If you are fasting and suffer from high blood pressure these tips are for you. Dr. Georgie Thomas Specialist – Cardiology at Burjeel Hospital in the UAE has some simple yet effective and helpful tips for people who suffer from this particular problem and advises on how to fast during the month of Ramadan.
During Ramadan it is very important that you maintain a healthy lifestyle. You should stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids from Iftar until Suhoor to prevent complications that may occur.
Reduce salt consumption. A key to healthy eating is choosing foods lower in salt and sodium. The current recommendation is to consume less than 2.3 grams (2,300 milligrams[mg] ) of sodium a day and for someone with high blood pressure, it is advised that they eat less.
Stick to a good diet by controlling the food quality and quantity as well. Research has shown that following a healthy eating plan can both reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure and lower an already elevated blood pressure. Also, avoid any food that contains high percentage of fat.
Physical activity is also something not to be over-looed. A while after Iftar, go for a walk (4 km at least), several times a week. Medication during Ramadan:
Most medications prescribed for people with high blood pressure need to be taken once or twice a day. Typically these medications will have a 12 – 16 hour effect. The tablets can be taken at Suhoor, and during the evening at Iftar.
Patients who have tablets prescribed three times daily are likely to have short acting drugs. For these patients, it would be prudent to ask their physicians about the afternoon dose and if it can be adjusted to best help the fasting month. Usually most doctors are more than willing to help with adjustments.
I think they should inject lead Into their craniums. 230 grains at 850 fps ought to do it.
Problem solved.
My daughter (as teacher) had some muzzie kids in her 3rd grade class. With the new balanced calendar, school starts beginning of August, so they are on Ramadan for a while.
She said they were falling asleep due to lack of grub.
Freaking cult
I suggest a pint of salt a day and very little fluid intake. Also good to keep the daily anger and outrage at full tilt to stay awake.
I hope that helps them. People can’t get enough good advice.
I hear that plenty of salted pork is great for high blood pressure but I guess that would defeat the purpose.
you know you officially live in a crap hole country when a doctor tells you that you should drink plenty of fluids from Iftar to suhoor
Bacon helps carries ya right thru the day.
How about avoiding goofy cult fetishes and live your life as a normal person?

At 200 yards or more is best.
Nothing controls high blood pressure like a good old-fashioned beheading.

Do you know if they bring prayer rugs and pray at school?

Frying it up up wind from a Mosque helps.
Our friends lived in Damascus. She said Ramadan was disgusting. They pig out EVERY evening, wine and dine and party down. Fast during the daylight hours only. They went there looking forward to ‘learning about a new culture.’ Could not STAND being in an Islamic country.
No they don’t. But our new airport does have foot washing basins.
What in the Sam Hill is this doing here?
increase the wife beatings.
attack some kaffir and take their stuff.
burn a church.
Thanks for the info.
They should walk into their local mosque with a suicide vest and detonate. No more blood pressure problems.
