Sorry to hear of your health problems. I too quit my prescription drugs last yr. Many ppl have written some great suggestions for you. Unfortunately many vits/minerals/herbs work great for CHRONIC problems but not necessarily for ACUTE. We are all learning, to stop old habits and start new ones. It is lifestyle changes. You may want to consider returning to your meds temporarily, JUST until crisis passes, and you are able to incorporate some of these great ideas. Maybe start tappering your meds down as these herbs start to work or maybe extend time between doses. These changes (cutting out meat, etc) can ALSO stress your body until you adapt. Don't start too many at once. Pick top couple to work on first. Also find a Homeopath or Naturopath to work on this with you. High BP is serious. We were never taught how to take care of our bodies properly. We are all learning with you! Good Luck, much prayers!
