This message is from: Lori Puster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a backbelt, don't know the brand, that I got at Home Depot. It helps some, but it's no cure all.
However, and it's a big however, when wearing a backbelt, the compression around your trunk causes your BLOOD PRESSURE TO GO UP. This is well documented. I have low blood pressure, so it's not an issue for me. But if you have high blood pressure to begin with, wearing a backbelt can cause your blood pressure to go dangerously high and even trigger a heart attack. So check with your doctor before you consider using a backbelt! Lori P.
