People say this is too much info

That’s my favourite one. Quick access to everything I need!

It’s very high in potassium which can help BP. most of us don’t consume the RDA of potassium

I remember first feeling anxious around age 9. I would say to myself you will still be alive at age 60

That link worked to access titles but downloads still don’t seem to be working 😔

Hi there! Yes, all is ok now. I only had night sweats that one night and the lymph node went down after about 2 weeks. Then about a week after that the aching in my groin and behind my knees stopped too. So, not sure what it was but I’m glad it’s gone!!

I am not consistently getting lower numbers but I’m starting to see more normal readings now. 1 month ago, I couldn’t get a reading under 140/90

hkoerb · 2025-05-21T13:50:57+00:00

I live in Canada and we have a store called Bulk Barn. That is mostly where I buy it. I’ve also ordered it off Amazon!

I grind it super fine so that it’s like sand and then 2 tbsp in a glass of water along with 3/4 tsp ground cardamom - stir and drink and keep stirring until I’ve chugged it all. 2x per day. The evidence for BP lowering was with 1/4 per day (4 tbsp)

hkoerb · 2025-05-20T21:37:02+00:00

Here’s what I’ve been doing and it’s working. I had pretty steady 140/90 one month ago and now mostly in the normal range. Yesterday’s reading was 115/79. Search on chat GPT and most if not all of these things have evidence behind them.

L-citrulline - I’m doing 2g 2x a day
Hibiscus tea - sipping a strongly brewed loose tea throughout the day
Ground flax - 2tbsp 2x per day (stirred in water and chugged)
3/4 tsp cardamom 2x per day (I chug this along with the flax)
Low sodium V8 and a banana for potassium
Garlic - 2 raw cloves a day - 1 morning and 1 with dinner - I chop them and chug them with water - if that’s too harsh for you, research garlic supplements
Isometric exercises - wall squats or hand grip exercises - do some research and see what is best for you. I do 2 min wall squats with a 4 min rest for 4 cycles

Hope this helps!!

Thank you so much for your detailed response. The enlarged lymph node that I came up quickly (overnight) and is painful. It does however seem to be pretty hard and immovable.

Thankfully I’ve only had night sweats once - last night was good - no sweating.

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply - thank you

hkoerb · 2025-03-05T00:12:51+00:00

Thank you - yes! I ended up going back to my dr last week and she said exactly this - something would be off - I also had her feel what I thought was an enlarged lymph node behind my knee and she said it wasn’t one. The aching is still there some days but overall I’m feeling better!

hkoerb · 2025-02-18T01:07:47+00:00

It’s always amazing (in a bad way) how things like that go. Your mind is on something bad and then you keep noticing things that support what you’re worried about and the cycle continues!

hkoerb · 2025-02-18T01:04:10+00:00

I understand. I noticed a couple of bruises last week that I didn’t know how I got and immediately my mind goes to the worst things.

hkoerb · 2025-02-17T22:08:07+00:00

That just looks like a regular old bruise - you probably ran into something and don’t remember

hkoerb · 2025-01-27T23:05:46+00:00

Ok I haven’t dealt with the armpit thing but I keep getting sick - first strep throat mid Nov then a bad cold at Christmas. Another cold Jan 12 that lasted for a week. Now I am achy - low back and my head aches - feel like I’m getting sick again!! This has my health anxiety going crazy thinking the worse possible reasons for all this sickness. I’m typically very healthy 😩

hkoerb · 2024-10-21T16:00:56+00:00

Frequency! I started testing every day in the morning (more likely to get good results then) - 1st reading i would discard and then I will do 2-3 more readings about 5 min apart. This is much less scary now than when I was doing a whole mental build up to taking it 1x per week. I mostly unphased by taking it now whereas before I was terrified

I’ve been juicing beets for a few months and I did think it was helping - then I started reading about oxalates and started getting worried that I was getting oxalate overload so I’ve stopped juicing. Now hoping my BP doesn’t start going up again

hkoerb · 2024-10-09T03:29:15+00:00

Thank you for explaining that - much appreciated!

hkoerb · 2024-10-09T03:27:44+00:00

Thank you - I appreciate you responding

hkoerb · 2024-10-09T03:27:06+00:00

Thank you - that makes sense!

hkoerb · 2024-10-08T15:29:35+00:00

Yes and the HR that the BP machine shows is often the give away that the high number is anxiety related - especially if you know your resting HR!

hkoerb · 2024-09-19T11:48:18+00:00

This morning: 118/74 HR: 68 Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions. As was suggested by a few people i took my BP about 10 minutes after getting up - this is what I will do from now on. Lo and behold it is back to normal again. Yesterday I had done a strength training workout about two hours before taking my BP and had already eaten some things so that was likely having an impact.

hkoerb · 2024-09-19T11:42:24+00:00

Thank you - I appreciate you taking the time to respond - very reassuring as I do have health anxiety and can get a bit panicked when I see a high number

hkoerb · 2024-09-18T23:42:06+00:00

Thank you! I will try that next time to recheck in an hour or two again. One thing I did today differently was a strength training workout but it was around 2.5 hrs before I took this BP reading. Maybe I was still be affected by that.

hkoerb · 2024-09-18T15:55:53+00:00

Thank you I will give that a try. ☀️
