Body temp around 37.0 C. Got a 24h-blood pressure reading yesterday. Mean pulse is 75; and my mean blood pressure was alarmingly at 150/90 mmHg and I was just chilling and walking that day.
Barnes and RP talk quite a bit about thyroid, salt, and other things that can reduce BP.
adrenaline actually lowers body temp but increases heart rate?
Do you genuinely think you need blood pressure medication?
I have watched it creep up over the last 2-3 months. I was pretty consistently around 140/80 to 160/90. I have a blood pressure device at home and measure it almost daily if not multiple times daily.

Thats probably true and something to consider. But also it could be something your taking that could be exacerbating it. Or your diet's carb to protein ratio could pose a problem.
Yes I tried it. It seems to aggravate my symptoms. It‘s concerning to me that taurine + vitamin A resulted in raised serum vitamin A in comparison to vitamin A alone. When vitamin A in the serum raises it causes the wicked symptoms.Have you tried taurine?

I think the vitamin A excess is probably the root of the hypertension.
I'm in the same situation as you. I have a family history of hypertension. For a while I couldn't work out if I have vitamin A deficiency or toxicity. Now I think it's the latter. My blood pressure has not come down even with medication neither have the various remedies I have been using for years made significant difference. My LDL is slightly elevated. It’s been a year since I started using thyroid. My blood pressure remains stubbornly high. I’m starting to calcify my soft tissue. Medication can bring it’s own problems. You are still very young so do your best to lower it without meds.
Zinc increases cholinergic and dopaminergic activity. Both help antagonize norepinephrine when in excess which is a major contributor to hypertension. P5P raises dopamine and serotonin. Serotonin also helps antagonize norepinephrine. This is probably why vitamin D helps you as well since it upregulates the rate-limiting step in serotonin synthesis.
What would be beneficial compounds working in the same direction as zinc and P5P - raising acetylcholine and opposing sympathetic drive?
Oh wow. What meds have you tried for bringing down the blood pressure?
I did try 2 types of calcium channel blockers but the side effects were too much and I didn't last long on them. I'm on telmisartan and I haven't tolerated it well. It lowers zinc levels and many other nutrients. I feel trapped because I can't come off it . I may have to try a different calcium channel blocker if I get desperate.
All the B-complex vitamins work in this direction as well as vitamin E. You should not take more than 400IU if you take it as it thins the blood. High doses of B complex vitamins can cause more frequent blood sugar drops thus it can be triggering for blood pressure but not lower doses. They sell 100% RDA B-complex supplements that contained decent amounts that will help and contribute to total B-vitamin intake without the risk of excess.
Oh I am really sorry to hear that. What are the sides of telmisartan you experience?
Pure Encapsulations have a decent B Complex with 200-300 % RDA of activitated B‘s.
