I have hight bp. Doctor told me to start takining fish oil caps but didn't say how much.?

I am a 59yr old woman who has controlled high bloodpressure. My doctor said I should start taking fish oil caps. but he didn't say what dosage or how many times a day. I bought some yesterday. They are 1000mg each and it says to take 3x a day. Is that dosage too high? Or would taking it 2x a day be better?I have hight bp. Doctor told me to start takining fish oil caps but didn't say how much.?
Overdosing on omega-3 is a REALLY hard thing to do, so don't worry about that. In fact, for some conditions fairly high doses are necessary for the benefits of fish oil to kick in at all. Most doctors would say that you should be getting 1000mg of EPA and DHA each (they're the source of fish oil's potency) daily, so see how much your capsules contain and figure it out from there. Good luck!I have hight bp. Doctor told me to start takining fish oil caps but didn't say how much.?
Humans typically need about 2000-3000 mg of omega-3 fats (such as those in the fish oil) a day to achieve the full nutritive effect. Two or three pills a day should be fine for a woman of your age. You could also eat walnuts or incorporate flax seeds or flax seed powder into things if you want to get a little extra. There aren't many serious consequences to taking high doses of omega-3 fat except that your blood will be less likely to clot. If your blood pressure is high then this probably wouldn't be such a terrible effect.





Another more commonly recommended routine for high blood pressure is the DASH diet, which basically recommends more fruits and vegetables and to limit your daily intake of sodium to 1400 mg. The blood pressure-stabilizing effects of this diet are fairly well documented but you've probably tried a low-sodium diet by now. If not, check out the link.
i am currently taking omega 3 fish oil pills and at first i only took 1 a day and saw results but i read the bottle and it said take one or two pills so i started taking two and its been better i feel a lot better and much more fresher in the morning. after seeing how good they were i took 3 a day and the next day i started break out in a rash. i thought it was just me getting bit by a bug or something but i tried it a gain and the same thing happened. but the doctor gave you good advice because oil pills are good for lowering blood pressure and overall health. but i advise you not to take to many
Fish oil will not hurt you.


3x is probably just fine.

It will tell you on the bottle how much to take
