While I am not giving you medical advice, there are vitamins I want you to consider TO HELP REDUCE YOUR RESISTANT BLOOD PRESSURE. Ask your doctor if you need supplementation with vitamins that have been shown to help control blood pressure. They are vitamin D3, K2, AND MAGNESIUM. I will give you further details about these vitamins and how they help decrease blood pressure below.
Resistant Hypertension and Vitamin D3
According to research, people with the lowest level of vitamin D have the highest blood pressure.
Vitamin D is usually very low in African Americans and in others who do not get enough sunshine.
Patients with chronic kidney disease most times have vitamin D3 deficiency. In fact, according to research found in the Archives Internal Medicine in 2009, 70%-80% of patient who have chronic kidney disease have vitamin D deficiency.
Ask you doctor to check your vitamin D3 level, which is 25-hydroy test or a 1,25-dihydroxy. If your 1,25 dihydroxy is optimal, then be sure to get a 25-hydroy test done. Either test is a test that you have to ask for because it is not normally tested at the average clinic visit. If your 25-hydroy test is deficient then your 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D is likely deficient.
Vitamin D3 also helps mobilize calcium in the blood vessel.
The dose that has been researched to be useful is 1000-5000 IU daily. Most people found 5000 IU daily to be the best dose to get their level to an optimal level. A normal level is greater than 30, but the optimal level of vitamin D3 is 50-75 according to research. Once the correction is made from deficiency to your optimal level, you will probably will need a daily maintenance dose between 1000-5000 IU.
Ask you doctor what maintenance dose is required. Be sure to get your level rechecked routinely to maintain your optimal level.
Resistant Hypertension and K2
Don’t take vitamin D3 without vitamin K2. K2 reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Vitamin K2 decreases the calcification of the blood vessels. According to research the dose is 90-300 micro grams daily
Resistant Hypertension and Magnesium
About 50% of Americans have a low magnesium, A dose of 360-990 mg of magnesium causes your blood vessels to relax to bring your blood pressure down. People with kidney disease should not use magnesium unless prescribed by your doctor.
