Answer 3

hhmm... base on the current American Heart Association blood pressure guideline -- YES, 150/100 is too high -- but u mention you always have a "higher" bloodpressure. If you are YOUNG -- u may want to get a complete health check including "blood workups" -- to see if anything might be causing this hi pressure.
Being overweight, too much salt in the diet can cause the hi pressure too....
If everything checks out okay -- and you are not overweight or dietary changes doesn't decrease the pressure--- u may have some "genetic" factors that's causing u to have hi pressure.
Either ways-- most of the time -- docs will put u on trial pressure meds for a few months...and then check your pressure to see if the meds have any effects.... THEN they will usually take u off the meds for a few months after that and then check the pressure again....if without meds --ur pressure is HIGH again....they will consider putting you on long term :(

You already understand what the problem is. If your doctors aren't solving it you need to get other opinions. There may not be a lot that can be done. There are multiple reasons for high blood pressure, one of which is a constricting of the blood vessels, usually associated with hardening of the arteries. A doctor might be able to find ways to ease this problem, but you have multiple health issues. Doctors don't always agree on causes or cures. I do think you may be on too many medications. I have had hypertension for more than 30 years and I take three prescribed meds and add a baby aspirin to prevent clotting. But my condition is fairly stable and responds well to treatment. Don't stop taking your medications unless advised to do so by a doctor, but I would approach this with an eye to changing the prescriptions and possibly reducing them.

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 6

EXERCISE !!! Start by visiting the Doctor for a check up and clearance and then start an areobic exersize program. Long distance speed walking to get the heart rate up and maintain the higher heart rate for at least 30 minutes.

Your heart rate should be calculated as such


220 - your age X 75% Some say 80%


but no higher, there is no benefit by trying to do 90%

So if you are 30 your hearte rate would work out to be

220 - 30 = 190 x 75% = 142.5 round up to 143 beats per minute.

I like your question because you are looking to avoid the pills and you will be attacking the causes rather than the symptoms - great!

There is a lot of things you can do such as light exercise, drink plenty of water, cut down on salt etc etc, I'm sure you've heard it all before. Check the links below for some natural methods and diets etc that will help you. But better yet get on a BP lowering program - get into the habits of a healthier lifestyle and before you know it your newly formed habits will keep you healthy without any "effort". Good luck!

I have done a lot of reading on blood presure, diabetes and heart diseases. In my opinion, and I am also not a doctor, from everything I have read the bottom line is the food you are consuming. Defintitely read labels, I am sure there is a web site you could go to to find a diet to reduce blood pressure, you will be amazed at the results when you change your diet especially regarding blood pressure and diabetes.

Maintaining Blood Pressure is Important for Good Health

High Blood Pressure And Heart Disease


hy is it so important to keep your blood pressure under control? "When blood pressure becomes elevated, over time it causes adverse effects to the heart, vessels, brain, and kidneys," says Ronald Pack, M.D., a specialist in internal medicine. "Left untreated, the risk of kidney failure, stroke, and heart disease greatly increases."

Blood pressure is the amount of force created as the heart pumps blood, moving it through the arteries. For some people, their blood pressure registers at an elevated level, a condition known as hypertension or high blood pressure.

High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" because usually there are no symptoms to alert sufferers of the disease. A number of factors play a role in the development of the disease, however. They include:


family history

being overweight

inactive lifestyle

high cholesterol levels

smoking

age, gender, and race

diabetes

pregnancy

Measurement of blood pressure involves a quick and simple procedure that can be done in your doctor's office, at home, health screenings, or a neighborhood drugstore. Readings of systolic and diastolic pressure are taken with a special gauge and a stethoscope. A reading of 120/80 (systolic/diastolic) or lower is considered normal and optimal. If your blood pressure measures 140/90 or higher consistently, you may have hypertension and should see your doctor for complete diagnosis.

"If blood pressure is persistently elevated to 140/90 or higher, it is time to consider treatment," Dr. Pack explains. "The risks are there even at 130/85, though they are small."

Diagnosis of hypertension involves recording and monitoring your blood pressure over time to discover a pattern of elevated measurements. Once diagnosed with hypertension, you must work with your doctor to determine the best treatment. Depending on the severity of your hypertension, several options are available. If drug therapy is deemed necessary, you may have to try more than one type of medication to evaluate the effectiveness and susceptibility to side effects.

Treatments your doctor may recommend include:


diet modifications, including avoidance of alcohol and foods high in fat and sodium

exercise

stress management

weight loss

medication

If you have high blood pressure, the most important things you can do for your health are to follow the advice of your doctor and stay on your medication even if you are feeling fine.

"Treating high blood pressure can prevent other diseases, health problems, and even death," Dr. Pack says. For more information, contact your primary care physician.
