I am 34 years old and only had hypertension after I gave birth to my son Benn. I am on medication now but there are times when my blood pressure shoots up. Maybe you guys have any idea how to lower it naturally and fast!

There are a number of herbal and homeopathic remedies that are well known for their ability to control high blood pressure with great success. Unlike conventional medicines, which do not always address the root cause, natural remedies can do this without the risk of side effects or addiction.

In keeping with a holistic approach to health, Naturopaths recognize that high blood pressure may be a sign or symptom of imbalance in the body and thus recommend a combination of lifestyle changes and natural remedies to remove the causes of the high blood pressure, rather than simply just treating the symptoms.

Remember to always source your natural remedies from a reputable company in order to ensure safety, efficacy, and correct therapeutic dosage.

Do not make changes to your prescription medication without first consulting your doctor.

I’m a pretty heathy person. I’m going to be 19 in 2 days,Average weight,No hypertension that i know of runs through my family.
I have anxiety problems though. Lately my stress level has been really bad. I’m not gonna take up time and write about what has been going on,but i have had it pretty rough lately. Well yesterday a friend of mine came over. He shares with me the same problems with his family over and over. I keep giving him advice and he doesn’t listen,so i told him i’m sick of hearing his stuff when he won’t doing anything about it and how it has been stressing me out. Previously i had drank some tea called Yerba Mate. It’s like green tea but a little different. It has alot of caffeine in it,at the time i didn’t know this would mess with my stress.
I felt really sick all of the sudden,i thought i was gonna barf. At this time i was still talking to my friend. I got up to go to the kitchen,i lend in the sink and i felt so dizzy i couldn’t even Stand up right,I couldn’t see,everything seemed super blurry and my hearing sounded all fuzzy when my mom was trying to ask if i’m okay. I couldn’t talk,i fainted on the floor. I ended u regaining consciousness and my mom called the ambulance,i couldn’t breathe right and i could feel my heart beating really fast,my hands and feet started to curl up and my wholebody went numb. They took me to the ER and said my blood pressure was 165 over 104
Which in turn was high blood pressure. The doc said it sounded like i was having a panic attack,but it just came in the middle of no where! I know i have been stressed,but i felt fine. What can i do to prevent stress and panic attacks?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
Forgot to add,i don’t rly like taking meds,is there any herbal things you know of i can take or some remedies you know of at all? Let me know.
Thanks
The technique at the link can be pretty effective if you practice it. This is very similar to cognitive therapy that is used by some therapists. So, if the technique at the link helps, you might consider seeing a therapist that specializes in cognitive therapy.

I suffer from High blood pressure and high cholesterol what would be a good and safe workout in regards to weight machines and cardio machines. What should i push my heart rate too if my resting heart rate is 89 bpm. What percentage of my max should i lift?

Sorry you cannot do weight lifting, but you can do walking, even brisk, avoid fat, sugar, stimulants. and be stress free.

I can’t afford the doctor right now and am worried,so any information would be appreciated,thank you.

Low salt or salt free foods lower blood pressure. No anxiety occurs

I know that chemoreceptors regulate blood pressure by monitoring the levels of H, O2 and CO2 in the blood, but why and how do these chemicals effect blood pressure?

I know that if too much CO2 and H is found in the blood by chemoreceptors, the medula oblongata will cause vasodialation (or constriction if there is too little im guessing) along with a slower heart rate. But how and why do these chemicals effect the blood pressure?

Recent scientific research suggests that a problem of the inner lining of blood vessel walls, called the endothelium Singular layer of flat cells that lines the walls of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; inner lining of the tunica intima layer of blood vessels, may contribute to hypertension. Substances released from the endothelium can cause blood vessels to dilate or constrict. Some substances also promote or inhibit growth of the smooth muscle cells in the blood vessel wall.

Normally, the actions of these substances are held in balance. But in some people, the constriction chemicals may overpower the relaxation chemicals. Arteries narrow, and blood pressure goes up because it is more difficult for blood to circulate.

What foods do you have to consume to prevent low blood pressure? How do you know if you have low blood pressure? Which is worse low blood pressure or high blood pressure?

High blood pressure is definitely worse. There is really no danger associated with low blood pressure, as long as it is not too low.
To prevent or treat low blood pressure, you should drink at least 8 bottles of water a day, and eat as much salt as possible in your foods.
If you feel like you are going to pass out when you stand you or sit up after lying down, or you notice that your heart rate increases a lot after changing your position from sitting or standing, these could be signs of low blood pressure.
If you think you might have low blood pressure, you should go to your doctor to check it out.

I would like to know what is the average or normal blood pressure in the morning, noon and evening.

its all diferent depending on your day. but 120 over 60 is a good one for a young person…
