Treatment for Hypertension
December 29th, 2009 | 
Author: I advocate natural methods such as diet and exercise as the best treatment for hypertension.
The advantage of treating hypertension with alternative methods have clear benefits over medication. (See high blood pressure medication side effects)
Sure, lowering your blood pressure naturally is not a quick fix for hypertension. But if you start now you will begin to see the results within a matter of weeks. As the months roll by your blood pressure will steadily come down until its within a range you can comfortably live with.
But here’s the rub:
After you embark on the road of natural treatment for hypertension there’s no going back to the lifestyle that gave you high blood pressure in the first place. Slip back to a poor diet, no exercise, and stressful living you blood pressure will probably rise too.
This is especially true if you have hypertension “in the family”, like I do. Having a genetic propensity to high blood pressure means you have to stick to a healthy lifestyle to keep hypertension at bay.
The simple fact is that those of us who are inclined towards developing hypertension can’t be so relaxed about our lifestyle. We have to work at getting our blood pressure down and keeping it down.
But maintaining a healthy low blood pressure lifestyle isn’t such a bad deal. It’s not a joyless life of self-denial. Far from it. It just requires some moderation and common sense.
With regarding dietary changes, at first it may seem a little difficult to change old habits but after a short while you’ll find your taste and desire in food falling in line.
When you know that what you’re eating is actively restoring your health you will find it tastes great too. There must be a psychological component to our sense of taste.
Natural treatment for hypertension can a have a positive affect on your whole life. With a good diet and ample exercise you will begin to feel new energy and optimism. Your whole life will be positively affected – your relationships, your work, your pastimes, your love life.

I went to the ER for extremely high blood pressure,204/118
I was given a double dose of medication,apo-metoprolol&
novo-ramipril. I felt as if I was being burnt alive. I kept asking the doctor what was happening to me. She said she did not know. When her shift was over I was discharged. I was in extreme pain and could not sit or lie down. I had to keep walking, which seemed to give me a little relief. I went to my doctor and he told me I would be fine. It took about a month for the burning to go away.
For the next 14 months, I felt the burning every once in my chest, but nothing serious. One night the burning returned. I went to the ER and was given a chest X-ray and blood tests but nothing showed up. For the next 8 days I suffered with burning to my arms and across my chest. I could not sleep and was extremely exhausted. I went back to the ER and told them I thought I had nerve damage. They did different tests, but because my vitals were fine, they were going to discharge me. I insisted she give me some kind of medicine for damaged nerves. The doctor back with a prescription for apo-gabapentin and it worked almost immediately. Has anyone ever heard of this kind of reaction to medication?
