Hypertension is a hidden?danger which effects millions of people. If you have been diagnosed with hypertension or high blood pressure you will have received a lot of medical information about it but you may still be feeling there is a lot more to know. There are lots of information available about how to treat it and a similar amount of information about it’s causes.
The best information I was given about hypertension from medical practitioners and patients is the following:
1. Stress can raise your blood pressure so try to do things which reduce your stress levels
Stressful situations can not be totally eliminated from our lives, but knowing what triggers your stress and stress relieving techniques which work for you can help you to deal with those situations in better ways
2. Do not treat it like it is a thing which is separate from you
when you do this you create a negative in-balance in your mind and body, this can cause more ill health
3. Incorporate it into your life;
this does not mean you have to accept that you?will always?have high blood pressure?but it if you take on?a sensible approach to eating, diet?and medication which are all found to be?beneficial to your well-being, you will be in part taking control of your blood pressure
4. Do not focus on it:
This may sound like it is?at odds with what I have said before but most medics are in agreement that although you will need to be monitored, thinking about things all the time which are worrying you will cause you more stress and may contribute to raised? pressure levels
5. Search out information about your well-being
This will? encourage you to take take actions which give you more of an informative guide to your well-being and especially information which helps you incorporate good practices into your life which help to look after you.
