[@magnustrygg5632]

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

Well maybe I can UPDATE this,since I'm IR'd,and Diabetic. On FULL KETO Diet, I'm unsure what my BP is, but lately I haven't been feeling good at all , chest pains, constant burping while breathing. 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.

An upper arm monitor is best choice instead of a wrist monitor.

Dr Ekberg you help so much. Been with you for over a year now. Share you with my sisters. Please keep your video coming. We need you.

[@jamescps8799]

This KZbin video is 1000% more valuable then visiting the clinic, the doctor just told me I need to 'avoid sodium' and take the calcium channel blocker, the end, there is no other advice and the doctor also ignored my suggestion to change my lifestyle and diet. 😂

My BP was 255/165 HR - 89 O2 - 100% RR - 12 - 18 Bloodwork - only alert was Sodium- Low ECG and other tests - No structural issues with Brain ( no stroke), Heart ( markers for heart attack was negative ), and Kidneys phenomenal shape. 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.

[@robsalvv5853]

If you are waiting for any of these indicators it is a bit too late!!! I take my BP regularly with an OMRON BP device that wasn’t too pricey - much better to do this than wait for one of these signs! My BP was in the high normal range but after losing a little weight and adding Hawthorn and Omega 3 supplements, it is regularly below 120/80. Good health to you.

I have followed all your educative and life serving videos and I must admit that you a gifted teacher. I admire your clarity in a manner you approach different life serving topics. Notwithstanding the latter, you have changed my life for better because you made me understand what was triggering tinnitus and that was high blood pressure. I have changed my lifestyle by following your teaching and the ringing in my hear is gone and i have no potbelly anymore. Thank you Dr Sten Ekberg.

At one point in my life I was in the hospital and my blood pressure was 200/100 and the nurse called for an emergency doctor but she acted very quickly and gave me 2 mg of Ativan to bring me down immediately. I believe she saved my life.... That was the only time in my life that ever happened I believe I had had a mental break over trauma I had experienced.

[@lorinew-s2841]

A wrong size of cuff can also cause a inaccurate reading. If you have large upper arm, using a smaller cuff will show a higher reading. Most doctors have a standard size cuff which is really to small for some people.

[@mystcsoul777]

They eventually took my BP on my lower arm after making me levitate off the table. I was severely bruised. They tried 3 dif size cuffs and the calf before deciding the lower arm would be best.

I have high blood from my maternal genetics. When I total eat fruits and veggies, no Meds is required. My top number is crazzzy high 162/85. It ❤️ my systolic number.

[@OhPhilly]

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.

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.

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!

For those having teeth pulled, the Wisdom teeth are connected to the heart. There is a study of 32,000 people in which about 1100 had a stroke or heart attack with 30 days of having a tooth pulled. Believed from the clotting effect of Fibrin which in excess can be in your heart vessels. Dr. Brian Paris talks about this in promoting his enzyme product from Healthy Back Institute.

Usually, not always, when I first check my BP at home or a store with a machine, I’ll get a reading of 132/84 for example. But after 2-3 times while sitting and relaxing, it’ll drop to 117/79. Strange part is, sometimes at a doctor’s visit, it’ll get something like 144/95 😅

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 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.

[@claudehudson4428]

I have always wondered/asked why is it that doctors want everyone to have the exact same BP regardless of any physical factors like height, weight, exercise levels, family history, diet, etc. They just pick a number and if you don't have that number the one time they take your BP, you must go on meds. I have never had a doctor even try and offer a reason why, except of course to get you on meds and keep you coming back for more.
