What is the fastest way to bring extremely high blood pressure down???

Answer 1

obtain some good medications from your doctor that are rapid acting and can bring blood pressure down quickly, and unless youre in a severe high blood pressure crisis, you probably wouldnt need them :) otherwise, the best way to do it is through good diet, regular exercise, perhaps weight loss if overweight, and good heart health in general.

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Answer 3

uhh, I would say extermely high blood pressure is a medical emergency and you need to get to a hospital so you can be treated. Extreme high blood pressure can cause heart attack, stroke and is not to be taken lightly and treated yourself. Aspirin thins the blood and may help if your having a heart attack but I dont think theres any home remedy to treat extreme high blood pressure, only a hospital has those medications.

Answer 4

First you have to find out why your blood pressure is high. Are you overweight? Is it genetic? Do you smoke? Are you under a lot of stress? Sometimes medication is the answer. Other times, diet and exercise. My first suggestion would be to see a doctor. Secondly, follow your nose to the following websites:

Answer 5

There really isn't a "fastest" way to control high blood pressure however the following medications and life styles changes will help:

There are a wide variety of pills available to treat high blood pressure. Some of these pills include:

Diuretics (water pills) are often the first choice. They help the body get rid of excess water and salt.

Beta-Blockers are pills that cause the heart to beat more slowly and relax blood vessels.

ACE Inhibitors, Calcium Channel Blockers, Angiotensin Receptor Blockers, and Alpha Blockers are pills that relax blood vessels.

Lifestyle changes:

Stop smoking: Smoking damages and constricts your blood vessels and is, by itself, a risk factor for stroke and heart disease.

Reduce salt (sodium) intake to < 2.3 grams per day. People vary in their response to salt intake. The salt intake guidelines are as follows:

- Do not add salt to food at the table
- Reduce or get rid of salt used in cooking
- Limit processed and fast foods
- Read package labels for amount of salt (sodium) in foods

Weight loss: Losing weight, even just 10 pounds, often can decrease blood pressure

Exercise: Exercise is a good way to control weights and reduces feeling anxious.. Thirty to forty-five minutes of brisk walking three to four times a week is often helpful to lower your blood pressure.

Stress control: Constant, severe stress causes your heart to work harder and constricts your blood vessels. Doing things that are restful and calming may help you control stress.

Reduce alcohol consumption: Drinking more than one ounce of alcohol a day may increase blood pressure. One ounce of alcohol is contained in 2 oz. of 100 proof whiskey, 8 oz. (2 glasses) of wine or 24 oz.(2 bottles) of beer.

And last but not least: Contact your physician!
