Please please pray and ask God to keep my blood pressure down especially at my doctor appointment. Please if it is God's will let it be low enough where they won't send me to a hospital. If it is God's will. Please pray for God's continuned mercy of us having power and heat. I thank You Dear God for Your mercy and keeping us warm. Please Dear God help me with my blood pressure. Please let it be at a safe level. Please heal me Dear Jesus. Please help. I love You Dear God and I love You Dear Jesus. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. God bless you for prayers. Carmen.

I would watch this.
I've observed nurses do all of these wrong techniques/nurses.


You might find it beneficial to buy a BP monitor or ask a friend/neighbor who is a nurse to take your BP occasionally.
One reading, especially at a medical office, does not necessarily reflect what your normal BP is. If you take the time to learn how, you will no longer need to depend on a stranger's opinion which may or may not be in your own interest. Learn so you can Make informed decisions for yourself and family. They know that you love them very much and that would be another way to show them that.

I have two friends that have reported much higher readings at the Drs office than at rest at home. One was prescribed a drug for high BP. The other was dismissed from employment because of the physical. Every other time, the monitors used showed a normal range. As you will learn from the video, there are a lot of reasons that can happen. If you are anxious about getting the check up, that alone can give a false alarm.

😊🙏

If a job depends on it, I suggest a portable monitor that continually checks for 24 hours. Mine is all over the place, but averages out OK. I had a heart attack about a year ago and my bp was 80 over about 50. I was like that for 3 days. The doctor gave me a potassium drink and it kicked up to 120/80 immediately.

Yes, stress can and does raise BP. We have a monitor at home and my wife is a retired nurse. That makes it easier.

That's good.
I'm glad it was a simple deficiency. Two fruits that may have higher levels of potassium (soil dependent) are bananas and kiwi fruit. Only buy organic bananas since the others are likely GMO.

For more information on the effects of bioavailable minerals on BP, look up the Sodium - Potassium Pump.

I have a banana every day - except when I was in hospital. Well, a bit unfair. My BP was 80 when I went in.

It sounds like you are in good hands with your wife checking vitals anytime you want and eating bananas.
You're reminding me that I should probably pick up a bunch at the grocery store too.
