Re: how to lower blood pressure???

Hi starlight...My doctor was wanting to up my blood pressure pills from one...10 mg
a day to 4 a day because my blood pressure was so high. I was trying to get OFF all my meds & didn't want to go UP, but instead wean myself off entirely.
So I bought the $45 digital cuff at the drugstore and kept it on the kitchen table &
took my BP 4 times a day. I also kept cucumbers, cut up in a bowl in the frig &
munched on them all day. Within one week I had gone back down from 4 pills to one a day...and could probably drop the last one..but just haven't yet. I had read that
cucumbers were good to lower blood pressure...and even added some to our daily juice. I also made a conscious effort to slow down...which was the hardest thing I had to do. :-)

In the other post...you asked how people can 'know' when their BP is up. I can tell
when mine is up....I just feel flushed...I can feel my heart beating in different parts of my body...you can just 'feel' it if you really are in tune with your body.

I've suggested cucumbers to 2 other people so far (as I've just done this recently
myself) and it's worked for both of them. So give it a try.
