The Danger With Hypertension

By Bret Finnego

High Blood Pressure is known to be dangerous. If you are running or exercising your Blood Pressure will rise, but once you have stopped the exercise and your body has had a chance to calm down then your Blood Pressure will go back down.

So that does not mean you have High Blood Pressure, it is when a Doctor tests your BP and it is higher than normal for no real reason. Now as a side note, your BP can rise in anticipation of seeing the Doctor, so your BP may show higher than it really would be if you weren't in the Doctors office.

So one BP reading that shows it to be high does not result in Hypertension. But if you have had it checked regular over a period of time and it consists to be high then this is when the likely hood is that you are Hypertensive.

Before your Doctor prescribes any medication, you should be given the option to make some healthy changes to your lifestyle. There are things you can change in your lifestyle that could bring your BP down back to normal, which means there will be no need for medication.

But if I were to take note of what somebody recently wrote on a popular website, then I would not believe any of what I have written. Apparently if there is no reason to be found as to why your BP is consistently high then that would your Normal BP. As for medication they will not make the slightest bit of difference in bringing your BP down.

Would you believe a Pharmacist wrote that and something I found very weird is that he hates the companies that make the drugs. I believe that more drugs are dished out than need be and why is that, probably because of the amount of money involved.

I find it completely ridiculous that if you have High Blood Pressure then that is normal for you. I just that the people that read that article don't take it as real, but if in doubt then discuss it with your Doctor.

Don't let High Blood Pressure go untreated, because long term you could have kidney failure or have a stroke or heart attack. Talk to your Doctor about your options. - 14130
