Nigeria will not kill person. I had this exact and was placed on bp drugs in ph. No one told me about rest.

hypertension should be concluded after a single blood pressure measurement or check. Before concluding that a person is hypertensive, the blood pressure should be measured continuously for 5 days if high value is gotten within the period of 5 days usually early in the morning, then the person can be said to be hypertensive .

Eat beetroot plant. Note: be careful of the quantity you consume it can greatly reduce your BP (even to dangerous levels). So eat small quantities each day. And check your BP regularly to see if it's stable.

A high diastolic pressure could be an indication of a kidney related issue…. I advice u go for a kidney check and afterwards try to check you weight and to be sure you Are within the safety zones of the weight chart……. Also consider the lemon water therapy that also helps too.

If you need a sweet drink, take natural coconut water, or moringa leaves tea occasionally.
Garlic is good too.
Sort drinks and beer are not advisable for you.
I have a friend who had similar issue at a young age, moringa leaves tea saved him.

Na why I no dey like hospital, they would always look for what to find in someone’s health. Before the person would know, he or she would start worrying and begin to manifest some funny signs or even start imagining that such issues exist

If you are not lucky to have a good paying job in this country of today as an adult you are, it can be a serious reason for HBP

LoveGifted:
Let me talk to you personally?

I know what causes your HBP.

Right now so many young people are battling HBP but they don't know.

Once I tell you and you stop it, it would be gone.

What causes this things in youths lives among us and now it's rampant. So many youths now are battling with HBP. Some don't even know they have it until they go for testing and the sad part is that it has nothing to do with bad way of life atall.

The day I found out, I was so shocked.

P.S: I would not be giving you this information for FREE.

Chrixtopha:


You are not alone, I discovered that my BP is always high while in 300L, probably 25-26 years. The Doctors couldn't believe it, am 33 now and anytime I try checking it it's always high. So a doctor told me that I should try and be correcting it, that it's not unusual and prescribed Lisinopril 5mg... I don't smoke but I drink. But I noticed anytime I enter the hospital or come closer to anyrhing medical, am always tensed.

Sounds like my situation too. Been managing this Hbp issue for 2 years now. Discovered by mistake. I have a monitor at home to measure it. I noticed at home or pharmacy it is normal but once I enter hospital it spikes badly. I get very anxious going to the hospital. It is called white coat syndrome. Once you see a lab coat BP spikes. I have been having bad side effects from the drugs. Amodopine was making my ankles swell really bad. I had to do a kidney function test to clear doubts.
Now, I take lots of green tea, beetroots, ginger and garlic.
My mother brought one leaf called miracle leaf. I try to chew it or blend in my smoothies. I am still on regular BP drugs but I want to wean off it.

Mark my keyword "permanent". Worry could disrupt sleep and overtime raise blood pressure. But it comes down on its own when the issue is addressed. The poster said he wasn't worried. God knows humans would worry, the body accommodates it.

In his case, I suspect hereditary.. Family history should be looked into. Equally, the lifestyle I earlier mentioned is suspect too

Drone95:
a worried person could have difficulty sleeping, and lack of sleep/ insomnia can result in elevated blood pressure.

Drone95:
120/80 125/90 130/80 are within normal range for 30s, 40s ,and 50s.
Blood pressure measured after stressful day or after sleepless night is expected to be high, so blood pressure is best measured early in the morning after a sound night sleep

You too much. Thanks for educating me

achillesfoot:
Looking at all of the answers, I'm amazed at such ignorance, someone who said you need to be educated claims salt blocks the arteries/blood vessels.. I think I've to write in everyone's mention.. However to you in particular, there's nothing wrong with you as long as you don't experience angina on the left side of your chest. If you do, then mention me,i can change my write-up. Your lifestyle needs to change, garlic and ginger also works wonders.. Stay away from noodles. The list is long but I'll stop here.. Let me conclude here, blood pressure going up is totally normal and it goes up in different times of the day and in tandem with your body weight.. You can mention for further clarification. Danke.

Please mention what to avoid. Thanks.

So presently I think I am in this stage.
I am below 30 and my BP is high. Back then when I was in school and wasn't really worry about many things, I did my bP and I found it to be 120/80.

Ever since I fell I'll one time and I started worrying about life after school and many things. My BP spiked. Last I checked it was 138/??. I feel my heart pounding sometimes even without doing anything.

I have come to observe that it is genetic in my family. So I try to avoid eating salts and drinking alcohol as much as I can. The worrying part is what I haven't handled well. I am the first son and I have so much I worry about. This is not just me, I think many young men out there face this same issue...

Something needs to be done about it

JimmySwaggart:


Next time back your claims with evidence.
So imagine I take multina regularly, means am endangering my live as a hypertensive patient when compared to someone who drinks two bottles of beer at a go. Here this...

ANSWER: It's unlikely that the diet soda you drink is causing your high blood pressure. A number of studies have examined this topic, and there is no evidence to suggest a link between regularly drinking diet soda and an increase in blood pressure.Jun 18, 2016

Mayo Clinic Q and A: Diet Soda and High Blood Pressure

You seem incapable of diffrentiating 'Diet soda' from 'sugary beverages', do you? While the former has no calories the latter is full of it, among other differences.To be honest, i never wanted to reply you, but the depth of your cluelessness on this topic compelled me to. Nonetheless i urge you to read/ask from authoritative sources, so you are guided and be able to make wise choices.

The most worrisome part for me is.. I absolutely don’t feel funny.. but I was diagnosed with a 178 BP.. scared af .. but I also don’t want to resign to a lifetime of using medicine everyday.. I’m in my mid twenties for Christ sake

I couldn’t have said this better.
Could when I had an issue way back in school, depression and worry kicked in and lo n behold I had this BP issue, but that same year I did all to get it solved.
But now I think whenever I’m just worrying about this life of a thing or where I am I have this feeling this BP of a thing is trying to come back around.
It’s just crazy.

I think this is where most of us have this funny misconception about medicine, be it long term usage or short term my brother, see a doc and let him prescribe the right drugs for you and be whole in no time, long term usage or short shouldn’t be your priorities now.
My 2 cent brother.
You won’t be on any drug for life, don’t get yourself worked up.

Well, I used herbs to control my own when it was high. I hate drugs. Herbs are the best. Just leaves in the bush

. Please, what kind of leaves do you take.

Hi golddust6000 and every contributor on this thread. I had to follow because of the rich value of the info being provided. As at 19yrs when I was in 100L, my BP was reading 160/80 and 140/90. I did nothing much to bring it down. Maybe because I was naive or so. But over time these last 3 years of actively working, I have noticed my BP to be high. I have decided to do something about it and currently on drugs. However, the doctor attending to me said my BP is fluctuating as it goes up and down sometimes but he said nevertheless that I am hypertensive.

After going through the thread yesterday, I went to the market to buy ginger, tumeric, garlic and beetroot. My question now is whether I should pause the drugs and use the fruits or I should combine them together. I don't like drugs as a person but my health needs to be attended to.

Should I also blend the garlic, ginger, tumeric and beetroot together or take it raw.

Thanks everyone for your kind responses and advise

golddust6000:
exactly. I stop taking bp meds, beetroot and garlic, plus ginger mix all like juice, I was surprised my bp went from 161 to august 131 just for only two days o. I can never take bp meds never, even my kidney function was 56, now it’s 72 bro there’s wonders in nature I must attest.

Dept of my cluelessness you say. I was more concerned about his liver when I said soft drink. Talking about soft drink, I wasn't picturing coke, Fanta and 7 up. My idea of an ideal soft drink was something like multina. At least that's harmless to him than taking something like 33 export or gulder. Anyways, you can choose to see it which ever way you want, my advice to that young man is not a misguided advise. And my emphasis was more on him seeing a cardiologist, and also to avoid long term oral use of beta adrenergic blockers. Simple.

Does this beetroot plant have any native name or so?

No problem, am ok with your rude remarks. exchanging ideas with a rude and arrogant dude isn't't worth it. I value the little time I spend here. Mind you I won't respond to your mentions anymore. Enjoy yourself and get lost........

blend all together, put whole bunch of garlic and big size ginger, blend it make it as juice, it’s so powerful so just try and drink half cup. It’s advisable to drink it on an empty stomach

Make sure you throw away the drugs, don’t ever use it again, it’s a silent killer.

Take this juice everyday I promise you just three days you will see wonders. Note the juice will upset your stomach so be careful.

Based on the herbal ingredients you mentioned. I did it yesterday. Though I had a bit of time drinking it comfortably as I don't know whether I can add much water to make it easier for me. Nevertheless, I had a great night rest. And I feel better than I have felt in a long time.
Also, which hand is better for BP monitor machine, left or right as both are giving me different figures. Left says 128/76, right 136/81.

The juice, is it okay. I didn't know how to proportion the ingredients though. Thanks again

left arm is preferable because the heart is located at the left side of the upper limb.

felixawe:
Bro, don't rush, BP is common, most people feign theirs isn't high (normal) afterward some died as a result of complications.

How I manage :
1: Rest
2: quality sleep
3: no alcohol
4: Reduce stress
5: loose weight
6: reduce salt intake
7: Reduce red meat
8: reduce cholesterol
9: No smoking
10: seek happiness

Ensure you drink garlic capsule daily & vitamin b complex in addition.

golddust6000:
where did you buy beetroot in Nigeria?

In Warri here. I have never known the fruit before so asked in the market. One is about N500.

Does it have any local name?
Or is called beetroot root everywhere?
