: Beet root extract would not be a sufficient replacement for prescription blood pressure medicine. However, some studies have shown beet root supplementation to have a modest effect on lowering blood pressure.

: Beet juice is NOT the answer for hypertension, which potentially could be handled partially with diet, but far safer to be controlled day in and day out with antihypertensive medication.  You need to contact your doctor and fully discuss options and management.  Remember that hypertension has been termed "the silent killer".

Borscht: Researchers have found that drinking a glass of beet juice can reduce blood pressure.

Question 9

what is the best time to take blood pressure medicine?

Accepted Answer

Depends of which: But in general, medications for hypertension that are taken once a day could be taken anytime but usually at the same time of every day. Do what is best to remind you to take the medicines (important). Associate the taking of meds with something you do at the same time(i.e.: brushing teeth, breakfast, dinner, etc)
If meds are given twice a day try to take them 12 hrs appart

Question 10

is my blood pressure medicine interfering with my love life?

Accepted Answer

BP meds and ED: Some blood pressure medications, beta blockers and, less commonly diuretics, can make me have some erectile dysfunction. If you are on one of these agents, speak to your doctor about the possibility of changing to another class of BP meds. If that does not work, your ed may be caused by hypertension and you should be referred to a urologist for a work up. Good luck.
