I know its was amlodipine!

Karen,

Karen is my sister's name just passed away a few years ago anyway it's a diamond in the rough this website it really helps with people's reviews and actual people who are taking these medications I am reporting that I went to a chiropractor / acupuncturist for my lower back pain and just the first time I can tell a big difference I was so excited and happy I cried I still have pain and it takes more appointments but it's better than medication it was nice to be heard and listen to Friday I have an appointment I'm going to go off my arm lodipine or Carvedilol

Magnesium citrate is helpful in reducing pain. Do not use Magnesium Oxide. Serrapeptase is also a great pain reliever and more.

hi , can you tell me the dosage and how many tablets of the Magnesium that work for lowering blood pressure  

          thanks sue

Hi Sue,

Let me start by saying that if your are taking Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C, you'll need to consume a bit more of Magnesium. Vitamin D and Vitamin C depletes Magnesium. But, my guess is that you can take a total of 600 mg of Magnesium Citrate divided by 3 times. So 200 mg each time. Make sure it is Citrate and not Oxide. Calcium intake is also important especially for women over 50 primarily for osteoporosis prevention and blood pressure. Many doctors during the 70's prescribed calcium supplements, but 30 years later found that these same women were still affected with osteoporosis and heart disease increased in these women drastically. The common factor was a Magnesium Deficiency according to Dr. Carolyn Dean an expert on Magnesium. Why? Magnesium helps to keep the calcium in the bones. Without sufficient Magnesium intake, calcium leaves the bones and enter the blood stream exacerbating atherosclerosis. So, actually, osteoporosis is caused by a Magnesium deficiency. Ironically the women who suffered from osteoporosis had a normal intake of calcium. Dr. Dean suggests a 1:1 ratio of Calcium to Magnesium supplementation and not 2:1. In addition to magnesium, vitamin K2 will help keep the Calcium in the bones. If you fo not like taking magnesium citrate pills you can spray on Magnesium chloride oil on your body and leave it on for at least 30 minutes before bathing or showering.

Hope this helps

Stay well

Magnesium is certainly necessary for healthy blood pressure., however this thread is about Amlodipine . When going on magnesium be aware that it does NOT react well  for people on Amlodipine ,and MAY cause blood pressure increases. I experienced this myself. If your trying to increase magnesium intake which IS advisable, you may want to start with foods high in mag..then switch to supplements.  Good luck to all

 

The first question is why take that blood pressure medicine to treat a symptoms? People do not get high blood pressure because they are deficient in blood pressure medicine. It's strange that taking magnesium citrate would cause the blood pressure to rise when taking it with amlodipine. Doctors should uncover the root cause of the blood pressure whether it be electrolyte deficiency, adrenal stress, atherosclerosis, Mitral valve prolapse etc.

As far as eating dark green leafy vegetables, that's great. But try eating enough to get 400 - 600 mg of magnesium everyday. Soils are drastically depleted. In some cases magnesium levels of vegetables have dropped 30- 50% compared to vegetsbles 100 years ago.

My point here is to treat the root cause and not the symptoms. See a functional medicine one doctor who will treat the root cause and not the symptoms. That is not practicing medicine. Drugs are for acute illness like heart attacks, stroke infections and so on to keep people alive until the root cause is found of that acute illness.

Hello Lorraine here I was on the wrong magnesium the best is Cardiovascular Research Ltd. MAGNESIUM Taurate 125mg. 2x daily. My doctor said patients take more or less.

I take Astaxanthin 5mg also with my Coq10 100mg.I am 74 lift weights feel 30 and do not look anywhere near my real time age...lol

Talk to your doctor's and see what they say.

I eat good salad, fish, skinless baked chicken oat meal and tons of steamed brown rice & veggies

Drink water water& more water oh green tea

I agree 100 percent with your statement...Magnesium, fish oil, beet powder, Co-q, milled flax seed vitamin D,,trace element like selenium,stress reduction will reduce blood pressure for certain people. Obviously, you might still have to use blood pressure meds. Hopefully by using natural alternatives you can get off them. Amlldipine seems to react to magnesium because its has the same valence as Calcium. 2 So its important to slowly increase the magnesium route white very slowly reducing the Amlodipine. Always monitor very closely during this process. Their are may types of hypertension drugs, so these may not be affected by magnesium ..Good Luck to all!

Thank you for your advice I appreciate that I am on coumadin a blood thinner and we can't use magnesium because it counteracts with the Coumadin everything counteracts with coumadin so I have to be really careful with her it's natural supplements or anything I wish I could take magnesium or any other I'm going to have to find out about because some of the medications and some of supplements can end up having the same chemical reaction in your body as amlodipine or Carvedilol

I believe you can inject blood thinner and you would not have food restrictions

Hi folks you should just buy and eat canned beets people need to get certain vitamins and minerals from the food directly not from supplements!

Just eat good wholesome food, keep your body in motion, sip a glass of a red wine occasionally, even look in the mirror and laugh at yourself you really get a great feeling of satifaction. Remember laughter is the best medicine!

ENJOY ***** LIFE IS GOOOOOOOD!

Bye 4 now, Lorraine in Jersey

I was advised to rub in magnesium oil. Any thoughts?

i read that amlodipine stays in your system for quite a while.
