I am an RN - of many years. Please just make an appointment to see your cardiologist and do whatever the MD advises you to do. Please do not self treat. Follow sound medical advice. Trust in God and all will be well!
lol. Most doctors today are not up to date with ANYTHING. ALL they ever learned was how to treat diseases with man made medications. Big pharma and doctors need sick people . A patient healed is a patient lost. Go to the farmacy, not pharmacy. Yes, sometimes pharmaceuticals are needed….like antibiotics.
You are so beautiful I can’t believe you’re 81. It’s your mental outlook that gives you such a glow. I just love your videos and I always wish they were longer. You don’t ever have to apologize for anything because we always love seeing you. I love lil’ Millie, she is so lucky she has a loving home. You were so kind as to make your sick neighbors some soup, that was so sweet of you. Thank you for your prayer I really need it as I’m dealing with real bad anxiety and my heart is racing so what you said in the beginning of your video about turning it over to GOD. I’m working on that. I always admire your strength and your attitude, I strive to be more like that. Loving thoughts and prayers to you and Mr Bill … ♥️ also sweet Millie. xo God bless ~ Laurie
I have been with my cardiologist for yrs for preventive measures. Please speak to your cardiologist ASAP because of your stent not to long ago. Your blood pressure is extremely high and the redness on your face could be your blood pressure. At the advise of my cardiologist he always advised me if I felt I needed a supplement to ask him first. He stated that with a supplement it might not mingle with other medications that your taking. These day you have to be a strong advocate with doctors, nurses, PA’s, etc. but again speak directly with your cardiologist only. I hope everything is well. God Bless you and yours.
Sandra, I have been struggling with high blood pressure since I was 26 and weighed 120 lbs. It is mostly genetic because it runs in my family. I had a very scary 200/100 reading. I do suffer with anxiety, also genetic, and because of that readings in the Dr. Office are always higher than I get at home. I am on 4 different meds for it, and I am happy with 130’s/80. The best home monitors are erratic and readings vary wildly from day to day. My best recommendation is to write down your highest and your lowest and toss those out and then take an average of the rest. It is a problem that I have to manage for the rest of my life - so you are not alone! Best wishes! 🙋♀️🥰💕‼️
Thank you Janette I think I’ll take my blood pressure machine into the doctors office and see if it lines up with theirs my husband has a blood pressure machine and so I check both thanks for your information and I pray your blood pressure goes down to normal number for you.💕
PS. Sandra, be sure to request both Magnesium & Potassium doses from your physician. Most patients do not have low Potassium issues unless they have kidney disease or are on diuretics. (Commonly called "water pills"). Magnesium is rarely overdosed but taking extra Potassium can be harmful. Please, be careful, Sandra. I'm sure your Doc will run electrolyte blood panels to check. With all the medical things you have gone through in the past year, it seems like they would have told you if you need these electrolytes supplemented, most especially, your Cardiologist. Those guys Always check electrolyte results. ❤️✝️
I just wanted to say that I had a stent put in my heart almost two years ago and my doctor told me to not let my blood pressure go over 140 on the top since then. Be careful. That is very high and dangerously so. I know you are watching it. I am 80 now and I think you are right about the check engine light coming on.
My husband's BP was fluctuating like that and he was diagnosed with A-Fib. Don't self medicate...go to dr...vegetables and fruits are loaded with carbs....eat protein (meat) and salads...Bill needs this also....carbs and sugar are very bad
Sandra, I enjoy your videos, and your prayers, I will be 85 in March and the body is becoming unglued 😊. It's to draw us closer to God. The good is still outweigh the bad, because He lives, we can face every day. Love and Hugs ❤
Miss Sandra, i take linisopril 10 mg in the morning after breakfast and 10mg after my supper. I learned the hard way to not drink a lot of coffee before I go to the doctor. 😊 I think I have white coat syndrome . 😅 also one of the side effects of linisopril is coughing. Ugh!! Take care of yourself babe im sure you will figure it out. Love you. ❤ appericate your honesty and videos.
You are so sweet to your friends, I know they love you for being so kind to them. Little Millie, so sweet! Drink lots of water. I like mine cold. Saw my Cardiologists past Wednesday, he changed my one drug to another to protect me because of all im going thru. Im back to crying and staying awake till 3am. I just dont know from day to day. I feel lost almost.😢 You are beautiful Sandy❤ Tell Bill hello from me.😊
Dearest Susan , I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but remember you’re never really alone, God promises to always be with you. Do you have any update on Jimmy?🙏💕
Don’t take Potassium with out your own doctor putting you on them. Also check your pulse too. When my blood pressure was that high I ended up with AFib. Please do not self medicate. I worked for an Endocrinologist for years as Medical Assistant. 😮
Sandra I hate to hear that about your blood pressure. My doctor said sometimes when are blood pressure goes high like that it's trying to tell us something else in are body's need attention when that happened to me it was I had pneumonia I was real sick I hadn't realize I was that sick. Are body's try to let us know maybe you have covid since your neighbors got it. I'm glad to hear your going to your doctors. I've been praying 🙏 for you. I so enjoy your visits. God Bless you and Bill Milly 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹
Hi Sandra when you go to Lowe's again tell Bill show his VA card and then they put the info into their computer. You both will get a 10 percent discount every time you purchase something 💖
Someone mentioned discounts for Veteran’s. Those same discounts apply to firefighters, law enforcement, medical personnel as well. You have to ask about it and show appropriate identification. I get medical personnel discount on motels and lots of places.
You mentioned Parmesan cheese … cheese is high in salt, which causes high blood pressure. Some soups are high in salt. Consider what you eat. Writing down everything you eat can help you see what might have high sodium content. High blood pressure is dangerous when a person has stents.
I was at the doctor once, and you know, they take your blood pressure first, and it was really high,like 180/102, any ways the nurse looked at me in a frighting way, and made an apt the next day, but, i never returned, that was like 10 years ago, or so, i just take herbs, and dont take my blood pressure any more. ❤God bless.
If your feeling good I understand how you feel. The only bad thing about blood pressure is it can be dangerously high and you don't feel anything! God bless you with continued good health! 💕
Sandra: Sending you healing prayers! I know that going totally vegan can totally reverse your heart health and blood pressure…I know it’s tough…but, that’s an idea…sending you much love and prayers!! Love you, Bill and Millie…God Bless You!! (Also, definitely no more coffee, no alcohol, no juice, no added sugar, no processed foods…ok, super hard, but those are some ideas to help you!). ❤❤❤. You can watch Forks over Knives and many people have totally changed their diets and have had success.🙏🙏
Hi Sandra Another doctor on here on Utube Dr ken Berry he has videos on Blood pressure I like him i nearly forgot he also talks about some of the fruits that are high in sugar May God continue protecting you and Bill ❤❤
God Bless You. I'm going to need blood pressure meds and before i go back to the Dr. i have been doing some research. What is the name of your bp medicine? i want to start as low as i can too. Thank you.
I get tired of water but found HINT water, it's not sweetened but its flavor infused water, very tasty. Maybe add more protein to your diet, less carbs. I'm not diabetic but I've noticed eating anything sweet/sugars makes my blood pressure go sky high. 💜🙏🙏
Hi Sandra, I had a very similar thing happen with my blood pressure about 1 month ago. I ended up in ER with 200/104. They checked everything out. I had a CT scan, blood work, EKG and complete physical exam. They could not find anything wrong. I was given blood pressure tablets (atenolol and lisinopril). After tweaking the dosage some and time of day that I take them, things have improved. My face was also flushed. Your video was a reminder that I am not alone. Like you, I depend on the Lord for each event that comes my way. You might try sparkling water as a regular water alternative. The Kirkland brand sparkling water (cans) are delicious. Millie is a sweetheart. God bless.
This is so funny you said that about turning 80 and your engine light went on. I turned 73 this past November and I was thinking about my 80s even though I take it a day at a time with the Lord. I feel exactly like you ❤I think that’s when things start happening but the Lord is always with us, and He gets us through everything. But God! Where would we be without Him? I gave up salt and I drink eight glasses of water a day, watch what I eat, and my blood pressure went down 20 points. I do agree with the other subscriber that said those home blood pressure machines are erratic you take the highest and the lowest, my daughter is a nurse, so I’m right on point she takes it the old school way without the machine❤ may God bless you and guide you. I pray that your blood pressure stays at a normal level. I do the same thing I replace my washer and my dryer. I have a Samsung front loader and mine is 7 years old working fine no issues at all. Have a blessed day and stay safe my friend.
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 I still shovel my car out I exercise five days a week I’m in great condition no fear about my 80s. I’d be blessed the Lord let me live that long.
Wish we had neighbors like you and Bill!😊 we live in a small town in Iowa, if you werent born here, then they are not friendly. Tell my husband its there loss! Lol. Hope you figure out whats going on with your health, God Bless.
The same thing happened to me last week. I am 81 and my pressure was 200 top number. I had been to the dentist so have been taking it a lot. I’m all over the board but high. I see my primary on Friday. I also take Lisinoprol. I only drink one cup of coffee a day and drink a lot of water!
Hi Sandra...The high blood pressure thing is so hard, I take 10 lisinopril 10 mg in the morning and 5 mg at night, that is just about right for me. For years my hubby had bp problems sky high and then sometimes very low. I pray it's all under control now! I hope we can talk this week, let me know...
I hope you are feeling better and your BP has lowered. You are such a kind and thoughtful neighbor! I love the sparkled top coat of nail polish and the bird statue is lovely! ~ Belinda
Thats so concerning that your bp has been so high. I deal with really high bp, myself at times and for me it seems to go hand in hand with increased anxiety. It does seem like you've had quite a bit going on lately. We all love you so much and want you to be be in tip top shape. I'm a retired nurse and I would encourage you to run any supplements by your doctors because its possible to have adverse reactions. Take care, and you and Mr Bill just try to kick back and relax for a bit. That was so sweet of you to to take food to your sick neighbors....you're one of a kind and Mr Bill too! 😊 ❤
Thank you Patricia I have a list of my supplements in the notebook on my phone. Right now I just quit taking the supplements altogether just in case that’s what it is. My blood pressure was good yesterday and is good again today I’m still drinking the decaf coffee I’m keeping an eye on my blood pressure so don’t be concerned, God bless our nurses
Sandra, I will be 81 in April and have had high blood pressure in the past. It's very important to find the cause & not just treat the symptoms. I believe one of my main causes was being dehydrated. I now set my Fitbit for 1 hour intervals to make sure I get 6-8 8oz. glasses of water by 8:00 p.m. daily. I have never liked drinking water, so it took a while for me to adjust to that regiment. I like Dr. Berg also, but be very careful about taking supplements. Do your own research and consult with your doctor. ❤
Almost 3 years ago i was dianosed with thyroid disease, high blood presur and high cholesterol. My Dr advised pills fot all three complaints for thr rest of my life. I told her no thank you and she told me streight that i could die at a y moment. I told her to give me time to change my diet. She reluctantly agreed. I went back three months later a d i was clear on all three tests so no need to take any drugs. I gave up al, sugars apart from fresh fruit. I started to eat sourdough bread. I put Turmeric with black pepper in all my soups, stews curries etc. I eat butter, full cream but no milk.., i dont eat anything that is highly processed. I eat eggs and hard cheese. Im 72 and fitter than i have ever been. I also cured my emeroids and my right leg was always swolen, thats gone now.
Sandra all the content of this video was great. 👍 😊 A grinder pump system is to grind up waste so it can go down the sewer. 👍🐶🥰 😳Please take care of yourself 🙏😊
Magnesium oil works well for me. Rub a tiny amount on your lower chest or shoulders. Too much can make your tummy a little nauseous. Just need a little. ❤🙏
Hello Sandra, Millie seems so well-behaved and a little timid. She's looking all spiffy. I'm glad the results of the HIDA test were negative. You have a real positive outlook on life. I'm glad your washer n dryer are running well too. We had our dishwasher repaired last week after three weeks waiting for a tech. Growing up we never had a dishwasher. It was only after I got married that I became spoiled with it. Sandra, you blessed ur neighbors with the soup n jello❤❤I will pray your pressure remains normal. Why the spike though?
Chamomile tea can help, I drink 2 cups a day of organic chamomile tea but check with your doctor as to the medications you are taking. Also, ground flaxseed can help but you need to buy whole ones and run them through a grinder or high powered blender. I add 1 tbsp a day to applesauce. Check with your doctor or pharmacist as I don't know if there are interactions with medications... Yes, staying hydrated helps and also walking 25 minutes a day which I try to do on my treadmill daily...
Hi Sandra. I hav been trying to9 go whole food plant based for years but can never quite cross over from no milk or dairy. this past week I went full on WFPB and my blood pressure was 112/81 when I took it after less than a week which is really Good for me (there was a time last year it hit 180/104 which scared me) from all the research I have done whole food plant based is the best to prevent heart disease. I lost a father and brother to heart attacks and my sister. has had two heart attacks already so I figured I needed to take my health in hand i'm 72 , I laughed when you said your engine light came on at 80. I felt like mine did that at 70. thanks for sharing and all the best to you and mr Bill
Yvette it can be very confusing, but Blood Pressure and how high and how low it should be. I guess we just need to pray and trust our doctors God help you on your quest to get your blood pressure down.
Can't blame dehydration on everything.. My dicter did that to my mom! Turnout she died from a tear in stomach bled out her blood pressure was high no oxygen getting around the body. Just stay in it😊
@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 Thank you ,just always fight for what you feel . Poor mom they would not listen to us she knew something was wrong because she was 84 I think they ignore her.. God bless you on your journey with health.
I tried that blood pressure medication and it made me cough and caused my neck and throat to swell up and never brought my blood pressure down ever. I tried lower doses and it just didn't get better. Other medications like a diuretic and it only raised my pressure higher and gave me migraine. I will never get a pill to help me. My blood pressure runs around 150/74 and higher sometimes. Getting older has its problems but I keep busy on my dressmaking and exercise walking every day. Hope your health keeps you strong and comfortable. I pray that for myself everyday. 😊
Debbie, that sounds like a good level to me with your blood pressure. I wouldn’t be concerned about it. Going higher than that would not be good though.💕
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 Yes,medication and I don't mix...I could never be a drug abuser and that's a good thing! I could never understand how people do drugs these days. So many people have been lost because of it. My Mom had a stroke from taking meds the doctor gave her that interacted and it left her with dementia until her passing at 88. She forgot she used to drink coffee and never crocheted or sewed again and she was always making something. She spent her last days in Hospice which was better than being home alone like she was with no one to care for her. I talked to her 2 weeks on the phone before she passed and she talked to me like her old self again. Amazing, my cat started acting like herself again 2 weeks before she passed too. 😂
You look so good and so happy the test were negative.l had to buy a new dryer last year ,but l didn’t buy a new washer,mine is 20 years old and still working. Your going to be so surprised the new washers do not use hardly any water l don’t know how they get the clothes clean. My daughters have new ones.
Greetings Sandra! It's so good to see you! You are such a good neighbor to send them soup. Good for you! I'm glad your blood pressure went down. Please keep us posted and know that you are in my prayers. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Oh I love Millie, she is adorable and a sweetheart. Oh I love that comment about you turn such a age and the "check engine light comes on". That's great! Well not great but seems so true. My washer and dryer are going up too but they lasted so long they deserved the proper rest, unlike the stuff of today. The old ones are GE so I will probably get them again and nothing fancy...at Lowes also.
Sandra, I have been meaning to ask you, hope you don't mind, but why do you call your husband.... Mr. Bill??? Just wondering. You may need a sodium tablet. Check your blood lab report, I always get my reports because I have had hyponatremia which dehydration and low electrolytes and sodium, surprising..yes...some people need extra sodium helps to lower bp. Also doctor recommended Pedialyte Powders as needed. Take care.
Your videos are always great. You treat us like you know us, which is so sweet. Hope you figure our your B.P. My husband has high blood pressure, so I know it can vary and go up and down. Awwwww, Millie was so cute. What a stinker.
Sandra.....I would advise you to go to ER if your blood pressure shoots up too high again because it puts you at risk of having a stroke. Over the past couple of years, I have had to go to ER when my blood pressure shoots too high. The first time ER put me on Clonidine to bring down the systolic. The Clonidine is used only when your systolic shoots too high. It is not to be used all the time. Your doctor will explain this to you. As we get older our blood vessels are not as pliable the cardiologist told me a week ago. I am on different medicine than you are so my advise is to go to your cardiologist so they can adjust your medicine. May God always bless you !!
Thank you for the beautiful chit chat ... I like the potassium advice I do suffer with HBP and I use chronic...I will ask my doctor about it...Milly looks cute we had Jack Russell breed they are cute! I love coffee too but decaf seems like a good idea.... Thank you for the prayers I need it to heal from my health issues ... Bill is a true example of a caring & supportive hubby...such a kind thought cooking for your neighbours...you will receive many Blessings Amen! Thank you for the beautiful video it is always awesome 👍😎 thank you hugs Felicity xxx
Hi Sandra, good to hear your chit chat. Just thinking are you using the good salt and not the chemical variety that we were all brought up with? You're doing amazing anyway. Keep up the good work. Xx
I use pink sea salt. I’m gonna double check my shaker to make sure I have it in there too. I also have a salt substitute on the table. Thanks for the tips.
Hi Sandra. I enjoyed your video! Lots of different subjects! I sure hope your blood pressure will be under control soon. Please listen to the RN in the comments and get more info and treatment. I was going to suggest Magnesium as well. It's good for the heart. It's always good to see you!! Take care and God bless. Prayers for you as well. ❤
Hi Sandra, I enjoy your videos and the chit chat Millie is a cutie such good company hoping your blood pressure settles down Take Care and Love to you and Bill 😘🙏😀
Coffee is very healthy n tea as well if we don't add anything maybe raw organic honey also the water in the tea is still having water im on blood pressure meds to norvasc I'd hold on adding or lowering that medicine it really unlevals things.. I am on magnesium citrate calm, D3 etc I think its best.to use like AtoZ women's vitamin n add what Dr's say our blood shows we need
I have 2 male jack Russell dashund mixed they are 10 now just loving n sweet protective loyal..Awwe how precious she is also they are amazing mole n rodent catchers ❤
Hello, We should always ask our doctor first. but I'm guilty of that too. Just talk to him or her first. I know you try to take care of yourself very well. Take care. and God Bless
Sandra you are so amazing! I have been the recipient of a meal when I was sick and I tell you I was so grateful and I bet your neighbours were also. I sure hope I’m as good as you are at your age. You’re an inspiration to us all. ❤
I too am prone to HB. I’ve suffered from strokes as well. Water should be my constant companion. Thankful for your videos Sandra! You are beautiful inside and out. I’ll pray that you can cut back on coffee. ( I’ve suddenly stopped enjoying coffee.) Now I have 1 cup of tea) crazy, I know. Just lost the ‘taste’ for it.Praying the Lord will remind us to drink more water & exercise.❤
I love you, as I believe all of your subscribers do. If your BP goes up that high again, please go to the ER where they can help right away. Don't take any chances.
I am an RN - of many years. Please just make an appointment to see your cardiologist and do whatever the MD advises you to do. Please do not self treat. Follow sound medical advice. Trust in God and all will be well!
That’s good advice thank you for taking the time to share it with me! 💕

It’s from Covid. Did this happen after you got sick? My mom, sister, and neighbor have new heart issues after Covid recently.
I don’t think so.

Hi Sandra when you go to Lowe's again tell Bill show his VA card and then they put the info into their computer. You both will get a 10 percent discount every time you purchase something 💖
I use to have that with my deceased husband, but Bill has not been in the service. He is a retired policeman & also retired firefighter.
Someone mentioned discounts for Veteran’s. Those same discounts apply to firefighters, law enforcement, medical personnel as well. You have to ask about it and show appropriate identification.
I get medical personnel discount on motels and lots of places.
You mentioned Parmesan cheese … cheese is high in salt, which causes high blood pressure. Some soups are high in salt. Consider what you eat. Writing down everything you eat can help you see what might have high sodium content.
High blood pressure is dangerous when a person has stents.
Bill said he has tried to get it, but not successfully. I will keep trying!💕

I was at the doctor once, and you know, they take your blood pressure first, and it was really high,like 180/102, any ways the nurse looked at me in a frighting way, and made an apt the next day, but, i never returned, that was like 10 years ago, or so, i just take herbs, and dont take my blood pressure any more. ❤God bless.
If your feeling good I understand how you feel. The only bad thing about blood pressure is it can be dangerously high and you don't feel anything! God bless you with continued good health! 💕
Caffeine can dehydrate you and not drinking enough water can cause your BP to go up. Most physicians recommend 64 oz of water per day.
Wow, that’s a lot of water!💕
Sandra: Sending you healing prayers! I know that going totally vegan can totally reverse your heart health and blood pressure…I know it’s tough…but, that’s an idea…sending you much love and prayers!! Love you, Bill and Millie…God Bless You!! (Also, definitely no more coffee, no alcohol, no juice, no added sugar, no processed foods…ok, super hard, but those are some ideas to help you!). ❤❤❤. You can watch Forks over Knives and many people have totally changed their diets and have had success.🙏🙏
Is forks over knives on Utube?
Sandra, Be careful about too much potassium. It can stop a heart. We need you around for a very long time. Saying prayers for your health. xo Diane
I quit taking the potassium Diane. Thanks.💕
Hi Sandra
Another doctor on here on Utube
Dr ken Berry he has videos on Blood pressure
I like him i nearly forgot he also talks about some of the fruits that are high in sugar
May God continue protecting you and Bill ❤❤
Thank you, Mary. Yes, I’m familiar with Dr. Berry! 💕
God Bless You. I'm going to need blood pressure meds and before i go back to the Dr. i have been doing some research. What is the name of your bp medicine? i want to start as low as i can too. Thank you.
I’m taking lisinopril, but your doctor will give you what he thinks is best.
I get tired of water but found HINT water, it's not sweetened but its flavor infused water, very tasty. Maybe add more protein to your diet, less carbs. I'm not diabetic but I've noticed eating anything sweet/sugars makes my blood pressure go sky high. 💜🙏🙏
Really, well I do have a sweet tooth!!💕
Hi Sandra, I had a very similar thing happen with my blood pressure about 1 month ago. I ended up in ER with 200/104. They checked everything out. I had a CT scan, blood work, EKG and complete physical exam. They could not find anything wrong. I was given blood pressure tablets (atenolol and lisinopril). After tweaking the dosage some and time of day that I take them, things have improved. My face was also flushed. Your video was a reminder that I am not alone. Like you, I depend on the Lord for each event that comes my way. You might try sparkling water as a regular water alternative. The Kirkland brand sparkling water (cans) are delicious. Millie is a sweetheart. God bless.
I am going to be going to Costco Wednesday. I think I’ll get some of that sparkling water. Thanks.💕🥰
This is so funny you said that about turning 80 and your engine light went on. I turned 73 this past November and I was thinking about my 80s even though I take it a day at a time with the Lord. I feel exactly like you ❤I think that’s when things start happening but the Lord is always with us, and He gets us through everything. But God! Where would we be without Him? I gave up salt and I drink eight glasses of water a day, watch what I eat, and my blood pressure went down 20 points. I do agree with the other subscriber that said those home blood pressure machines are erratic you take the highest and the lowest, my daughter is a nurse, so I’m right on point she takes it the old school way without the machine❤ may God bless you and guide you. I pray that your blood pressure stays at a normal level. I do the same thing I replace my washer and my dryer. I have a Samsung front loader and mine is 7 years old working fine no issues at all. Have a blessed day and stay safe my friend.
80s are good nothing to be afraid of just take each problem as it comes and let the Lord help you with it and go on with your life! 💕
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 I still shovel my car out I exercise five days a week I’m in great condition no fear about my 80s. I’d be blessed the Lord let me live that long.
@@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts You have a great attitude!💕
Wish we had neighbors like you and Bill!😊 we live in a small town in Iowa, if you werent born here, then they are not friendly. Tell my husband its there loss! Lol. Hope you figure out whats going on with your health, God Bless.
My last neighborhood was like that, but the one I'm in now is wonderful!
The same thing happened to me last week. I am 81 and my pressure was 200 top number. I had been to the dentist so have been taking it a lot. I’m all over the board but high. I see my primary on Friday. I also take Lisinoprol. I only drink one cup of coffee a day and drink a lot of water!
I’m drinking nothing but decaf coffee now and my blood pressure is really good!💕
Carditone! On Amazon. Myself and 6 friends are on it and we are now off BP meds!
Thanks for the tip!💕
Hibiscus helps alot
Thanks for the tip💕
Hi Sandra...The high blood pressure thing is so hard, I take 10 lisinopril 10 mg in the morning and 5 mg at night, that is just about right for me. For years my hubby had bp problems sky high and then sometimes very low. I pray it's all under control now! I hope we can talk this week, let me know...
I should be able to talk tomorrow he’s going to Bible study
That would be awesome I have a meeting from 10 to 12 Pacific Standard Time before or after would be awesome
If your blood pressure machine is battery operated, have you tried changing the batteries?
It’s electric and seems accurate, I also used my husbands machine. I have it under control now.💕
This was informative and charming 🙏❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!💕
I hope you are feeling better and your BP has lowered. You are such a kind and thoughtful neighbor! I love the sparkled top coat of nail polish and the bird statue is lovely! ~ Belinda
Thank you so much!💕🥰
Thats so concerning that your bp has been so high. I deal with really high bp, myself at times and for me it seems to go hand in hand with increased anxiety. It does seem like you've had quite a bit going on lately. We all love you so much and want you to be be in tip top shape. I'm a retired nurse and I would encourage you to run any supplements by your doctors because its possible to have adverse reactions. Take care, and you and Mr Bill just try to kick back and relax for a bit. That was so sweet of you to to take food to your sick neighbors....you're one of a kind and Mr Bill too! 😊 ❤
Thank you Patricia I have a list of my supplements in the notebook on my phone. Right now I just quit taking the supplements altogether just in case that’s what it is. My blood pressure was good yesterday and is good again today I’m still drinking the decaf coffee I’m keeping an eye on my blood pressure so don’t be concerned, God bless our nurses
So relieved your bp is better! 😊
Sandra,
I will be 81 in April and have had high blood pressure in the past.
It's very important to find the cause & not just treat the symptoms.
I believe one of my main causes was being dehydrated. I now set my Fitbit for 1 hour intervals to make sure I get 6-8 8oz. glasses of water by 8:00 p.m. daily.
I have never liked drinking water, so it took a while for me to adjust to that regiment. I like Dr. Berg also, but be very careful about taking supplements. Do your own research and consult with your doctor. ❤
Thanks for the tips Bonnie! 💕💕
Yes, ditto on the cardiologist.
Almost 3 years ago i was dianosed with thyroid disease, high blood presur and high cholesterol. My Dr advised pills fot all three complaints for thr rest of my life. I told her no thank you and she told me streight that i could die at a y moment. I told her to give me time to change my diet. She reluctantly agreed. I went back three months later a d i was clear on all three tests so no need to take any drugs. I gave up al, sugars apart from fresh fruit. I started to eat sourdough bread. I put Turmeric with black pepper in all my soups, stews curries etc. I eat butter, full cream but no milk.., i dont eat anything that is highly processed. I eat eggs and hard cheese. Im 72 and fitter than i have ever been. I also cured my emeroids and my right leg was always swolen, thats gone now.
Wow Jackie, thank you for sharing that!💕🥰
You are a joy to watch. Take care and be well.
Thank you Ruth and God bless you!💕
Sandra all the content of this video was great. 👍 😊 A grinder pump system is to grind up waste so it can go down the sewer. 👍🐶🥰
😳Please take care of yourself 🙏😊
I don’t know why I brought the grinder up. Ha ha ha!
Magnesium oil works well for me. Rub a tiny amount on your lower chest or shoulders. Too much can make your tummy a little nauseous. Just need a little. ❤🙏
Great tip!💕
God bless you Sandra 🙏🥰🌹
God bless you as well🙏💕
Hello Sandra, Millie seems so well-behaved and a little timid. She's looking all spiffy. I'm glad the results of the HIDA test were negative. You have a real positive outlook on life. I'm glad your washer n dryer are running well too. We had our dishwasher repaired last week after three weeks waiting for a tech. Growing up we never had a dishwasher. It was only after I got married that I became spoiled with it.
Sandra, you blessed ur neighbors with the soup n jello❤❤I will pray your pressure remains normal. Why the spike though?
Yes, she’s very well-behaved. Thank you.💕
Are you okay haven't heard from you, ❤😊
I’m good Maggie! Thanks for asking!💕 My blood pressure is under control!
Chamomile tea can help, I drink 2 cups a day of organic chamomile tea but check with your doctor as to the medications you are taking. Also, ground flaxseed can help but you need to buy whole ones and run them through a grinder or high powered blender. I add 1 tbsp a day to applesauce. Check with your doctor or pharmacist as I don't know if there are interactions with medications... Yes, staying hydrated helps and also walking 25 minutes a day which I try to do on my treadmill daily...
I use to have a treadmill, they come in handy when the weather is bad!💕
Remind me to move next door and get sick!! 😂❤
I I don’t need any more sick people in my neighborhood!🤣
Ice in water through a straw is THE BEST!!!
I’ll try the straw!💕
You are an incredible person Sandy. Bright Blessings to you, Bill and Millie. Thank you for being you
Blessings to you too Susan!💕
Thank you for sharing. Love your authentic chit chat ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!🥰🥰💕
You are a very Loving and caring SOUL!
You are so kind💕
Hi Sandra. I hav been trying to9 go whole food plant based for years but can never quite cross over from no milk or dairy. this past week I went full on WFPB and my blood pressure was 112/81 when I took it after less than a week which is really Good for me (there was a time last year it hit 180/104 which scared me) from all the research I have done whole food plant based is the best to prevent heart disease. I lost a father and brother to heart attacks and my sister. has had two heart attacks already so I figured I needed to take my health in hand i'm 72 , I laughed when you said your engine light came on at 80. I felt like mine did that at 70. thanks for sharing and all the best to you and mr Bill
Yvette it can be very confusing, but Blood Pressure and how high and how low it should be. I guess we just need to pray and trust our doctors God help you on your quest to get your blood pressure down.
Millie is a Pretty Girl, Her is!
I pray God intervene and guide you in the right direction,be careful taking potassium it can be dangerous if not taking the proper dosage .❤
Thank you that’s what other people are telling me too!🥰🥰💕
Can't blame dehydration on everything..
My dicter did that to my mom!
Turnout she died from a tear in stomach bled out her blood pressure was high no oxygen getting around the body.
Just stay in it😊
That’s so sad. I’m sorry to hear that., 😞
@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 Thank you ,just always fight for what you feel .
Poor mom they would not listen to us she knew something was wrong because she was 84 I think they ignore her..
God bless you on your journey with health.
Thank you Anna.💕
❤❤❤
We add flavored minerals to our water..
That sounds like a good idea!💕💕
Millie is beautiful love her
Thank you Debra she’s a good dog💕
I tried that blood pressure medication and it made me cough and caused my neck and throat to swell up and never brought my blood pressure down ever. I tried lower doses and it just didn't get better. Other medications like a diuretic and it only raised my pressure higher and gave me migraine. I will never get a pill to help me. My blood pressure runs around 150/74 and higher sometimes. Getting older has its problems but I keep busy on my dressmaking and exercise walking every day. Hope your health keeps you strong and comfortable. I pray that for myself everyday. 😊
Debbie, that sounds like a good level to me with your blood pressure. I wouldn’t be concerned about it. Going higher than that would not be good though.💕
@@Sandrabrownhappinesspast60 Yes,medication and I don't mix...I could never be a drug abuser and that's a good thing! I could never understand how people do drugs these days. So many people have been lost because of it. My Mom had a stroke from taking meds the doctor gave her that interacted and it left her with dementia until her passing at 88. She forgot she used to drink coffee and never crocheted or sewed again and she was always making something. She spent her last days in Hospice which was better than being home alone like she was with no one to care for her. I talked to her 2 weeks on the phone before she passed and she talked to me like her old self again. Amazing, my cat started acting like herself again 2 weeks before she passed too. 😂
That is so sad. I think people did not use to question the drugs they were given. But we have so much knowledge at our fingertips now.
You look so good and so happy the test were negative.l had to buy a new dryer last year ,but l didn’t buy a new washer,mine is 20 years old and still working. Your going to be so surprised the new washers do not use hardly any water l don’t know how they get the clothes clean. My daughters have new ones.
Yes, I know there’s hardly any water in that washing machine, I can’t wrap my brain around it yet!💕
You were so good today. Gd bless you
Thank you Teri I needed that. I told Mr. Bill I think that was a boring video!
Greetings Sandra! It's so good to see you! You are such a good neighbor to send them soup. Good for you! I'm glad your blood pressure went down. Please keep us posted and know that you are in my prayers. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Thank you, Jean I will!💕
Mine used to be 186/110 getting out of bed and hospital sent me home with 205/105
Mine gets high too, so i just take deep breaths, abt 25 or so, will help it to go down. Candice
Oh no!😱why did they let you go?
Oh I love Millie, she is adorable and a sweetheart. Oh I love that comment about you turn such a age and the "check engine light comes on". That's great! Well not great but seems so true.
My washer and dryer are going up too but they lasted so long they deserved the proper rest, unlike the stuff of today. The old ones are GE so I will probably get them again and nothing fancy...at Lowes also.
Sandra, I have been meaning to ask you, hope you don't mind, but why do you call your husband....
Mr. Bill???
Just wondering.
You may need a sodium tablet. Check your blood lab report, I always get my reports because I have had hyponatremia which dehydration and low electrolytes and sodium, surprising..yes...some people need extra sodium helps to lower bp. Also doctor recommended Pedialyte Powders as needed. Take care.
😊 thank you! The new washers are so different!
You are fine!!!!
Yes I am thank you💕
Millie is sweet. Thank you for your loving prayer.
You are so welcome💕🥰🙏
I know if I have too much garlic (mostly raw) my BP goes up.
Big hugs!
Your videos are always great. You treat us like you know us, which is so sweet. Hope you figure our your B.P. My husband has high blood pressure, so I know it can vary and go up and down. Awwwww, Millie was so cute. What a stinker.
Well, I feel like I do know you, but what is your first name?💕🥰
Sandra.....I would advise you to go to ER if your blood pressure shoots up too high again because it puts you at risk of having a stroke. Over the past couple of years, I have had to go to ER when my blood pressure shoots too high. The first time ER put me on Clonidine to bring down the systolic. The Clonidine is used only when your systolic shoots too high. It is not to be used all the time. Your doctor will explain this to you. As we get older our blood vessels are not as pliable the cardiologist told me a week ago. I am on different medicine than you are so my advise is to go to your cardiologist so they can adjust your medicine. May God always bless you !!
Thank you for the advice I appreciate it💕
Tim said it’s a sub pump that grinds up tissue and waste 😳👍
Thanks, Tim, from what I understand. The pipes are narrower here on the mountain.😟😱👅
Be careful about taking potassium. Too much can kill you. So go to the doctor❤❤
Thank you I quit taking it!💕
I so enjoy your videos!! You take ccare of yourself and that bp.Thank you for praying for us too. Blessings! Your little pup is so sweet!
You are so welcome💕🙏
Thank you for the beautiful chit chat ... I like the potassium advice I do suffer with HBP and I use chronic...I will ask my doctor about it...Milly looks cute we had Jack Russell breed they are cute! I love coffee too but decaf seems like a good idea.... Thank you for the prayers I need it to heal from my health issues ... Bill is a true example of a caring & supportive hubby...such a kind thought cooking for your neighbours...you will receive many Blessings Amen! Thank you for the beautiful video it is always awesome 👍😎 thank you hugs Felicity xxx
Thank you, Felicity be careful with the potassium. I’ve been hearing from some of the other subscribers, and it can be dangerous.
Hi Sandra, good to hear your chit chat. Just thinking are you using the good salt and not the chemical variety that we were all brought up with? You're doing amazing anyway. Keep up the good work. Xx
I use pink sea salt. I’m gonna double check my shaker to make sure I have it in there too. I also have a salt substitute on the table. Thanks for the tips.
Hi Sandra. I enjoyed your video! Lots of different subjects! I sure hope your blood pressure will be under control soon. Please listen to the RN in the comments and get more info and treatment. I was going to suggest Magnesium as well. It's good for the heart. It's always good to see you!! Take care and God bless. Prayers for you as well. ❤
Thank you Trudy I am listening to the RN. I’ll be calling my doctor today thank you.💕
Hi Sandra, I enjoy your videos and the chit chat Millie is a cutie such good company hoping your blood pressure settles down Take Care and Love to you and Bill 😘🙏😀
Thank you, Lorraine yes, Millie is a good little dog.🐶💕
Hi Sandra I also want dog. It seemed like Milly followed your conversation closely amazing what dogs do
She’s such a good dog.💕🐶
Coffee is very healthy n tea as well if we don't add anything maybe raw organic honey also the water in the tea is still having water im on blood pressure meds to norvasc I'd hold on adding or lowering that medicine it really unlevals things.. I am on magnesium citrate calm, D3 etc I think its best.to use like AtoZ women's vitamin n add what Dr's say our blood shows we need
Thanks for that info I appreciate it!💕
I have 2 male jack Russell dashund mixed they are 10 now just loving n sweet protective loyal..Awwe how precious she is also they are amazing mole n rodent catchers ❤
Oh yes, she loves to hunt just like your little guys!💕🐶
Hello, We should always ask our doctor first. but I'm guilty of that too. Just talk to him or her first. I know you try to take care of yourself very well. Take care. and God Bless
Thanks for the tips!💕
MILLIE!!❤❤ Aww so cute!!
I Love my Dog and two adopted Cats!
Do you have a septic tank instead of city sewers. That may be why you have a grinder pump.
The sewer lines are narrow here and all waste has to be ground down. At least we did not have to pay for it and they came out quickly!
Sandra you are so amazing! I have been the recipient of a meal when I was sick and I tell you I was so grateful and I bet your neighbours were also. I sure hope I’m as good as you are at your age. You’re an inspiration to us all. ❤
Thank you Linda God bless you💕
Thank you Sandra. You’re such a good person/neighbor. You take care.
Thank you Mel and God bless you!💕
Sweet video! Sweet puppy! Bless you Sandra🙏
God bless you as well Moonshadow!🙏💕
I too am prone to HB. I’ve suffered from strokes as well. Water should be my constant companion. Thankful for your videos Sandra! You are beautiful inside and out. I’ll pray that you can cut back on coffee. ( I’ve suddenly stopped enjoying coffee.) Now I have 1 cup of tea) crazy, I know. Just lost the ‘taste’ for it.Praying the Lord will remind us to drink more water & exercise.❤
Oh, I just turned 70!😊
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I had a mini stroke years ago, but I had no side effects from it. God bless you with good health.💕
Thank you for the prayers, I like that part of your vlog.
I'm so glad!🙏
I enjoy your videos. Praying for you Sandra 🙏❤️
Thank you, Betty💕
I love you, as I believe all of your subscribers do. If your BP goes up that high again, please go to the ER where they can help right away. Don't take any chances.
When did you ever go to the ER and they help you right away?
I think I have a handle on it now!💕🙏
Have Prayed, so Happy to Hear!
You do need salt. Take mineral salt so you get your minerals too.
I will look into mineral salts! 💕❤️😊
We love 💕 Millie
May GOD BLESS YOU, MR. BiLL AND MILLIE!
God bless you too Diana!💕
My suggestion is keep taking your blood pressure meds.
I am Debbie! Thanks!💕
What a lovely neighbor you are!!!
We have great neighbors they would do the same for me and have!💕
