Live healthy!! Eat right!
Exercise!!
This supplement helps with this and that and also gives a boost to, etc…
Take this med to help with your anxiety… GREAT! NOT!!
These days, so many individuals are suffering from high blood pressure! Almost every
healthy supplement states- will help lower your blood pressure.
Fantastic, RIGHT?
WRONG!
There are some of us who have a naturally low blood pressure.
Mine happens to be around 90/60!
If I lower it anymore, I’ll be on the floor! ha!
My standard heart rate equals 57. Not too bad, eh?
Walking around in a dazed, weakened stupor is not only dangerous
but DEFINITELY NOT FUN!
Interestingly enough, as most of my friends are being told to watch their salt intake,
I have instructions to increase mine. Hey! What can I say? SORRY!
Much like my dad, I have always been a pepper lover!! If it’s not covered in black,
delectable, coarse speckles, it needs more! 😉
Yesterday, for Valentine’s day and my 57th (eek!) birthday, I had a scheduled primary care visit.
**He is literally taking me off my 12 year anti-anxiety regiment of 1.5 xanax in am, .5- 2 hours later, .5- 2 hours later and .5 at bedtime- cold turkey and switching me to 1mg of lorazepam twice per day, and upping my 25 mg Topiramate to twice per day.
I checked with the local pharmacist. She is not impressed that he is having me quit xanax cold turkey, but said is should not be life threatening. GOOD NEWS!
Unfortunately, I will be experiencing withdrawals. OH SHUCKS!
I am researching, things to have on hand for healthy cleansing/nutritious smoothies, hydration and whatever else I can find.
Here is THE CHALLENGE for all my
HEALTH CONSCIOUS friends out there:
Find me some healthy lifestyle foods and smoothies,
that will “NOT DECREASE” my blood pressure,
PLUS
Any HELPFUL TIPS you can give me, to get through this transition
will be way beyond appreciated. (I am literally scared sh*tless)
Anxiously, awaiting your comments!!
Kind Regards and Happy Friday- K

I also have low blood pressure and low blood sodium. The doctor told me to eat extra salt every day. I’ve never been on xanax, but my husband was, and he came off of it cold turkey without any problems, but he hadn’t been on it 12 years. My doctor put me on a beta blocker for anxiety. He said I actually have an irregular heartbeat that has been causing the feelings of anxiety. Since I’ve been on that med, my anxiety literally has disappeared! Best wishes, and I’ll be thinking of you as you change meds. I hope you have no problems at all!
