Is honey good for high blood pressure?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Blood pressure is an important risk factor for heart disease, and honey may help lower it. This is because it contains antioxidant compounds that have been linked to lower blood pressure

  1. Moderation is key: Honey contains natural sugars, which can impact blood sugar and calorie intake. Excessive sugar may indirectly affect blood pressure.

  2. No direct benefits for blood pressure: Honey does not lower blood pressure and should not be used as a treatment.

  3. Choose natural honey: Opt for pure, raw honey without added sugars or preservatives.

  4. Consult your doctor: Discuss with your healthcare provider if including honey fits your overall plan for managing high blood pressure.

In summary, enjoy honey in small amounts but prioritize your doctor’s advice and maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle.

I'm dealing with high blood pressure, and it's sometimes reaching 160110. I also recently tested positive for inducible ischemia, and I'm really worried about what this means for my health. Could you please advise what steps I should take next?

It's important to manage your blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications. I recommend starting with lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. In terms of medication, you may benefit from taking an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril at a starting dose of 10 mg once daily. Additionally, a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25 mg once daily can help with both high blood pressure and ischemia. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with blood pressure around 15090 and my heart rate seems higher than normal, sometimes going to 100. Two doctors suggested I start on Nebi 2.5mg twice daily, and while it made me feel really tired at first, that went away after two weeks. It's been five months on this medication now, but I'm noticing that my consciousness feels a bit off. I can't work or focus like I used to. What should I do about this?
