Hi all,
My s/o is still not doing well on blood pressure meds. He's the one who won't take
more than 3 grams of vitamin C, and 1 gram of lysine.
At least he hasn't has any new issues with strokes (he's a stroke survivor) or heart problems,
but its seems he still needs the drugs to control his blood pressure. This despite the fact
that the doctor took him off of all blood thinners after a scan showed his arteries are
clear. If his arteries are really clear, how can he still be having high blood pressure?
He's now taking nitroglycerin for blood pressure, and hydralazine. He's been through
everything else, all with horrible side effects, and he's still having horrible
side effects. Now he's got kidney issues, and looks like diabetes is right around the
corner too now (high fasting blood sugar).
He's also very tired all the time, depressed, and apathetic. I don't know how much of
that is caused by the drugs, and/or how much just by the stroke. He often gets really
horrible stomach pains that make him sick. When that happens, he can't work that day.
I had high blood pressure (as high as 150 / 90 or so), but the vitamin C takes care of it
quick. I wish I understood why.
I don't know what to do to convince him to try a higher dose of vitamin C.
Should I just try to educate us both about the corrupt medical industry?
He got to this point by ignoring his health, now he meekly does what he
is told by doctors.
