Stress And Hypertension

Friday, September 19th, 2008

There are endless things that can cause hypertension. Everything from what you eat to what your genes generate to pollution and … well pretty much everything!

You see, your body is designed to raise your blood pressure. It’s very functional thing to do if you’re getting ready to protect yourself, have to run to catch a bus, or just when you get excited about something.

It’s normal and that’s why pretty much anything can raise your bp.
The problem is when it doesn’t go down after you should calm down. After a few minutes sitting on the bus, after you have protected yourself and celebrated victory, after the body is done digesting the food… then your blood pressure should naturally drop.

If it doesn’t, then there is a problem. Then you need something to force your blood pressure down. Some people use blood pressure medications. I prefer simple exercises that only take a few minutes a day and naturally lower your blood pressure.
You can learn about these natural blood pressure exercises here…

Am I Doomed To Suffer Hypertension?

Every time you have a fight with your spouse or your kids, you feel angry, your face gets red, your heart start pounding hard, and you even get a headache.  If you take your blood pressure at that time, it will be alarmingly high.

Intense emotions make our blood pressure increase, but it decreases and returns to normal once those intense emotions subside.  High blood pressure is normally not detected until it remains high over an extended period of time.

Having it checked regularly, at least once every two years, is the only way to know if you have it.  The following symptoms may signify that you are suffering from hypertension, or high blood pressure.  It is important to note that you may also have high blood pressure even if you don’t have these symptoms; that is why it is very important to have your blood pressure checked regularly.
