This is what's helped:
1. Getting on the lowest dose necessary of telmisartan (an ARB) and amlodipine (a Calcium-Channel Blocker) (better to utilize multiple blood pressure medicine options at low doses than just one at a high dose)
2. Getting a prescription for the rare use of Clonidine for a spike that stays too long
3. A good regimen of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
4. More potassium and more sodium.
5. Supplements like arginine, ornithine, glutathione, and ashwaghanda, among a few others, to cover for noticed spikes, unless clonidine was already taken (choosing these over clonidine most all the time)
6. More exercise
7. Getting better, deeper sleep
8. Continuing to iterate to lower carb, better fat options and eating more veggies, fewer breads, pastas, sugars, etc.
9. Now utilizing NAC and glycine to help with glutathione exhaustion from blood pressure being too high for too long (doesn't help BP, but mitigates some damage from it)
There may be other things, but these come immediately to mind.
Thank you! Yeah, I’m great with low sodium but need to up the potassium. I’m going to take some of your notes here for my doctor visit on Friday. Thank you for sharing!!
