That reinforces my beginning of taking them about 2 weeks ago. I’d been having BP issues and while I was taking a pretty low dose of prescribed Benazapril (since last Nov) I was still running pretty damn high and got sent over to the ER from an urgent care visit about a month back.

So, a couple weeks back I came across a study reporting investigation of Omega 3’s reducing blood VISCOSITY. I’d never seen this discussed in ANY media commentary about BP stuff, and from an engineer/science perspective it made sense that this was potentially an off the bandwagon pharmoindustrial complex “don’t go there. I’ve been taking them for about 2 weeks now and I had a follow up visit with my Primary Care Physician (PCP) (An RN who is WAY clued in) Thursday and my BP at the visit kick off was 132/72... Hmmmmmm

(My PCP is gold, I’m going to get around to asking about onboarding her and family into SHTF group.)

Thanks. Interesting... I was taking omega-3 along with turmeric.
I pretty much have no clues which is good or not good.
Omega-3 reports are all over the place.
When I stopped turmeric, i couldn't tell the difference.
I'll ask my Pharm D.(she is the monitor of my BP and Diabetes meds).

I changed my diet drastically and am taking lisinopril for hypertension.
Numbers have been looking like this lately: 115/66 - consistent.
as opposed to when i first started monitoring since 2020 - 150 to 170 over mid 70s to mid 90s.

Current numbers seem low to me but my "team" thinks the numbers are great.

Let me know how that turns out.

“...I’d been having BP issues...”

*****

At this point in the show, anyone NOT having blood pressure issues is probably totally ignorant while being unvaxxed, or room temperature.

Eng background? Not to steal Infool’s line, but welcome to my sub-party, pal!
