For example, eighteen percent of people with high blood pressure can reduce the pressure by taking simple calcium supplements. That study was funded by a company manufacturing calcium-channel blockers, for whom I worked briefly two decades ago. A long, long time ago, when Obama was a gleam in his father's eye, I worked in college in a behavioral science lab and we experimented with use of conditioning to reduce blood pressure.
I would like to know if MCT OIL ( from coconut) any good for losing fat and for a diabetic diet? It has lots of CV benefits as well as anti- inflammatory fungal anti bacterial and antiviral . These are the studies

Before I was on beta blockers, marijuana did not help because it raised my heart rate making my symptoms worse. But on beta blockers, I find that using marijuana helps so much! I smoke a little bit when I need to have energy and it is amazing what a difference it makes. Coming down can be a bit rough sometimes, but honestly, I don't think I could go on every day without my medical marijuana supply. Does anyone else find marijuana helps?
And I have basically continued to watch what I eat. Has this happened with anyone else? Do other beta blockers have this effect as well? My husband is on a beta blocker, and he does not have this problem.
IST is exceptionally hard to manage, and often is either just tolerated or managed with medications such as beta blockers (which if the asthma is very severe, can be exacerbated by beta blockers). Ablation of the sinus node is rarely performed and done and if so, only in the most severe cases. This is because the sinus node is smaller in size, and management of IST often means that the entire sinus node can be damaged.
ve been on them for a month or so.
m taking beta blockers. My PACs respond well to beta blockers but sometimes they break through the beta blockade. It typically happens if I'm on a low carb diet (for some mysterious reason I haven't yet figured out)
Lifting weights is notorious for provoking premature beats. The adrenaline levels in your blood can increase 100 times from baseline, and the heart rate isn't as high as during aerobic exercise.
It happened again last night, and the only explanation I have for it is a very heavily carb-laden meal late in the evening. A couple of weeks ago, and I can't believe I'm saying this, I think eating a very large pomegranate late in the evening caused it. Same MO...heart rate upper 80s/lower 90s sustained for hours.
Timing of bolus dose prior to eating can help with post eating highs and lows. Low carb eating can also help greatly with reducing insulin dose and reducing those swings. With very low carb eating and insulin i can mostly keep my sugars in range of 70 - 110 range. Monitor closely as you eat low carb as your insulin requirements may drop dramatically.
Dr richard bernstein book diabetes solutions, presents his teachings on low carb and diabetes management.
The post eating numbers should guide you on adjusting your meals. Typically most people find that eating low carb meals will help in lowering blood sugars.
Are you on insulin? IF you are, then it is also important to check before meals to see if you are back to normal numbers, or too low, or too high before you ate.
You may also use blood sugar results to gauge the effects / benefits of exercise on your blood sugar levels.
Hi there. Beta blockers are known for causing a good lot of side effects.Most of the BP meds have side effects, but its a bit of a price that has to be paid for the benefits of lower HR and lower BP.
Has anyone had PAC/PVC that have turned into a more dangerous rythmn. Or do they always stay the same. I have also heard about calcium channel blockers how do they differ from a beta blocker are there more side effects?
I wouldn't buy into any 'magic cures' like that- it's probably true that there could be benefits to something like that (although off hand, I don't know about this one specifically)- but it's not going to cure medical issues like diabetes. It would be nice if it were true though, wouldn't it?
Even for high risk thyroid cancer patients, under .05 TSH is very low. I think your GP was right in changing your dose. It can take up to 6 weeks to feel the effects of the higher dose. If, once your TSH is in the target range (I'm not positive, but I think between .1 and .5) if you still are having a fast resting heart rate, the doctor can put you on a beta blocker. In the 23 years I've been taking Synthroid I've been on beta blockers at various times and it is very helpful.
I am 76, had only one episode of tachycardia at 74 1/2, was medicated with two beta blockers, weaned off one with no problem, have weight-trained and run (now jog) for 35+ years, have large right atrium, take cozaar with no problems, and accepted the operation for a pacemaker set on at 60 (it was 40 to 50 bpm from years of running) with no problems. I have not had any further problems since the original flutter was easily stopped by cardioversion. Blood pressure is well controlled.
I was recently put on a beta blocker for my hypertension. I also starting exercising again after 5 years. I am 43 years old with a 4 yr old and a 18 month old. I can't get my heart rate up enough to see any benefits of the exercise after 1 month. I sweat, but I never get to the 'fat burning' level. Do I need an alternative medication? What are my options?
