HELP: How To Fight Hypertension

[dreamur]

My cardio prescribed the 5mg Norvasc/day when I hit 140/90. Funny thing it is manufactured by Pfizer who invented the famous blue pill so my cardio warned me of the "ridgidity".

Coffee can really cause palpitation, not to mention reflux.

Like mrbigg has always said...

1. Calorie count... we post calorie figures sa kainnan thread.
2. Gym ie.powerbuilding lol...i like this my shouders and hams look good. And it helps sa work. Goal is to do pull ups and maybe lose the belly so i can wear a mankini even though my bp is controlled.

You can buy a bp meter and a food scale to help.

Lifestyle change talaga, no other way around it...no shortcuts..like every endevour, the hardest are the first days, after 7 days, it becomes a habit..

Anybody adding red wine to their diet? I think it also helps manage the cholesterol level.

I havent had alcohol for 8 months, cholesterol is not as bad as people think, we need it for hormone production, including testosterone...our body produces it in larger amounts than we can ingest, problem is its the combination of insulin and cholesterol thats causing the problem, we're ingesting too much of it...

The exercise does not have to be strenuous. A brisk walk for an hour should be enough to elevate the heart rate and raise a sweat. It does have to be consistent though, say, 4x a week at least.

Not necessary imo. Cholesterol medication is 1000x more effective.

Drink wine for the buzz

Some are arguing that the 120/80 standard is not applicable anymore. 130/90 is still "normal" for some. Also make sure to monitor your heart rate, it is also as important as your blood pressure.

Walking is NOT really an exercise but it's better than doing nothing ... It should be BRISK walking ...

I just found out today that my BP is high!!! 130/90. My usual BP is 110/70 or 120/80.

.

In my limited experience, that will be perceived by the doctor, as pre-hypertension.

And so, they will prescribe maintenance medicine....

Yup,- working in a Corporate World is one big burden to our health and sanity.....

red wine.. white wine..
you can scan the internet and i'm sure you can find an article saying that "taken in moderation", it's good for your health.
not necessarily correct, 'though. over half of the "medical literature" out there is bellicose balderdash.
