Quickly Lower Blood Pressure and Know the Signs of High Blood Pressure

Every time you have a fight with your spouse or your kids, you feel angry, your face gets red, your heart start pounding hard, and you even get a headache. If you take your blood pressure at that time, it will be alarmingly high.

As our emotion gets intense, our blood pressure shoots up. This is a natural reaction and once your fear or anger subsides, your blood pressure will return to normal levels. More often than not, high blood pressure is only diagnosed when it remains consistently high over a prolonged period of time.

The only way to detect it is to have it checked regularly, at least once every two years. The following symptoms may indicate that you are suffering from hypertension, or high blood pressure. Be aware you could also have high blood pressure without any of these symptoms; that’s why it’s so important to check your blood pressure regularly.

Dizziness Chest pain Headaches Shortness of Breath Blurred Vision or other visual abnormalities

Most people in the traditional medical system will tell you that roughly 95% of high blood pressure is from unknown causes, this is termed essential hypertension. I think it’s scary to consider such a big percentage unknown. Because there is something you can do about this 95%. More on that later.

Risk factors can either be controllable or uncontrollable. Examples of uncontrollable risks are heredity, age, and race. The older you get, the higher your risk for developing high blood pressure.

In general, men between the ages of thirty-five and fifty are more prone to hypertension, and in women it generally begins following menopause. Also, if someone in your family is suffering from it, you have a higher risk of getting it.

Some races have a greater incidence of hypertension such as African Americans, who tend to develop it earlier and more frequently than Caucasians. You have no control over those risk factors. There’s nothing you can do to change them.

But there are many factors that you do have control over that have a direct relation with you developing high blood pressure. Too much salt intake, excessive drinking of alcohol, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking and stress all contribute to the development of high blood pressure. Do you have many of these risk factors?

Hypertension, if not monitored and treated, can lead to much more serious problems with long-term consequences, like brain, heart, and kidney damage. Delicate blood vessels in the eye can be damaged as well. Due to high blood pressure, the following life-threatening conditions can occur:

Irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias Heart attack or brain attack (known more commonly as a stroke) Chronic kidney disease, ultimately resulting in kidney failure, requiring dialysis or transplant Hardening of the arteries, called atherosclerosis CHF – Congestive heart failure, a condition in which your heart becomes too weak to be efficient at pumping your blood.

The traditional method of treating hypertension is with aggressive drug therapy, designed to drive down your blood pressure, many with a laundry list of side effects. Plus they most often do not even get the blood pressure down. Remember, most doctors admit they don’t know about 95% of the causes of high blood pressure.

But I do and I’ve developed an amazing High Blood Pressure Program designed to do the same thing as the drugs without all the side effects.

With simple exercises that are very easy to learn and perform, this method helps lower your blood pressure naturally and helps you eliminate the stress that’s so often the reason for blood pressure problems. You can learn more about this one-of-a-kind program here
