i have high bp as 140/90 how can it be normal without medicine?

Answer 1

it is not so high, however, you have to keep eye on you numbers. mostly, when people lose their weight (about 3~5% of you body weight) it helps dropping HBP. Good luck

Answer 2

Hi. I have always been told that a good healthy blood pressure is 110/70. Of course yours can be slightly higher than this and be okay too. The top number, systolic measures the blood pumping into the heart and the bottom number, diastolic, measures the blood as it pumps out of the heart. Some people, like me have a normal low blood pressure. Normally runs anywhere from 86/60 to the 90's/70. This can cause dizziness and a feeling like you are about to pass out if you stand up too quickly but they say it's ok. There are many conditions that can cause an elevated blood pressure...pain, anxiety,stress,being overweight and many more. If you have high blood pressure it is extremely important to keep a regular check on it because if it gets too high it can lead to strokes and heart attacks. There are many ways to keep it under control such as diet, exercise, stress management, weight loss, etc. There are also some really good medications out there that can help too. Your dr. should discuss all of this with you. I have known people that had very high blood pressure and just by living a healthier lifestyle they have brought it to a normal range.

If you are 50+ then this figure may be considered as not so alarming. But if you are anywhere below that, I am sorry to say that you need precautions. Presuming that you are already consulting cardiologist who might have prescribed certain types of blood thinner say aspirin and beta blockers, which are considered as normal and essential worldwide by the idiopathic doctors. As a stop gap arrangement I would suggest you to keep on taking those pills. But there are for sure other measures also which would be helpful to you to keep your blood pressure normal.

1. You know the best thing is to start exercising.
2. Pranayam and meditation will also give you effective help.
3. Reduce salt as much as you can.
4. Stop taking oily stuff -- rather stop using oil.
5. Stop eating red meat.
6. Get yourself thoroughly checked up. Lipid profile, ECG, Stress Echo (one Thallium is also there), TMT may give you the real picture of your heart.

At last, I would also suggest you to go through the book of Dr.Bimal Chajed (I am sorry if I have spelt his name incorrectly) on the variety of subjects say heart, BP, Meals of BP patient.

By the aid of these steps you will be able to reverse the process of accumulation of fats in your arteries and will be again a perfectly fit person. Take care.

Hi there,

Sleep well.
Think positively.
Eat healthy. Reduce salt and sugar intake.
Take a brisk walk for 30 minutes everyday.
Do simple stretching exercises for 15 minutes everyday.
Practice yogic breathing. You can get a lot of information on the internet. Search for Bhastrika (which is basically slow and deep breathing), Anuloma Viloma and Brahmari pranayama. Do these for at least 15 minutes everyday.
Meditate everyday for about 15 to 30 minutes.
Take a morning walk in the park and enjoy nature.
Do all these things regularly for about 21 days and you will see a difference.

I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Answer 5

You are actually right on the borderline for what is considered HBP, so it should be easy to control your condition.

The first treatment of choice for those suffering with high blood pressure is usually a lifestyle change. For those who are overweight, smoke, lead very stressful lives or don’t exercise, sometimes this is the only wake up call they need. Once they make the lifestyle modifications required, they will often find their blood pressure will lower itself too a more normal limit.

Answer 6

That is slightly above the 120/70 they are looking for now, purchase a blood pressure cuff and take it at home find out what your average is over a period of time, then make a decision as to weather it is high, A lot of pressures are high when taken at the doctors office and are a poor indication of true pressure.

Answer 7

do meditation in the early morning for about half an hour. and then do not take any tension and the best way to get out of it is to laugh a lot by reading some jokes. try to be with child aged between 2-4. then you will forget your worries because children of this age are too interesting to observe. avoid taking salt and eat as much fruits as you can. try to increase the duration of your sleep.
