Hej Sten. En liten undran. Jag har precis börjat med Keto och har stött på patrull. Under januari så tog jag bort allt snabbt socker men åt fortfarande en mindre del kolhydrater. Sen från 1 Feb så har jag gått över på strikt Keto. Men…. Senaste två dygnen så har jag haft hemska myrkryp i armar och ben. Jag har även varit mkt kall i armar och ben så jag förmodar att jag har haft svårt att syresätta dem. Sen idag så vaknade jag med ett hemskt illamående. Jag var också mkt darrig och hade en törst som inte var av denna värld. Efter att ha vaknat med illamående så började jag sen kräkas. Hade inget i magen så det var mest galla. Darrningarna och törsten tilltog. Jag försökte dricka vatten men kräktes bara upp det. Hade också svårt att få i mig luft. Min fru åkte hem från jobbet och gav mig ett glas vatten med 1 krm salt och 1 tsk socker. Jag drack det och även lite blåbärssoppa med socker. Efter jag fick i mig detta så började jag sakta bli bättre och när det värsta gick över så svimmade jag av och fick sova i 4h. Jag har psoriasisartrit och sedan 7 månader tillbaka så har jag inflammation i mina lungor som läkarna inte vet varför jag fått. Jag har ätit Keto för ca 5år sedan och mådde då mkt bra, så min tanke med keto-dieten är att om möjligt få bort mina led-problem och även den här lunginflammationen som aldrig vill ge med sig. Jag förmodar att det jag drabbades av idag är ngn form av akut Metabolisk Acidos som förvärrades pga att jag har svårt att göra mig av med CO2 pga mina problematiska lungor. Jag vart ganska rädd av vad som skedde idag. Kräktes oavbrutet hela dagen och törsten var så kraftig i kombination med andningssvårigheter och darrningar. Så nu vet jag inte riktigt hur jag ska gå vidare. Om jag vågar fortsätta med strikt Keto. Jag ska handla in lite vitamin tillskott med extra elektrolyter. Har druckit vatten med lite bakpulver för att om möjligt öka på PH värdet och få bort lite syra. Med vänlig hälsning

Doing intermittent Fasting. My diabetes was getting worser last year, and unfortunately doctors sent me to the foot doctor‼️ for the swelling caused by Diabetes‼️ Bloods was taken, but weeks later proved nothing because I'm on KETO and they don't know for some dumb reason. So, I told them and visited numerous times still no correct diagnosis. It's tough, a lot of times symptoms are hard to tell, and it's easy to be nutrient deficient. Lack of exercise is also tough because of my given situation of sitting. I can't do the things I used to do because of this situation I'm in, and it was doing good but now it got worser suddenly. Legs got swollen up again even though I was doing good on KETO, still doing one meal a day then IF.

I have been on Bp medicine for approximately 2 years & just recently my new Dr realized my situation is white coat fear & anxiety /stress! I’m now on Atenolol low dose so far and oh my goodness my Bp is back to normal & I feel much more calm heart not racing! The first day taking the new medication I felt the difference. Good to know I’m headed in the right direction. Have started looking into yoga & meditation also joined a gym.

After I got Covid, my blood pressure spiked and I easily get fatigued or short of breath walking short elevated distances or even climbing the stairs. What you discussed make sense. Might have to go for another check-up.

[@djnv4702]

Yeah seems to have happened to me as well. I got COVID about 3-1/2 weeks ago. Seemed to be relatively mild but the fatigue was horrible. Now I have off and on issues with feeling tired when walking. Some days seem ok and others not as good. I went to doc and she ran my bp numbers (high) and cholesterol high. I started intermittent fasting and two healthy keto meals a day. She wants me to go on cholesterol meds. Ugh! Im going to try to turn around with good eating and walking. 🙏🏼

I’m so lucky I have always had very good blood pressure. I had my labs done a couple weeks ago because I’m on blood thinner and they wanted a physical. My blood pressure was 120/76. Very important that people keep an eye on this for sure.

[@STOPPOLICECORRUPTION]

What about Potassium Chloride deficiency. I had heard the body needs about 3000 - 4700 mg of Potassium each day. Most may get a good amount through diet, but those fasting can take a no sodium salt. Since Potassium supplements are federally limited to 99mg. I heard that if you are low in Potassium than your body will retain Sodium to compensate thus having the ability to raise blood pressure.

[@j.b.4340]

Thank you. I’ve had elevated blood pressure since I was 18. I just recognize it, and try to cope, by avoiding stress. (I’m surrounded by stress). I’ve had a nose bleed for twenty years.

For anyone interested. I watched many videos and managed to get my bp down to well within normal limits. 1) Reduced the amount of fat heavy meats I was eating and cut right back on sugars. 2) Eat as much as you can: Cayanne chilli, apples, red onion. 3) Meditate when you can even just for 10 minutes at a time. 4) Increase exercise and when walking places even at the shops just walk faster. 5) Apple cider vinegar, lemon water mix once a day.

When I was in my mid 20’s, I joined a fitness program where I did 45mins of intense workouts 5 days a week. My blood pressure before I began the program was about 120/80, the “Normal.” After about 12 week on the program, my blood pressure dropped down to 98/60😮Quite low but I felt great!

I was standing and could walk to the bathroom. The symptom I felt was chest pain. Emergency Dr. Ordered IV and 2 more agents as top-up and ECG. They didn't tell me what possible cause of this extreme BP reading. I was visiting my mother and I was at the right time, right place.

So i keep hearing Dr Ekberg say insulin resistance is a problem. Strangely, my parents do not have sugar issues but they have been having high blood pressure for years. And my BP is borderline high (130-140/90-100) and my sugar is perfect. My husband is Type 2 diabetic but his BP and heart rate is absolutely amazing. He eats pretty unhealthily. Seriously baffling.

[@gloriamaryhaywood2217]

Genetics tend to play a heavy role in some instances! Same as kidney disease, heart problems, ect., tend to run in certain families?🤔

[@smthone]

Always a good idea to have a home BP monitor, especially if you have family history of HBP. Great for your family Dr to see the trend of your BP readings over time rather than just the one Dr visit every couple years to go on.

I really like how you talked about the blood pressure and how you talked about that good things that we think that blood pressure sometimes gets acquainted to isn't always about blood pressure but so I thought the different things that go along with it as you were explaining that made a lot of sense and I you know I like how your videos teaches to question things that we here

I've had severe hypertension since I was 11 years old. Ive never had any of the associated side effects from it. I'm afraid I'll die young, but never any headaches. When I was a kid I'd get nose bleeds a lot but they stopped before I got diagnosed with it. I was never obese either. Always ate pretty healthfully. I don't have a sweet tooth and carbs have always made me sleepy so I avoided them always. Still I'll check my BP and normal for me is 140+/90+ I could have a stroke at any minute. It's been going on for decades and I have not been regularly medicated. 158/104 60bpm currently. Just got out of bed.

[@Asynchh]

You should start taking care of yourself. Stroke level bp is consistently over 200/100. I am a stroke survivor and now on meds. It’s around 100/70 now. I walk 5 miles everyday and practice mindfulness and deep breathing to help me. I included lots of fruits and veggies in my diet and limited sodium and increased intake of potassium rich food. Hope your bp gets to normal level soon!

I recently spiked in my bp. Dr. Put me on an additional high blood pressure med that gave me severe foot cramps. The meds were changed and the cramps went away but I had trouble breathing. Sent to hospital for X-rays and blood tests. Dr. Thinks it may be my medication change as my bp went crazy low. Friday she will see the blood test. But considering it may be the level of the med and will reduce me from 30 to 20 on that med.
