ACE Inhibitors - #19611
I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure, and my doctor prescribed ACE inhibitors to help manage it. I’ve been taking them for a few weeks now, and while I haven’t noticed any major issues, I do feel a little concerned about the long-term use of these medications. I know ACE inhibitors are commonly used for high blood pressure and heart failure, but I’m curious if there are any natural alternatives or ways to support my body while taking these medications. I’ve read about Ayurveda and how it emphasizes balancing the body’s energies, and I’m wondering if Ayurveda can provide any additional support in managing my blood pressure without relying solely on medications. I’ve heard that ACE inhibitors work by relaxing blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure. But, I’ve also read that some people experience side effects like dizziness or a persistent cough. I haven’t had any of those side effects yet, but I’m still concerned about any long-term impact on my kidneys or other organs. I’m trying to make sure I’m doing everything I can to stay healthy, and I’m interested in learning if Ayurveda can help improve my cardiovascular health or lower my blood pressure naturally, alongside taking ACE inhibitors. I’ve also been thinking about my diet and lifestyle. I’m trying to eat healthier, but I’m not sure if I’m making all the right choices for my condition. Are there specific foods or Ayurvedic herbs that could complement the use of ACE inhibitors and help further support my blood pressure regulation? I’ve heard that turmeric, garlic, and ginger can be beneficial, but I’m unsure of how to incorporate them into my daily routine. I’ve also been trying to manage stress better, as I know that stress can contribute to high blood pressure. I’ve been practicing yoga and meditation, but I’m wondering if there are any Ayurvedic practices specifically designed to help reduce stress and maintain healthy blood pressure. I’m open to any holistic solutions that can enhance the effectiveness of my medication and improve my overall well-being. Can Ayurveda provide any specific advice or treatments for people who are on ACE inhibitors? I want to make sure I’m supporting my body in the best way possible, and I’m hoping to incorporate some Ayurvedic remedies to complement the medication I’m currently taking.
