High blood pressure in young people

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

  1. I’m 30 years old,my BP is 160/110 what should I do?

  2. avijit samajdar says:

    Hello Doctor.

    I am a 43 years old male and of recent I have seen my BP sometimes going to the 150/100 or 140/90 range… At other times it is absolutely normal… 123/83… Even when it shows in the higher range, apparently I feel no dizziness, nausea or any symptoms related to it.. Its just that having once seen the BP high in a sudden test I am checking it regularly on our electronic BP machine at home and seeing this development.

    I am a first generation entrepreneur and all the stress related to it exists in my life. So are odd hours of sleeping, travel and eating habits. I drink and a smoker too.. (sadly started after quitting for over a year and a half), which I hope to stop once again using nicotine supplements, which helped last time.

    I would like you to suggest me the medicines in homoepathy which will help me. Homeopathy works very well for me and when we were young, that was our favoured mode of treatment. Also about 3 years back, I had a bout of alopacea and lost some hair, which with homeopathic treatment, got cured in a short period of time.

    Your advice and suggestions are awaited.

    With warm regards…. Avijit Samajdar

    My age is 20 and my blood pressure is 150/90 what should I do please help me doctor

  9. Thank you for the info. I have a similar case.

    In the past few months I have changed my job and yes, it is quite stressful at times, but I’m holding up and have managed to avoid getting stressed too much over the people I work with or all the things that are bothering me.

    I have always had a low BP of 115/75 and I’ve always been fine with it. Actually, whenever I have been angry or stressed, It would be like 120/80. Usually my pulse goes up from 65 to 82, depending on the situation.

    I keep a healthy diet, I don’t eat junk food, I don’t drink soda or juices or sugar containing drinks. I even removed coffee from my daily intake in the past 3 years, since I decided I don’t need it anymore. I only have a cup, with some milk and honey, when I haven’t really slept well and I need myself in a good condition of concentration. I’m a fan of green tea, and I am so caffeine free that I can smell the caffeine in a cup of green tea…

    I eat wholegrain bread, if any at all – I prefer it. It’s how I’ve been brought up.

    I eat fresh veggies and salads, and fresh fruit all the time and in the past year or so, I’ve reduced the meat in my diet, since I have discovered that it causes a sort of an acne, when I eat meat more than twice a week. I don’t have a medical source to prove it’s the cause, but it’s a correlation I see and I just decided to cut it low.

    I eat dark chocolate, instead of milk one. I eat raw nuts, instead of baked. I drink mineral water with high pH, but I change it, since I read somewhere one should.

    I don’t drink on a regular basis – only if there’s some celebration – a birthday, new years’, a wedding…

    My exercise is I walk daily between 3 and 10 km, and I have dance classes – twice a week for an hour, which is a very good cardio. I’ve been doing this for a year already.

    Still, I am overweight, yes. I have tried many things to lose weight, but it doesn’t really work much. It’s not like I’m obese or something. I just have a few pounds to shed off.

    The first time I noticed my change of BP was a few weeks back, when I was about to visit my parents and I had a terrible headache – front, above the eyes, and back. Everything was spinning and as if I was looking through a foggy window. I don’t own a BP apparatus, so when I made it to my parents, my mom took my BP and it was 165/89. My pulse was 70, which was ok. I took one of my mom’s pills and had a small shot of brandy and I was ok in an hour – fell down to 130/75.

    I thought it was a one time incident thing. But I have been feeling the same way for quite a while and I believe it’s the BP going up, even though I don’t get a headache anymore.

    This weekend I was at our villa with my family and I woke up on Saturday feeling as if I didn’t get enough sleep, even though I slept over 8 hours. I went downstairs to make a cup of coffee, so I’d feel better, since we were supposed to have a family reunion meeting and I had to drive everyone to the town nearby and back. As I had my first sip, my mom said “let me just take your BP, just in case” – it was 147/77 and my pulse was 49. I had a pill – nothing. Had a shot of brandy – nothing. It went to 155/77 with a pulse 47, which I find odd for some reason. Everyone kept telling me to calm down, when I was feeling tired and sleepy and calm… I have no idea what is wrong with me. It’s Tuesday today and I feel drained and tired and my head is heavy, and I keep feeling as if my head gets needles and my eyes have cotton buds in. I’m 30 years old and this is just absurd for my age and lifestyle.

    I have recently contacted my doctor to ask for full blood tests, ECG and to test my thyroid for a possible Hashimoto, which is apparently rather famous around my local peers, but as the system works here, you get cut off, since you’re not a dying case or your condition isn’t certain. Go figure where the “test for prevention” went and why do doctors even bother to take an oath…

    Anyway, I’d appreciate any help with any information about the correlation between BP and pulse and what could possibly cause this, because apparently I have to either pay as a private patient or go to my doctor with a full case scenario…

    Thank you in advance.
