Lucky you! I’ve been IF and low carb for 1 year ( I do treat myself from time to time e.g. cake with my coffee once a week if I’m out, or a piece of damper with my homemade soup if I’ve made soup - maybe every 3-4 weeks, but it’s not the majority at all) and my blood pressure, numbers like yours over this past 15 months, and nothing changed. I don’t have much weight to lose (on cusp of normal/overweight), my trigs and HDL Are normal and in perfect ratio, my LDL is high. So my Dr desperately wants me on statins, I’m refusing, and after 15 months of trying and resisting I’ve started on Irbesartan lowest dose for my blood pressure 4 weeks ago. Had ECG, clean as a whistle, tested positive for SDHB gene fault which symptoms can be tumour growth messing with the endocrine system causing high blood pressure amongst more serious nasties, but an ultrasound showed clear and I expect my MRI will too ( it’s been over two weeks and no one has called me in a flurry of panic). I’ve taken my blood pressure twice so far, once it hadn’t changed at all and the second time it had dropped half way to your new numbers. This was upon waking too, so I was super relaxed. My Dr did explain all the areas of medication and why she prescribed what she did. I’m watching and waiting ….oh and I’ve taken a Dr prescribed best bio available pott and mag powder supplement and D3/K2 for the past 18 months.

I'm on carvedilol and losartan. Went from 270lb to 195 doing Keto for a year. BP at the four months ago was 180/127 with a pulse in the high 80's. Cardiovascular Primary Care Doctor didn't like that I was doing Keto, but liked that I was losing weight. Had my follow up today and I lost 21lbs from the last visit. I think she gets in a rut with most patients not doing anything to help the situation they are in. She was ecstatic and smiled the entire time talking to me about my progress. It was a 100% change in her attitude from when I first started working with her. I've only been on the meds 4 months. The conversation was keep doing what I'm doing and we can talk about getting off/reducing the HBP meds. I keep a journal and my BP has been under 120/80 with a pulse around 60 for 2 months now.

Adverse events were reported in 28% of patients treated with lacidipine and in 48% of patients receiving amlodipine.

@The Midnight Hour with Carolyn Yours is a valid point also. Perhaps there is a balance between the two.

Apparently, K2 removes the calcium and redistributes it into the bones and teeth. Maybe the solution is to just take K2?

About 5 years ago, my blood pressure was at a point where my Dr wanted me on medication. 155/90. Dr prescribed a calcium channel blocker, Amlodipine. Caused headaches initially and increased heart rate. Within three weeks, BP was 185/100. He took me off it but not before I ended up in hospital, on stroke watch with a BP of 220/110. I lost18 lbs in that time for no reason. It took 2 months to get my BP down to safe levels. Eventually a specialist put me on an ARB and within a week I was perfect. Had to lower the dose twice, to the lowest and BP stays steady around 115/70. Amlodipine is toxic to some people, like me, and the body has to purge it which, caused the weight loss. It is cheap and gets prescribed quite a bit. Beware.

Ken, I just wanted to say thank you for this vid. I've known I had high BP for a couple decades. Started out a little high and continued to climb to where I'm at today. Went to the ER for a pain I had and they went through the whole thing. Two blood draws, 6 hrs on the EKG, 2 chest xrays. Turns out all the blood work came out good, xrays fine, EKG fine but blood pressure was way high. An injection brought it down part way but the Dr. wanted it lower so he gave me a small pill. After monitoring me he sent me home. I had an appointment today with my new Primary Care Dr. (didn't have a Dr. for the last 10 years). He did his work and prescribed me LOSARTAN. Prior to leaving the house I watched this vid and wrote down all of the medications and your ranking. The instant the Dr. said what he was going to prescribe I pulled out my list and saw that it was favorable for someone in my situation. That brought comfort to me so, thank you for that.

My friend had been on ace-inhibitor plus thiazide diuretics for blood pressure. I asked her to do a PTH hormone test to see whether the diuretic had an effect on electrolytes and turns out PTH was above max with calcium normal. Her parathyroid was working overtime to keep the calcium levels steady. This was confirmed after she quit the diuretic only, her PTH went back to normal levels within a month. They don't always work as advertised.

So happy to run across this video, my son was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes. He is doing very low carb, got off the soda pop and the BP medicine is safe according to this video.

Dr. Berry, thank you for this important information. A 68yo female with no other health conditions has been on Hydrochlorothiazide and Metoprolol for 10 years and started Keto 5 years ago. Unlike her spouse, she has been unable to achieve any weight loss or other noticeable metabolic improvements. Could the increased blood sugar side effects be aggravating and maintaining her insulin resistance?

5'10, 128 lbs, F, 42 yrs old, athletic. I've suffered from HBP since my 20s. I didn't take it seriously until 3 yrs ago and was put on propanolol and clondine (also for ADD). It changed my life! I had excessive sweating since age 15, now it's 90% cured. I also suffered from chronic tension migraines since adolescence and that problem is completely gone. BP meds have improved my life so drastically that I would never not take them. To each their own.

Sometimes it’s just hereditary. Grandma had it at 16. My sister 18 and me 20 years old. I’m 56 now and still taking it. So is my sister. No health problems except hbp. Go figure 🤷🏼‍♀️

Clonidine makes me feel sick like a bad flu with headache. Glad it worked 4 U.

Propranolol is one of the drugs they recommend for migraines. It's great for anxiety.

Wanted to share my experience with hydrochlorothiazide. I took it for a decade and one day I broke out in a rash on my arms that spread over my whole body. After 9 months and 3 doctors and a skin biopsy I found out I had developed an allergy to that med. It started to clear about a week after I after I quit taking it. None of my doctors thought that my rash had anything to do with my meds. I had to do a lot of my own sleuthing to figure it out.

I'm 48 and was diagnosed with hbp in my early 20s. And I was the fittest I ever was at the time. I've been on losartan,metoprolol & hrtz the whole time and never was told about the testosterone & sugar increase possibilities. Low and behold i got diabetes about 3yrs ago. Time to see if reduction is possible.

I started drinking Hubiscus tea Organic 2-3 times a day, I’m off of all of my meds now. I can’t say it will help you. But it worked for me.

I have just today been diagnosed with hypertension by a hospital cardiologist and will be collecting my first prescription tomorrow morning. I was told the name of the drug but have forgotten. I will, however, be immediately checking it against Dr. Berrys list and hopefully it is one of the (relatively) safe ones.
