This is a very rare condition for me. It's been so many years the last time this happened I think.

Or this is the first time in experiencing low BP.

From last few days I was having sore throat on the left side.

Then day before yesterday a small area on the left side of chest, ached as if it ached when the blooded passed through it, it's like a swollen nerve I think...I can't describe.

Next day I felt lazy, but I felt like my heart skipped a beat few times yesterday, then this cheat area not inside the rib cage but on the rib, "left pack" it's like a very narrowed but small in diameter size area being and feels like swollen. Do u think it's clot?

Did this cause low BP? It 100-70 last night we checked. It's morning now. Will go to check again. But I'm feeling little better but not in the temples of head. Slight ache that doesn't pain.

How to get back in normal health condition naturally at home.... In this condition....

Sounds like a heart imbalance, which could be caused by underlying kidney or liver deficiencies. The temple headache can be related to overactive liver, is it throbbing or twitching? Do you have this headache often? For the heart to become deficient due to the other organ systems, those other systems would have to be imbalanced for some time.

You could have a heart yang deficiency, explaining the palpitations, and poor movement of blood, and chest pain. The chest pain is likely just blood pooling, not a clot caused by phlegm, but it could be.

Check your tongue and describe it, due you have a midline crack? Use the imagine below to identify any notable aspects of your tongue.

Additionally, how is your sleep, and how is your digestion? Also, do you have any undereye bags or discoloration?

Regardless of this questioning, you will want to follow up with a TCM doctor about this issue. They will prescribe acupuncture or herbs for the heart system and if there are any other related deficiencies in the body. Lots of places do online appointments and can just ship or at least prescribe herbs to you, so do that if you are busy.

Additionally, for us and for any TCM doctor you visit, you should write down every symptom you have anywhere on your body to aid their diagnosis. Also, don't scrub your tongue beforehand.

I would recommend using acupressure to give you some immediate relief. It is easy enough to do, and you can perform it on yourself with little worry. However, if you do feel discomfort, then please stop.

For the heart, I would pressing on the Heart-5 point, which is said to boost Heart Qi.

I am unsure about the liver, but another good point that can help indirectly is Kidney-3. The kidneys support the yang and yin of the other organs, so this will help in a general sense. Just press these points with medium pressure for a few minutes, more if you think you need to.

Well the first thing is always to figure out why you’re having low blood pressure to begin with. For that you’ll need to see a doctor and possibly get blood work done or ecg scans to get a look at the condition of the heart and any irregular rhythms.

But to help fix your low blood pressure since it’s causing unpleasant symptoms, some ideas are adding more salt to the diet. Generally, you’ll see people advise against a high sodium diet because it can raise blood pressure but for you, that’s a good thing.

Also water. Drink plenty of it. This will increase the fluids in the blood and that will help with the blood pressure.

Also are you any meditations that could cause this side effect?

Maca powder helps support energy and vitality and promotes balance in the body as well.

Thanks for the great info btw.

I went for blood test a while ago.
Well. What I believe is that the blood is thick(due to physically less active and less water drinking) so the blood circulation was poor and got this nerve throbbing ache that was coming every 10-20 mins. Then next morning the ached nerve felt like it was swollen but the bp was almost normal.

Now when I touch and slightly push that small area on left side of chest, below the nipple, at the right bottom, it is aching very less now.

The ache was on the ribbcage not inside the ribcage.

Then till last night, same ache I was getting bottom-behind the heart after an hour or less. As if blood was having difficulty to go through from that area.

My temples were feeling as if blood supply was going to the brain/head less. Felt like if the blood flow to the head was poor.

So it's thick blood. I've been drinking hot water and eating raw garlic. High triglycerides I guess.

I have sesame seeds too. But idk how to consume them? They help in thinning the blood too right?

And should I do cardio or aerobic exercise or just brisk walk for now?

Everything came normal in blood test report today. But 207 triglycerides. Which is almost normal, a little higher than normal.

But today while I was driving, I felt an intense throbbing pain in the center of my left ear,it last for less than a second. It was intense.


Can I drink coconut water in this condition?

Heart beat is lower when I'm resting or laid down on back.

Can I do brisk walk in this condition?
 
And btw , I'm not feeling much cold and hot, but normal in 30-31°C temperature. Otherwise I was feeling hot in this temp.
Why.... Is it because of low BP?

Today again I fell asleep as i felt the bp was low again. Then I took a cup of coffee and within 10-15mins I was starting to feel normal again.

Why the heart beat is slow now.... What makes it so..
 

I don't have white spots but I just noticed red spots on tongue.

What do these red spots on tongue indicate...

On my temples...I feel like my head isn't getting enough or normal blood flow... What could be causing it..
 
Doctor prescribed Statins. One tablet a day for 20 nights. I'm gonna take for 5 nights. Or 10.

Is it safe?

Drink plenty of straight clean water. And if you can, yes take a brisk half hour walk. Do something to get your body moving. Yoga as well. Focus on cleaning up your diet, and eat as balanced as possible. Main thing, get your fluids. Do this quick before this condition gets more serious.

Sounds like he’s trying to lower your cholesterol. Go by how you feel. Stuff like that freaks me out personally, but it’s not super long term. Statins block the production of cholesterol. If it helps, great. Really sounds like you need tot adjust your diet, drink more water, and get some exercise.

In the short the pills may help. Not the longterm. They aren’t a permanent solution. Lifestyle changes are.

Okay thanks. The pain isn't there anymore. But very very VERY light. Almost none.

Doctor prescribed Statins. :?

I was eating junk food alot. Chips. Cold drinks.
Very lack of physical activity.

Do you perform at least 5 hours of intense exercise a week?

I ask because it's possible you might be diagnosed for A.H.S.

A.H.S. = Athlete's heart syndrome.

Basically you stress your bodies cardiovascular system so much your heart pumps harder with less repetitions so your blood pressure decreases generally but because the heart is exercised each beat is struck harder.

IT COULD be an arrhythmic issue but many athlete's who exercise very frequently and intensely do experience this phenomena and it gives them a scare but it's not a negative issue rather it's the body adapted to strenuous exercise.

Be careful about taking Statin. The body is a very intelligent and amazing thing. Whrn the cholesterol is high, that means the body is keeping it high to fix a problem. The body makes high cholesterol to try to heal as a mechanism. The last thing you want to do is use a drug to lower it. The body has the cholesterol high for a reason.

Be careful with that. You must balance the body naturally and find whats the imbalance with it.

You already mentioned that you have a bad diet and lack of exercise. You must cleanse your diet by eating nutritious whole foods, clean water, healthy fats, some clean meats, etc.

Do yoga and light cardio for now.

If your blood pressure is low then taking statin is dangerous to your health. Do your research and use common sense.

The gentile body is sacred and a creation of the gods, we must show it respect and keep it in as much shape as possible. Stop putting crap in your body and make sure you are moving.

Movement is life.

Hmm now my BP feels normal. He checked my BP first and then prescribed Statins.

I just took second time a while ago. So shouldn't I take it tomorrow night again?

My life isn't very active. Spending most of the time sitting...

I'll start with brisk walk. Afraid to do even light cardio.
 
Every single hormone in your body, and there are hundreds or maybe thousands of different hormones, are all directly made from cholesterol. If you don't have any cholesterol, then you don't have any hormones. And almost everything in your body is controlled by hormones.

Well, I guess the idea of the pills is to lower cholesterol not eliminate it. But either way, makes no sense. Lower cholesterol means lower blood pressure. If what the OP says is true that he’s suffering from low blood pressure, why would the doctor give him pills to lower it further? Seems the OP was regularly checking his BP and it was low for his age/size I suppose and he got blood work done. So who knows? I would question the hell out of that to the doctor and unless he gave me good reasoning, I wouldn’t take the pills. Cause you’re right, even if the pills intend only to lower the cholesterol overall in the body (and btw, this seems only safe if the diet is paid attention to), it still is inhibiting a natural function in the body for a long time and that seems dangerous unless a person truly had alarmingly high cholesterol levels and urgently needed them lower.

Seems apparent the OP needs a lifestyle change to solve his problem. And he got the advice on what changes need to be made. Hope he gets better.

I would just like to reiterate to you that you should seek out a TCM clinic if you want a full solution to the problem(s) you may have. What you describe can be either the heart being weak, or the blood being thick, or both concurrently. This is something for a holistic doctor to differentiate and treat.

Also, when making dietary changes: stick by the rule of not bringing any junk food into your home. Once it is there and near you, it is significantly harder to resist. As your body gets used to not eating junk food, you may experience cravings, however these will wane over a few days and healthy, whole foods will start to taste better in comparison. You just have to beat the initial temptation to break the habit in your brain. Doing this at the grocery store is easier than at home.

For exercise, I would recommend a stationary bike, as this makes exercise very convenient and easy. Additionally, do not forget the yoga, as this is probably one of the best things you can do for you body, as far as exercise goes.
 
my dad's doctor was trying to get him to take statin to lower his high cholesterol for heart health reasons, but one of the side effects is increased risk of heart attack.... so rather than putting out the fire you're pouring gasoline on it and making it worse.

upon further research, cholesterol is produced to fight off inflammation which could very well be a healing response in your body. doctors really are in a bad position, they are told to prescribe things that are not the best for someone, while banning things like hydrogen peroxide treatment. a family member of mine had a doctor friend that used food grade hydrogen peroxide to cure leukemia in a patient, it worked good apparently, but once the medical board found out about it they revoked his medical license.

food grade hydrogen peroxide can be used to treat high cholesterol since it fixes the real issues that it was trying to fix in the first place, i personally don't like taking it but it could be helpful to you. there is a pdf called the "one minute cure" that would explain the practice of it in detail if you are interested, don't take it unless you read the whole thing.

HP Shannon's statement is most likely the most accurate thing I've yet to read on cholesterol, thank you for sharing.
 
So what to do? Two days ago a shooting pain was coming on left side of my chest with some intervals.
Then next day when I touch that area of my chest, it aches as if it's been swollen. But I saw a tiny red dot on it , it looks like a pimple but it is not.

Then a day ago I was feeling shooting or pinching pain in both of my forearms.

Today I see there is a red mark in circular shape on my left forearm...

Probably clogged arteries??

What to do now...? Any home remedies...or should I restart taking Statins...

well one thing that i know that will fight inflammation and help fight heart related issues is drinking/eating cayenne pepper. i recommend adding a teaspoon of it in either orange juice or water and then drink more water in an hour or so.

i have had felt heart pains before and this cayenne pepper trick helps for me.

if you are able to find food grade hydrogen peroxide then it would work best if you were add about 10 - 15 drops to distilled or non chlorinated water (with a medical dropper) and combine it with the cayenne pepper as they both would work in synergy. and then continuously drinking alot of water all day and repeating this a couple times a day.

i wish you the best, i hope you figure this out, i strongly believe if you were to take statins you would make your current situation potentially worse.

I'm kinda sure It's triglycerides problem. Triglycerides means bad cholesterol right? LDL.

I'm improving.. but sometimes in the morning upon waking up and sometimes in waking hours in the day, there is slight shooting pain...in left forearm I felt it today.

Then in the evening...very mild shooting ache going upwards in a very narrow way....on the left side of foreheard. It last for few seconds.

It's simply bad cholesterol I think...no?

I have been googling...foods for lowering it...

What should I eat...and what Macros.....how much carbs..fats..protein....... Indian food isn't healthy...we eat processed veggies, wheat flour bread, usually.

I'm sick of it.

I don't think I can get cayenne pepper from local market.. nobody even have heard about it either. I just have regular pepper.
 
sahasrarabliss said:
Triglyceride does not necessarily mean bad cholesterol. All cholesterol is fine until it is damaged, such as by too much inflammation or sugar in the blood.

What you describe with the shooting pain sounds like poor circulation. This could be either from the heart being weak or the blood being thick. You will want to increase your amount of veggies and decrease the amount of blood-building foods, such as heavy meats. Overall, your diet should look as described in this thread.

For your condition specifically, you will want to focus on foods and herbs that thin the blood and build the heart. Here is a list of herbs and supplements to thin the blood and improve circulation that way.

Additionally, look at this image below and select foods for what describes you. I think you are a mix between blood stasis and some sort of qi deficiency.

TCM-HT-Patterns-Foods.png



You will want to take up some sort of mild exercise that gets the blood moving and heart pumping. More is not better here, just enough for some mild circulation. You don't want to stress your heart!

Also, take some time out of your day to press on the heart 5 (HE-5) acupoint, as this will boost heart energy. Do this especially when you feel symptoms. See the image below.

I think high triglycerides means thick blood?! Then what is that stuff that sticks up your arteries blocking them? Isn't that LDL bad cholesterol???

Why should it cause that sharp shooting pain if blood is thick and have poor circulation? I thought it was caused by that LDL cholesterol stuck on the arteries....no???
 
sahasrarabliss said:

everything is connected, thick blood, poor circulation, narrow arteries, low blood cell count, dehydration are all connected.

realistically you want to pump more blood throughout your body more efficiently, along with proper hydration. i had a problem with hydrating myself no matter how much water i drank, until i started putting mineral salt in my water.

maybe you are low on b vitamins as well,... i think you should forget about cholesterol and start looking at solutions for blood circulation and blood flow (exercise being the most important factor).

as i was saying before cayenne pepper increases blood flow, opens up arteries, reduces plaque and cholesterol. there may be other supplements that you could include as well.

High triglycerides does impact the thickness of the blood, but it isn't the only thing. It can be lack of water/plasma causing thickness. It can be sugar products coating/glycating the hemoglobin. It could also be a poor heart function leading to poor circulation and subsequent coagulation of the blood.

LDL is the one thing modern medicine focuses in on, but that is far from the only thing. Taking the statins will significantly hamper all functions of cholesterol in the body, good and bad. LDL cholesterol has plenty of good functions. This is something modern medicine doesn't try to differentiate, hence why statins have poor efficacy for what they try to fix.

The shooting pain is caused by stagnation, perhaps it is the pain caused by a temporary anemia or oxygenation. LDL cholesterol is but one of the things that can cause this.

Looking at foods, heavy foods are good for building up the nutritional quality of the blood, but if the blood is overloaded and stagnated by many things, both good and bad, then this wouldn't be the best time to eat these foods. Lighter foods still provide energy to the body without being as stagnating.

Exercise and increased water intake will improve the circulation and allow the body to clear out anything it needs to. Taken in moderation, it will not stress the heart, rather it will circulate energy into the cardiac arteries.

You will also want to eat foods and do acupressure to boost the heart itself, as it sounds like the heart itself is weakened. See the previous posts for info on how to do this. Don't eat large amounts of garlic, only small or moderate amounts. Too much can heat the body. If you are not yin-deficient, this is ok, but if you are, it may worsen it.

Btw the slight ache on the sides of the head, if the temples, could be stagnation of the liver, but I am unsure. If this is the case, exercise will help this, as well.

If you have the financial means, you should see a TCM doctor, as they could give you rapid relief.

Well said. Salt promotes hydration of the body through water retention, so it is always good to make sure you have enough. The downsides of having too little are way worse then too much. Too much will result in the kidneys working a little harder to remove it.

Also, if you are curious, here are the TCM properties of cayenne, from this source:

Meridians: Heart, Spleen, Stomach

Key TCM Actions & Medicinal Uses:
Promotes Yang Qi/Tonifies Spleen/Stomach: Aids poor digestion, warms the body, diarrhea, vomiting.
Promotes Circulation of Qi and Blood: Moves blood and qi, opening channels and clearing obstructions. Blood Cleanser.
Dissipates Cold Stagnation: Frostbite, pain due to cold, arthritis.

High triglycerides does impact the thickness of the blood, but it isn't the only thing. It can be lack of water/plasma causing thickness. It can be sugar products coating/glycating the hemoglobin. It could also be a poor heart function leading to poor circulation and subsequent coagulation of the blood.

LDL is the one thing modern medicine focuses in on, but that is far from the only thing. Taking the statins will significantly hamper all functions of cholesterol in the body, good and bad. LDL cholesterol has plenty of good functions. This is something modern medicine doesn't try to differentiate, hence why statins have poor efficacy for what they try to fix.

The shooting pain is caused by stagnation, perhaps it is the pain caused by a temporary anemia or oxygenation. LDL cholesterol is but one of the things that can cause this.

Looking at foods, heavy foods are good for building up the nutritional quality of the blood, but if the blood is overloaded and stagnated by many things, both good and bad, then this wouldn't be the best time to eat these foods. Lighter foods still provide energy to the body without being as stagnating.

Exercise and increased water intake will improve the circulation and allow the body to clear out anything it needs to. Taken in moderation, it will not stress the heart, rather it will circulate energy into the cardiac arteries.

You will also want to eat foods and do acupressure to boost the heart itself, as it sounds like the heart itself is weakened. See the previous posts for info on how to do this. Don't eat large amounts of garlic, only small or moderate amounts. Too much can heat the body. If you are not yin-deficient, this is ok, but if you are, it may worsen it.

Btw the slight ache on the sides of the head, if the temples, could be stagnation of the liver, but I am unsure. If this is the case, exercise will help this, as well.

If you have the financial means, you should see a TCM doctor, as they could give you rapid relief.

I see. But I don't think heart is weakened.. but I've been very inactive physically. Very sedentary life. Does that also weaken the heart?
I've been doing cardio and that shooting pain in the arm or in left side chest is no more.

But another new problem now is that since last weekend... I've been feeling this chilling sensation in a very narrow area on forehead which feels as if it's in the nerve/artery whatever it is... It started with left side of the forehead but then it roams from the forehead to the top of head and then to the left temple throughout the day.

Wtf is this??? Bad blood flow to brain? Is there any good yoga poses for improving overall blood flow and to the brain???

It comes every day with uncertain intervals and it doesn't stay at one area... :(

everything is connected, thick blood, poor circulation, narrow arteries, low blood cell count, dehydration are all connected.

realistically you want to pump more blood throughout your body more efficiently, along with proper hydration. i had a problem with hydrating myself no matter how much water i drank, until i started putting mineral salt in my water.

maybe you are low on b vitamins as well,... i think you should forget about cholesterol and start looking at solutions for blood circulation and blood flow (exercise being the most important factor).

as i was saying before cayenne pepper increases blood flow, opens up arteries, reduces plaque and cholesterol. there may be other supplements that you could include as well.
Yeah..blood circulation. And I need to drink more water. I've been drinking warm water.
I'll look for that pepper. Thanks..
 
Now this chilling sensation starts traveling all around the face , mostly on left side. Then when it comes in the upper lip, it also feels like as if I've eaten a slight spicy green/red chilli and it's chilling

Then , now both sides of temple areas are aching now...

It is going to give a heart attack? Stroke??
I don't feel comfortable...and losing all hope.
Doctor at clinic will prescribe statins only or other things. No actual remedy.

So I'm not sure if I'll stay alive or not..
 
Should I do inverted yoga asanas in this case? I'm paranoid. Are these signs of pre stroke??

I've been doing cardio and my heart rate was high. If the heart was weak, it would have already given a stroke during cardio, no? Or it doesn't work that way??

I think the chilled sensation relates to heart yang deficiency. The headaches and cold sensations are not the brain itself, rather you are feeling these on the blood vessels on the top of your head and face, outside the brain. The headache/cold symptoms point imbalances elsewhere in the body, not the brain itself.

Cold sensations can also be due to environmental factors if you are exposed to enough actual cold. This doesn't seem exactly the case here, but just to be safe, keep yourself as warm as you can.

Yes, physical inactivity, as well as poor diet, can weaken the heart through direct and indirect means. Excess exercise can also cause it. In your situation, do only mild exercise. You should feel better after, not super tired, and you should sweat somewhat, but not be drenched.

Yes, the fact that your heart can do the exercise means it is still operating ok. This also means your body can handle headstands, however simply try it first 10 seconds, then try 30 seconds, and so on, just to be safe. It is good that your shooting pain is gone, this means the blood in the heart is circulating well.

Usually temple headaches relate to liver or gallbadder, which can feel pain when stagnated, due to poor circulation. Does this feel better after exercise, or worse? I will look into it more later when I have time. It is not pre-stroke. Every time you exercise, your body is more and more protected against any circulation issues, whether heart or brain related, or related to the body.

You should start doing the hatha yoga pdf. Hatha yoga is one of the best things you can do to correct imbalances in the body. It is very gentle and safe, as well. Here is the yoga pdf link from Satan's library.

You are not going to die. Your situation is getting better every day, based on the choices you make for your health. You will heal from this and go on to perfection through the Magnum Opus, all in due time. Do you feel any heart palpitations or chest pain still?

Thanks. Yesterday my BP was low again. Checked it at clinic. The doctor prescribed me medication and idk know what prescription it is. Don't know the meds names. I only know one med which he prescribed SEPERATELY to me...it is for depression.

They won't give the prescription paper slip which u had to hand it over to the dispensary worker who distributes medicines.

I didn't even read the prescription.

Gave me some powder solution to drink for electrolytes dehydration...

Got blood test ..will post report soon.

I'm oaranoid because of this tingling prickling sensation which feels chilling in a very narrow area...sometimes I feel it on tip of nose, left upper lip inside of it, left temple slightly above it.... It's mostly in left side of areas of head forehead face...

What's this????? Low blood flow????
