Nola,
Thanks for a fantastic testimony/post. I'm so glad that you now "k-n-o-w know" how effectively it regulates blood pressure (and that you shared).
Knowing how reliant (maybe I should say "addicted") you are to that bp monitor of yours (you KNOW if I ever come to your house, that's THE first thing that's goin' in the dumpster when I start doing some Dr. Schulze "trashing" Lol)...I want to make sure you know a very real fact.
From the time "they" started measuring blood pressure (up until the pharmaceutical cartel totally took over medicine), and NORMAL bp had the top number as your age +100. So for someone in their 30's or 40's to have a bp of 130 or 140 "over whatever" is actually normal.
It seems that you've always reported that as soon as your bp starts declining, your mood/anxiety improves substantially. What is important to know, is which triggers which. Do you feel that your bp is rising, then check it, then feel anxious? Then do whatever (like pop an otc or prescription), know it's going down and then feel less anxious BECAUSE you know it went down? Or do you find yourself experiencing major anxiety first, then some time later, check your bp and see that it's high? It seems to me like almost every time you start feeling the slightest bit anxious, that you run to check the bp, and when you see that's its "high", it tips your anxiety seriously into the red zone. If that's the case (and even when you think your bp is "high", it's less than 150), then you really do need to stop doing all that monitoring all the time.
Of course, anyone with an actual bp issue should monitor their bp...but the question is, do you really have a bp issue that requires monitoring? So what's the highest it's EVER been, and what do you consider high enough to trigger an anxiety reaction?
Hugs n' blessings,
Uny
