I had high BP (around 140/100) for more than 5 years, doctors were telling I will have to take medication for the rest of my life. But I started running and exercising consistently, got my BMI to ~23 and BP stabilized at 120/85 . Sometime it goes up if there is too much stress at work and I skip exercise... So I think those things were related. Bottom line - if you have high BP definitely try exercising at least a few times a week consistently

[@thaloh]

Another thing is exercise does not have to be limited to the gym. Long walks, hiking, stairclimbing, even doing a lot of chores contributes

[@happilysmpl]

My Mother had detected BP in her early 40s. She exercised, lost weight, changed to a positive jubilant attitude and her BP stabilized. But she continues to take medicine. Her dose is adjusted but once a person has BP it can shoot anytime so it's Imp not to stop the meds. This is what she explained to me. She is 74 now. We were struggling middle class back when I was a kid but still never cut corners with medicine. I have been detected with it as well due to another medical condition my BP went up. Then it came down. My dose has been reduced to half. Although it was a one time thing I will now be taking it forever 😢 My Mom told me the same. She said whatever you do don't stop the medicine.

Try getting rids of the underlying root cause “insulin resistance” and your mum should see improvement instantly. There are many ways to improve insulin resistance 1) ketogenic or LCHF diet 2) intermittent fasting 3) avoiding carbs/sugars/fructose/vegetable oils (including natural sugars) 4) any dietary approach with less than 20g/day will reduce insulin resistance and thus reduce blood pressure (also reverse diabetes & prevent cardiovascular diseases/gouts/dementia)

[@MissBlackMetal]

Thanks to your channel I’ve learned so much about how the body works. I’ve lost over 30lbs within a year, dropped my BP from the 130s/86 to constantly in the range of 114/70. I exercise daily, I walk 10k steps daily. I fast everyday with a 18hr off and 6hr eating window. I do a 24hr fast twice a week and I meditate daily. I eat mostly whole foods with a nice sweet snack 2x a week. Your channel information should be taught at every level of education. The more we understand how the body works the better care we can take of it.

[@cnervip]

congratz on your weight loss, It took me 3 year to lose ~80lbs but with de opposite approach, meaning eating every 3 to 4 hours small portions and no exercise only stretches, but I can say than lowering your salt intake is big win against high bp we (my family) reduced our salt intake to almost nothing because my father had hypertension, even tho he passed away almost 10 years ago we keep the salt to the same almost nothin levels just because (I feel every food salty if not what me or my mom cook). btw I've not gained weight in 12 years hope you keep your losses, health and new good habits for the rest of you time on this world

[@hamsterama]

I weight 40 pounds too much. Earlier this year, in March, I finally joined a gym. I go three times a week. I am fortunate that the gym is only 1/2 mile from my house, so I just walk there. Only recently, my appetite has really begun to drop, and I am beginning to lose weight as a result. I don't fast or anything like that. Before this point, I had no "off switch" when it came to eating. I overate, because the fullness signal never came. All I want to say is, for anyone who just started working out, be patient! Stick with it, it's not a waste of time! You won't feel the benefits in just a few weeks. It takes many months to undo years of sedentary behavior and a bad diet.

For some people, reducing salt can increase blood pressure. I'm one of those people. Low sodium was resulting in dehydration, which means low blood volume. To compensate, my body was releasing adrenaline, which further increased my BP but helped redirect the limited blood to my critical organs. The annoying part is none of this showed on my blood labs because my body is really good at maintaining homeostasis.

It's alarming how doctors, pharma companies and opinions can make people believe that they need to stay on medication to be normal. How did we survive for so long before medications? We had to do a lot of physical activity and eat right before technology and highly processed, sugary/salty foods. Outside of conditions that we put on ourselves like cirrhosis that people can cause themselves which then actually do require medication for transplants and other things, generally we do NOT need medications to survive like blood pressure medication. We need to be active and healthy through our diets. Crazy how much pharma companies make by putting millions of people on expensive medications.

Lucky. I'm 37 and changed my diet a lot as well a few years ago. Removed soda and fast food, started exercising and almost exclusively eat home cooked foods.

Nasal breath out holds, very slow pauses. Get a pulse ox meter on amazon 20$, see what your blood ox saturation in. See if you can lower it a little with a slight breath out then hold/pause.

I wish there was more information available about low blood pressure. Even immediately after being active, while standing up, my blood pressure is 108-110 at most, and it gets much much lower. Seldom, around every 6 months, I experience this "near-fainting", everything slowly defeans, my vision slowly fades away, blood seems to completely get sucked out of my face, I start feeling weaker until the point of having to lay/sit on the ground. I've contacted a lot of specialists, phlebologist said everything was fine, cardiologist told me everything is perfectly fine with my heart so even a tiny arrhythmia couldn't even be it.

[@acmeallpurpose4974]

It's called Syncope. My husband has it. He also has TBI so when he passes out he hits his head and has a seizure. The last time he passed out from Syncope he broke his face. So it's not a joke. Aside from medication, which he refuses to take he adds mineral salt to his diet (per doctor instructions). Every change in position has to be a transition. Laying to sitting. Sitting to Standing. Bending over to upright. He has to pause. Wait before moving again. There have been times we lifted his feet in the air to get the blood back to his heart and brain if it was really low. Good luck!

[@MissBlackMetal]

@ OP: Oh hey I get that too!!! Like, word for word exactly what you described!!! It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, I have to take a minute and just stand still, or crouch down to the ground if it's really bad. Lately (the past year) it's gotten worse, and I've had to sit on the ground for a few minutes. I also got what I can only assume was vertigo along with it, which I'd never experienced before, and that was twice about half a year ago. The vertigo felt like I was being pulled down to one side (my right side) while I was walking. It was bizarre as hell. Hasn't happened since, but the stuff you described (near-fainting, tunnel vision, ears going "deaf") has happened several times since then. I've always wondered what it was, but it's never been so serious that I felt I needed to mention it to my doctor. And I always doubted they'd know what it is anyway -- and now I'm even more skeptical they'd be able to help, since you've been to so many specialists about the exact same thing! Edit: Actually, now that I really think about it, I think it actually happens kinda often... like once a month, perhaps even more? That seems kind of frequent. :/ I've just grown so used to it happening that I forget an episode even occured. I think I'll try keeping track of every time it happens, so at least I have some idea of how serious this might be. Still, if specialists can't figure out what it even is for you, then I doubt they would for me.

I am a 65 year old man and I am not on blood pressure or any other medication. I am in perfect health. I have been monitoring my BP almost daily for the last 4 years. My pressure can vary widely depending on what I eat, how much I sleep, my emotional stress level, and my general physical health. When everything is optimum my BP can be at 107/69. When my hand was bitten by my sister's dog, my BP went up to 155/95, taken at a hospital. It took 2 weeks for it to gradually go down to 122/75. Just an upset tummy could raise my BP for a few days. My point is that, getting a few readings of BP is premature in determining if someone has a BP problem or not. On another matter, I am suspicious of any guidelines that say that anything higher than 120/80 is too high because recommended guidelines are usually based on clinical research financed by the pharmaceutical companies. I see a clear conflict of interest here. My advice is purchase a good BP monitor. Eat sensibly with an equal amount of unprocessed meat, vegetables, fruit and carbohydrates. Get some pointers on healthy food from good KZbin programs and stick to a diet that keeps your BP lower than 130/85. This is for people who are not on any pressure medication like me.

We go to these lengths to relax and calm ourselves before taking your BP, but that doesn’t tell you our true, normal BP… it tells you how low I can get it. Think about it… as soon as a caregiver takes a pressure I stand up and walk away, causing my BP to go UP…? Wouldn’t it be more useful to know how high it goes rather than how low I can get it by sitting, relaxing, not needing to urinate, not even talking…? 🤔 Help me understand this guys

[@SeuOu]

Spikes in blood pressure are much less threatening than sustained pressure, that's one. There was an interesting study on weightlifters doing heavy compound lifts where their BP doubled or even tripled during peak exertion...and they were all just fine after. The vascular system is designed to handle temporary spikes. The other is that most of the clinical literature is based on resting BP, that's why your resting BP is the value that's most clinically significant to your doctor. Now, there's definitely clinical value in knowing how your blood pressure and heart rate change during controlled exertion...that's pretty much the whole premise behind heart stress tests. So, I think it's fair to say that both resting and active BP are important, but I think it's mostly that at a typical PCP visit, all they're really set up to monitor is resting BP.

[@arha-z1v]

resting blood pressure is 1) isolating all other variables (your pressure could vary wildly depending on prior exertion) and 2) most relevant to your general long term health

Hello and thanks for doing all the great videos on this channel- one of my favorites. I’m glad you showed the image of how to proper measurements, many of which are never done in the rush to speed patients through. Let me add a very important one which is never done in an office that was used in the gathering of data to come up with the “good numbers” for BP and that is the patient should be allowed to sit quietly alone in a darkened room to relax for 5-10 minutes before taking readings. I’ve never been asked if I feel cold or need to go to the bathroom which are also indicated as necessary questions to be asked which can alter readings and I can’t believe that I’ve had doctors office personnel taking my BP over a thick sweatshirt wearing a flannel shirt under it and they said it wouldn’t effect the reading. If any doctor wants to prescribe you BP meds I would always request having a 24 hr BP test done to tell what is actually happening. Also, this is a question of interest- The BP numbers used as “Normal “ are based on a sedentary relaxed non -active state. Yet we are told to be in an active non sedentary state to be healthy (even when not specifically exercising, don’t be a couch potato) which will normally have you with elevated BP maybe 130 over 90. It would be interesting to see what the average daily blood pressure of people throughout the world that don’t live our sedentary based lifestyles have for average blood pressure during the day. Shouldn’t doctors offices, when they test BP have two tests? One while in sedentary state and one in a measured active state (maybe like walking a certain length of time on a treadmill etc. ) and measuring the difference between them? Big rise, small rise? I think it’s something to think about at least to better understand how the heart and vascular efficiency are under different conditions. Thanks again for the great videos.

I lowered my blood naturally by changing my diet to plant based and exercising 5 - 7 days a week. My doctor threatened to put me on hypertension medication 6 years ago due to my bp being 150/72 and I was not having that. So I researched natural remedies and found out it was my SAD diet. I lost 66 pounds and now my bp stays at 100/65 constantly. It’s the food that’s causing hypertension 95% of the time.

As someone who’s been diagnosed with stage 1 hypertension, I can’t stress enough the importance of regular exercise. But there’s a specific type of exercise that you need to focus on. I spent three months doing HIIT strength and HIIT cardio (yes, it was intense!), but I didn’t see any improvement in my blood pressure. It wasn’t until I started running that I started noticing effects almost immediately. Jogging or running is the best way to improve your blood pressure.

I have to write this because it is recent experience and it is relevant to anyone struggling with high blood pressure. Been having elevated BP for years although maintaining a relatively healthy lifestyle. an average of 135/92 was my norm. After a visit to cardio doctor, got scared and started applying all the lifestyle changes: Low salt, low saturated fat, low processed foods, Good sleep (was doing that properly before), Exercise (was doing before), and monitoring tension throughout the day. After about 10 days of this, my BP went lower 20 points - so was regularly getting values in the 115/78 ranges. So, this is amazing - before the changes I would have had to go on medication - after the changes, BP was optimal. This works folks, the diet thing really works for BP, for me at least. I hope it helps someone and that people try this out more consistently. (I'm not selling anything just a Joe on the webs)

Great video! Another point for reducing hypertension is to not consume food before bedtime. I found out from personal experience, as well there are studies that have linked consuming food before bedtime directly to increased blood pressure and hypertension. I would guess that many people with chronic hypertension consume food prior to nodding off for the night. A good rule of thumb is to stop eating 3-4hours before going to bed. Roughly 7pm for many individuals

[@brentwilbur]

Something interesting I learned about blood pressure is that it obeys Bernoulli's principle. Normally, you would think of Bernoulli's principle as being associated with airflow over a moving wing. Conceptually, it governs the relationship between the velocity of a fluid and its pressure, which also applies to blood flow. If your heart beats really fast, your blood pressure will not rise linearly with heart rate. If your heart beats slowly, like in a trained athlete, it can raise your resting blood pressure. So if you are athletic, don't freak out if your blood pressure seems higher than average while you are resting.

[@HITESH-ki8hv]

Blood pressure from 190/110 reduced to 130/90 by exercise, zero salt intake or minimum in home made food, we still get sodium from lot of food items, good sleep, Meditation and Vegetarian diet with Salad, No junk food. It took 5 years to reduce blood pressure. Running daily up to 10 kms at least thrice a week. This helped to reduce blood pressure. Although doctors advised to walk but running Marathon up to 10kms which became passion later on. I seriously think changing life style is very very Important. Reduce Medication slowly.

I was overweight that time (92kg, 180cm) and started exercising regularly. In 4 months I took my weight to 78kg. Upon another checkup with my family physician, my bp was stable 125/80 mmHg and it remained the same even after stopping the medication. My doc told me to discontinue the medication.

@@frapperaveclaphalangedumajeur yes, when I was with high bp and walk the stairs could always feel my heartbeat in my ears, I think is because 1 blood flow is more turbulent due to pressure and 2 your veins are collapsing more and more forcefully before expanding also if you have high bp and you excederse lift some wight or strain yourself the now high heartbeat is more noticeable due to the high bp -- take with a pinch of salt(no pun intended) but I used to have headaches when my bp when high and some father of a friend teach me that if you fill you bathroom sink with cold water, sit there with your arms up to the elbow for 10-15 minutes this could relieve the pulsating veins sensations or headaches, it always worked for me but you should only use after talking with your doctor

My body metrics get better on fasting and ketogenic diet. Every time I eat carbs (for example whole grain oatmeal with nuts and chia seeds, healthy right?) not only my pressure goes through the roof, my metrics and mood drop fast for a couple of days. These metrics are observing sleep quality and pattern and the data that smart watches show, like Garmin Body Battery and HRV status. I can also have minimal physical activity when I avoid carbs altogether, while the opposite is true. My metrics only get better when I do exercise if I eat carbs. Exercise becomes a must on carbs. As if carbohydrates are only and only for those who move and exercise, unlike my office job.

Cardio is essential to lowering. I was a weightlifter who is super lean and in great shape while still being pretty light 150lbs at 5'11.

[@dlg5485]

Weight lifting actually can serve as an effective form of cardio. You can achieve this by lifting less weight and more reps until total failure. High rep body weight exercises (squats, leg lifts, etc) also really improve vascular health. I push out reps until absolute failure and I reach about 90% of my max HR, then I rest until it drops back down to 50-60% of max, then do the next set, resting between each set. Varying the HR like this is the key to strengthening the vascular system. I've been working out this way for years, just 3 days per week - full body, and I am in excellent health. I don't do any traditional cardio (such as running) and my BP avg is 105/70, resting HR is low 60s and my coronary artery calcium score is zero. I'm 55 and have no chronic health issues at all.

I don't think I'll ever have high BP thanks to an early in life stroke caused by a PFO. The meds are amazing ;) but the doctors are incredible!! Thank u to all medical professionals xx
