What to do for continual diarrhea and high blood pressure with bloating and poor appetite? - #53707

Your statement-"my body might be raising blood pressure to help me survive the diarrhea” is not how the body works. –High blood pressure (Hypertension) is not a compensatory response to diarrhea. In fact, ongoing diarrhea usually does the opposite—it can lower blood pressure due to fluid loss. So your doctor prescribing BP medication is not ignoring your symptoms—it’s addressing a separate risk (heart, stroke, kidneys), which is important. —Your symptoms suggest a disturbance of Agni (digestive fire) with accumulation of Ama (undigested toxins) and imbalance of Vata, possibly with some Pitta involvement in the gut. This can lead to bloating, irregular bowel movements, and weakness of digestion. Stress and irregular digestion can further aggravate the condition and also affect sleep and overall body balance. The focus should be on restoring digestion, calming Vata, and reducing Ama rather than suppressing symptoms alone. ----Prescription 1) Kutajarishta 15 ml with equal warm water after food, twice daily 2) Bilwadi Leham 3 g twice daily after food 3) Dadimashtaka Churna 3 g before food with warm water 4) Musta capsule 1 cap twice daily —Diet Advice Light, warm, cooked food only Buttermilk (takra) with roasted cumin + rock salt (midday) Avoid: milk, raw salads, fried food, sugar, cold drinks Eat small frequent meals (do not fast) —Lifestyle Stress reduction (key in Grahani) Adequate sleep routine Gentle walking after meals
