Safest BLOOD PRESSURE Medications in 2024

Intermittent fasting + healthy low carb for 10 months. I am happy to confirm that my blood pressure dropped from 130-140/80-90 to the range 100-110/60-70 👍👍👍

Any body else notice ... My MD is NOT A healthcare provider! He is simply a "DRUG PUSHER" ... Ken, I watch all your videos and are just awesome!

Coughed for 3 years and found out it was my lisinopril.

I dropped my chronic life long high BP after intermittent fasting, stopped drinking alcohol and losing 30lbs. I was amazed that my BP is now never higher than 120s over 80s. Life changing. I'm on two BP medicines but tracking my BP to talk to my doctor about eliminating at least one of them (hopefully both eventually).

I'm on carvedilol and losartan. Went from 270lb to 195 doing Keto for a year. BP at the four months ago was 180/127 with a pulse in the high 80's. Cardiovascular Primary Care Doctor didn't like that I was doing Keto, but liked that I was losing weight. Had my follow up today and I lost 21lbs from the last visit. I think she gets in a rut with most patients not doing anything to help the situation they are in. She was ecstatic and smiled the entire time talking to me about my progress. It was a 100% change in her attitude from when I first started working with her. I've only been on the meds 4 months. The conversation was keep doing what I'm doing and we can talk about getting off/reducing the HBP meds. I keep a journal and my BP has been under 120/80 with a pulse around 60 for 2 months now.

After being on BP meds for many years (decades) I've recently found out that lowering my BP is as easy as not eating too much! I've lost 40 pounds in the last 8 months for my high sugar numbers and shazam, my BP is now consistently lower!

Reversed my high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, PTSD on keto. Now weaning off Losartan and Metformin. Huzzah!

Dr. Berry I love your communication skills. I wish you were my PCP. I am stuck with the Veterans Health Administration. I really enjoy you sharing your knowledge, thank you.

Dr Berry, you are one of the youtube doctors i watch that helped me for 2 years to greatly reduce the symptoms of diabetes and high blood pressure. your diet advices are logical and reasonable, all i needed to do is follow them then gradually the symptoms just went away. my blood pressure meds are down to 2 tabs and sometimes i just need to take 1 because when i check its not that really far off the mark. my diabetic neuropathy and blurry vision is just gone. thank you!

I was on bp meds for 38 years. They barely got it to 140/90 I've been on keto for 4 years. Stopped the meds. Bp is normal.

Thanks! This has been helpful as I take Losartan. I am 74, T2 diabetic, and I rarely exercise. My doctor says that I am 30 pounds overweight, so I started a Keto diet 30 days ago. I have not lost a pound but my blood sugar is becoming stable at between 87 and 110 depending on when I test it, after eating or later. I was worried about the side effects of Losartan so this video has relieved me of unnecessary anxiety! Thanks, that should also help to lower my blood pressure!

Ken, I just wanted to say thank you for this vid. I've known I had high BP for a couple decades. Started out a little high and continued to climb to where I'm at today. Went to the ER for a pain I had and they went through the whole thing. Two blood draws, 6 hrs on the EKG, 2 chest xrays. Turns out all the blood work came out good, xrays fine, EKG fine but blood pressure was way high. An injection brought it down part way but the Dr. wanted it lower so he gave me a small pill. After monitoring me he sent me home. I had an appointment today with my new Primary Care Dr. (didn't have a Dr. for the last 10 years). He did his work and prescribed me LOSARTAN. Prior to leaving the house I watched this vid and wrote down all of the medications and your ranking. The instant the Dr. said what he was going to prescribe I pulled out my list and saw that it was favorable for someone in my situation. That brought comfort to me so, thank you for that.

My friend stopped taking blood pressure medication and taking care of himself with low carb vegetables it was okay After 2month he wakes up with bad sroke He still struggling to leave and trying to talk it’s very sad to see someone you know So before stopping your high blood medicine you need to talk your doctor Don’t be stupid !!!🙏

I was on a less safe and a worst before keto/ketovore a little over 4 years ago. Praise God for bringing it to me! I was also on mobic or celebrex as well and the BP meds made my pain worse.... after choosing keto and losing 100 lbs , at 66, I'm not on any prescription meds at all- praise the Lord.

Great video. I do not take a pill without studying it. We are now fortunate to have WebMD, Mayo Clinic and others to see what a drug is, what they do, interactions, or side effects. My pituitary decided to malfunction around age 65, and I take a cocktail of drugs that took nearly a year to perfect that would not mess with potassium, cause protein in my urine, or mess with other hormones. I take Metoprolol to keep my heart from racing, but my Lisinopril was recently changed to Losartan. I take amlodipine and adjust my dose when my ankles start swelling, and a minimum dose of amiloride to keep my potassium up, but have to start every day with a Thermotab to keep my sodium near or at low normal. I have other issues but at age 75, I have not let any of them keep me from traveling, camping, kayaking, or flying my drone. Life is a fatal disease, and I don't really care what label they put on whatever gets me! 😎 👍

My cardiologist gave me Valsartan as my first hbp pill. He said it had the least side effects and was well tolerated. I am doing well on it.

I was taking a very low dose of Lisinopril for years, but it wasn't 100% effective. But once I moved to a keto diet a year ago, my BP dropped further and remains normal. I appreciate this advise.

Have had really high pressure since high school im 46. Since going 99 percent carnivore losing 44 lbs my blood pressure reads now 118 over 68

I am 77 been around the block as you might say, over the years you develop an instinct to being fed a line , passed over, and whether the person has the knowledge or no etc. I have health issues and in need of advice. I brows through the videos etc. I always stop at yours and feel comfortable with that. Thank you!

My primary care provider is an NP who teaches at local med school and she “specializes” in cardiology. Your advice here indicates she knows what you know.
