Is there a way to lower blood pressure in a few short minutes by eating a certain type of food?

Question

my dad has high cholesterol and he rarely gets sick but for the past 2 days he has been saying he feels dizzy and he doesn't have much of a appetite. all day he has been eating crackers and water but it's not helping. this morning my mom (she knows how to take blood pressure and sugar ) and she did and his blood pressure is high. im worried about him and i think he really should go to the er but is there anything that he can do now to help it a little?

Answer 1

Another good thing is eat your greens, and also use fresh garlic, drink Hibiscus Tea, lower sugar intake, avoid alcohol, do eat Fish and/or Fish Oils--their benefits when added to the diet are well known. Omega-3 fatty acids lower blood cholesterol, protect arteries and can even drop blood pressure levels as much as ten points. More recently it has been discovered that the protein in fish may help protect against stroke! Fish protein contains high levels of the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and taurine. Resources...
• Flaxseed or flax oil can be purchased in health food stores

• Dried hibiscus flowers to make the tea can be purchased from Penn Herb at 800-523-9971.

• Back copies of Alternatives can be ordered by calling 800-211-8562.

• By far the best garlic I've found come from Wakunaga of America (Mission Viejo, CA). Their aged garlic (also called SGP or Pro Formula 1000) is available in health food stores or through the mail from the company at 800-421-2998 or order from the Vitamin Shoppe at 800-223-1216.

• You can find CoQ10 softgels in health food stores, or order them from the Vitamin Shoppe at 800-223-1216.

• For more complete details on vitamin E and heart problems, I recommend Vitamin E for Ailing and Healthy Hearts by Dr. Wilfrid Shute. It is available in some bookstores and at Amazon.com.
Also the best thing to do quickly is see an iridologist in your area, I highly recommend it, check with local health food stores in your area to find one locally. Take this very seriously, I did with my Dad.
I hope this helps, and good luck.

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

I am an EMT, and I agree that he should be taken to the ER. If he is not allergic to aspirin, he may try to take some as it is a vaso constrictor and will slow his blood pressure. However, I only use this to get to the nearest hospital usually, so you should really seek medical advise. Many different things can cause high blood pressure. Often it is related to stress, and other times it can be more serious.

Answer 5

To lower your blood pressure you can sit quietly and meditate, If you can't get your Dad to meditate, just sitting quietly reading or being read to will help to lower his blood pressure. Try not to give him any extra stress. Just closing his eyes and sitting quietly will help.

Oatmeal.

If it's really high, he needs to see his doctor. And lay off the salty crackers - that just makes high BP even higher!
