I’m 50, my blood pressure was averaging 180s/100s so my doctor put me on a couple of medications to bring it down. I refused to take them and become yet another lifelong customer of big pharma and took charge of my own health. I changed my diet began to exercise and got on a regiment of a spoonful of a paste made from garlic,ginger,lemon, turmeric,and black pepper. Within a month my blood pressure was averaging 110/68 and resting heart rate of 45. I believe most of my problem was sugar and diet. I cut out all sugar and about 80% of my carbs, started eating whole unprocessed foods. I have more energy and I’m more fit than I was in my 20s. The American diet will kill you. Cut your sugar, carbs, processed meats, and seed oils and most people can can regulate their own blood sugar and blood pressure. And a host of other ailments.

Reasons older folks have high blood pressure are the junks left in the blood. One is excessive fibrins, another is high platelets (average is 200,000) and constricted blood vessels (from depodited fats, calcium, etc.) Proteolytic enzymes such as Nattokinase or Serrapeptase can dissolve these protein junks and excess platelets, bringing down BP by 20-30 m.m.Hg. High-dose vitamin F3, say 10,000 i.u. daily can bring down another 10 m.m. Hg

Now as a senior citizen with a slim arm, I have had multiple readings taken by technicians using the cuff that was already on the device - which was far too large and wrapped around my arm 3-4 times - The machine was then started-and continued to inflate way beyond appropriate pressure - The physician (who was not present for this ) then told me that I needed meds !

I'm on one (calcium channel blocker...Diltiazem, generic for Cardizem) for afib (side effect) that began after taking 2 doses (1 a day) of Zyrtec (prescribed last year for sinusitis) in order to slow heart rate down (was in the 160s after having taken the 2 doses of Zyrtec and had to be shocked by cardioversion to get heart back into normal sinus rhythm) as well as the medicine supposedly helps reduce high bp. I went through 2 months of extreme tiredness (side effect listed of Diltiazem) when I began taking it last year and now I have other ongoing problems (side effects to Diltiazem) to deal with. Usually to have a bm, I HAVE to take laxative and not just stool softeners. Cardiologist has already increased the strength last year shortly after I began taking it and I was back in the hospital for the 3rd hospital admission from fast heart rate and afib (blood pressure was okay), and he considered during a recent visit to increase it again as my bp was quite high. I feel ok, just I stay stressed because of ongoing high-stress at home. Any advice would be appreciated. Maria in SC

My brother and I are both in our 70s. We are genetically blessed in having low blood pressure.

Cardiologist insisted he "must" start taking BP medicine; when asked WHY, Dr. stated that everybody over 65 should be taking meds to lower their BP! I also had a stress test "because of your age"; also perfectly normal, cardiologist told my PCP I needed to be seen regularly at the cardiology office going forward due to "risk factors". When I asked what risk factors, the PCP went over the list and none applied to me.

Two of her daughters convinced her she needed to have a routine medical check up. Doctor said she had high blood pressure. Put her on medicine. Two weeks later she got dizzy and fell. Broke her hip. A couple weeks in the hospital and she passed away from “natural” causes. Here it is 30 years later and I’ve known two older people placed on blood pressure meds for high blood pressure. They fell and got injured due to low blood pressure. Had to have their meds adjusted.

Bravo for telling the truth! A mere change of diet and I was off the pressure meds in less than a month. One warning that should be included: According to recommended and globally accepted protocols for taking blood pressure, for ambulatory patients, it should be taken after a 5-minute seated rest. If a health care provider takes your BP immediately upon coming into the examination room or intake area, call them down for it and insist that they adopt proper protocol! Your BP immediately upon being seated will always be higher than it will be a few minutes later. Countless BP med prescriptions are written because health care practitioners do not follow proper protocol when taking a patient's blood pressure.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I am a registered nurse in the U.S. and yes, you are right, all the doctors here want everybody to get blood pressure medication for anything over 120/80.

Also, nobody follows the guidelines for TAKING a reading in the office. 😡

[@iamdebmiller]

Re: the guidelines for taking a reading in the office, I wondered about this too. I'm not a practitioner, but I've read instructions on at-home monitors which say to sit quietly for 10 minutes or so before taking a reading, among other things. But every time I've been to a doctor, I am whisked in, with a bunch of various people yakkity-yakking a bunch of small talk at the same time I'm trying to weed out their discussion for instructions on where to turn in the hallway, where to get on a scale, trying to remember all the things I want to ask, etc... I am overwhelmed at that point, and have barely sat down when they whip out the cuff, slap it on, and I end up with a reading of 130 or 140 over 90. I take no BP meds and I'm 64 years old. So, is my blood pressure high? Or is it situational? There was ONE time when I made it into the exam room under much less jangly circumstances. Then the staff was busy and I sat there, alone, quietly, for about 20 minutes. I concentrated on sitting still, being calm. My BP measured 117/78. I think they purposely herd us in there, quickly, with a lot of overwhelm, and slap the cuff on in a hurry just so they DO get higher measurements because then they can throw drugs at it. Maddening.

@@iamdebmillerI'm 63, I've had the same problem. My bp when measured at the DRs over the last few years Is always around 130/80, but at home when I follow the guidelines it's below 120/70. If I sit quietly and read for a while, then press the button it will be even lower at around 105/65. My monitor is a good one because I have ADHD and take an amphetamine-based medication daily. It was checked not long ago against an official NHS model when my mum had a home visit and her Dr kindly took my bp using both. It is accurate. After an unusually high (141/85) new young GP wanted me straight on meds, which I refused. He didn't seem to believe me when I told him the at-home level. I got him to look at my older records which showed, I've had a low bp my whole life, I had hypotensive syncope starting at age 9 that carried on until I was in my 30s. He hadn't looked so had no idea. I also pointed out that I was actually consulting him about my mental health. At the time, I was in an extremely stressful situation and very anxious. To add to that, they were running late and it was near closing time, so I was stressed by the wait. To top it off, the nurse had the cuff on my arm the instant I sat down and did not do a second test. So for now I'm not on meds and before my next visit will take some photos as evidence.

Thank you Dr Dhand for having the courage to speak out on this topic. I have been a hospital nurse for over 40 years and during that time I’ve seen the growing trend to prescribe blood pressure medications to any older patient who has a slightly higher than “normal” blood pressure. The result - a frightening rise in the amount of older people being admitted to hospital after a fall. Needlessly lowering an older person’s blood pressure often causes them to feel dizzy and fall. Falling as an older person is very dangerous and often results in broken bones. We are doing a great disservice to our older population. You are spot on.

I'm male, 66yo, 5'10" and 230lbs. No health issues except at an annual checkup, my primary care doctor told me that my BP was a bit high when measured in his office and he put me on a weight loss plan and 50mg of Losartan per day. I have one of the automatic BP machines you can buy at the pharmacy and was checking it multiple times a day for awhile. I noticed some things. 1. BP is dynamic which makes sense. If I was outside working and then measure it immediately, it will be well above the 120/80, maybe 150/100 with a pulse in the 90s. This apparently is to be expected when exercising because the heart needs to pump more to meet the oxygen demand. If I sit quietly, relax and breathe deeply for a few minutes, I can get it down to maybe 128/85. I have noticed that being nervous or stressed mentally, results in a higher reading. Also if I've just had lunch and then on a full stomach, take a reading, it tends to be higher. Drinking coffee or coke (with caffeine) gives a higher reading. Losing weight, just a few pounds, also makes a big difference in the readings. So Dr. Dhand's comments align with what I've observed personally. BP is dynamic and interpreting the measured value must take into consideration several factors. Having the patient measure at home and record readings over several days and/or weeks seems like a good idea.

Blood pressure varies throughout the day and according to activities. A power lifter’s BP goes sky high during a lift. When people are nervous BP goes up. When people have to wait 30 minutes in a waiting room and have urine to evacuate it will cause higher blood pressure readings.When people are in pain for example a toothache, blood pressure goes up. Best to get a good cuff BP monitor and check upon waking and perhaps before bed and once another time.

I have been wondering on this myself. Especially since I went to do a UTI test and my doc took my blood pressure. I was caught off guard, have white coat, had coffee that day, and walked fast to not lose work time. My bp was 145/82 and they freaked out. Which caused me to freak out. They wanted to increase my meds. I had a smaller dose at home so I took one for a day to see (which would have been half what they wanted to increase me to) and I got light headed and dizzy. When I used a watch that read BP I was consistently 119/76. I am really believing I take a pill for no reason every day - I just have white coat syndrome and now can't test at home because the sound of the machine I feel my heart race.

I suffer from that also and I never got any help from the BP meds, I guess that if you have no problems all the meds can do is cause problems.

That reading at the doctor's office is not what I call high blood pressure at all. Especially since you had all the events you describe prior to the visit. That used to be called borderline high blood pressure (and hardly that, you diastolic is normal) there is no reason to freak out over it. Sorry, I had been a RN for over 35 years. I have taken literally thousands of blood pressures. The blood pressure is supposed to vary. It is not to be painted on 120/80 all the time, if it didn't move up and down you couldn't get through the day. I would not worry about it and I suspect you don't even need to be on medicine.

And the clogged artery wasnt from eating meat.. it was carbs, sugar. (That’s another topic) And taking all those blood pressure meds did nothing. My blood pressure didn’t go down at all.
