Hypertension is a very severe health condition and you'd never know without measuring your Blood Pressure. Unfortunately, this may be a silent killer. If left neglected, it can severely damage your quality of life and set the stage for heart condition, kidney complications, or a stroke.
Medicines can effectively lower your blood
pressure. But the danger of long-term health consequences also depends on many
other factors like your current vital sign, cholesterol and blood glucose
levels. If these factors are not controlled you are likely to get heart attack
within the next ten years.
"Hypertension led to 1.63 million deaths in
India in the year 2016 alone and don’t think they are those who cannot afford medicines or good
hospital facility."
"Hypertension led to 1.63 million deaths in India in the year 2016 alone and don’t think they are those who cannot afford medicines or good hospital facility."
Our current thinking about treating high blood
pressure is misguided, and even harmful. Sadly, the drugs used for controlling
blood pressure can definitely increase our life expectancy but is not
successful in improving the quality of life.
How Bill Clinton was trapped by modern medical science
If
a former president of the US, Bill Clinton who is one of the most powerful persons
in the world could become a victim of modern medical science, just imagine what
would be the fate of the commoner . Medicines taking for long can only lead to
future illness; this is very much evident from medical history of former US
president Mr. Bill Clinton.
After getting four bypass surgeries when Bill Clinton was too sick from doctors and medicines , he could reverse his heart disease by following a heart healthy diet. By the top of 2011, he was healthy and young again. He could now travel widely round the world.
"So, everyone has the right to decide for themselves whether or not to
take medicines for life time to lower their blood pressure. But before
deciding to take medicines for high blood pressure you must ask your doctor
about all the pros and cons of various treatment options."

When interviewed by CNN regarding
his marvelous health recovery. He explained, “I went on essentially a
plant-based diet. I live on beans, legumes, vegetables, fruits. No dairy. I
drink almond milk mixed in with fruit when I start the day up. And it changed
my whole metabolism and I lost 24 pounds and I got back to basically what I
weighed in high school.
Side effects of High Blood Pressure medicines
Medicines that lower blood pressure tend to
work well. But they don't necessarily treat the cause of the problem. And no matter how safe they are, all drugs can
have some unwanted or unintended side effects. Some common side effects of high
blood pressure medicines include:
- Erection problems
- Nervousness
- Feeling tired, weak, drowsy, or a lack of energy
- Headache
- Weight loss or gain without trying
So, instead of using only medicines for
reducing blood pressure, we should also try to find out what causes high blood
pressure in the first place.
Example of Mr. X & Mr. Y
I have a patient Mr. X, who is having high
Blood Pressure since 12 years. He decided to take Blood Pressure medicines and started
with one medicine/ day but now his dose has increased to 4 medicine/day and
still his Blood pressure is out of control. Along with this he also takes
medicines for his blood sugar & Cholesterol.
His vital organs are getting damaged now. His eyes are getting damaged, uric acid and creatinine is also increasing which is sign of kidney damage. Now Doctor has advised him to control Blood Pressure through diet as they can’t increase dose further.
I have another patient Mr.Y, who is taking Blood pressure medicines since 10 years. He is not overweight but still his Blood pressure is high. He tried both allopathy and ayurvedic treatment but nothing worked for him. Finally has decided not to use blood pressure medicines.
He has modified his lifestyle: He goes for walk every day, eats a balanced diet and doesn't drink much alcohol. He feels healthy now and doesn't want to have to take medicine every day. He tells himself: "If my blood pressure suddenly goes up in a few years, I can still start taking medication then.
"No treatment is successful without diet. If you decide to use food as a medicine you don’t need to take medicines for long. Also you will be able to save your vital organs from getting damaged."
When is medication necessary?
If your blood pressure is high for the first
time it can often be reduced by losing weight, healthy diet, taking natural or
herbal supplements, eating less salt and improving lifestyle. If that isn't
effective enough, treatment with antihypertensive medication is considered.
If you have very high blood pressure, the risk
of cardiovascular disease is so great that doctors usually recommend immediate
treatment with medication. This is the case for systolic blood pressure levels
over 180 mmHg.
Even if you are taking medicines don’t forget
to work on your diet and lifestyle which can not only help you to eliminate
your medicines but will also prevent your vital organs from getting damaged.
