low blood pressure and heart attack

Val189 · 2004-01-18T01:06:51+00:00

I recently attended a lecture during which the speaker stated in no uncertain terms that people with low blood pressure never have heart attacks. If this is so, then what about the other risk factors e.g. high cholesterol. Can the low blood pressure override all else or is this a simplificaton of current knowledge? I am on 20 mg. Zocor and have low bp - usual readings, 90/60. Thanks, valerie

You are welcome.
Would suggest you exercise more regularly and avoid trans fats in order to get your HDL up.
And of course, if you are heavier than ideal (BMI=20), you may be overweight and might benefit from
asking your doctor about the 2PD approach:

I go to a gym 4-5 times week, and do resistance and cardio. My BMI is
20.1.I try to limit all fats but will watch this even more religiously. Mets around 6.6. Should I
try to just increase duration or mets or both? More cardio and less resistance? I have a
limited amount of hours I can spend there and want to do it wisely.

The latter will do more to raise HDL than the former. Daily would be better than 4-5 times/week.
Right before the biggest meal of the day has more efficacy than any other time of the day.

Increasing frequency and optimal timing should help more.
Quoted message said:

Ime, more effective for raising HDL.

Understandable.

You may not be getting enough. Try increasing omega-3 fats (such as fish or fish oil) and
monounsaturates such as olive oil and almonds. It appears to increase HDL for many, and did for me.
Continue to restrict most other fats.

Mets sound a bit low.

Try some of the Weider principles. namely body confusion. Try to vary your workouts as your body
adapts to whatever your throw at it in time. Confuse the thing for better results .

I believe there are ten developed for body building. One of them is "Body confusion" and this
applies to iron pumping as well as dieting and many other aspects of health or your body.
I have never looked,but a google search for Weider principles or body confusion should net you
something.

And how, I wonder, would anyone know? No credentials in evidence. No educational background in
evidence. No professional affiliation in evidence. No testimonials in evidence. Only claims from a
vicious liar who promotes the scientifically unsound 2PoundPOWDiet.
Looks like Ears has asked the same question that Largest M_asshole has been asked lots of times
without any answer.
As for clues, Largest M_anhole works very, very hard to make sure there aren't any.
