High blood pressure, can exercise help?

Answer 1

Chiropractic care that includes exercise recommendations can help many patients take better control of their blood pressure. A 1999 study by Fagard determined that physical activity contributes to the control of blood pressure in overweight as well as in lean subjects.1 Yeo, et al., observed a "strong trend" that 10 weeks of moderate exercise lowered diastolic blood pressure among pregnant women at risk of hypertensive disorders.2 Research suggests that even patients who must take medication for severe hypertension can benefit from mild- to moderate-intensity exercise.3-5

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.

Some exercise may help to reduce high blood pressure but hypertension should be checked and measured regularly as untreated it can cause many very nasty conditions, like visual disturbances, kidney failure, hardening of the arteries, coronary artery disease, and strokes. In some circumstances it may lead to death.
Hypertension maims and kills most suffers do not know they have it until a nurse or a doctor takes their blood pressure as part of a routine vist or for other investigations.
Hypertension should be treated and monitored using appropriate drugs.
