It is encouraging to know that it is possible lower the blood pressure with suppliments.

I was diagnosed by my doctors with hypertension in Jan 2011 (141/93) and was put on medication Beta-blockers (Atenolol and Nifedipine combined) 50mg. The result was headache, weak muscle and light headedness. I also became very sleepy by noon and would would wake up quite letargic and lack of concentration.

I have also decided to drop the medication. I started with taking Celery and green apples recommended by my colleague, I then added raw garlic to the list. I have been taking these for around a week to 2.

After more reading, I included olive oil, omega-3 and Magnesium to the menu (for 2 days now).

I have only been off the medication since sunday, my blood pressure measured this morning was 133/88(pre-hypertension levels). I guess mine is still a long way to go.

Unfortunately, I come across this board a little too late. I stopped the medication abruptly, thinking that I did enough work to transit from medication to vegetable treatment. While my readings on blood pressure improves, same cannot be said about my heart. Due to the withdrawal syndrome of the drug, I am experiencing Palpitation in the afternoon, with heart rate at around 80-91. I am still experiencing light headedness and fainting sensation.
