My 20 year old baby sister got diagnosed with a low blood pressure condition, the doctors(She has a Cardiologist and and Endochronoligist) call it a "Phenomenon" because there is only 117 (GIRLS ONLY) ranging from 18-27 who have this condition IN our area, she is a patient at the UCONN Medical health center which is a top notch facility...

Now when I tell you this keep in mind she is a healthy and intelligent college student(UCONN) that leads a normal happy life she is very health and nutritious conscience ... she has been run through a battery of tests for the past 6 mos ranging from Cancer, Heart disease and all the other common afflictions that may plague the masses but she is completely healthy 100%.

The doctor tells us its a neurological problem, basically her brains not communicating with her heart correctly to tell it to beat normally... because of this her body will not retain sodium at all she is diuretic and pisses alot of vital nutrients out of her body.... She cant lift anything heavy, or have heavy exertion.

The weird thing is they have all the answers and medicine for high blood pressure but nothing for low.... We are researching natural foods and supplements per the doctors orders... The doctor suggested a brand of licorice that is from Scotland that will raise your blood pressure naturally.. Its kind of funny most health food stores don't carry that brand cause its known to raise your blood pressure, you should of seen the look on the guys face when we told him thats why we wanted it.... So we are obtaining the Licorice as a start.

Her heart beats so slow its scary the possible complications of this is unthinkable for me cause its almost a certainty that it can lead to stroke and can be fatal.

The most frustrating thing about this is that the doctors dont know how to treat her, they tied a bunch of things like steroids and other things but nothing is working yet..

Please I'm asking you to keep this thread serious and any experience you might have or anybody you know with the same condition or any ideas about supplements I am open to anything.

Thanks JT

Also if it is possible maybe a Mod could sticky this for me so its fresh in everybodys mind
When you have an "unsolveable" condition that regular medicine does not know how to address, I have found that chiropractic or acupuncture have given folks I know great and sometimes unexpected outcomes. Chiropractors deal with the nervous system, so I don't see why this might not be an option for your sister. Interview people that currently are using a chiropractor to find the one that would work best for her. Acupuncture also may benefit, but I don't personally know as much off hand about this.
