Wouldn't small amounts of alcohol lower blood pressure?

I'm in the same boat dude. I lift and shit, but still totally crap blood pressure. Family history, genetics and I'm probably an alc. Not drinking helps.

This is the truth, unfortunately. I should take this advice.

Mental health problems are often caused by diet. When all your blood vessels are always inflamed, that's not good for the brain.

Eat more potassium. The whole “eat less salt” thing is because we don’t eat enough potassium/other minerals to balance it out.

I had back pain when I stopped bothering to have any added salt. Now I salt my food to taste, which for me is rarely even half a gram in a day.

I'm an overweight alchy who regularly eats fast food and drinks almost daily (260, 6'1) and my blood pressure is always around 110/60... sometimes even lower.

my doctors always freak out about it (I'm honest about my habits because why the fuck not) but that's how my dad is as well, no explanation really and I'm generally "healthy" other than being a fat fuck

>> No.9890564

Exercise, lower sodium, avoid fats, avoid alcohol, cut fast food and soda out entirely.

>>9888819
What do you normally eat?

>>9889700
Some fats are good for you.

>> No.9890567

>>9890470
Sodium does not directly cause high blood pressure, it's only a contributor. The solution to high blood pressure isn't just "No more salt for you!", it's fixing your diet completely (salt is still fine, just stop eating 5000mg daily in frozen foods) and exercising.

UNFORTUNATELY GENETICS PLAY A FAR LARGER ROLE IN BLOOD PRESSURE THAN ABNYTHING ELSE. THAT BEING SAID EXERCISE CAN BE TREMENDOUSLY USEFUL.

Just in general. Fat-heavy diets tend to have unbalanced cholesterol which increases blood pressure.

I take spironolactone.

My blood pressure used to run like 170/110, but with my medication it has dropped to healthy ranges. If you are a boy, it also has side effects like making you grow tits.

>> No.9890900

>>9888819
That's not a "just eat a healthy diet and you'll be ok" blood pressure, Anon. That's a "start the patient on medication before he strokes out" blood pressure.

They put me on amlodipine, which worked well. In your case, it might not be enough. There are at least two other entire classes of drugs that they can also put you on. See a physician immediately.

yeah, until you eat a single slice of bread and throw yourself out of ketosis for a month.

>> No.9891776

>>9890937
You don't actually go into ketosis unless you're water fasting. 'Keto' diets just help restrict calories without having to think about it much by just cutting out carbs completely but you're still consuming enough to stay out of ketosis, your metabolism doesn't switch over until the glucose stores in your liver deplete completely.

You could have sleep apnea. sleep on a wedge pillow. that may help keep your airway clear during sleep.
