You are right to be concerned. Hypetension can lead to these serious effects: - Hardening and thickening of arteries - Increased risk of heart attack due to blocked arteries - Weakening and enlarging of the heart - possibly leading to congestive heart failure - Increased risk of stroke - pressure is too great for weakened blood vessels - Strain on kidneys - leading to damage to, or failure of, kidneys What can you do? There are lots of things you can do to get and keep your blood pressure in a healthy range. Below are some healthy choices you can make, with links to additional resources. - If you smoke, QUIT! Maintain a healthy body weight. If you are overweight, losing even a small amount of weight can help you reduce blood pressure. Eat a healthy, balanced, low-fat diet. Exercise regularly. Reduce the amount of salt in your diet. Be aware of all the quot;hiddenquot; salt in processed foods. Limit alcohol to no more than one or two drinks a day. Have your blood pressure checked regularly by your doctor. luck!

You are not suffering from anything. It s a myth, existing only in the minds of the medical profession. Everybody s heart (the left ventricle, actually) generates almost exactly the same driving-pressure. It s about 125 mms/Hg quot;meanquot; (or RMS) pressure. You can actually calculate this by multiplying the amount of blood the heart drives round the vascular circuit, by the total peripheral impedance of the circuit, (just as in Ohm s Law), that is, 5000 mls of blood X 0.025 mms.Hg / ml/sec. To do this necessitates much higher figures than those indicated by your doctor s measurements, and it is transparently clear that the figures indicated at the brachial artery are (basically) nonsense. It s self evident, -really, when you think about it.... Who (but doctors) would argue that measuring the pressure in a rubber cuff, needed to cut off and then restore flow in an elastic pipe (the artery) surrounded by meat somehow magically is equal to the pressure inside the pipe? i.e., quot;BLOOD PRESSUREquot;... it s grotesque to a scientist in any other field, such as engineering or Physics, yet they touchingly persist in asserting it... You don t need any remedies and there s absolutely nothing wrong with you. If you let the medical profession loose on yourself, you ll soon find you re on beta-blockers (and feel sh*tty as a result) then more pills to counter the side-effects and after that, more pills to counter the side-effects of the side-effects! Such is the gullibility of the non-medical and non-technical long-suffering public that they fall for this hook, line and sinker..... to the joy of the pharmaceutical companies over the world. I do urge you to look at my profile. I haven t taken a quot;blood pressure pillquot; in years, my BP s are regularly in the region of 200/ 110 and I m honestly in the pink, in the teeth of gales of derision and opposition from my GP and Cardiologist. I feel fine, and while I may die tonight, I will do so happy in the knowledge I ve outlived many doctors who forecast Doom amp; Gloom as my outlook for years! EDIT .... P.S. I forgot, - If your BP s CHANGE of course, suddenly and permanently, of course, that s a wholly different thing. Changes are accurate indicators of true changes in the generated pressures. Such changes are symptoms of more serious, underlying anomalies, and the cause of these should be investigated.. It s only the levels indicated by BP monitors which are (well, not to put too fine a point on it, rubbish ).
are you obese or normal wieght?if you are overwieght you will be abdly in this way,you can get valerian the herbal to valium or the benzodiazapam for this aka stress
Blood pressure medications, low salt diet, and a dictionary so you can learn to spell.
