Urgent Help Needed!
My mom is hyperthyroid and she also has congestive heart failure. We are trying desperately to keep her with natural products but during the Holidays she got pneumonia and though she was able to beat the pneumonia, she started storming (at one time her blood pressure rose to 204/102 and her pulse rate was way up there as well), now she has retained a nagging hypertension (hers was very much under control) and a tendency to racing pulse rates and violent dizzy spells and trouble breathing. At night sometimes, she would sweat a little around her neck, but nothing too great. No shaking. No heavy sweating. At times, some hot flashes (though she is 78, but till now she was driving, working and was a very avid gardener, now she can brealy move without a dizzy spell!) She has a very small nodule on one side of her neck. Barely noticeable. But it "pulls" when her thyroid races and when the "pulling" takes place, her blood pressure soars.
Can anyone tell me what we could use to balance her out? Her hyperthyroidism was mild before the storms came, now it seems we cannot get more than 2 hours sleep without her pressure hiking up to 155 or 165 every night.
Thank you!
