I used to have systolic blood pressure in the 130's to 150's. I had a six pack and could run a 3 mile in 19 minutes, I was in the marine corps. I got diagnosed with hypertension and got put on medication. I gave up caffeine and still struggled with blood pressure for years. This past year in pandemic i stopped working out and put on 20lbs... I've also been trying to eat more metabolically healthy so a lot of red meat, whole milk, bacon, salt and eggs. i would say that makes up 70% of my diet. I've also been taking magnesium with other trace minerals along with desiccated heart. My blood pressure reading most recently was 108/72!!

[@karben7296]

I read that back in the 70's blood pressure readings weren't considered high unless over 160/95. The standard is so low now it's crazy. The article said lower numbers weren't based on anything scientific, just Big Pharm wanting to sell more drugs. We are all different, if my body was supposed to be around 160/95 then doctors shouldn't intervene trying to get it unnaturally lower. Some folks may have a 120/80 as a natural reading for them. To get everyone as close to 120/80 by using prescription drugs is very stressful for many. Right now I'm following Keto. Carbs, inflammation and high blood pressure seem to go together.

The only thing that has show up as not normal, apart from BP, is the fact that I have a large renal cyst, (now cysts) on one kidney. My own "research" has found multiple cases worldwide where hypertension has been lowered by aspiration or marsupialization in cases like this. I cannot get any medical professional to take this seriously and accept this might be worth exploring as a possible cause.

What do you think about sitting in a far infrared sauna at about 135 degrees, or what can be tolerated, everyday and use a near infrared heat lamp focuses on the kidneys and general torso? Blood pressure goes down significantly and the only risk is the discomfort of sitting in a hot sauna or getting too hot with the heat lamp close up. It obviously is non invasive to the body with those risks involved, and very cheap compared to a surgical procedure and doesn't involve a doctor. My theory is, if it is done everyday over a prolonged period of time, it may cause changes in the body that will lower the blood pressure permanently.

[@bm2g]

lifestyle is always king with blood pressure, & nearly all of the time its from chronically high insulin & blood sugar from a poor diet high in carbohydrates of all kinds, & once the body becomes insulin resistant the blood pressure begins to climb the closer the person gets to type 2 diabetic. I have never see a situation where an individual who lowers carbohydrate intake right down & adopts a ketogenic lifestyle does not lower blood pressure, now whether they get it down to the ideal level will be based on how much damage has been done to kidney function & other damage to the body which affects blood pressure. High blood pressure is a symptom of something else, medicine just puts a plaster over this problem, lifestyle is the cure.

[@seanusa6663]

bm2g May I ask how many people do you know that they are on keto? I am just very curious because I started about 3 years ago and after loosing about 65lb , my blood pressure went down from 155-85-78 to 126-65-65. I am still doing good. But sometimes notice that all of a sudden It jumps to 145-70-66 , for only couple of days and back to normal.

[@ralphtaylor9968]

While I agree with you to some extent that may not always entirely be the case. I had high blood pressure and have been on a ketogenic way of eating for about 18 months (fasting BG 4.9 and ketones about 1.2) In that time all my metabolic syndrome markers have improved (including BP) but I'm still slightly hypertensive. Like you I thought I'm doing all the right things my BP should be "normal" but it wasn't so there could be other stuff going on too, its a multifactoral issue. So I'm on a low dose of meds and that's doing he trick. This treatment and others is dealing with a symptom, we still need to understand better the less obvious causes of hypertension.

[@bm2g]

@@ralphtaylor9968 like i said lowering carbohydrates right down & becoming insulin sensitive again will lower blood pressure but it all depends on how much damage was done to kidney function & other things that impact blood pressure, people can have high blood pressure for years doing damage to the body, glad its under control now.

First I would to say that your channel is one of the best...without a doubt. But I am surprised that you have not discussed the benefits of putting patient who exhibit refectory hypertension on a ketogenic diet. Hyper-insulinenia is, without a doubt, a major driver in hypertension. Almost systematically, when patients are put on a very low carb diet their blood pressure drops....sometimes quite dramatically. This is why people who start a ketogenic diet should actively monitor their blood pressure if they are currently taking a anti-hypertensive. Renal denervation is accomplishing nothing but inactivating the renal information pathway in association with cardiac control and pressure. It seems somewhat barbaric.

Yes uric acid should be included in the tests The simple permanent solution which I do with my global patients 1) Take at least an hour of detailed history which most of the drs do 2) identify the triggers causing high bp and fix them 3 )do the correct blood work which should include the inflammatory markers 4) Reduce weight if overweight Reduce salt increase MG and potassium intake only if you are not on ACE OR ARB drugs Address sleep and stress issues Take supplements go on a plant based diet mostly You can reverse any high bp easily without any medicines if you have not developed any complications of high bp Connect with me through WhatsApp listed on my website if you need advice www.wellnessdr.in Dr in Lifestyle medicine MD 🇺🇸

I can lower my own or raise my bp as needed. I lower to sleep or rest or calm. When stress hits. I raise it as fight or flight. Adrenaline.

Dear Sanjay plse can u advise about aortic coarctation . I know this isn’t the subject here, but I follow on u tube a family called “Rachel and Justin”, and they’re having twins. Rachelle has had a 22 week scan revealing one of the twins has coarctation. They live in California and are right now very worried. Is this mostly a very subtle problem or will the baby need surgery at birth ? Hard to know as yet I suppose . They would appreciate ur fine advice and knowledge. Many thanks Jenny

[@sueslim7545]

I am one of those, medication doesn't work for me, my question is, what kind of food can reduce BP, thank you

[@stewart5284]

Sue, you get better BP results by what you DON'T eat than what you eat. I had the same problem. Are you overweight? A lot of people's blood pressure naturally goes down when they eat a low carb diet or even a keto diet and lose a lot of fat and water weight. Too much sugar and insulin in the blood can cause high BP problems. A low carb diet will reverse this problem. Also, your cortisol may be high due to high stress.Get plenty of good sleep and meditate. Many people's BP went down when they reduced their daily meals to one or two a day. Fast for 18 hours and eat in a 6 hour window everyday. Or 16 hour fast and eat in an eight hour window. Part of the fasting time is when you are sleeping. Also don't eat fake processed foods with chemicals and fake fats like vegetable oils. Use extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil and real butter not margarine. Get lots of potassium by eating avocados everyday and leafy greens daily. Take a magnesium supplement daily.

[@danieljames2015]

I am on meds for HBP, last September I started drinking high quality Pomegranate Juice and almost immediately my Diastolic dropped below 90 and has remained in OK range. Organic Beet Juice, and Garlic ( 5 cloves), ACV, Asparagus, Greens, Chia seeds, Flax, Celery Juice, and Celeriac, and Swedes ( replace Potatoes) all can have an effect. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks.

[@blackwater4707]

I'd like a video on how to get my blood pressure up. I'm struggling to keep my heart rate up as well. I take electrolytes every day and douse my food in salt. I've taken up running and lift weights. I don't know what the problem is or what else to do. My average heart rate is 61-59. I'd feel more comfortable to get it a bit higher.

[@carlfetterman8808]

Black Water That’s a good heart rate. You didn’t mention what your BP is, and why you want to raise BP. Running and lifting weights should lower you resting heart rate and BP, by the way. If you are not dizzy, or feeling like you will faint or black out, I don’ think you should worry.

[@joycem9726]

can you discuss stenting for renal stenosis and how that works to lower blood pressure. thank you..

[@MR..181]

Joyce M ..stages your death..at large costs..and requires daily expenses that lock you into appointments and drug prescriptions forever and the stent becomes the disease in the progresson stage that does not react to alternative clearings and creates clots requiring higher priced drugs and appointments....good for a year maybe..

THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF GOOD HEALTH Renal sympathetic denervation is used to treat "resistant hypertension" that may be "essential hypertension" that cannot be identified. Essential hypertension (also called primary hypertension or idiopathic hypertension) is the form of hypertension that by definition has no identifiable cause. Renal sympathetic denervation conforms to the triad of Western medical practice: cut (surgery), poison (chemotherapy and prescription drugs) and burn (radiation therapy and cell-killing heat), and it ignores the ancient wisdom of creating conditions to allow the human body to heal itself. In order for lifestyle and nutrition programs to be effective for good health, the First Principle of Good Health and the one essential prerequisite is Discipline. Individuals who do not have self-discipline cannot succeed in achieving and maintaining good health. Many individuals intentionally, knowingly, willfully, voluntarily, freely (synonym overdose to cover all the cases) choose to pursue unhealthful activities and unhealthful substances, e.g., consuming caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, recreational drugs, toxic and poisonous foods such as refined sugar, refined salt, refined flour, as well as overeating, and poor nutrition that does not include all essential nutrients, minerals, enzymes and proteins (amino acids). In short, many individuals choose to be unhealthy.

[@tomsawyer8525]

I recently read that denervation of the kidneys was not a long term solution. Have you seen it? If so are you still recomending the nerve denervation if you have seen it. I have had high blood pressure since my early 20's . Diastolic is in triple digits despite being vegan , excercise regularly , low fat diet , low salt , virtually no sugar or salt. Systolic is well over 200. Total cholesteral is under 100 taken three years ago. I refuse to take the latest meds my doc prescribed because of foul flatulence as a side affect. Every doctor I have been too I have told them to find the reason for my BP but none seem willing to do anything but offer meds .I am not taking them. I feel fine and have no problem excercising including walking hills and biking. In the US I wonder if this is even available at request.

There are other electrolyte minerals besides magnesium. You might need more sodium and potassium. You want twice as much potassium in your daily intake as sodium. About 4700 mg of potassium from foods and supplements daily.

[@drgoldhealthcare]

I have never failed to normalise the BP in hundreds of patients without any medications in few weeks time.... Yet to see a resistance towards normalisation. Renal denervation is just looking like a child's play crashing the normal compensatory mechanism paralyzing the kidney. Just like what other medications work. Its not just about the numbers in BP but the crux lies in understanding the holism.... sir

Hi I am a 61 year old female My blood pressure is high first thing in the morning But if I take 3 consecutive reading the reading reduce e.g first reading 180/105, then 162/98 and 148/87 as an example My doctor prescribed Losartan 12.5 mg and i took it every day for 3 months but no difference My BP is always high when I wake up But normal during the day and really good after excercisong like 110/76 But towards the end of the day it goes up again to high levels My questions why the BP meter shows such variation for 3 consecutive reading Why the reading is high starting late evening The only advice i get from my doctor is to increase Losartan dosage I understand exercise is over all beneficial and happy to keep it up But I am worried i am sleeping and waking up with high BP I am not getting any clues or explanation for my BP levels other than just saying i have hypertension Any advice is really appreciated I am sure there are many others who could also benefit from a better understanding Thank you so much Nimmy
