Husband With Isolated Systolic Hypertension
My husband, 70, just found out he has isolated systolic hypertension at his VA appointment. Not sure what they're going to prescribe. Yet years ago, they weaned him off atenolol because he has a very low heart rate. Not sure if we should try carditone because I don't want his diastolic to go lower. From what I've read today, it can be dangerous having high systolic, such as strokes, heart attacks, etc. We are both doing intermittent fasting to improve our health. We avoid desserts, and eat pretty healthy.
Hollyhock,
Definitely not Carditone. You can give consideration to ubiquinol / CoQ10 because it has shown not to affect diastolic very much as discussed here :
Here is a relevant quote from the article :
' Although more research is needed, current studies suggest that supplementing with CoQ10 may decrease systolic blood pressure levels for some individuals, although diastolic levels were only minimally affected in this research. '

Hi Hollyhock
I have read that inhaling Rosemary Oil throughout the day will balance your blood pressure. What I did was every morning I put a few drops on a kleenex and sniffed it every few hours. It really works, if you are high, it will bring it down, if you are low, it will bring you up. Amazing!
God Bless

Marg, according to dissenting doctors, 138 is normal BP. Medicine has been pushing the numbers downward to make more money off hypertension drugs. The Midwestern Doctor on substack has written on it extensively.

Deficient in B vitamins, especially B1. I copied this section: "TTFD" in the context of high systolic blood pressure likely refers to "Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide, " a form of vitamin B1 (thiamine) that some research suggests may have potential benefits in managing high blood pressure, particularly isolated systolic hypertension, due to its ability to potentially relax blood vessels and improve blood flow.
Also remember to pair with Magnesium and Potassium. Magnesium spray under tongue or in a little juice, and a sports drink called Bodyarmour contains plenty of magnesium. Get him on subliminal B complex vitamins too.
