Does nasal saline solution cause high blood pressure?
My blood pressure is normally low high - 140/90. I received a IV saline solution (water and sodium chloride of 0.90%) a few nights ago and noticed my blood pressure dropped. In the subsequent days, I have been drinking saline water. I am always using sea salt in the water to get the other needed minerals. I am drinking at least 2 quarts of water a day and adding about 1/4 teaspoon to one of the quarts. My blood pressure is 117/78 this morning. I had been told by Dr. Robert Thompson (author of "The Calcium Lie") that I needed to consume sodium. I was hesitant since I was also told that sodium is bad for us. I therefor avoided salt. I now believe the key is being properly hydrated and having the proper balance of water, sodium, and other minerals just as Dr. Robert Thompson writes about.

Is protandim good for high blood pressure?
Protandim acts on the molecular and cellular level to trigger the body to produce superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione and other enzymes that regulate anti-oxidants also know as free radicals. These enzymes naturally decrease as we age. These free radicals, while necessary in small amounts, cause tremendous damage when they are not kept in check. The result of unchecked anti-oxidants is oxidative stress - disease, discomfort, and general malaise. Diabetes is one of many diseases whose side effects are always worse when oxidative stress is higher. Control oxidative stress and your general health is improved. While there is no direct evidence that Protandim decreases the effects of diabetes (yet - studies are ongoing) it is undisputed that Protandim helps check many of the negative effects that are common to diabetes and to oxidative stress.

What is the safest pain reliever to take when you have high blood pressure?
It depends on the hypertension medication. If you want a pain killer that does not increase blood pressure, then paracetamol is a good choice. The worst choice would be anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac. These medications can increase the blood pressure by themselves. In addition, they tend to interact with hypertension medications. For example, these medications increase the risk of renal failure with ACE-inhibitors and sartans, and may also increase the risk of hyperkalaemia with these medications too. Opioid analgesics do not increase blood pressure, however they may interact with anti-hypertensives that are drowsy, such as methyldopa.
Your best bet is to check with a pharmacist or doctor before using anything because it can get very complex.

Why are persons with high blood pressure advised to reduce the amount of salt in their diets?
The more sodium in your blood, the more blood volume increases because sodium attracts and retains water. As a result, the heart has to work harder to move the increased volume of blood through your blood vessels. This creates increased strain on the arteries and high blood pressure. Have you ever eaten a very salty meal and then been thirsty afterwards? That is the salt acting to increase your thirst. Then when you drink something, this fluid adds to the volume of blood inside the blood vessels. This increases blood pressure.
What elements are in sea salt?
