for many years. But I think the infection in my face and the pain killer that was prescribed kept pushing it up. I had hoped once they did surgery on my face and got me off the pills, I would be back to my normal.

You haven't heard, some of my Drs. were saying 100 over 60 now. I told them I would be feeling faint and I don't think so! I think stress and overweight now are my problems.

You are so right about the stress and weight. My weight is high. I see I was tired when I posted above. I meant 120 over 70. Actually I am usually right there when I donate blood, or even a little lower, now that I am not stressed so much. Almost all pain pills will raise your BP.

Yeah, my bp Doc says only tylenol doesn't raise bp. But tylenol does nothing for pain for me. Only tylenol PM when I can't sleep does something. I love aleve, but that is napoxin sodium, salt right in it's name. Too bad it works sooo good and last for 8 hours. The rest of the NSAIDS do nothing except cause me more problems. Thanks and take care.

Gonna guess Tylenol PM has an antihistamine as its sleep aid. If you can handle aspirin it can be taken one of Tylenol, one of aspirin and get a good effect. Do not do it all the time though. Ginger root capsules, turmeric, cherry juice or cayenne capsules have been good for me as well. The doc and the chiropractor both have told me to take mega doses of B6, and I do find it effective, and magnesium helps. Magnesium actually helps some people with blood pressure issues, as it is a smooth muscle relaxer.

I'll have to see if I can manage magnesium.
Hawthorn is supposed to be good, but it actually raised my blood pressure, one hour after I took it, my pressure went up 30 points on the top # and 10 points on the bottom one. So I guess I had a reverse reaction.

No go on aspirin. Stomach, gastro-intestinal problems and brings my ulcer problem back. Also increases my ability to bleed and not clot. So like you said, if I can handle, it but I can't.

Is it deep breathing can reduce high blood pressure this morning I just wake up my BP comes to 150/115 then I so dizzy that I cannot walk at all. But went to ER right away, Dr gave 180mg of Dialtizem , which regularly take once in the morning and afternoon but with low dose of 120mg with combination of Altace and waterfill. Can Deep breathing can help at all and before exercise such as slight running in the treadmill?

Each person is different, but try deep breathing for a few minutes before you stand up. Don't hyperventalate (don't breath fast), breath slowly and deeply in and out. Then again before you walk. I'd get this problem under control before I started running. I was told to go slowly with transitions. Like stand up slowly, sit down slowly, anytime you change, go slowly.

I've never seen medical devices go down. Not even canes and crutches (except for the occasional sale). They did have a sale one time, $25 or $50 off a while ago.

I think manufacturers of medical devices must have to have some kind of insurance that goes up like the Drs. malpractice stuff. I don't know.

My genocologist sent me for biofeedback for incontanance training to build the exact muscles in the correct ratio so I wouldn't leak when standing up. So some Drs. do believe in some of it.

I wasn't really speaking of medical instruments. More the technology angle and how the price goes down after awhile on new technological items.

Yes, but when it comes under medical, that seems to over-ride the technical for price considerations.

They really want to mess with ya.

Yeah, true.
Any good medical conspiracies?

How about the one going on with the insurance program in government right now?

Yeah, the clause that says if you don't buy insurance, you can be fined. If you can't pay a fine, so you go to jail. That's just a way to put the upper lower class (that can't get medicaid and medicare) and lower middle class (including some small business people) in jail. Seems like a conspiracy to me!

It sure sounds like it! Scarey. Guess they have to protect themselves too.
