I wonder at the fact that there are so many people that are walking around with high blood pressure and don't realize it, yet if left unchecked it can lead to dangerous health problems. I know why people go unchecked because I used to be one of them, it is easy to just plod along and not think about health issues especially when you don't feel sick.
You see there is not normally any kind of signs that your blood pressure is high and this is why it can be so dangerous. So even if you feel in tip top conditon it is still worth the small effort involved to check out your BP. It can be done easily your self with a home blood pressure monitor, or a quick trip to your Doctors office, it only takes a few minutes.
Hypertension is not only something that can affect the old, it has no real boundaries to age, so if your excuse for not getting it checked is because your young, that is no excuse. It is best to get your blood pressure checked at least once a year if it is normal and may twice to four times if you have or have had hypertension.
If your blood pressure turns out to be high after you have had a test, this won't mean that you have to take medication to reduce it immediately. Instead it can be brought down naturally through some different things that involve your lifestyle.
Consult your Doctor and share with them your current lifestyle, what you eat in a typical week and what sort of exercise your body gets in a week. This will highlight to the Doctor where any changes can be made to help reduce your BP.
This is where the effort from you will then be required, you will have to follow the Doctors advice on the changes to your lifestyle if you have any chance of normalizing your blood pressure and it will also then need to be ongoing if you want to keep it that way.
A balanced healthy diet and a good regular exercise routine does really have an affect on how healthy your body is on a whole, including blood pressure. A few things to try and avoid if you are trying to reduce your BP is salt, cigarettes and excessive alcohol intake. There are more but these are probably the first place to look at if you do any of them and you have had high blood pressure.
You owe it to yourself and family to take action on having a blood pressure check, so don't put it off any longer. Now is the time to get it sorted and if your blood pressure is normal then that it great, but it will still be worth evaluating your lifestyle to see if you can make improvements any way. If your BP happens to be higher than normal then commit to the changes needed in your life and bring it under control. - 29951
