I have a wrist monitor that I use most of the time.That wrist monitor is crap.
Just curious -Wrist monitor is consistently 20 points higher than the regular cuff.
Salt?Now if I could find the solution for my low pressure that sent me to ER, I will be fine.
Just curious -
Do wrist monitor's send data/readings to folks who decide things for you based on your vitals? Like... insurance rates, are you healthy enough to carry... you know, little things like that.
Salt?
After my appointment tomorrow (after blood tests), I am going to start choline and see what it does...My wife was affected in a big way by salt. One of her docs confirmed something she found on the internet. That sodium levels and potassium levels are intertwined. She increased her potassium intake and was able to decrease her BP meds.
I have no problem with the shingles vaccine. Known a number of people who had very painful, long enounters with the shingles. A couple of them had it almost get in their eyes, which can cause permanent damage.Pissed off more than one nurse requesting a larger cuff before starting; and proved to a couple of doctors that yes, it does make a difference.
Now, if they'll quit asking me whether I want a flu and shingles shot while they're doing it ...

Yeah higher at the Dr office and DentistBack in 2005 the optometrist saw something in my eye that concerned her, so she sent me to an eye doctor in Austin for further examination. They took my BP and it was 200 something over 100 something. They sent me to the OR.
Been on BP meds since. Now, depending on time of day and where I'm at, it ranges between 146/78 down to 111/68. It's always on the high end at the doctor's office.
Kind of strange. Some folks' BP seems very sensitive to salt intake, others not so. I have found that it makes no difference in mine.My wife was affected in a big way by salt. One of her docs confirmed something she found on the internet. That sodium levels and potassium levels are intertwined. She increased her potassium intake and was able to decrease her BP meds.
