Time to Change Our Mindset About High Blood Pressure



Hypertension, like our temperature, is a important indication informing us something about our body. It is informing us that something is incorrect. Yet, paradoxically, we have come to perspective the important indication as an sickness that has to be handled by drugs. We do not perspective a high temperature in the same way; we cure the cause of the high temperature. We need to change our attitude about great system stress.

We need to eliminate the idea that great system stress is an sickness or condition that can be treated by getting drugs. Even if the medicine does lower our great system stress, it is healing the indication not the cause of our situation. It is the actual cause that must be handled otherwise it will continue to persist and that could be critical to our wellness.

Unlike a high temperature where the cause can be quickly determined and suitable therapy recommended, there are many potential causes of great system stress. Your doctor does not have enough a chance to check for each possible cause until he or she discovers the actual reason for your situation. It is faster and easier for them to recommend drugs to reduce your great system stress and to give general advice about diet plan, getting more work out and reducing bodyweight.

"The doctor has given me a pill, so I must be ill" is the wrong way to perspective your situation. Instead, we should be working with our doctor to recognize the actual cause of our situation and to be securely weaned of the drugs we have been getting.

The kick off point is our way of life. We need to follow the DASH diet plan for a few weeks at least and to take physical work out. This will help us shed bodyweight at a stable and safe rate. During now we should be tracking and producing our own great system stress every day. We should also keep a log of what we eat plan, work out and bodyweight. If our great system stress is on a downwards tend during now, we know that the actual cause of our problem was most likely caused my inadequacies in what we eat plan which we have repaired. With this information, we can help our doctor plan the best course of strategy to us.

If, despite enhancing what we eat plan and becoming more active, our situation shows no indication of improvement, we have the proof to show our doctor. He or she can then check for other possible causes of our great system stress, such as heart problems, kidney failing, serious stress or severe coronary artery disease. This will devote some time as each possible cause will have to be examined. During this period, it is important to maintain our way of life upgrades as these will have a positive benefit on our overall wellness.

Having great system stress is like being in a box. There are more than 300 ways of getting into the box, but we can only get out the way we got in. It is our liability to help our doctor find how we got into the box and to assist him or her in planning the quit that naturally profits our great system stress to normal levels.
