And doctors as well. AKA drug pushers.

Correct. The truth is they have no idea what the best BP levels are. The systolic used to be when I was young 100 over your age. For a 77 year old 177 would have been good.

Yep, and this doctor is oblivious... or he is part of the shell game.

OK, DUH?

Ridiculous. 125/75 is excellent for your age!

You are doing excellent. Avoid those statins.

Statins are not a BP Med. It’s another money maker for Cholesterol

I totally agree with you, I'm 55 and my b/p was 130/65 and my doctor put me on meds, I took it for 2 days and hated it!! I ended up buying a b/p electronic machine and my average b/p is 115/65... I believe I had white coat syndrome. I can't believe she didn't give me a chance to eat better or lose a lil weight, why, because of the money, I am in the process of looking for a different doctor because it seems like they are constantly trying to give me meds for things I do not have, she even gave me an inhaler for copd when I went to the e.r a month before {because I was scared my heart was beating funny} and was given several tests and was told I didn't have copd or anything wrong with my heart....so why? To make more money by giving us more meds to take!!!

I haven't visited a doctor since 2010 (antibiotics, for a chest infection, when I was a smoker, and then I discovered that properly-prepared garlic was just as effective), and don't take any medications. I'm 70, my BP was 122/67 when I checked it the other day, and I have never had a cholesterol test. Those who fell for the tests when they were made available were drawn into the medical establishment's fear cycle, constantly worrying about their 'good' and 'bad' cholesterol levels, and easily persuaded to start taking statins. I take daily supplements, but the hero of them all, in my opinion, is the 600mg of magnesium I take. In her book 'The Magnesium Miracle', Dr Carolyn Dean explains why taking enough magnesium makes taking most pharmaceuticals unnecessary.

Ditto for me. I tried blood pressure med's but didn't like side effects. Guess I'll continue to have high blood pressure that may bother medical staff but not me, Its been relatively high 140/90 +- for most of my adult life. Am now in my 70's.

@@catfishkrohn840 I was in the army and at basic training, they were going to discharge me for having high blood pressure. The PTI Seargent went to the CO and said if you throw that guy out, you are throwing out the fastest guy over 3 km, over 5 km's, the guy who does more push-ups and chin-ups and sit-ups than anybody else here. We can't keep up with him. Whatever he has, he ain't sick. They let me stay.

@@catfishkrohn840 Catfish..My BP has been 155/90 for the last 35 years and I'm 76 now. Every time another doc would prescribe more than one BP med, my BP would go down to about 130/75. The result was I'd feel terrible and had symptoms of leg cramps, depression, low energy level and even feeling faint a few times. Once I was back to my normal one med, my BP returned to 155/90 with a 60 pulse beat and I was happy once again. I'd rather live 5 years feeling good than 10 years feeling bad with lower BP. We are all individuals. It's hard to standardize and put everybody into one category. For example, 98.6F is considered normal body Temp. My average all my life is 97.2F .

Same here. I took Hydrochlorothiazide for a while until BP was 120/70 then I became dehydrated and dizzy. I'm still very healthy @70 yrs BP is now 150/90.

we all have to die some time or other ,some go erlyer than others but we all die in the end.

Truth bomb 💣 💥🎯

Dr Suneel Dhand has a video on this site, saying much the same thing. Now there's a doctor who has got the measure of the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

No headaches? I mean everyone gets them sometimes but no issues with the hbp? Thank you for your comment.

Same here. My doctors over the years have said I would croak if I didn't take BP meds. Now at 75 I have outlived 4 of them that I know of.(never took the meds)

@@MicheleKaiser-io2dx nice.

That situation has metastasized.

I agree with you. I have not seen a FP document since before cv19

Honestly, Me too.

I hear ya! A age 74 my Dr. said I need angioplasty because my BP was too high. I entered the hospital, they prepped me for the procedure, and woke up in my bed the next morning & told to go home. I asked if any stints were inserted & they said, "None, you didn't need any!!!" Then they presented me with a $600 co-pay! I couldn't even find a port of entry where they did any procedure! I'll never trust another dr. again that wants to give me statins! Today, I just turned 85, I walk 2 miles a day (weather permitting) & I maintain my own yard. No arthritis! NO ONE believes I'm 85 because I've never been sick and I'm healthy. I feel high BP is just a method for the medical business to make money!

Thomas you are absolutely right they treat you as a Cash Cow. I am 84 years old going to 85 come January 2 and a great grandfather. I am a practitioner of Intermittent Fasting (16:8 hr portfolio); Wim Hof aka the Iceman Guided Method Breathing every day; eating a LCHF Diet and Whey and Creatine Protein plus vitamins B Complex and other minerals every day. My BP is 119/67 and Heart Rate is 58 bpm though without fear my LDL cholesterol is high. I do not believe in taking any medication not even Panadol. I believe in daily exercise and what Hippocrates the Father of Modern Medicine said "Let Food Be Your Medicine." That's it. Period!

Yes, I would believe them if they wouldn't have a pill to sale me!

Before taking a BP reading rest 5 to 10 minutes and you'll get a true reading of BP

@@brucelennon9224 Healthy fat is good for you as your body would much rather burn fat than useless carbs. My wife gave up sugar but still can't lose weight, I can't make her understand that refined carbs turn into sugar. I've heard if you want to be healthy only eat stuff made by God. Those heat and eat frozen burritos have list of junk a mile long. If your can't read the ingredients, don't eat it. Organic veggies and grass fed grass finished beef and chicken. I cook with Olive oil, Unrefined Unprocessed Coconut Oil and Avocado Oil. Avoid grains--they were healthy a hundred years ago but science has ruined them by removing the healthy stuff so they can sit on a shelf forever.

It’s the walking. I have high carb diet and walking lowered it.

​@@maryshank7825 That may not be the reason, or maybe it would be even better if you combined them.

Yeah in the last few months I've been gradually cutting carbs. I may go carnivore or maybe low carb. I know a lot of my health issues were from grains and carbs in general. I'm having trouble holding my body weight which i don't like with this MAJOR carb reduction. I know most people want to lose weight, but i want to maintain my weight but lose fat at the same time. It's hard to not lose weight (for me) in a carb reduced diet lol. YMMV though

I have know many fit people who had heartaches. Fitness isn't health but health enables fitness. As Moseley said it needs a marathon to burn a donut. Carbs become sugar and if you weigh how much sugar that's hiding, it's shocking. If you wouldn't eat half a cup of sugar you shouldn't eat half a cup of rice.

You have found the secret to good health. Carbs are basically toxic.

Yeas, kinda stupid to medicate someone for what MIGHT BECOME AN ISSUE someday.

What you experienced was what some call "white coat syndrome" and I'm surprised that the doctor had not heard of it or recognized what was happening.

Plant based will eventually wreck your health royally. Plants aren't that good for you. They are full of antinutients that block your body from utilizing various vitamins such as iodine, B1, etc. Plants have their defenses against predators too. Humans were meant to eat meat which is why you have canine teeth in your mouth. Vegetation is strictly to keep you alive if meat is unavailable at the moment. You won't thrive on vegetation and it will eventually catch up to you. That's why vegans end up with rotten teeth, hair loss, hair turning grey and then white, bulging eyes, loss of muscle mass, constant hunger and, eventually, strokes. Your heart needs animal fat in order to thrive so you may end up with heart damage. The brain is made up of 96 percent cholesterol. Alzheimer's appeared on the scene in the late 1970s after the government pushed the low animal fat, anti cholesterol diet. A diet, btw, that has never been tested on the human body. Alzheimer's is characterized by holes appearing in the cholesterol segment of the brain.

​@@DavidM2002 Her doctor sounds rather quackish

Is it safe to say that we are being played by pharmaceutical companies?

Lower number means decreased risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney damage. Lifestyle changes first, then drugs if needed

Please, your risk of stroke, kidney damage, heart attack, dementia all go up with increasing BP. Drug companies are not playing with you you are playing with your life.

Bingo! You are correct.

True, that motive is there, but that does not mean that pressure shouldn't be lower for most people these days. Better done by diet, though, which gives no pharma profit. Frequently eating foods that are high in *BOTH* fat and carbohydrates, and stretched across one's waking hours is the main driver of high blood pressure, as is eating fructose when your liver's glycogen stores are already filled (like a sweet desert after eating lots of starch). These are two major drivers of metabolic syndrome, of which high blood pressure is just a part.

Always follow the money!

Those companies ,of course, just want the business and they encourage the doctors like mine to hand out pills like candy. Unfortunately, most doctors do not know any better because they have taken very few courses on drugs and they rely on the companies to tell them what is supposedly good. Look at the medicine bottle and the info that goes along with it. All drugs have side effects some of them serious. I stopped taking most medications because they stated: can cause cancer, kidney malfunction, etc. Pleas read the info first and then decide. You are crazy to take meds that you don't really need.

Great !

During the time you had high blood glucose (diabetes) were you on medication? I am 56 years old and a diabetic type 2 and trying hard to reverse this disease by slowly cutting down on medication. Thanks in advance

Congratulations! I am on a similar journey and have never felt better. Am focusing on the A1C as the most important marker of overall health.

@@cheeseongho5494 Do not cut down on your medication unless you are on an alternate regimen to get healthy. Check your A1C level as it is an important marker showing insulin insensitivity. If you can get your A1C close to 5, increase your HDL and lower your Triglycerides, you can then taper down your medication in consultation with your doctor. Just cutting meds without improving your health puts you at a higher risk of stroke or heart disease.

Did you cut all carbs, Terry Slipp? I’m thinking rice, potatoes, bread, pasta?

Gave up drinking for dry January and my BP dropped from 140/90 to 115/75. Gonna be hard to pick up a glass of wine after those results.

To low a pressure can be as bad as to high

You are my brother from another mother! My BP is always 110-70! I was 114.8 kg, now 83.9 on my way down to 62 kg. I turned 75 last month.

Very important also to have regular sex.

Well done mate

Not being mean here. I just wonder what drugs was she on ? My mom in law was nuts about age 80. The docs had her on 13 different meds. We cut her back to about 6 and she became more alert. She is still with us at age 94, but now in nursing home.

I agree with the hereditary factor for BP. My Mom had 155/90 for the last 30 years of her life and died at age 81 while being prepared at the hospital for a pacemaker. The docs were concerned and tried to lower her BP which resulted in fainting incidents. When she was allowed to go back to 155/90 she was healthy once more. I followed her treatment closely and I have had the same average of 155/90 for the last 30 years. I too, allowed various docs to try to lower my BP and I was a total mess with symptoms of cramping, lightheaded, depression, and general weakness all over. Every time I go to the doc she wants to talk new BP meds. I said I'm tired of being a guinea pig Currently today, I am showing 153/91 with a 62 pulse. and I'm in my late 70s.

that's my problem. from my ancestors I could live to 86 with CVD but die earlier from dementia. i know which I would prefer to die from.

BP is not hereditary. It's the lifestyle and food choices that are passed down and followed. That's why we see the same patterns.

High blood pressure can cause vascular dementia.

Glad it was helpful!

I bet you have circulation problems in your lower legs too, and hair loss... I almost lost my legs. I wised up and detoxed off of the BP meds that were causing the venous stasis. Now my ankles are just a little pink, instead of purple. Doctors will insist you stay on those poison polls, even if it costs you a leg or two. After all - it's not THEIR LEGS in danger of amputation.

No I don’t have circulation problems at all. Hair loss yes.

I agree….big Pharma benefits from setting lower standards. Not just blood pressure meds either.

@@kendraheard8240 taking care of yourself is job #1 ! Getting your full blood work is key to knowing what's going on in your body. For me it was reversing fatty liver and stopping my insulin resistance. Keto served well in this area . It sure isn't for everyone but does have an incredible effect on reducing fat in the organs and body , intermittent fasting is where the real work plays out in removing junk from cells during states of autophagy . Keto gives you what you need in turning fat into keytones to burn for energy slowing for long periods of time between meals so you body can do the work needed in repairs. I have been on a ketogenic diet for over 3 years . Education is key! I'd read everything I can find on the subject and do the blood work so you can see where you are deficient and adjust accordingly. Stay Strong! GOD be with You🙏

The American Association of Retired People commissioned a recent study and the question was - at what blood pressure, all things considered, should be people OVER 60 need to start BP meds?. A university professor was hired - he did a huge meta-analysis -- and then the results were presented to a 17 member panel for review. The answer - when a person over 60 has a BP above the range of 150/90, the person would benefit from taking BP meds, all things considered. Of the 17 members on the panel, 12 supported that conclusion and 5 did not. Why I found this particularly interesting is, Dr. Sanjay Gupta of York Cardiology was asked the same question by one of his subscribers a few years back - he came back after doing his research and the numbers he had - 150/90 - the same conclusion. This 120/80 box that the medical community tries to fit everyone in, is just NOT supported by the real data - but the pharmaceutical companies love it. I'm 68 - mine averages about 134/75 ... and I am perfectly happy with that number.

She told me that she was surprised I wasn't dropped dead with how "high" my BP was. Why do doctors like to freak people out so badly? I had such bad anxiety for a while because of it and I'm sure that didn't help. How are you doing now? Updates?

"White coat syndrome" does exist...I believe that's what happens to me.

WOW! So many asking for an update. Well I'm almost 70 years old. I like to read medical studies so in one the jam report from a European country, had that the older you are, having a BP of 140 to 150 if you are older is not bad. Then I found another study that showed people that took BP lowering meds had more heart incidents than those that took nothing. Well my cardiologist had me wearing a device for 2 weeks. It did not detect anything so bad, that he felt that I needed ❤ medication. But he said it was up to my PC doctor. I thought that was very strange. So I told my doctor that I will not take any medicine. I follow a mostly vegeterian diet with only cold water fish, salmon, sardines and some tuna. I only use olive oil & vinegar as a dressing on my salads. My diet is closer to a Mediterranean diet. The cardiologist and PCD said my diet was a hearth healthy diet. So I just take my B P at home and its always under 145/ 90 most of the time it has been 135/85 and I feel good. I'm also walking more. I will not take any medication to lower my BP or to lower cholesterol. I found that my memory is getting better. I read that good cholesterol is brain food. Well I'm no doctor or anything close I choose all that I do for myself. Its working for me. I did a lot of research and read a lot of papers. Based on that information I decided for my self whst I do now. Please do your own research and don't do what I do, it may not help you. I forgot I also laugh more 😅 laughter is the best medicine.

Amen 👌🏼 Drone View.. I noticed that one too 🤔💷💶💰 (greetings from the UK 🇬🇧 here mãn 👍🏼)

There's more: A Nephrologist that was giving a report on the Web about BP stated that as you age, your BP goes up because your arteries are getting stiffer and that for an 85 yr old (like me) BP is just fine with 150/70; a 50-60 yr old should have BP of around 135/60 to 140/60. As you age, your arteries naturally get stiffer whether you have cholesterol buildup or not & the stiffer they are, the higher the BP. He also felt BP should never be below 120/60. So... who are we to believe?

Glad to hear it!

You are very welcome

Actually BP has little to do with how healthy you are unless you are way overweight. Everyone has their own BP and the standard Bp of 120/80 means very little.
