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

Hi there Dr Sharma, I am a 23 yr old female with no past medical hx and a tonsillectomy when I was 2. I am currently on LoOgestrol BC pills- I have been on them for about 7 years, and in January I recently was put on adipex to help lose weight. I am very active I go to the gym about 3-4 x a week and jog/run on the treadmill for about 30 mins and then lift weights for legs and arms. I weigh about 170 and 5’6. My B/P since I have been on the adipex has been running 120s over high 70s. When I go to the Dr office the systolic is usually in the 130s. What does it mean when my diastolic gets so close to 80?? I last took it. It was 118/78. What do u recommend about the adipex and BC pills together?

I am 38 years now. From 2002 to 2005, I remained under very stressful conditions and developed lethargic habits, sitting and brooding, very less physical activities. This ultimately landed me in high BP like 150/100. On medication, it came to normal and even lower. But after leaving medicine, it again increased. I contacted cardiologist at Escort Delhi but he ruled out Heart problem after TMT and other heart test. He prescribed me medicine for gas, aplprax for better sleep and Amlong H for BP in 2009. I am regularly taking Amlong H only now. With this medicine my BP is normalyy in the range of 125-140/78-89. Today i got Lipid test but trigylecride is elevated i.e 397. But I am regularly exercising,alternatively doing yoga, non-veg take but precautiously, fruit and veg at higher side. I want to switch over to homeopathic medicine because if feel, Amlong H has side effect visible in me like some short breathing just before sleep and not not in sleep. mood swing i have but it is from my childhood. I have family history of BP and asthama but not heart attack. Please suggest me.
