Changing your life-style can lower blood pressure

By: Grojan Fabiola

When treating high blood pressure it helps a lot if it is
detected in an early phase, because it appears long time before
its symptoms and complications do.If it's detected early, much
of the damage it does to the organs in the body can be
prevented, and lowering blood pressure can be done easier. This
is the first step that should be taken in high blood pressure
treatment.

Afterwards, when what is called "pre-hypertension" is
discovered, several other things should be done in order to
lower the blood pressure.For example, patients should change
their lifestyle quite often. The doctors recommend this for
pre-hypertensive people. They are stating that life-style
changes helps lowering blood pressure a lot for them. If your
blood pressure reading starts exceeding 140/90 mm Hg, you can
treat yourself by changing your lifestyle and taking the
prescribed medicines. This, together with quitting smoking and
drinking significantly helps lowering blood pressure. People
must be made aware of these facts in order to help preventing
and/or lowering blood pressure, and to reduce the risks of heart
attacks and kidney failures.

As said before the blood pressure reading is very important when
trying to prevent hypertension. For example, if you discover
that the diastolic pressure is situated somewhere between 85 and
90 mm Hg you must consult a doctor and follow a different
treatment, because there have been cases where people with blood
pressure of these values suffered from end organ damage, and for
some patients aged around 65 years-old the risk of cadiovascular
damage increased when their diastolic blood pressure
increased.These patients were suffering from diabetes and were
smoking. Therefore it is recommended to immediately visit a
doctor and lower your blood pressure if the readings indicate
such levels.

Besides lifestyle changes of course, proper medication has an
important role in lowering blood pressure.Medication should be
administered right when high blood pressure is discovered in
order for it to have its best effects in lowering blood
pressure.If you suffer from high blood pressure and also
diabetes there are special drugs that help treating both in the
same time. Therefore, the conclusion is that in order to
successfully and quickly lower blood pressure it must be
discovered and treated while it is still in an early stage.
