Hypertension or high blood pressure in a human being is caused when the force of flow of blood in the body is pushed against artery walls as blood pumps away from the heart are high. When the systolic blood pressure of an individual is usually above 140 and the diastolic blood pressure is above 90 then he or she is considered to have a high blood pressure. If you find no obvious reason of having a high blood pressure you can call it as an essential hypertension. Usually hypertension is caused because of high intake of salt in everyday diet, too much consumption of alcohol, diabetes, anxiety, obesity and also because of the side effect of some regular medications.

In March 2007, my fertility doctor told me and my husband that my FSH Level was a 14 and that I was able to get pregnant through IVF with donor eggs. Apparently, having a high FSH level means you have low ovarian reserve (quality/quantity of healthy eggs). My husband and I want to have another baby so badly. Do any of you know if acupuncture/herbal formulas really lower your high FSH level? Also, what else could we do to conceive our miracle baby. We do NOT want to go through IVF since it is expensive and #2, it would merely be my husband’s sperm and an unknown female’s eggs attaching to my uterus so that I may give birth. Biologically, this is not what we want…in that case, you might as well adopt?! RIGHT??? Please help with any information as to how to lower a high FSH Level….thanks so much in advance.
