[@briandavies1397]

YES! I lived the mis-diagnosed aldosteronism nightmare! Took my doctor FOUR YEARS of ADDING blood pressure meds to my cocktail to get me up to EIGHT different BP meds & diuretics, PER DAY-- I could barely get out of bed in the morning cuz of all the side effects, and my BP was STILL "emergency" high, EVERY DAY... After FOUR YEARS of this madness, he FINALLY sent me to a kidney specialist who diagnosed the problem in ONE visit -- a benign tumor, an "aldosteronoma" on my adrenal gland! Had the tumor removed, the adrenal gland stapled closed, and my secondary HBP was CURED! Not before losing a very successful photography business AND a marriage in the process though. I'm sure some of it was how poorly I was able to handle the whole thing, but this misdiagnosis pretty much changed the course of my entire life. 17 years later last year, my BP started to go up again. Went on Carnivore a year ago, lost 60 pounds, blood pressure is PERFECT again, with NO meds. Thanks, Doc. You are more appreciated than you'll EVER know.

[@teret6719]

[@Me-fg9ht]

Hi... I am diagnosed having a benign tumor on my left adrenal too, I haven't decided to have it removed since doctors will remove my left adrenal gland too together with the tumor. I am worried I would have hormonal problem with living just with one adrenal gland after that one is removed. Did your adrenal gland was removed together with the tumor? If so, did you have issue like I am worried about? I am from Indonesia, I asked doctors if they could just removed the tumor, but they said it's impossible. Which country did you have it removed?

[@briandavies1397]

​@@Me-fg9htNo issues at all. My surgeon only ended up taking half of my adrenal along with the tumor because it was right up against the main artery running down my spine and she was afraid of cutting into that artery. She ended up stapleing what was left of the adrenal closed, so it is now completely non-functional. I was worried too, about having only one adrenal gland. However, the surgeon assured me beforehand that, just as when someone donates a kidney, the remaining adrenal gland kicks it up and does double duty, and she was spot on because I've had no hormonal problems at all, at least that I know of. So no worries, go for it!

Try telling that to these wanna be doctors we visit everyday that just write prescriptions. You should actually call today and tell your husband’s doctor what he did, then tell him he’s fired. Man, I’d love to be in the room with that doctor when you call. Just think about how stupid he would feel after all the schooling he did, gets a job as a doctor, and his patients know more about nutrition than he does. Only seven hours of nutrition is the requirement for becoming a general practitioner.

[@laurabellgia8182]

My healthy and fit 40 yr old sister suddenly developed high BP. Multiple dr visits and tests revealed no known cause. She was ultimately diagnosed with anxiety and they prescribed several anti anxiety drugs ALL THE WHILE I KNEW she didn't suffer from anxiety. I kept encouraging her to see another dr and she bounced around from cardiologist to neurologists to rheumatoligists to multiple ER visits and nothing. Her symptoms grew worse and worse each year, and she was repeatedly told by all the EXPERTS it was all in her head. Finally a female internist TOOK THE TIME, 45 min, to listen to her and said she had a hunch what it was. She ordered a 24 hr urine test. She had a large pheochromocytoma tumor on her adrenal gland. She had endured YEARS of being told she was a psy patient, given psy drugs. She had it removed by s special team at USSF but still suffers from the after effects of it not being addressed early on. Blood pressure returned to normal right after surgery. None of her drs EVER apologized for scoffing at her.

[@aeiou0123]

Very similar happened to me except I was only 25yrs old. Can u believe doctors just saying i had anxiety or just putting a 25yr old on hbp meds without even investigating further to rule other causes of HBP? Cos I was too young and also slim, very fit. They just seem to practice lazy medicine or do what they know guarantees being paid by insurance

[@stargazerbird]

I have white coat syndrome. Blood pressure is fine at home. Same for my mother, who was on all the meds and turned out she didn’t need any of them. Same for my father in law. He was so over medicated he kept fainting. Since he got a new doctor and adjusted meds he is so much better all round.

[@bonniebenz8792]

I have the same issue. High BP in the office and good at home. My doctor said take your pressure every day at home, keep a log and bring it in along with your cuff to test accuracy. When she saw both she said You are fine, no meds for you

[@girlygirlhippy]

My husband only has white coat syndrome when he goes every year for his CDL. When he sees his regular doctor it's normal (he's a fit man) at home it's normal... He was literally forced to take blood pressure medication or lose his job he's been working at for 34 years.

[@amel2784]

So true! And If I try to correct them by saying, " Shouldn't I keep my arm in such and such a position?"... or "Do you have another size cuff?"... They always excuse their sloppiness. A few times I've insisted and wouldn't let them proceed when I thought that it was going to be important in my conversations with the doctor. Unfortunately they often get really irritated with you for messing up their routine to process you quickly. It shouldn't be that way but it's my health and the results can be devastating to me.

[@JoyfullyOrangeDeborah]

My hubby & I just had an argument about this last night! His BP was out of control & his doctor had tried multiple different combinations of meds. Then he checked the A1C, although labs showed glucose just over 100 every time, and said he was prediabetic. Gave hubby a choice of meds or diet. That started our eating change. He never took diabetes meds and got off all BP meds until he had a stroke at 70 (unknown cause) and those docs put him on a bunch (which after a couple years he quit most again). We've been regressing in our eating for the last few months and his BP has gotten erratic again. Time to quit cheating on the dessert carbs and get back to healthier keto again. He's 74 and i want to keep him around & healthy for more years! Thanks & Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!

White coat syndrome.

[@lenorawilkins2322]

Yes, i agree. Traveling to see the doctor, upon entering the clinic and exam room, the nurse quickly takes your blood pressure and of course it's going to be elevated, because you walked from your car to the room, which is exercise. I also believe the environment of the hospital setting contribute to in rease B/P with all the magnetic fields of the machines and lights. My doctor will recheck my b/p before i leave and it's usually down. I've been monitoring my b/p for over a year and what i discovered is that sugar is as much of a culprit in causing high blood pressure as sodium. I notice if i eat something sweet the next day, my b/p is elevated. So being consistent with monitoring your b/p and making some lifestyle changes will improve your b/p. I drink 2 ounces of beet juice daily, drink plenty of water, intermittent fasting, eat vegetables and minimize carbs. I'm currently taking 5 mg amlodipine, but my b/p has drastically decreased. Hopefully I'll be off meds soon.

[@Carnivore1959]

How do you know it's good unless tested?

[@ziriziri7075]

I was given medication for elevated blood pressure (initially measured at 155). However, after experiencing unusual symptoms within three days, I decided to discontinue the medication and explore an alternative approach. It's essential to acknowledge that doctors are knowledgeable, but proactive research before appointments is crucial(I didn't do my homework).So I opted for dietary changes, eliminating foods known to increase blood pressure, and gradually increased my exercise routine. I'm pleased to report that my blood pressure has improved to 126.Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Sanjay Gupta videos about blood pressure were insightful and very helpful.

[@angeloavanti2538]

I gave blood for over 22 years. Almost 4 times a year. I drank coffee since I was 5. I've been struck by lightning, broken numerous bones, etc... I was feeling hot inside. I never got cold. Didn't drink a lot of water. I could go on. Blood pressure went up a year after I gave up caffeine and stopped giving blood because of scare tissue and rolling veins. Otherwise healthy. Blood pressure went up. Doctor didn't want to hear about my past, didn't want to know about my observations. Only wanted to give me meds. I never get headaches, barely take 2 aspirin a year. Generally have no pains or discomforts. So as respectfully as I could I said 'no' to meds. I exercise, eat well and drink well. About 7 pounds heavier than high school. Not starting some meds to 'train' my body. I'll exercise more if needed. I do acupuncture and massage once a month too. Works for me.

[@geezerdude4873]

I have had good blood pressure for years (under 120/60) and good lab results. I was borderline obese with lots of exercise, and went on a keto diet to get down to where my weight should be for my age. Eating meat for a couple of months that had never touched a blade of grass, pork, chicken, feedlot beef, I had a "small" stroke, BP over 190/100. My verdict--low potassium, and they eventually did give me a potassium horse pill in the ER which brought by blood pressure down by over 40 points. The Keto diet is hard this time of year, until January, but trying to be good, and lick my metabolic syndrome.until I can go stricter keto. I am currently using grass fed meat, which is grass finished--and getting potassium (and magnesium). Also, being careful of hydroponic salad greens. as they are void of potassium, unlike greens grown in dirt. There is no accurate test for potassium as it is 90% inside the cells, and sodium is 90% in the fluids. I am 78. Those feedlot beef gobble feed because they are malnourished on food that is not the grass they are designed for, and the soybeans, corn, etc., are very low potassium or potassium free. That is why they get fatter--empty carbs. If you are not eating free range chicken eggs, you have the same problem--cow chow, chicken feed, pork chow, etc., are all very low or devoid of potassium.

[@xtaylor93x]

Glad you are doing better. I agree with this. Strict carnivore made my already low potassium an even bigger issue as my blood pressure was over 160/95. Added some keto items back with potassium electrolyte powder and it normalized in a few DAYS. Carnivore seems to cover me for almost everything, except potassium. I am fine with ketovore for now.

[@teret6719]

Thank you! I've been through hell trying to find treatment for my out-of-control hypertension. I've seen an NP, two MDs, and a nephrologist, all of which kept adding pills and upping doses. By the time the nephrologist got to me, I was taking 4 different meds without success, and horrible reactions to the diuretics. I hopped on the internet, and after many hours, discovered that I probably have Primary Aldosteronism. (age 63) I couldn't get anyone to run the tests, but the last dr was willing to let me try the spironolactone. I've gradually decreased dosages, (without prior authorization) and I'm down to one 25 mg of spironolactone and one 80 mg of valsartan per day. Oh and all of the medical professionals thought it just fine to prescribe diuretics that those allergic to sulfa drugs should never take, even with the horrible side effects/reactions that I was experiencing. Wheat and grain free for 9 years, and perfect kidneys.

[@Judeslovinlife]

My niece was recently diagnosed with Cushings at 18. She gained roughly 100lb before we figured out what was going on. Just had both adrenal glands removed.

Thank you, much appreciated, very informative and helpful.

[@slewis0688]

Thank you for this video. Finally have an explanation for all the BP problems I have. Will continue to push docs to help me find the underlying problem. I've not been successful yet, but I'm not one to give up. Thank you Dr. Berry! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@janjaylangelo4]

This is very enlightening Dr. Berry. I thank you so much. I would say i have 80% of the symptoms you mentioned. I have been so jealous of people commenting on your videos and other carnivore videos mentioning they have cleared their HTN does not take meds anymore while me i have been on carnivore for a year and no improvement on my BP. I would definitely talk to my doctor about this. Thank you so much again and God bless you more!!!

[@Jaquableu]

(Julia Wilson Tribe member) wow you look so good with the neatly trimmed beard! Turning back the hands of time you are with a proper human Carnivore diet. Me too! My BP is no longer stroke high. I have lost 60 lbs since Jan. I no longer have to use a cpap machine and my A1c has dropped from 12.6 to 7.2. About to check again and I expect it it now even lower. I owe you and the PHD my life. Thank you! And thank Neisha too!

[@marylynch951]

Thank you Dr Berry

[@rebeccaking1273]

My husband had secondary hypertension, his doctor was less then helpful just wanted to start medication right away we did the research we could and got a different doctor and he did a full "good" work up and he told us that my husband had extremely low vitamin d3 started a liquid supplement and within two weeks it was normal levels again.

[@wabbit6653]

I was put on 5 mg of BP medicine on a blood pressure reading of 142

[@ginoasci2876]

How about that. This awesome. If you kept that old doctor your husband would be on BP meds , and still have HBP. Love this success story !!

[@patriciavarga4084]

Thank you Dr Berry!

[@randybutler4772]

Thank you doctor for sharing. I found this very interesting.

[@scotthamlin9718]

I wonder how many people’s lives have been improved or even saved by you and others that explain keto and low carb and carnivore. We will never know but I’m thankful I found you about 4 years ago. 1 day late, Happy Thanksgiving to all that speak truth about diet and nutrition, greatly improved my quality of life!

[@RxHolisticNurseKathleen]

Totally agree with you! Been in the industry for 30 years, but have been holistic during that time as well and as I say every day, it’s not cookbook medicine, and we need to look at the whole person, body mind and spirit, and be very thorough. Thank you for what you do I’m sure it’s very much appreciated 👩‍⚕️🌴🙏

[@duanebartlett4885]

I've been fighting very high bp for almost a week now. It's been coming down slowly so I started taking bp readings before and after eating certain foods, taking meds, exercising,...I saw a 45 point bp spike 30 min after drinking a cup of French pressed coffee with creamer and Stevia. I've been averaging 4-5 cups a day... no wonder I've been almost in a hypertensive emergency the past 4 days. I'm very responsive to caffeine where others arent.

[@kp2855]

Sounds about right. May you use wisdom and be healed in Jesus Name Amen . . .

[@hicham5788]

Smart Dr We love you Dr. Berry

[@lindaleslie5634]

At nearly 70 years old, I started having occasional hypertensive episodes. No rhyme or reason for it, that I could explain. Through research, and that means watching your channel as well as a few other favorites, I determined I had developed a potassium sensitivity?! And as you know that affects my sodium potassium pump, which in turn, affects my blood pressure. Once I maintain a level of at least 5000 mg of potassium a day, unable to accurately measure, sodium, my blood pressure, just normalize!

[@hiddenhand6973]

Get Vit D checked

[@GracielaNorris]

WOW!👏👏 Thank you Dr Berry, I truly needed to hear this! In 2018, I started out eating low carb/then Keto/then Ketovore (lost 75lbs-see profile pic); yet my systolic BP reading remains high (140-170), my diastolic is always 70 or lower. I need to talk to my doctor about secondary hypertension. Thanks again! 💕

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

Thanks, Dr. Berry.

[@marilynnsmith360]

I have had high blood pressure since I was 30 years old. I am now 79, I am 10 pounds over weight but I play Pickleball four times a week, I am not a couch potato! I am on four different BP medications but my blood pressure still goes up at times to 225/109. Doctors have never found a cause. I am trying to get into Mayo near Phoenix.

[@DOLsenior]

Are you of Italian ancestry?

[@marilynnsmith360]

No, my maiden name was Haueisen and I have German ancestry, my Father died of a heart attack at age 44. I had a heart attack in 2019 but they saved my life with four stents because a Thoracic Surgeon was not available. I take BP medication every two hours during the day and most of the time it will stay between 146 to 169 stolid but for no reason it will shoot up to 225/109. I have never smoked and may have one glass of wine a month. What is the answer??

[@pursuehealth940]

@marilynnsmith360 I didn't see any reference to your carb intake. Are you eating SAD/high carb, low carb, keto, ketovore, carnivore? Carb consumption has an effect on blood pressure. Many people going very low carb have swift resolution of blood pressure issues.

[@zeemc2751]

Have your potassium levels checked. My was extremely low and it sent me too the ER. My heart rate was bouncing off the walls. Didn't know this could happen. 👍

[@kp2855]

Are you a believer, do you believe in Jesus. Live a repentance life before GOD and be healed...

[@JAdams-jx5ek]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@JPM620]

I have several of the things Dr Berry mentioned but no doctor has ever looked further than giving me meds. I wish I could find a doctor like Dr Berry.

[@stacymontero6172]

I started seeing a GP last year. He listens to my heart and lungs and looks in my ears. Besides blood work, that's the extent of my physical every year.

[@TheKingdomWeigh]

Same here in Canada

I needed this knowledge

[@TrishCanyon8]

Thank you Dr. Berry.❤❤❤

[@williamturner1441]

I have 3 three close friends at work from 30's to late 50's and all have BP that raises dramatically for no known reason at all. Their doctors have them on 2 or more BP medicines and still out of the blue BP will fly real high 180/90 or higher. Common theme amongst us all is allergies and or deviated septum's. I am the only lean one and they are way overweight. I had a heart attack at 50 and they have no blockages. I know for a fact my allergy medicines causes my BP to go high where I actually feel it. Sinus congestion is the worst for me as well as them. I am the only one doing a low carb diet. I do see and feel significant improvements in my mind and body on this diet. My doctors hate it and pushing me to stop it.

[@DJRenee]

They need a SLEEP STUDY

[@glnset-apart]

steak, butter, eggs, salt, fat

[@SEA-U2]

Nose spray to unclogg nose is another one I can't stand my nose being clogged from allergies BAM high blood pressure from the nose spray

[@ShipCreek]

I'd ask your doc why he considers meat & vege is so bad for you? 😉👍

[@hiddenhand6973]

Have you tried the grape seed extract plus xylitol nose spray?@@SEA-U2

[@luvstargypsy]

Thankyou this is great. I was on prozac for 4 months, and it raised my blood pressure. I had a gut feeling and am in the process of coming off it.

[@trixieknits]

Just ordered Common Sense Labs!

[@glimtiglimt2979]

👏Thank you doctor

[@TheMotor929rr]

I was told I need meds for my high blood pressure or I would take 10 years off my life. I had many tests done and that was the diagnosis. I ate good and was active in the gym and sports, no drinking or smoking. Always had heart issues. I tried to figure out the problem by reading studies. My issue turned out to be low potassium. once I started eating spinach, nuts, more red meat, etc. my blood pressure went to normal and I also don't get heart palpitations anymore. I am 49 yo and seem to have unlimited cardio. Crazy just diet related for me.

[@meirabalderas9193]

[@MrSokwe]

I had a secondary hypertension because of bad constipation which was caused by mold infection in my digestive tract and was treated with anti fungal medicine and once my bowel gets better and my blood pressure was back to normal.
