Question

if you have high blood pressure is it ok to take epherdrin to help to lose weight. At the mo i weigh 15 stone and am 5;10 tall i run half marathons/fell runs long walks go the gym 3/4 times a week using medium to light weights and teech martial arts twice a week

Answer 1

NO!

Read the label.

Answer 2

NO! Absolutely not. Stop it right now. By taking that medication you are increasing already high blood pressure. Add to that the fact that you then go and exercise, which increases your blood pressure even more, and you could be looking at possible kidney damage, heart attack, and stroke. This is the reason they banned that stuff in the first place.

The only way to lose fat healthily is proper diet and exercise. Interestingly enough, those two things will help with your hypertension too.

Look at the ads for every weight loss gimmick out there. "This gimmick in conjunction with proper diet and exercise will help you lose weight." That should tell you something right there. Save yourself some money and just do the diet and exercise part.

And none of these diets with the names of some dead doctor or geographic region on them. Just follow the food pyramid. If you are exercising, your body will need fuel, so fuel it. Just do it right. Food pyramid. In your case a DASH diet would be appropriate as long as your doctor OKs it.

You need to talk to your doctor about a diet and exercise regimen that is right for you before you do anything else. So cut the Ephedrin and go see your doctor.

Answer 3

hey
Epherdrin has lots of side effects. I would strongly suggest you to not take it. If you want to lose weight you could start by eating food that has less calories and less fat. You could Dr Bernstein clinic it is quick way to lose weight. Since i already went to the clinic and lost 10 lbs. I could certainly give you some pointers. You could email me at [e-mail].

Thanks a lot

Answer 4

As you have High Blood Pressure you should avoid stimulants like those in ephadrin. Perhaps you may be better off with a stimulant free 'diet pill' like Leptropin?
Though it is advised you consult your health advisor before using any supplement.

Answer 5

REALLY BAD IDEA. Losing an extra pound or two versus risking having a stroke, Hmmmm let's see. Talk to your doctor. The only "diet aid" I know of you could take would be decaffeinated green tea.

Answer 6

No you can't it will elevate your BP and is thus potentially dangerous.

It is unlikely that any pills will contribute to sustained weight loss. Evidence is this can only occur with a combination of calorie reduction and regular exercise.

Answer 7

No, ephedrine is used to increase blood pressure (one of it's known side effects) and is not considered save for someone with hypertension. With your activity schedule and dedication, I don't see why you'd need to use it.
