Other warning signs of hig blood pressure are nosebleeds, racing or irregular heartbeat, and dizziness. A faulty diet, smoking, emotional upheavals, anxiety and stress are all factors which often have a direct bearing on blood pressure. This condition may be temporary as you are near the end of your pregnancy and I know that can be stressful and once you have the baby monitor yourself, it may go back to normal. Here are some things that you can do to help lower your blood pressure naturally: A glass of fresh orange juice or grape juice, or raw vegetable juice made with carrots and spinach, or a mixture of the two, is extremely beneficial. These juices are rich in beta-carotene, vitamin-C and potassium, which are all beneficial in bringing down blood pressure. Half a teaspoon of dry garlic powder, or two cloves of garlic taken daily in the morning lower blood pressure levels. Try limiting your intake of meat for a while, meat has a tendency to raise blood pressure. Christina, Aromatherapist/Herbalist
