Would you keep your patients on bp meds if their lifestyle changed like eating clean and lost over 80lbs.. pressure. My pressure is below 120/80 it never gets that high it’s normal all the time. The meds makes it drop low then i get lightheaded. I walk 15 miles a day. I think i need to come off meds because it stay a lil low.it’s normal always. My practitioner. Don’t want to stop the meds but it lower it when i take it. Because its pretty low already. Like 93/63 82/52 101/60.. when i take the meds im lightheaded or very tired or miserable. It use to be high but it never over 120/ 80. These are the reading i normally gets. My practitioner is pretty young i feel like she don’t really know a lot.

Having been a vascular ultrasound tech. I would strongly advise taking blood pressure from both arms at least when you first start seeing a patient.

I've had high blood pressure and very high potassium for a few years now, I have to soak my vegetables for hours before boiling them in tons of water, this leaches out the potassium, I have to avoid veggies I really like such as avocado, beetroot etc and I can never eat beans, dates, dried fruits etc because of the very high potassium. I came across this video and got hooked on this presentation and then bang, right at the end Dr Baron mentions the connection between ACE inhibitors and high potassium. This is truly remarkable, the connection has never been made by different doctors I've seen over the years. Of course this does not necessarily mean my BP drugs are the cause of my high potassium but it's certainly a high possibility, one which I will look into. Perhaps I'll ask to swap my BP drugs for another one and see if my potassium goes down. Very interesting presentation and thank you Dr Baron.

[@lynncoffin180]

I'm CKD too and potassium is way too high, however I've repeatedly refused to take the B/P meds my Dr. prescribed. I still have too high potassium because my kidneys are damaged & not able to flush out excess potassium. It's kidney damage that causes high potassium & phosphates, not the meds for high b/p. I wish it was that simple. Yes, I've given up my favorite Avocados & lots of other foods I love.

Changing to a macrobiotic/vegan/raw vegan/fruitarian diet, I have reduced my blood pressure to normal range of 120/80. No more than 1000mg of sodium daily. I’m an 59 and take no medications. My parents took high blood pressure medications for 40 years. They ate the Standard American Diet and were not overweight. My father smoked 1 cigarette a day after dinner. My mother did not smoke. I was a caregiver to them until their deaths. I decided to CHANGE my diet rather than face decades of medication.

[@sportysbusiness]

I tried the diet you're on for 2 years and ended up with brain fog, no energy, high blood pressure and dental issues. I changed to a wild meat low carb, high fat carnivore diet, eliminated my gum disease and reduced my blood pressure from 170/95 to 115/75. I eat plenty of salt and I feel amazing. Sharp mental focus, plenty of energy, I'm never hungry so only eat 1 or 2 meals a day and I find it really easy to stay lean. We're all different.

[@rozchristopherson648]

Sportys Business I was a caregiver to parents and a grandmother for 20 years. Both my parents and my grandparents on both sides suffered from high blood pressure. All of them died from some form of heart disease (strokes, heart attacks, valve replacement). One grandfather passed from emphysema. All, except one grandfather and one great-grandfather who died in their 50s, took high blood pressure medications from about age 40. None of them were overweight. My father smoked one cigarette a day after dinner. They lived to ages 78-92, debilitated by heart disease and medications. They all had one thing in common. The Standard American Diet. Animal products at every meal. Eventually, eating animal products will catch up with you. I’m 59 and stopped 5 years ago consuming animal flesh. Then gave up dairy. You sound like you are younger than I am. You may “feel” better now. But if you continue to consume animal products, which have a cumulative effect, you will eventually have some illnesses that are the direct or indirect result of consuming animal products. You will inevitable end up taking prescriptions for these illnesses and maybe even need bypass surgery, etc. Trust me, it’s not worth it. By the time you see the full effects of consuming animal products, it will be too late for dietary changes to have much of an impact. There are ways to eat a vegan diet and still be healthy, have energy, etc. Think of the long term consequences of a carnivore diet. It won’t be good for you as time goes on.

Drop in physical fitness, food intake, wrong diet led to High Blood Pressure. Since then I’ve been diagnosed with DM along with many other disabilities due to my service in the Marine Corps. Which was over 21 years. I’ve now been doing the things that I think is helping me. Losing weight, eating right, no fast foods, the right carbohydrates, sodium, protein, fiber and reduced sugar levels. Over the past two years I’ve lost 20 pounds to my current weight of 176-177. But I’m still concerned. But thanks for letting us know what to do.

Great presentation! From my experience the measuring of blood pressure at doctors offices are not done correctly. When I took my mother to her doctor's office, she would be nervous about her weight and other things, and the first thing the nurse would do is stand her on the scale and take her blood pressure. After doing the normal procedures I asked the nurse to let my mother sit for a few moments and breathe slowly and take her blood pressure again. It was significantly lower. Definitely, the procedures should be changed at doctors offices. The very highest and best to all.

@@benjaminjr6322 It depends say for example if some has tennis elbow that will be inflammation of the elbow joint there will be a bottle neck because of the injury and the blood pressure will ride due to the heart beating faster ,the brain receives the signal that there is an injury on the elbow and that triggers the heart to pump blood as a result high blood pressure registers on the pressure gauge that's how our bodies react, that's with most injuries, so in this case cooling the area of injuries a cold compression is recommended eg ice pack ,use of fenbid jell antiinflamatory medicine is used a strong pain killer and a tubular dressing should ease the pain ,bone injuries can be fatal, bone rubbing on bone is just as fatal xrays or MRI results will show clear signs of the injuries all this will show on the blood pressure monitor. Injuries to the knees also rises the blood pressure and that will trigger the heart to pump blood faster to the area .Blood thining medication like aspirin or ibuprofen is used that will make the blood flow better as blood has red cells and white cells, when the area is injured there appears to be traffic jam of cells that's when pain increases, sometimes surgery is indicated.

I have been on BP meds since i had a heart attack back in 1994. I have recently added a new Cardiologist who asked me to start tracking my BP at home using my own Omron monitor which takes my BP three successive times and gives me the average of the three. I have taken the log of my results to my Cardio but he never seems to be overly concerned about the numbers or pay much attention to them. I never knew i should do my test in the morning before i take my meds! I always test it in AM but i take my BP meds BEFORE I test myself. I will change that now but im aggravated about it because i do have heart disease and also type 2 diabetes and always worry about my BP as i age...now 81.After 15 years of daily blood sugar testing I'm going to stop that and just do my A1c which is currently 6.4% with 2 500mG of Metformin daily. Excellent video. Thank you.

[@gunlokman]

Great video! As an engineer, I take issue with the present measurement of blood-pressure anyway. It is well known in hydraulics that if the flow in a circulation (pump-driven) pipe system is restricted in any way - the pressure goes up. This effect can be readily seen if one restricts a running garden-hose for example by pinching the pipe - the pressure rises and the water jet goes further. The human circulation system works in a very similar way. If the flow is restricted (by squeezing under the wrap-around cuff for example) - the pressure in the flow goes up! Come on guys - it's just like the old accepted practice of putting grease on burns! A high blood-pressure measured in this way merely demonstrates how good the pump (your heart) is - not how bad your system is!

[@RepentfollowJesus]

Well if arteries are clogged it would lessen the flow too making the pressure higher.

[@MrTweetyhack]

so how would you measure BP?

[@brianryan4053]

You are right! Cause of high blood pressure in the most cases - problems with renin angiotensin system. I have perfect heart and high blood pressure all my life, which is perfectly corrected with angiotensin inhibitor medication

I was diagnosed with hypertension in 2007. I survived two strikes: one in 2012 and recently in 2020. I know I'm blessed to still be alive but I still struggle with my blood pressure going up and down when measured by my doctor. I still don't fully understand that but oh well. The crazy thing is that I take two blood pressure meds and a med to stop blood clots. I don't know how helpful those blood pressure meds work because I kept my BP low the first three and half years and all of sudden, Boom. My body had adapted to the two BP meds. It stayed high for eight years until I had this recent stroke possibly due to a blood clot. Although my BP is still higher than what the doctor wants it to be, they said I should feel better due to my blood levels staying at a much safer level..

Dee: I fully agree with what you say. His lecture was great. It is ridiculous and unhealthy to try to keep everyone at such low numbers. I never listen to doctors when they are spouting nonsense or urging me to take a lot of medications that make me feel ill and that have questionable results. For example, I thought hormone replaement therapy was dangerous and I was proven right about that. I feel statins are dangerous, and I have been proven correct about that. Trying to reduce blood pressure to extremely low levels in an older person through many medications is also counterintuitive. I know that drug companies want to make more money by making more people dependent on drugs they don't really need. People have to engage in critical thinking and not blimdly follow what someone tells them to do. This video gives us information to help us do that.

But my point here is that these people calling Baron a shill are mistaken, because it's impossible he doesn't know about Lustig's work (given he's had Lustig in as a guest lecturer for his classes). And therefore, it's a good bet he understands the metabolic processes that drive insulin / leptin resistance, and therefore maybe he has something meaningful to say about hypertension here.

If it is all over the place but at home, you're still low, don't worry about it. You're body is doing what is supposed to do. If it is high: -Stop eating all processed foods. Restaurant food is right up there. -Check your diet and fat intake such as high omega 6 oils. -Evaluate refined sugar/HFCS intake -Stress levels at work and home -Quality of sleep -Amount of exercise both resistance and cardio -natural blood thinners of water, vitamin C -removal of table salt from the diet and use Himalayan, Sea or Celtic salts.
