Walking daily, walking daily and more WALKING helped me lower my BP from 150/97 to 115/77- 120/76. I swear, it’s the walking and lots of water and fruits and veggies ❤

High blood pressure, really high cholesterol and was on 9 medications that I really had a bad reactions too. I quite smoking, quit drinking, stopped eating red meat and ordering out and eating out, dropped how much meat I ate and quit dairy , Started walking, then going to the gym, lost 40 lbs., then started running and there is a bit more, now I'm on a blood thinner, that's it. I run 7 miles on a tread mill every day, work out with weights and ride a bicycle well when I'm not riding my Motorcycles. I'm glad I didn't just submit and give up, I'm glad I got angry at myself and came out fighting :-).

I have an appointment with my cardiologist on the 29th of this month I'm going to ask him if it would be ok if I only take the blood thinner in the morning. I hope he says its ok.

I have friends who have had blood pressure spikes due to anxiety. Instead of being given anti- anxiety medication or exercises they were put on high blood pressure medication that dangerously lowered their resting blood pressure levels.

[@ttee6990]

whatever the reason for high blood pressure it needs to come down. and the doctor obviously concluded that the hbp meds would help with both. bec the meds they use for hbp also relaxes the heart muscle and thereby helps with anxiety as well. it doesnt ring right that a doctor wouldnt talk about exercize for hbp. its one the first things. if you arent the patient then you dont really know for certain what the doctor told her. never assume you know all of what people tell you.some people choose to ignore what they doctor has said. many different scenerious can happen for you not to know the whole picture.

I don't know why people think blood pressure medication fixes anxiety. You can have low blood pressure and still be really anxious. People need to be on the correct medications to treat the illnesses properly. doctors are more concerned about fixing the symptoms, not fixing the root cause.

I'm 79 and consider myself in excellent health, with a healthy diet and lifestyle (i.e., boring - boring is good). For most of my life my systolic pressure has been around or below 120, but the readings during my last two visits to medical providers have been around 130 - diastolic remains in the 60's. I'm going to give breathing exercises a go in an effort to get my systolic down; the last thing I want to do is go on medication - one of my ambitions for my remaining time is to make it to the end without having to be on medication.

I did some biofeedback training years ago and lowered my blood pressure considerably and at will. But every time I walk into a doctor's office, my blood pressure shoots up very high. I have white coat syndrome for sure and sometimes it takes a lot to convince different doctors. It usually takes me keeping a record of my blood pressure at home for a couple of weeks and taking that to the doctor with my machine. I had seen my current doctor for 4 years before I had a normal reading in her office. It takes a long time to convince some doctors that white coat syndrome is real and a struggle for some people. I usually try to slow my breathing before they take my blood pressure in the doctor's office now. I'm convinced my blood pressure wouldn't be high if I never had to go to a doctor!😘

I read that if you are taking your bp at home, you're supposed to sit quietly for 15 minutes, empty your bladder, do some deep breathing to relax. Maybe they can take our bp at the end of the visit?

True story, in 2008, I passed out at home and did a tree-fall faced plant on my nose and front teeth. Lots of blood and an ambulance ride to the ER. After being admited and in bed waiting for the doctors, I decided to try meditation. My process, was to take slow, deep breaths with a hold then a slow exhale; count of ten in, hold for a five count and then a exhale for a count of ten. I also tried to imagine myself being able to hear every sound at once without focusing on any one sound - tough to do in the ER. the breathing monitor alarm kept going off - anoying, and my pulse went down to 43. The ER nurse came in and asked my wife if my pulse was always that low and when I heard that I said it will come up shortly since I was talking to her. My BP was down to 88/60. Keep in mind, I had a broken nose, was in pain and awaiting head xRays. The break was clean, in and out with non-intervention necessary to set it.

Thank you for debunking these meta-analyses. They appear at first to have some significance but often do not simply because of the variations in techniques and populations as you adroitly point out here.

At 70 I had a major heart attack - 100% blockage of the RCA. I was not overweight and I was fit. But I didn't keep up with my cholesterol. I ended up having 3 stents put in. Here is what I've learned. Generally my blood pressure and pulse are low - average 117/78 with a pulse in the 60s. And I keep to a restrictive diet. However, eating one bad thing shoots my blood pressure and pulse up. Say, I had a small piece of pie. So, for those who think that they can eat just sort of OK and get away with it, you can't.

Hi Docs! Thanks for your video and message, as always, great advice! A few years ago, I twisted my leg in dance class and went to a walk in clinic which literally saved my life. The doctor started with my vitals and my BP was 216/118 👀….numbers I will never forget. He asked if I was scared of doctors, nope…stressed at dance, nope…stressed at home, nope…stressed at work YES! I had no idea my BP was so high…it really is the silent killer! He told me that I was in of a stroke or heart attack…a bit stressed at hearing this. My last check up my BP was great! Long story short…started BP medication and big diet changes (less salt and caffeine). After trying lots of medications, found one that works great. Recently retired from the job that was killing me and had a hard look at everything. I was at 110/70 range most days until I started deep breathing and dancing at home. Big improvement…now at 105/67 most days. My doctor is impressed and he will reduced my medication during my next visit. My doctor was scared I would have a stroke or heart attack when this all started and is so impressed at my improvement. I still can’t believe this myself. Breathing, diet changes, regular exercise and a better outlook on life has been a game changer! Good luck to everyone on this journey. Took me six years to finally be where I am…don’t give up hope! 😀

Now, I weigh around 145 and am 5’8” so I’m not overweight at all and I don’t eat a ton of junk and in fact I fast more than eating what most Americans would consider a 3 meal day normal diet. I did have high cholesterol until I started eating a daily bowl of oatmeal and that came down without taking the cholesterol medication the docs wanted me to take. My primary care physician prescribed meteropal I think it is for BP but I have not started taking yet cause I’m just not a big medication person. I sue have severe back issues with a fused spine and my right scapula is fused to my spine and I have numerous ribs that have been plated and screwed together due to a blunt force injury in 2000 which all those injuries and repairs keep me from standard exercises but I do remain moderately active. Am I destined to take these BP meds or is there another way to lower the pressures or are they even in a place I should worry about them cause my docs don’t even seem concerned. They really didn’t have concern until I was at 205/122 one day but even then, they did not really give me answers to my questions so I’m reaching out to see what y’all’s opinion is?

Suggestion for a topic if I may…. Geriatric assessments. Who should get one and why. This topic ties into asking your pharmacist to review your meds so that people are not overmedicated and the opposite end of the spectrum is perhaps a geriatric specialist could suggest programs medicinal and not medicinal that could improve quality of life for those in their mature years. Sometime adult children of seniors don’t know where to turn to for advice on how to handle their parents needing more care and a geriatrician can be a helpful person in the process of caring for parents.

So, if I do these breathing exercises, they will lower my BP prior to taking it. And the rest of the time, it will resume its normal pattern of elevated BP. My point is that the majority of the population cannot perform these exercises 24/7. I was told by one medical professional that increasing my intake of water would lower my BP. I don't know if this is true, but it is a hell of a lot easier than keeping up with a sustained breathing regimen.

You can find my other comment I just left that explains my situation a bit better but yeah, not all of us can just go do exercise and watch our BP fall although that would be nice, lol 😂

Breathing exercises, meditation and yoga help reduce blood pressure, heart rate and also reduce your stress levels. Seems like everyone needs to lower their stress levels. :) They also impact your HRV. Heart Rate Variability.

I lost 13 lbs. My avg went from 125/88 to 116/78. That's scientific enough for me.

I heard bananas and flaxseeds can help lower bp. Therefore, I have a banana with a dollop of supermarket brand peanut butter and a teaspoon of ground up flaxseeds sprinkled on top most days.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

We have a video about this. Top 2 and then top other foods to lower BP. Flax seeds and beets are top of the list

[@Teddykong]

It’s called measurement error.

[@joseenoel8093]

So everyone knows that docs receive money everyone time they write ✍ us a prescription, right? And it's done on an honorary system, right? All part of the system, the one we're taxed to death for yet can't properly use!

[@TalkingWithDocs]

So doctors are certainly not pain or incentivized to write scripts in Canada. It just doesn't work that way. They get paid to see you. The outcome of that visit does not affect the pay.

My "natural" method for lowering blood pressure is to avoid going to the doctor because my blood pressure is normal at home but quite high when I'm going for a physical. Go figure.

[@tlm7767]

Same. I even brought my monitor into the Dr office so he could make sure its working properly. Super high in his office, normal at home.

Could also be white coat syndrome elevating BP at doctor's office

[@alphacentauri8083]

@@carolyncalhoun7555 And I'm a very fit long distance runner too. But put me in a physicians office waiting room for 30 + minutes before my appointment, and then face a medical professional who's always on a fishing expedition to find something wrong with you...that's enough to mess with anyone's BP.

cardio exercises are supposed to be really good

[@thegr8rambino]

eat less, eat only when you are hungry, move more, stop smoking, dont drink too much, dont eat overly salty foods, all that jazz, right?

[@katwilkinson93]

Minus will start calling these docs BP experts since almost every video is on BP and cardiac issues 😂

[@oldschooljeremy8124]

Ah, but a small number of times the coin will land on its edge, so it will never be truly 50/50...

lost degrees of freedom with that many studies

Stop breathing and you drop your blood pressure to ZERO! ... just kidding (for those who don't know me)

Y'all look like you need sleep!

Is this an information show or a Comedy Team. Uccch. Maybe you should do some Yoga Bozos.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Hi Jeffrey. Our approach over the last nearly 8 years has always been factual and lighthearted. Not for everyone. Maybe the Mayo Clinic or Harvard is more your speed. All the best

@@TalkingWithDocs good answer

get to the point please

Sorry that's the style of our channel and what our viewers have come to want and expect. Maybe our channel just isn't for you. All the best

Biden's Open Border keeps my blood pressure up, medicine won't help.
