this reminds me of the time when I was in my 40’s…. wanted to buy life insurance. They said that I need to come to their clinic so that they can check my vital signs. That afternoon, I got stuck in traffic so long then struggled to find the place and parking, ran into the clinic since late…. blood pressure was almost 173…. of course fail no life insurance test so bad 😂😂😂😂. My normal good pressures mostly very good.

I ran/jogged at least 15 km per week for years (3 runs), bicycle everywhere, have a huge garden etc etc. I was always considered the most active 60+ woman known to mankind. I don’t eat salty food, I don’t eat ANY fast food, drink no more than 1 glass of wine per day, I eat little meat, lots of fish, lots of fruit & veggies (much from my garden), have a normal weight, never smoked - and my blood pressure was too high for years as was my cholesterol. Then I had a small stroke last year, I was SO fortunate because I have no lasting effects. Oh and I have a blissful life, happy marriage etc. no stress. So now I’m on blood thinners, cholesterol and blood pressure medication. My only consolation was the doctor who said “if you didn’t have this fabulous life style, this would have happened to you years ago and would probably have been worse. But just to recognize that it’s not always life style, there are people who are genetically predisposed - me!

My grandpa drank 2 to 3 beers almost every day of his life, starting at about the age of 16. Was thin all of his life, never had hbp or diabetes and lived to be 93. Yes, he did smoke ciggies (light to moderate) until his 60's, but then gave them up on the advice of his doctor. A couple of things I remember vividly about gramps was --- he was always active, right into his 80's, bowling, golfing, fishing, doing things around the house, he was always up and moving. No. 2: He ate a lot of garlic, often raw but cooked into meals that grandma would make. He used to eat a lot of canned fish items like mackerel, sardines, tuna, kippers, often just for snacks. For a snack, he would have a tin of sardines and a shot of cold vodka from the fridge, one of his favorites. Ate lots of cabbage and kraut. He loved clams -- steamed or raw. When younger, he would go fishing (jersey shore), blues, flounder, whiting, etc... then go home clean, cook and eat his catch, usually fried in a cast iron pan with LOTS of butter. We always said he would've hit 100 if he didn't smoke all those years. I think because he was always active and eating things like garlic, eggs, kraut and fish regularly, the alcohol didn't have the impact as say, some in their senior years who didn't move around much, no exercise, and eating a bad diet including sugar and snacks. Grandma lived to be 97, btw. That's my 0.02cents, but I think there's something to it.

If you are using the at-home kits (e.g. Omron, etc), I have found that the first reading is always significantly higher. I just make a note to discard that reading. I record the average of 2 additional readings... each spaced by at least 3-5 min. New guidelines (AHA website) recommends diet and lifestyle modification for 120-139. 140-179 is classified as hypertension stage 2, but even then, unless there are serious co-morbidities, the recommendation remains diet and lifestyle modification first, before medication. The readings should be sustained or trending upward over a long period before medication is initiated. 180 or higher is a hypertensive crisis.

How often should BP be checked at home? Without checking it constantly which may not be accurate or potentially stress a person out because of worry over the numbers. Thanks. Love your videos!

1. The video discusses ways to lower blood pressure and emphasizes the importance of addressing lifestyle factors at home. 2. The cardiologist explains that high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death, often being a silent condition. 3. The ideal blood pressure is considered to be around 120 over 80, with lifestyle changes recommended to achieve and maintain this target. 4. Lifestyle modifications include regular exercise (at least 150 minutes of vigorous exercise per week), reducing salt intake, following the DASH diet (rich in fruits, vegetables, seeds, and limited meat), moderate alcohol consumption, and maintaining a healthy BMI. 5. Additional factors such as mindfulness, good sleep hygiene, and the potential benefits of owning a dog are discussed as ways to lower blood pressure.

I had been on bp meds since i was 16. After 40 years of various meds, i began a keto diet. Three months later i realized my bp was low. So i discontinued taking the meds. I religiously took my bp 3 times a day. 5 years now on keto, no meds, great bp. By the way; I do nothing to restrict salt, and in fact add salt to every meal. Additionally, 40 years of eczema gone. Night blindness gone. Achy joints gone. Turns out insulin is inflammatory. Reduce insulin and insulin resistance and many ailments tend to disappear.

Concise, evidence based and practical advice from docs, thanks. Questions: Which of the lifestyle changes lower BP the most? Excess stress, like high BP is bad for our health, what is the stress measure (?) not to exceed? Has stress levels been correlated with BP readings (can I tell when I am stressed by my BP)? My White coat measurements have been high all my life = going to doctors is stressful? Yet watching your videos is not stressful as BP was 120/80, at doctors goes to 155/90+ despite BP medicines treatment.

I have recently been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and am currently on meds to help control them. My BP has spiked quite high this evening: 200/111 which is NOT good AT ALL but I have had a very stressful day today and continue to be in fight or flight mode with the body. I'm overweight for my height at the moment and am doing some dietary changes and also doing a 5K tomorrow morning, which I'll bet will help with my BP being lowered tomorrow. My doc says if I have: chest pains, shortness of breath or bad headache to head to the ER immediately as these are danger signs of heart attack or stroke. I don't wish for that to happen so I'm going to relax as much as possible this evening and recheck BP in the morning about an hour or so after my meds.

My BP was normal to slightly lower for 53 years. 4 weeks post JJ cov vax I was taken to ER after passing out with 215/110. My immune system was attacking every part of my body. I knew it was from cov vax and when I went to cardiologist he said to watch my salt intake. At the ER my ecg also showed anterior infarction however records hushed about relation to vaccine. 1 year post BP finally back to normal although my health has been destroyed by autoimmune phenomenon. Elephant in the room is only now starting to be discussed.

I love your youtube video's as they are always so informative and lighthearted about serious issues. I am nearly 60 years of age and I have had issues with high blood pressure since I was 50. I have done regular exercise my whole life (cycle ride and race my road bike, mountain bike occasionally, ski, do pilates, hiking to name a few). The only time I don't exercise is if I am unwell. I changed my diet at age 50 to eat way more plant based, reduced alcohol (I now barely drink any alcohol) coffee, sugar etc. I am also well within a healthy weight range. For a while my blood pressure came down but as I have got older it slowly crept up again. I have had to resort to medication in the last few years as nothing I was doing was helping even though I tried so hard to bring it down without medication. I was very frustrated that I could not bring it down by making life style changes. I take my blood pressure regularly at home which gives me peace of mind as I did get a lot of anxiety when my blood pressure was taken by a doctor. I maintain all the life style changes I made 9 years ago and now take medication as well. My blood pressure is low and stable for which I am very grateful. I'd love a video on the pro's and con's of medication. Thank you.

A very informative video with so many questions answered! I have figured out how to lower my blood pressure! My blood pressure has always been at it's highest when I'm in a doctor's office! I have severe white coat syndrome and every time they take my blood pressure, it's dangerously high. So the best way to keep it down is to not go to the doctor!😋 Even as a young adult my blood pressure was high in the doctor's office. He had me take it at home and write it down and bring in the list the next visit. I also took in the machine I used at home. The doctor found it hard to believe my readings at home since it was a big difference. But when I brought my machine from home and checked the reading on it and on the office machine too, the readings were the same! I've never been a big salter. If anything, I salt less than most people. But that's the first thing they ask when they see my blood pressure and it's clearly not a factor for me. I haven't had alcohol for decades. Never cared much for it anyway (except in my 20's). There are many things that can be done to lower blood pressure and people need to find what works for them. When Dr Zalzal was talking about the grisly bear diet, I was wondering how he was going to work chicken wings in to it!😉 You've given us very good ways to lower blood pressure! And this is a good time to begin a lifestyle change for more than just a diet! I've been seeing my current doctor for about 5 years now. About a year ago I was in her office and my blood pressure was 106/62. So it took 4 years of seeing her to get my blood pressure at a good number in her office! And I have other doctors I've seen longer and my blood pressure is still high in theirs. But the doctors are actually believing me when I keep track of my reading at home. Thanks for sharing another great video!👍

I’m 65 and just found out my blood pressure was 180/95. I freaked OUT!! I had no idea. I eat healthy don’t salt my food and am at healthy weight so I ask myself how on earth did this happen. I teach 3, 4 and five-year-olds at a preschool for the last 10 years. And on the weekends I’ve been building a house with my boyfriend just him and I. I’m pretty sure that I am stressed to the max and it is now affecting my blood pressure and I have no idea how long this is been going on because I never get sick so therefore I never knew it was high. They put me on blood pressure medicine immediately, but that very day I started researching everything I could find about blood pressure and realize that. I need to work off the stress. Not work harder, but relax more and go walk it off or do exercise and breathing. I pray to God that it’s not too late. Sleep is also been a problem for me. I never feel like I’ve gotten a good nights sleep and I always wake up tired. I kept attributing it to just getting older but now I’m thinking it’s something else.
