hello everyone,


I am reviving this thread to seek advice on treatments for reducing blood pressure for a friend.

Her diastolic pressure ( low reading ) is around 90-100 for a more than a month and on some days above 100. systolic pressure ( high reading ) is within normal range 130 about.

My friend also has sleeping problem, cannot sleep early but waking up very early. I think she only sleeps about 4 to 5 hours daily.

Please share.

Thank you.

First, I think she needs to seek medical advice as diastolic between 90-100 is considered hypertension.

There are a few factors that can cause high blood pressure and one of them is lack of sleep and stress. I suggest that your friend do some exercise during the day and take note of diet, less salt. Celery juice may help too but if it doesn't go down after having enough sleep, exercise and healthy diet then she must consult a doctor.

My blood pressure suddenly hit 140/90 few days before CNY. As I have a family history of hypertension, I went to consult a family doctor. However, the doctor told me to monitor first as they will not start medication immediately. So I started to sleep early, reduced my workload, exercise 4 times a week (2 days jog, 2 days swim). And watch my diet. After a few weeks, I felt my body is better and my BP actually dropped till normal.

When I hit 140/90, I drank celery juice. It immediately dropped the next day but diastolic level is still ard 85 and then the BP when up again. So drinking celery juice may not be sufficient to bring down BP. I hope my experience may help. :roll:

Can anyone recommend good eating places at Port Dickson? Thank you!

Can anyone share the must-visit places at Bali?


Is the WaterBom Bali worth going?

Any reviews on Safari and Marine Park and Mara River Safari Lodge?

Anyone has any good hotels to recommend? Do we have to go on island-hopping for snorkeling? If so, what are the islands we should go?

Thank you for all your advice. I think Langkawi will be a better choice for a family trip.
