    My experience with Losartan was shocking. Suddenly, I couldn't understand what I was reading, and my numeracy took a nose dive. I'd read a paragraph in a novel and think "I have no idea what I just read." Stopped it after a few weeks and improved. Just adding this to the conversation. "Other medications are available."

    Medications have also side effects, I treated my blood pressure with nutrition and exercise including sauna and this worked for me beautifully. There is a reason why the blood pressure is high, you have to find out why the blood pressure is high, just to take pills for high blood pressure will not solve the underlying cause.

    Having been a vascular ultrasound tech. I would strongly advise taking blood pressure from both arms at least when you first start seeing a patient. A patient may have arterial occlusion in one arm which will give a false lower number. Good point on the size of the cuff bigger the arm wider the cuff.

    Had an outpatient surgery recently. After the anaesthetic wore off, they gave me a cup of coffee to help me come back to life. Then, ten minutes later, before discharging me, they took my BP, which was an astronomic 180 (systolic, of course). When I took it three hours later at home it was 135. Goes to show how variable the measurement is and how subject to external influences.

Great job, thorough, and really discussing the lack of agreement between different organizations and the NEED for patients to use their voice, discuss how the FEEL, and also remember EXERCISE and DIET do resolve a ton of issues.

    Changing to a macrobiotic/vegan/raw vegan/fruitarian diet, I have reduced my blood pressure to normal range of 120/80. No more than 1000mg of sodium daily. I’m an 59 and take no medications. My parents took high blood pressure medications for 40 years. They ate the Standard American Diet and were not overweight. My father smoked 1 cigarette a day after dinner. My mother did not smoke. I was a caregiver to them until their deaths. I decided to CHANGE my diet rather than face decades of medication.

      I tried the diet you're on for 2 years and ended up with brain fog, no energy, high blood pressure and dental issues. I changed to a wild meat low carb, high fat carnivore diet, eliminated my gum disease and reduced my blood pressure from 170/95 to 115/75. I eat plenty of salt and I feel amazing. Sharp mental focus, plenty of energy, I'm never hungry so only eat 1 or 2 meals a day and I find it really easy to stay lean. We're all different.

    • @rozchristopherson648
      @rozchristopherson648 4 роки тому +4

      Sportys Business I was a caregiver to parents and a grandmother for 20 years.
      Both my parents and my grandparents on both sides suffered from high blood pressure. All of them died from some form of heart disease (strokes, heart attacks, valve replacement). One grandfather passed from emphysema. All, except one grandfather and one great-grandfather who died in their 50s, took high blood pressure medications from about age 40. None of them were overweight. My father smoked one cigarette a day after dinner. They lived to ages 78-92, debilitated by heart disease and medications. They all had one thing in common. The Standard American Diet. Animal products at every meal.
      Eventually, eating animal products will catch up with you.
      I’m 59 and stopped 5 years ago consuming animal flesh. Then gave up dairy. You sound like you are younger than I am. You may “feel” better now. But if you continue to consume animal products, which have a cumulative effect, you will eventually have some illnesses that are the direct or indirect result of consuming animal products. You will inevitable end up taking prescriptions for these illnesses and maybe even need bypass surgery, etc.
      Trust me, it’s not worth it. By the time you see the full effects of consuming animal products, it will be too late for dietary changes to have much of an impact.
      There are ways to eat a vegan diet and still be healthy, have energy, etc.
      Think of the long term consequences of a carnivore diet. It won’t be good for you as time goes on.

    Great presentation! From my experience the measuring of blood pressure at doctors offices are not done correctly. When I took my mother to her doctor's office, she would be nervous about her weight and other things, and the first thing the nurse would do is stand her on the scale and take her blood pressure. After doing the normal procedures I asked the nurse to let my mother sit for a few moments and breathe slowly and take her blood pressure again. It was significantly lower. Definitely, the procedures should be changed at doctors offices. The very highest and best to all.

    My doc advised me to take BP meds because my BP was staying around 160-170 / 80-90. I did some reading and learned High BP is among the first signs of a "MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY"! I started taking 500 mg's of Magnesium oxide in tablet form. Letting the tablet dissolve in saliva without swallowing it, crushing the crystals with teeth, massaging the crystals against the roof of the mouth etc., over a period of 15 minutes or so while watching TV lowered my blood pressure into the 115-120 / 70-85 range depending on the activity situation. Natural remedies exist for every situation! Most are aggressively hidden by the "PHARMA/MED", cartels to protect profit!! I'm 72, survived 2 strokes caused by following Doc's advice & swallowing toxic meds as well as curing at home, a hospital acquired "INCURABLE", Staph infection with garlic, turmeric and oregano. That was in 2009, 12 years ago.

      Recently, on 2 occasions, I have taken my BP monitor with me to the PCP office where we checked it's accuracy against automated machines and against manual readings. My home monitor records within + - 5% of the office readings. My 'at home' average over 6 readings a day (3 in the am and 3 in the pm) for 2 weeks is 128/68. My 'in office' BP is ALWAYS (for the past 40 years) VERY high . Most recently, in the cardio clinic at the hospital, it was 180/120. It has been higher than that.
      I have learned to not concern myself with 'in office' readings.

    I got a BP check in a clinic at work. The cuff was so tight that I was in pain. When I exclaimed "ow! this is hurting me!" my blood pressure went up so high that the tech made me sign a note that I will go to the doctor to be checked out. I didn't. It would just be high if I went there because of the anxiety. Those cuffs hurt.

      @@benjaminjr6322 It depends say for example if some has tennis elbow that will be inflammation of the elbow joint there will be a bottle neck because of the injury and the blood pressure will ride due to the heart beating faster ,the brain receives the signal that there is an injury on the elbow and that triggers the heart to pump blood as a result high blood pressure registers on the pressure gauge that's how our bodies react, that's with most injuries, so in this case cooling the area of injuries a cold compression is recommended eg ice pack ,use of fenbid jell antiinflamatory medicine is used a strong pain killer and a tubular dressing should ease the pain ,bone injuries can be fatal, bone rubbing on bone is just as fatal xrays or MRI results will show clear signs of the injuries all this will show on the blood pressure monitor. Injuries to the knees also rises the blood pressure and that will trigger the heart to pump blood faster to the area .Blood thining medication like aspirin or ibuprofen is used that will make the blood flow better as blood has red cells and white cells, when the area is injured there appears to be traffic jam of cells that's when pain increases, sometimes surgery is indicated.

    Dr Baron, Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, time and experience as a Dr. I have High Blood Pressure since leaving the Marine Corps in 1994. Naturally I understand why. Drop in physical fitness, food intake, wrong diet led to High Blood Pressure. Since then I’ve been diagnosed with DM along with many other disabilities due to my service in the Marine Corps. Which was over 21 years. I’ve now been doing the things that I think is helping me. Losing weight, eating right, no fast foods, the right carbohydrates, sodium, protein, fiber and reduced sugar levels. Over the past two years I’ve lost 20 pounds to my current weight of 176-177. But I’m still concerned. But thanks for letting us know what to do.

    One time I broke the tip of the bone in my finger and when they checked my blood pressure it was like 165/100. They were all concerned about my blood pressure and I'm like I just broke my finger after I sat in the office for about an hour and a half they checked it again and it was down to about 140/80 which is still to high but not as concerning. But I couldn't believe that they were so concerned and didn't correlate that my broken finger pain would increase my blood pressure like that.

      My mom is over seventy years old and her doctor insists that her b/p should be 120/80. He wants to add more meds to the four meds that she takes to lower her b/p. She has CHF and kidney problems, so why does he wants her b/p to be the same as it was when she was in her twenties?
      I can not believe what he is thinking, but I will not allow it. It seems like common sense should kick in at some point.
