Husband With Isolated Systolic Hypertension

Posted By Hollyhock (America ) on 08/22/2023

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 :

https://www.forbes.com/health/healthy-aging/supplements-lower-blood-pressure/#:~:text=Meletis agree that CoQ10 shows, minimally affected in this research.

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

Gary
