https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Fish-oil/m-p/173658#M3875 <P>Hi everyone. I just wanted to share an experience I had using fish oil</P> <P>I had taken fish oil on and off for a couple of years now but heading towards 55 I decided, it's time to take serious my health and well being.</P> <P>I changed my diet, and started taking fish oil. Within just a couple of weeks my blood sugar started rising and my blood pressure started to go down. Too far down. After having heart flutters I went to a cardiologist. My BP was 88/64. Needless to say I felt like cr ap. My sugar went up by 4 to 5 points every morning, although not extreme diabetic levels, it was still upsetting. I researched for hours on the internet what I could be doing that would cause all of this then out of the blue I remembered, the fish oil is a new addition. Sure enough when I started researching...fish oil can cause low blood pressure, seriously low if taking BP meds, raise blood sugar and raise bad cholesterol.</P> <P>Just an FYI if you find yourself in this same situation, it could be your fish oil! (I was taking 3000mg daily)</P> <P>Just an update. I stopped taking the fish oil on Monday, my blood pressure is now back to normal 110/70 and my sugar this morning was 89 :-)</P> Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:14:40 GMT PhatCat 2012-03-17T13:14:40Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Fish-oil/m-p/173658#M3875 <P>Hi everyone.
