Exercise & Blood Pressure

[@dicksonmurithi2567]

Absolutely, well explained...about 6 months ago i went for check up 3 times and my BP was ranging 142/90...Dr advised me to start medication, watch on what am eating and do alittle more exercise...i didnt take medicine but strictly adhered to what i was eating and embarked on high intensity training...basically running for 45min to 1hr...3mnths later went back for check up, my BP now is 123/78.....also i lost so.e weight from 83kgs to 76kgs..and my body feel so great now.....

[@Heisenberg991-m1i]

İn many cases,ofcourse there is exceptions..medication is for those who doesnt want to change the life style and insist on eating garbage..i mean who are not open for any improvement but medication

[@Kelly_Ben]

@@Heisenberg991-m1i Unfortunately I used to agree with you... I had the same BP as the poster, about 143/90. But I was a healthy weight, ate pretty healthy, ran, did yoga. I was also only 40 years old!! So I refused the meds, ate even healthier, ran even more, because meds are for slobs and old people, right?? I wound up having a minor heart attack, and narrowly missing permanent kidney damage, a common side effect of uncontrolled high blood pressure. I'm now happily taking my meds, and absolutely kicking myself for being too proud and ignorant to recognize that sometimes meds are necessary regardless of lifestyle.

Hello me again. 1 year later, I am a health coach for men with risk factors for heart disease and this is the best explanation ever for how exercise decreases blood pressure. Truly a masterpiece of an educational video. Thank you!

It is. I wonder, how long does the effect of the exercise keep the blood vessels expanded? A few hours? A few days?

[@ethancastellanos661]

On 12th feb i went to the doctor to get myself checked as my head was spinning and having headache. My bp was 170/120 .i am only 25 yo. I started walking everyday and cut my sodium intake. Two weeks later again i we to the doc and readings were 164/108. And now he prescribed me medication. I went to him on 28th and readings were still 160/98. The medication wasn't showing much effect. On last Wednesday i saw this video and started running every morning and evening. Like walking plus Jogging altogether. And the day i walked first, my bp in the evening was 128/90. Today its been 6 days since i started Jogging regularly and i went to the doctor again. Today my readings were 112/82. M really thankful to you doctor, your video helped me a lot in explanation how exercise works in lowering bp and when i tell exercise works, it works more wonder than medication.

[@OnePlayer480]

@@richardlawson6787 Worth mentioning that if you have HBP then you should walk/jog first before actually running that long for large periods of time. Someone mentioned to me once that you can actually divide it like: 10 minutes walking 10 minutes jogging 10-5 minutes running, because running is actually harder on you general heart. You might want to don't run some days, if you feel like it is too much you could also run for like a minute, slow down and wait and run again. Also, should probably do it while under the sun, because several people can get BP issues from lack of Nitric Oxide or Vitamin D from not exposing themselves to sunlight, which can also lead to anxiety/depression or both, go out even if it is cloudy. Clouds don't really block light that hard. "But, skin cancer..." Sunscreen, if you have a darker skin color, unironically, your risk will be considerably lower so you could say "nah" and don't use it. I'm not joking. Still, take precautions if you must but don't stress over it, remember that cancer can happen because of a random bodily error you can't control. Everyone needs a little raw sun every once in a while.

My doctor couldn't explain this to me as well as you did. I'm 39 and was diagnosed with hypertension.

I came here because I did a long, intense bike ride (very high intensity in bursts at the beginning and then I was worn out so a long slow ride home) and I decided to instantly check my BP, thinking it would be through the roof, but it was the best BP result I think I ever had.

Thank you Dr. Mike for this video! I have high blood pressure and I was hesitant to exercise because I feared that exercising would make my hypertension worse. Now, I understand how exercise could help lower my BP afterwards with the hormones relaxing my arteries.

Very good explanation,but in that case blood pressure drops just temporarily,later after some time it comes back as it was.

Great video and very interesting. Can I bring up a concern? There are people in the comments section here offering advice and others enthusiastically and gratefully taking advice on the control of blood pressure. That advice may or may not be valuable. Please remember that the person giving the advice is not necessarily a health professional and their advice maybe based on just their own opinion or even worse some faulty information gained elsewhere. Just because they are commenting on a reputable site run by medical professionals doesn't change the fact it is still just a KZbin comments section. If you have high blood pressure get advice from a health professional not a KZbin comments section.
