I was a 40yo, went to my doctor for the first time in 15 years. My blood pressure was 180/120, he sent me for tests and I had type 2 diabetes. Two years later my blood pressure is usually around 125/80, i reversed my diabetes. All this with no meds just exercise and a change in diet.

I so agree with you. The pattern here in the United States is to promote medicine. I watched another video, created by a teaching physician, prepared for future doctors to use in preparation for their exams, and that video categorized blood pressure medications and exposed the very real side effects that, long-term, are worse than the hypertension itself.

Agree. Doctors want you on BP medications, and the doom and gloom mentality is to common. I honestly think its why the BP standards were changed, so even people in the 120s would have to be put on something. To many people getting off meds, they got to get them back on Pharma drugs to make the companies money.

They seemed to think that the only thing available is b/p medications. Never ever thought of trying to see what is causing the high b/p in my body.

fear is a doctors friend, it means you will do what he wants you to do, maybe the doctor really believes the bp being high is super dangerous or maybe he is trying to get more money out of you, who knows, another is how many people were fine until they suggested this test or that test for cancer and theyfind polyps and scare you into getting them removed (costing thousands) or getting cancer gettting chemo, when you were not sick and how many people did not get the tests died of other causes other than cancer many years later and never knew they had cancer.

Marilyn King Went to one of those doc in a box places several years ago for a terribly sore throat..turned out nothing major, no strep or anything but my blood pressure was quite elevated b/c of the stress of the pain (could hardly swallow) and I definitely have white coat hypertension. Anyway, after the nurse took my bp he comes in and starts asking if my chest hurts. I said no, not until now! Anyway he put me on the pills and all my self checks were fine...until I went back for a follow up! You guessed it..high again! It did spur me into action though to lose weight and kick the pills but I have always felt the true cause of it was the stress of having it taken in the doc’s offic3 and the resulting conversation about it.

So, I am going to stop drinking, and do intermittent fasting, because apparently I am now on the low end of Diabetes. I will turn that around also.

I started walking, try to cut out sugar and salt, and started eating more healthy foods. After a week my figures are starting to come down

Thank you! Sure wish the doctors around here thought the way you do, doctor, about investigating it further, than just ripping off a sheet from Rx pad. Seems the drs, and some NPs, at the med school where my dr is, has the BP taken as soon as you walk into the room! LPN sets the machine to take it twice in a row within a couple minutes, then leaves the room. I have been over and over about this with them about letting me sit for awhile before taking it. They claim it doesn't matter. I have read that it does. Also, Not to have our legs crossed, but have feet flat on the floor, and have arm supported, and not hanging down. I have checked it at home, and when I did those steps, my readings were lower. When I did them at the dr office last few times, they were amazed that my BP was lower. I told them about the position to take the BP correctly, and they just scoffed, claimed they had nothing to do with it!! So, they are Not assuring their help staff is instructing patients how to sit properly, they leave the room, and then if someone's BP is higher, they push BP meds?!? I see some weird pattern, here. Kickbacks? They have denied kickbacks. I still suspect, otherwise, they would be interested in taking the BP correctly!! And yes, they want me to take those meds. I have refused them. They are so darn obsessed by the BP readings, but not interested in it being taken correctly. And not interested in anything else but meds for it. And they are at a medical school.🙄🤔🤨

But you will note in the Media Indian men are never shown, only their women, in adverts, even when cooking you will have a Black chef, and Italian chef, and Irish Chef, a Russian Chef, Au Aussie Chef, a Kiwi Chef, making Indian food. Indian males are persona non grata in this country. watch the BBC and you will see over 82 Indian women, and the ITV are even worse to every 1 Indian presenter. Yet the Indian males (Hindu and Sikh) are the ones who amalgamate and integrate. But they are never shown. They want the women, the food, the Yoga, Culture but not the Indian male! Thats the reality. After the BLM and death of Floyd the Brits and media will bend over backwards to have blacks everywhere over 180 Indian males have died but this has never been exposed and because Hindu and Sikhs do not become violent or pander to the media these are the forgotten!

Yes, this doctor is right, normal blood pressure seems to be different for everyone, you have to find it for you.

I took the meds till they run out and then was always slack being young and didn't keep a check on it. Every pregnancy they of course put me on meds.

Have found this at a late date but presume that you are still up to date. I am a retired G.P. and have always attempted to look for causes of disease rather than just the signs of disease. Since retirement in the NHS I have focussed on psychotherapy/ mentoring and the physical effects of life style and cultural habits which lead to physical damage. It is a breath of fresh air to hear your analysis which I fully agree with. It is time that medicine is taught in a more holistic way including all of the nitty gritty of our physical machine as well the fundamentals of our external impacts. The individual is a part of a wider whole.

I’m a healthcare worker and was mandated to get Covid vaccines or get fired, my 11 year relationship ended, and then my mother who was 79 got a new dx of cancer requiring a BTK amputation despite treatments. This left me with stress induced hypertension and despite years of meditation practice I have not been able to adequately get it down to what it was prior. So now I’m on medication. My goal is to get off of it. Thank you for this video. If I look at a BP monitor my BP goes up! I know I have to do better with more exercise and less work and stress.

I certainly try to change my diet. But how can i. On low income. We all should be able to fix or prepare any food we all love to eat. Where.s the beef. Chicken. Pork bacon and pork chops etc. All org a nic. Wow. I need some help here. We all cant live on salad alone. Or juices. Milk. Etc. Im lost. Thank you. Love you all. Keep on keepin on. Pray to jesus for help with everything including all the food to. Thank jesus daily for what we have today cuz tomorrow may never come. Thank jesus for what he did on the cross for.us all. Oh. Before i forget. I ask my doctor can you write me a long perscription. She said for what. I said. All organic foods meats salads dressings fish cooking oils and what resturaunt do you eat at. That is reasonable priced. How much is your grocery bill weekly and what do you eat and what store do you shop at. That way when we all can change our diets we wont need to worry about the eating habits of measuring 4 oz. Of this and that. Our. Stomachs can only hold so much food anyway. But depriving pople of the food they was rsised on and love. Thats pretty bad. Food should never be taken away from anyone. This is our bodies to feed for our lives to live. Our life to live that jesus gave us to explore the beauty and greatness of this land he provided for all of us. When we have our health we have everything. As i told my. Doctor again. The food keeps all of us alive and organic water to. Skip the faucet filter thing. Thats no good. Now it sure would be nice or super great if. All the doctors would be food doctors instead of pill poping doctors. We all would live longer and you all can make more money than ever. Then we all get our check ups with a clean bill of health. Now if we break a leg arm or need surgery of any kind. I dont know. But some kind of healing leaves from a forest to heal the body of. Whatever the surgery is. And the broken part would heal. Maybe a week or less. No pain whatsoever at anytime. Then all doctors would. Be blessd in a very special way. All doctors suppose to help save lives not kill people. Jesus does the healing. The doctors is given the brains to do the surgeries etc. With the knowledge they are gifted with. They are a servant to jesus this w a y. So my doctor was very speachless and she didnt say a word other than besure to get your. C.vaxx shot at walgreens and set appt. For your mammogram and see you in february. I said thank you. I took my mammogram got the letter and i was negative. No problems. Love you all. I do pray for you all.may god bless.

I don’t know how I ran into your video, but it came @ the perfect time and I needed to hear this. I just happened to be going through this same exact dilemma about my BP all of a sudden becoming high. In the past week, I had been having a migraine for like 6 days in a row, taking Advil & excedrin, but it would come back. So I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to go to an urgent care facility and my BP was 160! They gave me 2 Tylenol and a shot of Motrin in the arm and said go see your Dr. So I go to see an emergency cardiologist. My pressure was now 150 and 155 in the other arm. I told the Dr that I don’t want to be put on meds, we came to an agreement about making lifestyle changes. He leaves and comes back with a heart monitor, prescribes me a medication…does not tell me it’s a “BP medication” and wants me to come back in 2 weeks for a stress test. I took the medication, my migraine went away, but then I decided to look up what this medication was, (Metoprolol Tartrate). I did not know that it was a BP medication; this is not what we had agreed on and it said that it had to be taken for the rest of my life and that is not what I wanted to do. So I stopped taking them after 3 doses. I hope I’m not doing myself harm by stopping without consulting with him. This is a new Dr and doesn’t know anything about my health. I’m just hoping that with this heart monitor and the stress test, that he can get to the bottom of my issue and not have to prescribe me any BP medication.

YES !! This is why I don’t go to the doctor, they all just want to give you a prescription for whatever symptom it is, instead of trying to find out what’s causing it. Why can’t they be like you 🤔❤️🤷♀️

I don't find that all doctors want to give meds but I have to look for doctors open to blended medicine. Warn them upfront that you are looking for options in your solutions, referrals to others such as nutritionists. Be willing to explore those options. Most people would rather take a pill than make a lifestyle change and doctors get frustrated in this area also. Challenge them to be better doctors and I've found I get better results.

This is an excellent video on this much discussed subject. However, there is something that the majority of healthcare professionals seem to ignore. As an ex-hydraulic engineer I know a lot about line pressure and what influences it. One thing that always increases line pressure is restricting the flow by say partially closing a valve or squashing the pipeline. This is exactly what happens when one's blood-pressure is measured in the conventional way by compressing an artery. The mere action of measuring the pressure therefore increases it!

I have always tested "high normal", my wife and my doctor finally convinced me to go on a light dose. I immediately went listless and impotent. my wife decided I was right in not being on the pills and as soon as I quit them I got my mojo back and never looked back. my recent checkup declared I was in great shape, just needed a little more vitamin D. I will be 67 in Oct. I take Garden of Life vitamin and minerals for 55 and wiser men, plus fish oil, MCT oil, Turmeric-Curcumin, and glucosomine-condroitin for my joints. I weigh 165 and can still outrun everyone in my family. 4 years ago I was found to be type 2 diabetic and went on a healthier diet and started with the suppliments and lost 40 pounds over the next 2 years. at the end of the first month I was off the metformin and my blood sugar has remained normal. our bodies are constantly rebuilding themselves and it makes sense to give them the right building blocks. I got a wakeup call at 60 and took action and I am now healthier than I was at 50

Thanks doc ! I’m so happy to come across this video because it’s highly applicable to my condition. My BO numbers have been high ranging 140/90 -150/95 . I have been avoiding medication because I truly want to change the underlying causes as you mentioned. Last week after 3 days a of yoga meditation retreat done at home my numbers came down to 120/80 because my mind was so relaxed but a week later it has gone up. Im exercising more , reduced salt intake & practicing calming techniques.

Thanks for another great presentation. I use resistance breathing to bring my BP down. Works great. Also I have learned after 25 years dealing with palpitations that drinking a couple ounces of ginger ale and getting a good burp will bring heart beats back to normal. Our body is an amazing machine. I will be 85 soon and love knowing what to do without panicking every time. Gives you more control. God Bless!

Great to hear a common sense explanation. My previous GP demonstrated that my first blood pressure test at a visit was high, but he chatted for ten minutes, checked it again and it had dropped from 160 + to around 150. After chatting for another ten minutes he did a third check and it had dropped to low 140s. He convinced me that there was nothing to worry about. Currently, the new GP is checking every week and trying hard to get a steady low figure below 140 with pills. I sense that this is not a good idea, and I appreciate your assurance.

I can barely get the doctor to look at me when I’m sitting in front of him/her, they talk to me while looking & typing on their computer, I answer while they still looking at the computer, would like to ask them these questions if they even gave me the time 😏 leave there confused 😐 I get more out of watching your channel I learn more, and then I go research how to help myself holistically, it’s working, Thank you for taking the time making these videos, most docs only interested in bums on seats, they not interested in you as an individual, and it’s great to see that many people are learning to take their health into their own hand, yes get the diagnosis from him then go figure what’s going to work for you

Rose Marchant you need to look for a new Dr. Use pauses when speaking to the Dr. pause when he/she is looking away and start the conversation when eye contact is made. They will soon pick up on your queues. Then add something like I’m just making sure your getting everything noted correctly because if you go over their notes you will see they don’t always include all the signs and symptoms you describe. I had that issue before.

The thing that makes the blood pressure go up is the mention of doctors at least in my book. But I like how this guy thinks that one blood pressure number is not the same for everybody. It's the same with weight loss and diet. Changing the num6dont change what's wrong, which is why I like naturopaths who treat whole body not just symptoms.

Thank you Dr! I wanted to verify your comments about the value of trying an automated 24-hour monitor and encourage that. I was getting very high readings at the doctor (NYC, USA) well over 150/90 I think I had a 170/110 more than once and I knew it was due to being stressed/ white coat syndrome. I am (and was at the time) a very fit, lean middle-aged guy, with a very good diet. So I wore a 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) from my doctor which took readings every hour. I somehow felt more relaxed having the machine do the work and obviously, at night when you are asleep, the truth surely comes out. BP result came back with a day average of 124/68 with a night low of 112/54. It's sketchy that a doctor could have easily put me on tablets based on several readings at a practice. Also the whole framing of high BP as a "silent killer" is kind of fear porn albeit with some truth.

This was the best overview of BP have heard to date and I really appreciate that you shared it with all of us. What I liked the best was explaining the factors of why blood pressure increases, for instance the heart needing to pump more blood to feed the fat cells in an overweight person. For me visualizing the reason for a problem is key and you've done that for us here. Thank you so much Dr. Gupta and I look forward to more of your fantastic videos!
