Hello everyone. I think I've worked a miracle and have gotten my mother to try lowcarbing. She is most interested in the effect of lowering blood pressure. Her cholesterol is quite normal, but she has problems with overweight and hypertension. She's taking Altace. They want to increase her dose.

She wants experiences from anyone doing lowcarbing how their blood pressure has reacted (whether good or bad). [No cholesterol stats please, she keeps reminding me hers are fine.]

I would truly appreciate any help in this area as my blood pressure was low to begin with.

Also, did you have bad responses from maybe your blood pressure lowering too fast? Did you feel sick from the diet because of this? How soon did you start lowering your medications? Can you supplement with potassium as suggested for most people doing a ketogenic diet?
