Re: Hypertension and cheese
Hi there - Yes - I have experienced some of that myself - and I will tell you that part of our problem (people like you and me) - is that we are Allergic to some products and foods which Spike our Blood Pressure.
I consistently had fairly good BP readings at home - but every time I went to the doctor - my BP shot up to almost 200! At first I thought it was the dreaded "White Coat Syndome" problem of being fearful in the doctor's office - but - One day - I realized that After I took some Over the Counter meds for my sinuses - my Blood Pressure shot up to almost 200 like at the doctor's office had been!
I had just taken the sinus meds a little before I tested my BP - and that is how I found out that the meds were zooming my BP up!
All along - I had been taking the Sinus meds before I went to see my doctor - and so that explained Why my BP was usually closer to normal AT HOME - But - whenever I went to the docor it zoomed up.
Now I try to watch what I consume. Yes - Aspertame Always does a horrific job on my system and I have severe, blinding headaches, and bone pain as if they were breaking. So I NEVER take anything like Nutrasweet or Equal with Aspertame in it! The symptoms are just the same ones I get if I eat anything with MSG!
So I KNOW it is all allergy related! Including the HIGH BLOOD Pressure!
Good luck and God bless!
