what are the things that high blood pressure patients need to do in order to stay healthy?

Question

my mother has hypertension. she frequently complains chest pain and experiences a clogged feeling in her brain. she cries out loudly and returns to normal. what can she do to avoid these circumstances. she is a serious high blood pressure patient.

Answer 1

She should seek medical advice urgently, first and foremost as you probably know high blood pressure amongst other things can put you at risk from stroke or heart attack. These chest pains MUST be investigated now! I can't emphasise this enough.

The best thing to do, ONCE she has been assessed and told it is safe to do, is exercise...walking at a brisk pace or swimming are the best forms of exercise. Diet is another important factor. Lots of vegetables and very little fat particularly of the meat variety...therefore, chicken without the skin, beef are better than pork or lamb or goose!

Smoking is the next hazard. If she smokes, she should stop.

Finding time to relax is important, not stressing out over things.

I hope this helps, and I hope so makes that appointment today!

Best wishes.

Answer 2

First and foremost, Your mother being a serious high BP patient, should consult a good Medical Practitioner and get his advise. Other things like change in life style, exercise, food control, mental peace will contribute for the reduction of hypertension. Hypertension is a condition which needs continuous and proper treatment. If properly treated your mother can enjoy normal health. Very Best Wishes.

Answer 3

She need a v. low fat diet and preferably no salt - there is enough naturally present in food to meet the requirement of the body (unless she does lots of exercise and sweats alot) Might taste bland but it beats having a stroke.

She should see a doctor and a dietician to get the best advice for her to bring down her blood pressure - simply going on tablets is not enough.

Modified diet, gentle exercise, and trying to reduce stress levels are all part of taking responsibility for your own body

Answer 4

One of my friends was taking $150 a month worth of prescription blood pressure pills in order to maintain his high bp. Somebody told him about fish oil capsules. He started on them about 2 weeks ago and has cut his prescription meds in half. DO NOT take your mother off any medication. Consult her personal doctor before trying anything, but fish oil is a great natural remedy for HBP.

Answer 5

Go to the doctors.... they prescribe medication for hypertension. two or less for people with mild well controlled hypertension, but it sounds as though your mum could do with more! She needs to change her diet and eat very strick healthy diet, or she could have a heart attack.
