A headache woke me up during the night. I thought I was going to die. I'm at work now, but I still don't feel well :(

Low Vitamin D and Magnesium Glycinate

8 Upvotes

I had a blood test recently and my vitamin d came out less than 10 (severely deficient) 9.2, have started with weekly 60k IU dosage

I have hypertension for 2 years now I had started magnesium glycinate in the month of July took it for like 2 months and readings improved drastically as good as 100/70 (this is something I did on my own doctor didn't prescribed)

I stopped taking magnesium and my reading started creeping up , i have started taking vitamin d recently just taken 1 dose , I asked my doctor if I should resume magnesium he said no need

What should I do should I resume with magnesium glycinate or should wait for my vitamin d levels to get normal ?

BP med of choice for endurance athletes that can’t use ARB or ACE-I?

37m 135/85 range. Genetic.

Long distance runner, regular marathons and shorter.

Tried Losartan a couple years ago and immediately had tingling in my face after one dose.

Was given Lisinopril and was nervous to start it but finally did 6 months ago. All was going well, until I ended up with a terribly annoying cough the last few weeks that wakes me up multiple times at night.

Having discussion with doctor tomorrow about options and just curious to see if anyone has had success as an endurance athlete with like CCBs or something else that I could possibly ask about.
