Although I knew about body mind and spirit working as a whole I did not realise that snoring could be the cause of so many other conditions. In my case, after my husband of 44 years died in 2003 my health began to break down in general.( I had already been diagnosed with M.E. or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as it now seems to be labelled during the late 1980's.) I was eventually diagnosed with high blood pressure and for months was given various medications none of which worked. My doctor told me I was on medication for life, but I tried my own cures, including losing weight, healthier eating, more exercise and cutting salt intake. Very soon my blood pressure returned to normal and reluctantly my doctor took me off all medication. That was in 2005 In recent months I have suffered recurring M.E. problems, stress and depression due to loneliness and financial difficulties. Accompanying this I have once more gained weight due I think to lack of motivation in general, liitle exercise and comfort eating. In the last two months my blood pressure has risen to previous levels and if it remains high at the next test my doctor wants me to go back onto medication for the condition. I do not, so your help has given me the heart to retry the methods I used last time. I am 72 years of age so it's important to do something. Thank you again for your helpful articles.

I am now taking 2 medications to help lower my bp and I am not very pleased with taking medication. Please e-mail information on how to order and whether or not the exercises are on video, which I prefer. Thank you.

I told you that I am on two diffrerent medications for my mildly high blood pressure. What I would like to ask you is: When I do the exercises in your blood pressure program, can I stop taking the medicines I am taking? Linda Hi Christian,

I have to use a breathing apparatus to sleep properly. Does the exercise program for lowering blood pressure also deal with sleep apnea, or is that a whole other program? Although the sleep apnea apparatus is a nuicance and it forces me to use far more nasal decongestant spray than I like, it doesn't take much time. Nor does the medication for blood pressure. Time is an important consideration in a busy professional lifestyle. I understand what you call a "vicious health circle, but I don't want to get into a lifestyle-robbing "vicious health-treatment circle" either. If you are proposing or offering an efficient program(read, "low time commitment" program that's compatible with a busy lifestyle) that handles the whole circle, I'm interested. But i haven't got that message from you yet. Neill My blood pressure is normal with medication, but I never made a connection to my my sleep apnea.
