Common Questions and Answers about Omega 3 high blood pressure

omega-3

1762978 tn?1313614515 Krill oil is high in EPA and DHA, two forms of omega 3 fatty acids which can lower cholesterol and some believe it can lower blood pressure as well by helping control LDL, reducing the amount of plaques in your arteries and thinning your blood. None of this has been proven. There are a couple things to remember before you start using krill oil. First, it is a supplement and as such is not controlled by the FDA.
Avatar n tn I am 35 years old and never thought I had HIgh Blood pressure until recently. As I am into my higher studies, when visiting the doctor for a fall, they told me I had high pressure readings of 160/110. My pulse was also high, ( I was diagnosed with tachycardia some years ago which was again put down to stress.) They put it down to anxiety and stress, and gave me atenenol 25 mg. Since then I have developed a fear, and my pulse raises whenever the doctor checks my pressure, and my pressure is high.

1655526 tn?1330655629 I know that omega 3 is really supposed to be good for the heart, but I get palps after I take them for 3 days, especially krill oil. I've read in this forum that others have also had adverse reactions to taking this supplement. So I wanted to put this poll out to see how omega 3 affects you. The first time I suspected krill oil, which is supposed to be the best omega 3, I used the process of elimination. Still not believing it I did it a second and third time.
Avatar f tn I'm taking pregnancy multivitamins and I'm also on iron tablets 3 times a day but someone gave me omega 3 tablets and I'm unsure if to take them because it says it can lower blood pressure but I've been told mines quite low already and I'm not sure if they will interfere with my iron tabs...
Avatar f tn however, my dad said that my blood pressure readings are too high. I wanted to know how to get them down. I stop using salt and use Mrs. Dash and Lemon Pepper to season food. My readings July 18 were morning 136/107, bedtime 147/115; July 19 Morning 136/101, After lunch 148/111 and Bedtime 144/115. This morning it was 141/108. I am taking Junumet for my Diabetes, but I am not on any blood pressure medicine. What are some other ways to bring it down.
Avatar f tn Please take a diet rich in multivitamins, multiminerals and Omega 3. Omega 3 fatty acids help in reducing the blood pressure. You need to exercise regularly. Even a brisk walk for 30 min. helps to bring down the blood pressure. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
Avatar f tn You should be taking omega 3 in any case. Statins, by lowering cholesterol, also interfere with the absorption of fat soluble nutrients, which of course includes omega 3. The most important for the heart is EFA, which is found in largest amounts in fish oil, but flax and hemp oil are also very high in omega 3 oils. But omega 3 oils don't do the same thing as statins. Statins lower LDL cholesterol, the bad kind, whereas omega 3 oils provide the good kind of cholesterol, HDL.
Avatar n tn Well, when you worry your blood pressure will go up. It feeds on itself. There's a new study out that showed Niacin can reverse stenosis (blockages). The intake was rather high but it's now clinically proven. A statin, like liptor or zocor can also reverse stenosis. If I were you I'd be thinking about all the ways the blockages can be reversed and attack it from all fronts. Medication, niacin, diet, exercise, lose weight if you have to.
Avatar f tn Taking a supplement is fine. Plenty of foods besides fish have omegas. And omega 6 and 9 are also important.
1324852 tn?1274769339 Alright, so I have another question about high blood pressure and heart disease. I just turned 18 about a couple of months ago and found that my blood pressure was a bit high. I've posted before my BP was 140/80, than checked it a couple of times and it was around 138/72 and 142/64. I've tried a lot of things, eating less, working out, and even cutting on the salt a bit, but it only seems as if my blood pressure is getting dramatically higher.
603543 tn?1255294450 m not trying to be a spoiler, but I did the Omega 3 thing for 6 months at high dosages. The Omega 3 suppliment I was using was top grade from a health store. It cost twice as much as other formulas because of it higher quality. 6 full months of this Omega 3 experiment produced absolutly no improvement in my Severe depression. Perhaps my condition is more severe than your and that's why I failed to respond to it.
Avatar n tn Good foods to eat are fresh vegetables, salmon with omega 3 (omega 3 is great for the heart), brown rice. Avoid fast food and processed meats.
Avatar f tn My husband used IV chelation to remove plaque. Before the chelation he had high blood pressure. After it, he didn't. Traditional medicine does not support chelation. But then, there are a lot of tried and true treatments that they don't support.
Avatar f tn It is known to lower blood pressure slightly but at what mg is the question. What are you taking it for if I may ask? Omega 3 fish oil supplements are typically recommended for a healthy heart but they can minimally affect blood pressure, lowering it, as well. I don't think either would harm you but please check with your doctor.
Avatar m tn Hello, I just started on HBP medication. I was about 156/92 about 1 week ago. Today I am at 110/69. I am losing weight and eating better than I did 3 months ago. 3 months ago I was at 230lbs, and I would always get these pains in my chest and my heart would beat fast. Current weight 207lbs. Cardiologist said I have too many extra beats and put me on Atenolol on Tuesday. But he doesn't know about my history of HBP from my family doctor. My BP had always been high since last year.
Avatar f tn My shitzu dog is 7 years old and has kidney stones and allergies.He also has high cholesterol(Cushings' disease suspected). He weighs about 10 lbs. Is it safe for me to give him omega 3 capsules and what should be the dosage? Thank you, Mrs.
Avatar f tn have them explain all the readings to you and ask about triclicerides(spelling?) your blood pressure is a little high but that could be because your anxious. do you have a blood pressure monitor at home? whenever i go to the dr. mines a little high because i'm scared, when i check it at home it's fine. if you type all day that might be the problem. try not to worry to much, your numbers look good. and i bet when you calm down your blood pressure will be completely normal. take care.
Avatar f tn I have high blood pressure and was put on meds after I had my second son, I am currently pregnant with baby #3 but I'm still on bp meds and it is under control but I also see my Dr. every 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks.
Avatar f tn But told me to tell them if I get top number of 140+ or bottom number of 90+. I am high risk for high blood pressure but so far my highest was 118/70 something. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Bupropion can cause pounding of heart and palpitations. It usually does not cause high blood pressure. If the high blood pressure is drug related, it will come down in 2-3 days. If the high BP persists, please get this investigated, monitored and treated. Take care!

Avatar m tn I love chocolate, and still indulge from time to time...but I will have to be the killjoy here on one point only...the sugar content and the way this triggers too much insulin as well as too much fat storage in the liver need to be weighed. Yes chocolate is high in omega 3's...that's a good thing...but ONLY if they haven't taken out the cacao fat and substituted another kind.
Avatar m tn Quite a complex topic this but at the same time an interesting one. Omega 3 isn't just one substance, Omega three are fatty acids just like Omega 6 fatty acids found in oils and meat etc. Omega 3 are EPA, DHA, and ALA . Some experts have said that the balance between Omega 6 fatty acids and Omega 3 is key, but just as many say this is nonsense. Omega 3 do have benefits, mainly reducing inflammation in the body, such as in the arteries or joints.
