Question 3

is anticoagulation effective in pregnancy? wil it defenitely stop blood clotting?

Accepted Answer

Effective: Anticoagulation is effective however options are limited in pregnancy. Anticoagulation reduces risk of abnormal clotting in most, however does not eliminate the risk.

Question 4

does anticoagulation in pregnancy stop blood clotting? does treatment stop dvt completely

Accepted Answer

Yes but...: Yes but nothing is perfect. We always have to weigh risk vs benefit. If we are aggressive with anticoagulant  you are unlikely to have clots. If too aggressive you could bleed. So the proper dosing with close monitoring  is required.

Question 8

does vinegar really help lower blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

No: No scientific proof that vinegar lowers blood pressure to my knowledge

Question 9

does drinkn white vinegar help lower your blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

No: Not a recommended treatment.
A study in rats found that vinegar could lower high blood pressure (in rats). That was apple cider vinegar. No proven effect in humans that i could find. In large amounts, vinegar can lower your potassium. The hydrochlorothiazide you take also lowers potassium. Check with your doctor to make sure you don't cause problems with low potassium while trying vinegar.

Question 10

is it true that if u take a teaspoon of vinegar a day it would bring your blood pressure down?

Accepted Answer

Apple cider vinegar: There are no good human studies to suggest apple cider vinegar is a useful treatment for bp.  There was one done in rats which suggest it could help - but what that means for humans is unclear.  On scale of 1-10 in terms of usefulness, i'd give it a 2.... If you wanted to try it, why not... It's cheap and won't kill you.  But it's no substitute for the proven things: low salt, exercise.
