A member asked:
With readings of over 94 in diastolic blood pressure, i've started exercising, ketogenic diet, less sodium, coq10 etc. enough or do i need bp meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BP: The ketogenic diet, if adhered to, will lower your blood pressure adequately. Fructose raises blood sugar through the byproduct of uric acid. It inhibits endothelial nitrous oxide. Watch the youtube video, "sugar: the bitter truth" by robert lustig, md.

I just took my blood pressure and it is 187/108 I am on 20 mg Lisinopril and 25mg hydrochloralthiazide, after 2 weeks my bp has increased despite lowering sodium and more exercise. Is there any way the meds above could increase bp instead of lower?

I heard that a low salt diet is good if you have high blood pressure. How much salt/sodium intake is too much?
I ate more salt than one needs, along with a higher range sodium diet. How will that affect blood pressure and the heart?
