Blood Pressure Medication Side Effects

All medicines have certain side effects but these side effects are different in different people, but if you are lucky you might have no side effect. No medicine is side-effect proof. But if you are feeling that certain medicine is causing some side effects, then you should discuss it with your doctor. Doctor might change it. Sometime over dose also cause some side effects. In some cases the medicines have no side effect but it reacts with some other medication that you are using for some other disease. So keep your doctor aware of all medicines that you are using.

A controlled diet can help a lot if a person is suffering from high blood pressure. Here we will discuss some common diet tips, diet plan and finally a good diet chart to help High Blood Pressure patients maintain a controlled blood pressure.

High Blood Pressure Diet Tips

• Make least use of salt in your diet.


• High sodium diet increase blood pressure. So not only salt but also other food materials which contain sodium should be avoided.


• Fruits should be eaten as much as you can. They are high in potassium, magnesium and fiber, which are good for blood pressure patients. Sodium is negligible in fruits.


• Legumes, nuts and seeds are also good source of magnesium.

High Blood Pressure Diet Plan

Prepare a diet plan which is low in fat and salt. Make a plan for complete week, so that the diet is rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

Quantity of sodium should be 2300mg per day. But if your age is above 51 years then it should be around 1500mg per day.

Always plan food items to shop. Give time to prepare the list and then stick to that list while shopping. Sometime we shop a lot of junk food if we are shopping in an unplanned manner. Junk food is most unhealthy way of diet. A blood pressure patient should be aware of his/her diet and don’t eat junk food.

High Blood Pressure Diet Chart

Prepare a diary and make entry of your daily diet. In long run it can help you in diagnosing which food item is having bad impact on your health and then you can reduce or stop taking that particular food item.

Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)

Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are the main gases dissolved in our blood. There is more oxygen in arterial blood, while there is more Carbon Dioxide in Venous blood. Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) test measures the acidity (pH) and levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. The normal values of ABG differ in people living at different height from sea level. So normal values of ABG in New York might differ from normal ABG values in Washington DC. We will provide Arterial Blood Gas Value chart for people living at sea level. If your ABG differ from it, then refer to normal value shown by the lab in your locality. Dont conclude a result after checking the values in your ABG test report. If you find the values differ a lot, then its better to get it verified by a doctor.

Which conditions can affect your Arterial Blood Gas Values

• If you are having abnormally high or low body temprature, i.e. Fever or hypothermia.
• Anemia or polycythemia which affects the oxygen carried by blood.
• Active or passive smoking just before test can affect test adversely.
• A closed room which is freshly painted or varnished can also affect the result.

So have you recovered from the gluttonous feast known as Thanksgiving Dinner? Is it just my Hungarian clan or can your family turn a holiday (emphasis on day) into a weekend eat-a-thon too? Lordy! And to think I used to partake in the spree. Yikes, my insides hurt just thinking about all the calories and cholesterol.

While I no longer gorge myself on the traditional T-Day fare, I do partake in foods much richer than Im accustomed to eating — walnuts, pecans, almonds, dates, raw honey. I typically eat very simple meals of fresh fruits, veggies or sea vegetables, and my first meal of the day is always freshly extracted juice.

I noticed a difference in how I felt as soon as I opened my eyes on Friday morning. Heavy. Sluggish. A little bit fuzzy in my thinking. I didnt like it. Crazy to think that I used to feel that way all.the.time. Ick!

When I learned that Sunday was International Juice Feasting Day, I was all, "Count me in!" As I said, my first meal of the day is always a quart of juice, but sometimes I like to give my body a break and juice all my meals. After all, digestion is hard work. A periodic juice fast, or extended feast, is a wonderful practice to adopt.

People from 16 different countries joined Dave the Raw Food Trucker on Sunday for the first International Juice Feasting Day. If you dont know Dave, do yourself a favor and watch some of his YouTube videos. Heres a recent one I particularly love. Daves been juice feasting for 120 days and has dropped over 200 pounds. He has experienced an astounding transformation physically, emotionally and spiritually.

But one neednt juice feast for 120 days to benefit. My friend Kristen Suzanne calls fresh vegetable juice "plant blood" and I think its fitting for something thats loaded with organic water, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

A juicer will separate the juice from the fiber, leaving you with only pure organic hydration. Thats water derived from plant sources, folks, and its essential for encouraging and nourishing healthy cells.

By removing the fiber, our digestive systems get a break and that nutrient-rich plant blood can pass directly into our bloodstream and start going to work on a cellular level. Its a terrific way to supercharge your immune system and purge loads of toxins from your body.

On International Juice Feasting Day, I enjoyed a quart of Beetific Elixir and a couple quarts of this Green Lemonade:
1 bunch Romaine
2 stalks celery
1 cucumber
1 handful dulse
2 Gala apples
1 lemon
1 inch fresh ginger root

Would you ever consider doing an extended juice feast like Dave?
