Am 50.Blood pressure level increasing..150/100.is it ok ? How do i control it??

Question

Once a while I see my regular physician.He tells me my blood pressure level is around 150/100 and does not want me to take any prescribed medicines.Is it ok ? or are there any methods (yoga/reiki,excercises) by which i can bring it down to 120/80 my original and normal level ??

Answer 1

your blood pressure is a little high,normal is 120/80,so its not real bad but you make think about seeing a dotor to get some blood pressure medicine and you can also help if you change some bad eating habits

Answer 2

I would consider you to get a different Medical Doctor. Any thing not normal blood pressure, 120/80 is very high in your case. You should try walking and if that does not work you should get blood pressure medication, before it's too late. That could cause Heart and Kidney failure.

Answer 3

Not.Your blood pressure is too high.Ways to decrease your BP walking daily,lose weight,eat <2000 mg of sodium per day,control stress(take a tranquilizer if you have to) You should purchase a wrist BP device at the pharmacy and record your blood pressure daily and make a log.Take the log to your doctor and let him review your daily BPs.They are very pleased with these logs.He may not be treating you because he thinks you have "white coat syndrome" meaning a doc visit causes you stress,hence elevating your blood pressure.He should still have requested you to keep a daily log,maybe he just doesn't care.Maybe you need a new doc.

Answer 4

Your blood pressure is high. Your doctor should be going over ways to reduce it. You should cut down on sodium in your diet and increase potassium. Some quick tips- my dad has high blood pressure and while he is controlling it with medication, I try to get him to eat certain things that are high in potassium and to stay away from salty snacks like salted nuts, chips, deli meats, and canned soups. He eats a banana every day (at least one) which are very high in potassium. Also, potatoes are high in potassium (no salt allowed). Don't sprinkle salt on your foods.
Do a Google search for the DASH diet. You should make changes in your lifestyle or try medication, as your blood pressure is relatively high- serious risk factor for stroke, heart disease.

Answer 5

For the time being you have to take the medicine of Alloapathy because BP has to be in control otherwise may caused some serious problems. Side by side you can start prayanam specially LOm vilom as suggested by Baba ram Dev . You can very easily can do it every day for 15 minutes whichh you can learn from Astha Channel from 5.30 to 7.30AM every morning. I m also BP patient but i have started the same from last 15 days and i m now sleeping comfortably and feeling some refreshness and improvement . wish you all the best.

Answer 6

Try Hawthorn in capsules also trymoducale if you have high cholesterol . You may want to try garlic as well and deffinatly get another medical oppinion. Even though I am a naturopathic practioner I feel that sometimes modern and holistic work together. By the way you can find all these suplements at a health food store!

Answer 7

This is indeed a medical so no one other than your doctor knows you well enough to answer . The literature would indicate that exercise, weight loss, limitation on sodium , limtation of stress are all factors that could contribute to blood pressure reduction.
You should come up with ideas on all of these issues, review them directly with your doctor and set a follow-up date with him to see if you are making progress.
Other than the normal risks of exercise, all of these can only help.

Answer 8

If your Dr. says it's 150/100 and won't give you any meds. He/she is nutz. It's NOT OK.
First of all, get another Dr.
You should be at least taking 40 mg's of Accupril or 40 mg's of Norvasc to lower and regulate it.

Answer 9

You better get another doctor, that Blood pressure would make me horizontal. You need to be on meds. Everyday you have a pressure like that you're tempting stroke and death. "get another doctor"

Answer 10
