Doing these four things will definitely help you reclaim your health the natural way. No good popping pills all your life if you can help it. Monitoring your pressure at home is a great idea and you can easily do this with a digital blood pressure monitor. After a week, you can measure it twice a month or do as your doctor says. If you have been diagnosed with High BP (140x90 or higher), monitor your blood pressure twice a day for a week once in the morning before you take your medication and once in the evening. If you are borderline, i.e., systolic between 120-139 and diastolic between 80-89, the recommendation is to check it at least once a year.


I would recommend checking it every 6 months. How frequently should you measure your blood pressure?ĭoctors recommend that if your blood pressure is normal (120/80), get it checked at least every 2 years. It can even lead to a stroke or sudden cardiac arrest.Īre there symptoms that you should watch out for? But being in that state continuously or for long periods of time is harmful. Simply going through the day or just thinking of the work that needs to get done is enough to set our heart pumping. I agree that sometimes there’s no good excuse for our blood pressure rising. He put me on 2 molecules (two types of pills) and that was that. My Blood pressure (BP) was at 160/110 and the doctor wasn’t amused. Like in my case, I was always stressed and anxious but I was diagnosed only years later when my wife forced me to go for a random checkup. You probably won’t realize you have it until it literally knocks you over the head. What makes hypertension dangerous is that it evolves over many years, often without any indication of symptoms. I chose this because it’s quite common nowadays the silent killer that kills more than 8 million people a year.

The last thing I’ll want is for your blood pressure to rise after reading one of my posts. I will do my best to present all of this information in as light-hearted (not frivolous) a manner as I can and in byte-sized chunks that will be more like a quick 5 minute read. I’ve made a note of these after speaking with my doctors, other people in the medical field, and knowledgeable lifestyle gurus who have cured people the natural way. My posts will also include home remedies that you can cook up easily or do at home. I’m not going to get too technical with describing the disease and the symptoms you will probably find a thousand articles on the internet but I will highlight the important ones just so that you know what to look out for. I’m starting this series of posts to highlight the importance of managing other major illnesses that seem to have fallen off the radar after the pandemic struck. It’s been a while since we spoke and I hope all’s well with you.
