to dishes. & that's without earthquakes tornadoes affairs or terrorists threatening our daily designation with destiny!
Living within that ecosystem niche, that emotional geography, that political territory, that flow living day to day- ones gotta be giving some credit to those that attempt to manage it
without blaming self or others than one needs BP medication to manage it or limit damage from it. Really fliping stroking out or wrecking cardio muscles is the ULTIMATE limitation of life time duration - of life's bliss participation.
That is the primary motivation. Until your in safe BP range not to have a stroke- take your medication EVEN as you try meditation, try more excersize.
oh My god- I recall one night on the excersize bike after freaking fastin through a week in desperate effort to loose pounds, take off weight (generating stress) loosing the house (shortsale forced by foreclosure auction notes in the mail) trying to keep my dogs from being euthanized (rental with dogs available anytime?) all in one week.
& my physician's assistant is standing there, looking at me, (I'm trying to avoid BP medication to 'spare my kidneys' I heard a rumor from a nurse that ran a place for people on dialysis. She said all the patients wrecked their kidneys were on water pills- it wrecked their kidneys. Heard her say this years ago. DUH) PA filled me in- stoking out, walking dancing talking thinking - want to risk that/ heart attack Hows about having a heart attack? Uncontrolled BP does certainly wreck the kidneys.
I tried maganesium malate/ mag/cal to lower my bp, but could not do it consistently, added healthy essential fatty acids, seemed so depleted that would have asthma flare up after eating potatoe chips/ trans fat meal- literally choke me up. too depleted - to handle the risk.
\
SO, I finally agreed to be careful to breath, meditate, add excersize, eat as well as possible- and, after eating more potassium eating more healthy- still flaired my BP given X life stress- I added a basic diuretic. Why allow the risk of a stroke to all the rest? HECK. REally difficult choices. Such side effects but heck. Once I raised my bp all weekend sleeping stacked up high on too many pillows but it started elevated after a doctors' visit (hate those too many horrible experiences keeping family alive or loving others as they died, seriously. going to even Visit a doctor will raise my BP.)
finally I realized I'd like to be available to darling husband & friends, to take care of myself even if its a sacrifice. the side effects of not doing this- are impossibly dangerous risk to live through. How would I live with me if I refused treatement for bp presented/ offered to me after I only partially stroked out? take the little blue pill. just take the little blue thing.
you know if you find the life style torquing that would do it- while still in complete awareness of earthquake safety, firedrill, lock down drills on campus, tornados volcanoes & hazardous air quality- just remind me. I've joined all the art groups and photography groups in google+ I could find I see free art work all the time, I turn up great music all the time. I pour coffee I pour cream. I got friendly dogs. I got a friendly spouse. But I still think, this BP RX thing is such a #*#*#* like neeing to breath- cha**#* use the *#* inhaler already. you know, seriously?
