Zen Peddler Posted March 15, 2013 My fucken blood pressure has crashed again. Feel like shit 24/7. the only thing really touching it at the moment is caffeine I assume for its central effects. Anyone got any legal alternative central stim ideas that might boost my blood pressure for a while? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CβL Posted March 15, 2013 Salt should do it. But it will be treating the symptoms - and not the cause. Do you know the cause of your low blood pressure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kindness Posted March 15, 2013 Ephedra - or ma Huang to your Chinese herbalist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted March 15, 2013 T3. I had to stop taking mine as it pushes my BP up by about 15 points. It also prevents troughs, eg orthostatic changes. Caffeine also pushes it up, but this varies from person to person, so might not work for you well enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kindness Posted March 16, 2013 Should probably have said that I dont know how safe ephedra would be for low blood pressure. Just that it increases it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) thanks dudes - yeah salt (im on a high salt diet where i eat outrageous amounts) and on a med to retain more salt. If caffeine worked for eight hours instead of half an hour id be fine Edited March 16, 2013 by Zen Peddler BlueGreenie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mycot Posted March 16, 2013 Caffeine in guarana acts more slow-release. Don't hear about low blood pressure as much as high. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted March 16, 2013 T3 is a Thyroid hormone. For most people T4 would be sufficient too, but T3 gives certainty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alice Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I wish I could swap my hyper for your hypo. Or at least do a partial swap so we even each other out lol. Don't hear about low blood pressure as much as high. True that. Edited March 17, 2013 by Alice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delilah Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I'd say liquorice root is your best bet. Tasty, effective, healthy and safe provided you stay under 5g/day. Then again, in your condition more than 5g may be perfectly fine, but I would consult a herbalist/naturopath first. Edited March 17, 2013 by Delilah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted March 25, 2013 I wish I could swap my hyper for your hypo. Or at least do a partial swap so we even each other out lol. True that. Really bad hypotension like mine makes it impossible to drive or walk around long distances. It sucks. Id take your hypertension in an instant! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted March 25, 2013 yeah thanks - licorice is good - but ive maxed out on that as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
