Busymomma13 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 So over the past six months I've been dealing with high blood pressure brought on my chronic back pain. I tried prescriptions, but that was a no go - first one put me in the hospital with critical potassium deficiency, and second one progressively made me completely unable to function, after four weeks I couldn't even walk from my bed to the bathroom without first getting lightheaded and dizzy, and then having to stop halfway to rest! I was out of options, so I was using essential oils with some relief...they got me out of the danger zone at least, but not by much. A trip to Colorado at the end of April, and the high elevation and flying did a double whammy and it spiked up and I couldn't get it down much. I started acupuncture three weeks ago, and that brought it down a little more. So before I started Whole 30 I was averaging 145/95. Monday I ended up going on a 10 hour road trip (I had to do all the driving) through Hell's Gate Pass (apply named) in BC. It was the most difficult driving I have ever done...if I dared to look at the breath taking scenery, I was risking my life! I got home, finally, at 9 pm. I just knew my BP must be record-breakingly high...but, to my huge surprise, it was 110/95. I took it again as that couldn't be right...115/95...well, I must just be too tired.... Next morning, and every day since, my upper number has been avg 115, and my lower number has been going down!!!! Tuesday, 115/90, today 115/80!!!! And my yesterday was a crazy day too, but definitely better than Monday! Hooray!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
