How To Lower Your Blood Pressure To Protect Your Kidneys 

I just saw my doctor yesterday. My blood pressure was 90/50! He told me to stop taking Amlodipine but continue the Linsopril. I lost 50 pounds overall in the last two years and 20 pounds in the last 3 months. My eating habits have changed so my target is about 10 to 15 pounds more loss. Thanks for all the information!

Thank you so much, Dr. Hashmi

Good information, as always.

Thank you very much Dr. Hashmi and Michelle! You have been such a huge help just when we need it! More power to both of you!❤🥰

Is temporary hypertension a concern for someone with stage 4 ckd and who usually has low blood pressure( myself)?.

Thanks!

Does the famous 4/7/8 deep breathing have just a short response as in, JUST minutes only, or doing it regularly, does it help to actually really lower BP? Also is there value aka DATA, to using isometric hand-grip therapy to lower BP... Thanks for all you both do!! :)

Thanks

What can be done for someone in her eighties who has a very high blood pressure all the time and the blood pressure meds ARB and beta blocker no longer works to lower blood pressure, which causes more anxiety at home, raising b.p. more? The urine test shows she does not have pheo, but has a lot of stress anxiety, especially of taking b.p. at home, and the b.p. goes even higher. She has had very bad effects from ccbs and thiazide in the past, and is very slim.

Love this channel ❤

Hello Dr Sean , my blood pressure is normal but my pulse sometime below 60.. is it problem to kidney ? thank you

What is your take on the L-citrulline as means to lower blood pressure? It seems to have pretty solid evidence of being successful with that

I have white coat and now I find it hard to take it at home. How do I keep the 90 on the bottom down. It fluctuates from the 80,s-90’s What do you think about Beet Capsules? I’ve lost 13 lbs and doing low sodium.

My blood pressure at nights always below 120 for diastolic and between 80 - 90 for sistolic. Is it normal doc? Why?

Hello, an answer to my question 12 days ago would be highly appreciated! Thanks

Thanks, timely. When is the best time of day to get a true reading on BP?

Do you have any thought about including CBD oil to control BP?

Interesting you ditch betablocker totally! Any implication?

do you have studies on the effectiveness (how much does each med typically lower your numbers) of the different pills? For example if your in the 150's. Is there one that's has a larger lowering effect? Do you then have to combine multiple drugs? How do you choose the different blood pressure pills? Are some safer then others? (some give you that awful cough) If heart disease, high blood pressure, CKD, bad chlost4eral run in the family, is one type suggested more? If you have an autoimmune condition such as psoriasis/ psoraitic arthritis would one be better then the other. How do you know whats causing the high blood pressure? What are the best foods to lower blood pressure? How much of the foods do you need to eat to lower the blood pressure. what blood pressure meds should you be cautious about when stopping abruptly? Do you suggest others as a better starting point if your not good at sticking to a daily pill. Is there a way to lower a wide spread of pulse pressure. The difference between systolic and diastolic? What causes the wide spread typically? Why are dr's not allowed to prescribe on a wide pulse pressure spread presently? normal is around 40 mmHg right?

Thank you for this video, very helpful. My question is about bananas. When I first found out I had kidney disease I stayed away from all high potassium foods, that is what I read back in 2014. Since then I realized I don't have a problem with potassium, but I do have high BP. Are bananas okay to eat if there is not problem with potassium on all my blood tests? I eat avocados now but some people say bananas are bad for the kidney even it there's no problem with potassium. I also question about CoQ10, there seems to be two types. Which one is best? I'm about to see a doctor to change my BP medication since my bp is usually 145/85-90. Good advice about not stopping what I currently take!!

lifestyle changes bring long term benefits compared to lifetime medications (being prisoner of pharma) medications should be reviewed periodically..i pity those who are on lifetime meds

My BP is always lower when I am standing than sitting. Which one is consider normal?

Is losartan safe for kidneys?

Can a person with stage 1 CKD eat spinach?. I just saw two different articles on Google where one says it's not recommended and the other said it's a leafy green that's fine...which one is it. It's so frustrating

As for blood pressure, the lower the better unless you feel dizzy.

Good day. I'm confused with many of these vegetables. Google will say this food is not good for ckd than another article will say its just fine. My doctor said I have stage 1 CKD. So can I eat foods like Zucchini?. Pasta with no sauce?. As for chicken. Can I have baked chicken without the skin that's seasoned with olive oil and a little garlic salt?

What is the side effect of Amlodipine

Frustrated my nephrologist won’t prescribe supplements when I just did labs for him. Said to ask PCP.

Berberine supplement

Avoid "After salt sweet" lower BP. Eat just either salty only or sweet only.

My home blood pressure is 125/85 but when I’m in doctor,s office it is always high 150/95 which one should I take

same-o, same-o

Problem is nobody agree nothing on kidney health.
