I posted a while back about my Blood Pressure & how I quickly got it under control & everything was great. <\/p>\n

Well during my travels up in northland for 7 weeks I got slack. I took none of my BP lowering herbs, no hibiscus tea. I trained hard at the gym but ate burgers, fish & chips and entire tubs of chocolate ice cream. I gained 6 kg.<\/p>\n

Didn’t take my blood pressure monitor so had no idea what was going on.<\/p>\n

Well I am in Auckland now for a few days before heading south to Queenstown. Bought a new monitor & check. 180\/90<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes it was freaking heart attack level yesterday. I tested it about 20 times over the rest of the afternoon and evening. Average reading is 160\/90. Not good at all and I had a few spikes like 175\/100. Over night I checked twice 137\/96 & 150\/90 this morning.<\/p>\n

Following that early morning I had several normal readings. Yesterday I had only 2 normal readings out of 20 or so.<\/p>\n

Well I went & got my Mukta Vati pills & hibiscus tea. Dropped an aspirin too. No more junk food for me – ever I hope. It should come back down pretty fast I hope. If not medical assistance will be required. My symptoms? Zero. Wouldn’t have known without the monitor.<\/p>\n

Don’t let your guard down.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: 5th Jan 2021. Blood pressure back to normal this morning. 122\/80. Took 2 Mukta Vati pills twice a day. Hawthorn, coQ10, hibiscus tea & garlic. Also cut out all junk food & am mostly veg. So that’s it only 2 days to fix with correct herbs & diet. Most important to do slow belly breathing exercises & reset nervous system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
