High Blood Pressure Could Be Killing You While You Are Young
Research shows that high blood pressure starts much early in life and at times goes undetected for decades until it shows itself in symptoms. It usually, is one of the most common cause for heart disease. In an extensive research carried around the world for six years, a scientific panel learned that the problems in the cardiovascular system (heart and the vessels carrying blood) can begin at much lower blood pressure levels than previously believed.
It concluded that the risk of heart disease and stroke can begin to rise when blood pressure increases past 120/80. That?s why the panel developed a new range called ‘Pre hypertension’ – for readings between 120/80 and 139/89. People with blood pressure readings in the Pre-hypertension range are now encouraged to adopt life style changes to lower their blood pressure levels or else they would develop hypertension (high blood pressure) and become prone to heart disease and Stroke.
Blood pressure is measure of pressure exerted by the flowing blood on the walls of arteries. It is measured in two numbers systolic over diastolic. Systolic the top number is the pressure exerted when the heart pumps the blood, diastolic the bottom number is the pressure exerted when the heart is resting between the two beats. People with blood pressure readings over 140/90 are said to be having hypertension.
Although Pathological causes such as Pheochromocytoma (tumor of the adrenal), coarctation of aorta (bending of a major artery) and renal diseases are not so common but need to excluded as being the cause for hypertension.. When no such cause is ascertained the increased blood pressure is called as ‘Essential Hypertension.’ Essential Hypertension in young is generally an out come of a faulty living habits- which mainly include improper diet, sedentary life style, alcohol and smoking. Genetic factors also play a role in its early onset. High blood pressure is dangerous as it makes the heart work hard and contributes to hardening of the arteries. It increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. It can also lead to kidney and eye diseases.
The treatment of prehypertension and hypertension in young requires a combination of a well rounded homoeopathic intervention and restructuring of one lifestyle. Homoeopathic intervention aims at treating the whole patient and not just the symptoms. Among many homoeopathic medicines that are found useful, Nux Vomica leads the table in treating essential hypertension in the young when the cause can be attributed to faulty living style i.e. . Sedentary living, overwork, stimulants etc. Ignatia and Kali Phos are helpful when mental stress are the key causative factors. Natrum Mur helps those who are addicted to high salt diet and also where long standing grief is the cause for elevated blood pressure levels. Medicines mentioned above are for information purpose only and should not be used without professional help.
Preventing hypertension
Adopting Lifestyle modifications can be of great help for those in the prehypertension stage and also those suffering from hypertension.
Diet
Reduce sodium intake, which basically means reducing salt intake. Eat more whole grains, beans, fresh fruits and vegetables and low fat diary products. Reduce alcohol intake and for smoking, in short, don’t. Limit intake of saturated fats (animal fats).
Stress
Eliminate unnecessary elements of stress in your life and try activities like meditation, yoga, dancing, regular walks etc. Certain homoeopathic medicines are a natural form of reducing stress.
Obesity and Exercise.
Being overweight means that your heart will have to work more hard, resulting in higher blood pressure. Keep a regular check on your cholesterol levels. Regular exercise is must for maintaining ideal blood pressure levels

I am a 46 y/o female with fluctuant borderline to high blood pressure since august 2012. It fluctuates from 105/70’s to somedays 160/101. I have been taking homeopathic treatment for other problems like seasonal allergies, menopausal hot flashes/ insomnia and anxiety and now hypertension. All my other symptoms have been well-controlled except BP. I am not sure if there is adequate control. It is always high when first measured and then if remeasured 10 or 15 minutes later….it seems lowered. I want to try one last time to see if a second homeopathic opinion will help before I commit to allopathic meds. Your thoughts will be appreciated.

My daughter is 18 &, for the first time, just received a BP reading from her doctor of 126/94. She’s a freshman in college & boards at the school. She’s 5’4-1/2″ & weighs 146. Is this cause for concern? What, if anything, should be done? Her pressure has always been very good.
Thank you in advance for your help,

Hi, I’m Mamun from Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I’m a 20 year boy. I’m 5’7″ tall and weigh about 55 kg (120 lb). Studying undergrad in a renowned engineering institute (BUET) and my final exam is upcoming. But I’m not prepared for the exam at all. Besides, I have a girlfriend whose ex is interrupting our relationship. He’s not gonna leave her, rather he tries to blackmail her saying that he will commit suicide if she doesn’t leave me and accept him. The girl has also a soft corner or sympathy for the boy and she often says that she’s confused with whom she should stay. Me or him, though she admits that she loves me and not him, but I’m strong enough to live without her but he’s unable to do so. Once I offered her to go for him but she couldn’t leave me. So, I’m in an uncertain phase in our relationship. So, I was very much tensed past few days.
Yesterday my blood pressure rose up to 140/100 mm(Hg) . Now I’m controlling my diet and pressure is lowering gradually. 130/95, 130/90, 130/80 and now it’s 125/80. Now I don’t know whether it is being cured or controlled. Do I need to control my diet and activities for a long period? Should I workout? Any suggestion to get a happy life?
Generally I do workout everyday. Push ups, toe touches, squats and high knees- each one for 30 secs, and repeating the whole process 3 times with 30 sec rest in interval. Should I continue this or any different workout?
Thanks in advance.
