Answer 1

I agree that stress and tension has a lot to do with blood pressure. Can your mom find some activities that might help her stabilize?

I like to knit. Nothing keeps me centered better than making loops with yarn and sticks. I even like spending hours unraveling knotted up yarn. I can take hours just finding the right pattern, then even more time customizing it and making little swatches until I'm happy with all my project planning. I will find out a person's favorite colors and make stuff they adore.

This may sound simplistic or silly, but my blood pressure is typically 90/60 and I'm 50 years old.

Finding something fun to do and sharing it with others can be quite calming.

Her inability to sleep well at night could be a factor in her high blood pressure. As always, the type and amounts of foods she is eating play a huge role also. Granted there are conditions that could occur that diet and exercise won't affect. Light exercise at first will also help. She can work into more strenuous exercises when she is more fit. That could mean walking around the yard or block a few times off and on through the day if that is all she can do at first. If she does not have time, then simple things like chair exercises or leglifts while lying in bed. There are s lot of different things she could do. If she has access to a pool that would be wonderful exercise. If money is an issue then keep looking for more info on the internet from trusted sources. There are a lot of great books on blood pressure and dietary changes to help it. Nuts and berries are excellent nutritional sources as long as there is only a little or no salt on the nuts. Fresh and dried fruit are also good. A person can never eat too many veggies. If they are prepared without a lot of butter and salt or sauces. There are just so many things she could do. Her age will also be a big factor. Try writing to Dr. Gott's news column. He gives excellent advice and sends info on related topics. Good luck. And, as always, have her doctor look into it and follow his advice. If you do not like his advice, then get a second opinion.

I suspect the doctor has told her this...high blood pressure usually has a root cause of some sort, her doctor will know what the root cause is and whether or not it can be treated, but that is between your mom and her doctor. What you can do is remind her to eat very little salt, read labels on processed food etc, she should have less that 2000 milligrams (mgs) of sodium in a day. It will also help her to walk on a regular basis, even if only for 15 to 20 minutes, and she needs to be drinking 2 liters of water a day as well.

Sounds like you are getting up too fast. The body's blood pressure needs to adjust so do it more gradually. Sit forward in the chair or if lying on a bed, sit on the edge of the bed for a few seconds before getting up. I doubt that thinking too much or lack of sleep would cause this. Just to help though, going to bed at midnight is not good. The sleep you get before midnight is much more beneficial to you. 5 hours is not enough for you at 16 years of age. So overall, eat healthily, get your proper sleep and have an older female adult if you are female, who can be a mentor so you can talk things over with rather than thinking too much. I find having a note pad and pen by the bed helps. Write things down and deal with them later. Take care.

The main cause of hypertension or blood pressure is stress and tension. Yoga can prove to be very effective in dealing with stress. In the case of blood pressure they can fight the causes, as well as the effects of high blood pressure and stabilize blood pressure thus reducing high blood pressure and regulating low pressure. Asanas calm the mind and regularize and balance the nervous system, the center that controls stress. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, which is involved in stress reaction also get stabilized in the practice of asanas resulting in regulation of the blood pressure.

The effects of hypertension on various systems such as the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems and on various organs especially the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys can be decreased and eventually neutralized by the practice of certain asanas and pranayama.

The asanas, which regulate blood pressure, belong to the forward bends, supine, sitting, and inversions group. However forward bends are the fundamental asanas to be practiced by persons suffering from high blood pressure, whereas Viparita Dandasana is the most beneficial asana for low blood pressure.

Forward bends should be practiced with bolsters, blankets and an elasto-crepe bandage wrapped around the forehead and eyes. In forward bends the frontal brain is pacified and blood flow to the brain is regularized. Stress gets released from the sense organs, eyes, nose, throat and tongue. Stress, chronic headaches and eye pain is also reduced.

The sympathetic nervous system relaxes and this has a positive effect on the other systems. Blood pressure becomes stable when the sense organs, the brain and the sympathetic nervous system are in a relaxed position. The horizontal position of the spine in these asanas allows the heart to slow down, as there is no stress to pump the blood against gravity to the brain. The heart rate and the cardiac output simultaneously slow down and blood pressure is controlled.

Although Uttanasana and Adhomukha Svanasana are categorized as standing asanas, they are actually forward bending standing poses and as such have a similar effect on the nervous system. When these two poses are practiced, the blood flows more freely into the aortic arch and the carotid sinuses. This extra perfusion into these volume sensitive structures inhibits the vasomotor center and blood pressure becomes normal.

Supine poses such as Supta Baddhakonasana and Supta Padangusthasana allow the abdominal region to spread and relax. This relaxation is not only beneficial to the entire organic body, but is also soothing on the nerves. Those suffering from high

blood pressure practice sitting asanas such as Baddhakonasana, Virasana and Upavista Konasana. People suffering from high blood pressure often have difficulty in breathing and these poses owing to their erect position, soften the diaphragm and remove tension from the ribs and the muscles. This helps the person to breathe easily.

Inversions such as Halasana, Setubandha Sarvangasana and Viparita Karani rests and rejuvenates the nerves and reduce the sympathetic tone immediately. Regular practice of these asanas keep the blood pressure under control. In Setubandha Sarvangasana the diaphragm and lungs are under control. The diaphragm and lungs are lifted and this help stabilize the blood pressure. Viparita Dandasana rests the Medulla oblongata, the center that controls blood pressure. However this pose is for those suffering from low blood pressure and should not be practiced by people suffering from high blood pressure, as it increases ocular pressure.

Svanasana and pranayama helps to control the automatic nervous system and the sympathetic tone gets reduced. As the mind and senses of perception are withdrawn, the blood pressure regularizes.

Advice:
Be sure to get advice from a trained teacher. When you have a backache, you should not do any yoga postures without expert guidance. This is especially true if your pain comes from a slipped disk.
