This really is a true story. I am writing this on Saturday, June 19th at 6:45am from my home in Sheffield in the UK. I have suffered from high blood pressure for many years now and have been on medication for longer than I care to remember. Many times I have tried to diet, exercise, reduce alcohol intake etc. Every time I have started with the best intentions, but eventually I give up! Four weeks ago (Friday 28th May) I went to the doctors for a periodic check. My Blood Pressure was higher than ever. I have always suffered from 'White Coat Syndrome', and had had a particularly stressful period at work prior to visiting the doctors. But at 185/90 I was advised to up my medication. I convinced … [Read more...]

High Blood Pressure Drugs Linked To Heart Attacks
June 8, 2010 By
About 60% of all the people who have heart attacks have NORMAL blood pressure and the vast majority of these people are taking high blood pressure drugs. In a recent study in Europe, patients with high blood pressure who did NOTHING at all lived longer and had less complications than people who were on HBP medications. It's only a matter of time before you hear the medical institutions admit they were totally mistaken about heart disease and the dangers of high blood pressure drugs. There is A LOT of money and even more ego and pride at stake with the present medical model, so don't expect a public apology too soon . . . but it will come. If you've tried the traditional approach, you've just … [Read more...]
A friend has hypertension and it is impossible to obtain professional help would deliberate blood loss help?
July 11, 2010 By
Through deliberately caused blood loss, can you balance out hypertension in an absolute emergency? If so, where on the body and how would you attempt such a treatment? Pangolin's absolutely right. The body will be pumping out huge amounts of adrenaline and making other compensations long before you see a drop in blood pressure. The only emergency situation in which I can think it would be warranted would be severe pulmonary edema, in which rotating torniquets and bloodletting were a secondary part of the treatment as late as the 1970's, in very exceptional circumstances. But even then, it would be of little use and not an alternative to proper treatment. Also, that's such a dire circumstance … [Read more...]
Can you tell me why some medicines are not safe for people with intraocular hypertension or glaucoma?
April 28, 2010 By
I am taking a cough medicine called Tussionex. I have noticed that it (among others) has a warning label for people with glaucoma. I have been monitored with intraocular hypertension for about a year now. Could this medicine hurt my eyesight? Thanks for your advice. Some medicines have anticholinergic effects, and this can worsen some types of glaucoma. You should not take any medication with this warning until you clear it with your ophthalmologist. … [Read more...]
Is Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension linked to my already diagnosed High Blood Pressure?
September 4, 2009 By
I was already diagnosed with HBP and now after going to the doctor a few days ago, I was told that I have Pulmonary Artery Hypertension. I was just wondering if the PAH was a result of the initial HBP I already had. Thx. You don't give your age,the remainder of your medical history,your medication history,ethnic origin.occupational history nor smoking history,any of which might be linked to your PAH. It is not linked to hypertension,in fact most is of unknown aetiology. It may be linked to COPD which is why I asked about smoking history. I assume that you have neither CHD,sickle cell anaemia or mitral valve disease as I am sure you would have mentioned them,all can lead to PAH. … [Read more...]
