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.

A patient may have arterial occlusion in one arm which will give a false lower number. Good point on the size of the cuff bigger the arm wider the cuff.

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.

Had an outpatient surgery recently. After the anaesthetic wore off, they gave me a cup of coffee to help me come back to life. Then, ten minutes later, before discharging me, they took my BP, which was an astronomic 180 (systolic, of course). When I took it three hours later at home it was 135. Goes to show how variable the measurement is and how subject to external influences.

Dr Baron, Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, time and experience as a Dr. I have High Blood Pressure since leaving the Marine Corps in 1994. Naturally I understand why. 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.

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.

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.

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.

My doc advised me to take BP meds because my BP was staying around 160-170 / 80-90. I did some reading and learned High BP is among the first signs of a "MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY"! I started taking 500 mg's of Magnesium oxide in tablet form. Letting the tablet dissolve in saliva without swallowing it, crushing the crystals with teeth, massaging the crystals against the roof of the mouth etc., over a period of 15 minutes or so while watching TV lowered my blood pressure into the 115-120 / 70-85 range depending on the activity situation. Natural remedies exist for every situation! Most are aggressively hidden by the "PHARMA/MED", cartels to protect profit!! I'm 72, survived 2 strokes caused by following Doc's advice & swallowing toxic meds as well as curing at home, a hospital acquired "INCURABLE", Staph infection with garlic, turmeric and oregano.

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.

Even though the measuring alone doesn't do anything, it does help me to maintain my focus on my health overall. Great presentation!

@@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 was hospitalized, put back on Losartan because of major increase in BP. Went to dentist who asked had my meds changed. I told her, she asked if I had cramps in my shins and ankles. Yes! She had switched to irbesartan and cramps went bye. I did the same and the cramps stopped for me too. I'm slowly getting my BP back down, lowered irbesartan by half and BP almost always between 125/75 to 105/65, except after driving 40 miles through traffic for 10 of those, where the BP comes in up to 140/75.

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.

Great info! Thank you! Doctor tried to subscribe BP medication during an initial without really knowing me as a patient. I had to rush to get to his office after a stressful day. To top it off, I was nervous about meeting a doctor for the first time. Naturally my blood pressure was elevated when the nurse took my vitals. After sitting in the exam room for 10-15 minutes, the doctor walks in, greets himself and after scanning my chart, asked if my blood pressure is always so high. I explained what kind of day I had and that I was not interested in any medication as blood pressure is not always at the same and constant levels. He did check my BP before leaving his office and it was below normal. Don’t jump on the medication bandwagon! You can control BP naturally yourself. There are also natural herbs to help with controlling BP if needed. Eating a diet rich in dark raw leafy vegetables (8-10 cups) will also help. Lots of green veggies, low carb, with light to moderate protein. Drinking hibiscus tea as well as getting enough sleep and periods of rest during the day is also helpful.

My wife and I are no longer on statins and blood thinners for over a year now and feels much healthier, much better. WHY? We ditched the table salt, Canola oil, wheat, dairy and sugary food and drinks. We use Himalayan salt, virgin coconut oil for cooking or even in salads, turmeric/ginger with pipperine supplements 2x/day, magnesium glycinate 200-300 mg/day, more fruits and veggies and less carbs. Now that everything is normal for over a year we are no longer taking the turmeric/ginger supplements but would once in a while drink ginger and honey tea at night. Taking 500mg Vit. C together with 100 mg magnesium 3x/day and Omega 3 fish oil 1-2xday, CoQ10 1-2xweek. Also keep hydrated. However we learned that no matter how much water you drink you'd still be dehydrated if you're on a no salt diet or is using table salt because the cells will not absorb the water. It's why it's imperative to use Himalayan or any PURE SEA SALT..

The benefits of turmeric have been studied often and it is always helpful. Since fruit and veggies are carbs, I guess you mean you but out starches. I drink a lot of water. I will have to check on the table salt (lets look at salt tablets for camping too), as I have Himalayan salt but have used table salt (sodium chloride) all my life. Diet salt is helpful because it is potassium chloride, and potassium, which kills if taken in excess, is absolutely necessary for the heart, and is not found in as many foods.

My opinion is, regarding any appointment, whether it's medical or not, the client should not have to wait beyond 20 minutes. If the client does have to wait longer, the company should drop 20% off the cost of the visit.

Why are some patients given three or four different high blood pressure medications? Can't they find less diagnosis?

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 2 жыл бұрын

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

When you say physical activity lowers BP is too generalized of a statement. If a patient has valsva habits, shallow breathing, accessory breathing and overexertion from the more is better concept you will increase the load on the heart and not see the declines you want. You have to learn energy conservation during therapeutic exercises to really get the most efficacious outcomes. And cardiovascular exercises vs anaerobic exercises is necessary. I get awesome results on a recumbent bike with energy conservation cues and a goal of sustained 60-80rpm for 30 minutes a day. 1 hour better if tolerated. Also if you are on beta blockers then you really need a healthcare progressional involved as you can easily overexert heart capacity due to the controlled lower heart rate that cannot respond correctly increased heart demands. This is where you have to exercise at a moderate intensity level (anything that feels hard or moderately hard to do should be avoided).

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.

Brooklyn babe in NY: aren’t your doctors prescribing anything for you? What did you learn from this presentation that could help you? Are you overweight due to food choices or medicines or alcohol? If it’s not bothering you that much, maybe for you it’s normal. I would suggest an endocrinologist or cardiac doctor to assess your condition. Try holistic doctors who usually try to find the cause of the problem rather than just treat it’s symptoms. Use patient reviews to choose a caring professional, that way you won’t get stuck with a pill pusher type, who’s in a hurry to see his next patient, or big pharma rep with typical goodies to pass out!

Recommended of how to take the BP is a crock. If it is low at home shows you are relaxed in a relaxed environment. BP is all about the body's reaction to environmental stresses or lack of. 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. Sodium/potassium are vital for nerve and muscle function. Sound health to everyone. If you've gone beyond 10 minutes in this video you're interested in your health and already doing some of the things I listed and of course, I only highlight a few of the many things needed.
