A study found that watching YouTube videos on blood pressure increases the blood pressure by 10 points.

Keep stress down by staying off social media and the news!

When I was stopping drinking (6 years now), my BP hit 226/160. I am proud to say 110/75 these days. Much happier person.

One critical piece of information for everyone to consider. The current blood pressure recommendation by American Heart Association (AHA) is 120/80. Previously, prior to pharmaceutical companies providing funding to AHA it was 140/90. As soon as big pharmaceutical companies started providing funds to AHA, the current recommendation of 120/80 was adopted. Ask yourself whether this was truly done because of health reasons or to help pharmaceutical companies sell more drugs, in return for them providing funding to AHA?

I'm 71 years young, and the other day I went to the VA for my yearly check up. The nurse checked my blood pressure was 181 over 90, she waited about 10 min. and it went down to 127 over 75...just relax and everything will return to normal. Relax, that is the key, take deep breaths, and you will see the difference.

I am doing these to control my BP: 1. Stopped drinking 2. Never smoke 3. Sleep more 4. Exercise 2 hrs/day 5. Taking multivitamins A-Z 6. Drink more water with lemon (no sugar) It’s under control after 3 months.

Everytime the medical bills shows up in my mail box..my BLOOD PRESSURE goes up...whew!

Systolic / Diastolic. Top number called systolic can be remembered by thinking above sky letter "S" for systolic. Bottom number called diastolic can be remembered by thinking below dirt letter "D" for diastolic S sky. D dirt.

I am 62 years old, and recently I was given a warning that my blood pressure was high while sitting down. Just 6 months ago I went to a hospital and did a resistance test ( two of them) and my blood pressure was fine. So, I bought a blood pressure monitor and keep a track of that info to give to my doctor when I see him in three months. Thank you for this video, it gave me important information.

62 year old Mechanic, feeling rundown, to the doctor first time in 20 years for a blood-pressure check 7 days ago: 220/116 heart rate 95, Sp02 96 (i have a picture of the hospital monitor). After a tab of Nitro Glycerin, the Emergency room diagnostic (x-rays, ct scan, blood work-ups, etc.) revealed 3 problems: 1. Hypertensive crisis 2. Kidney Disease (early stages) 3. An "anomaly" on/with my Thyroid My heart, lungs, and vessals show no damage or issues. No diabetes, no liver problems (I drink), no virus or infections. They sent me home with 30 - 10mg tabs of Lisinopril (1 a day) until my Specialist visit 1/19/23. Relaxing (trying to) at home with a complete change of food & drink, my blood pressure is hovering around the 190/117 area. Still incredibly high numbers. And that's all i know for now.

I just took my BP using my VA issue cuff. It’s 128/73 pulse is 60. For being 65, I think that’s okay.

My blood pressure, goes up, as soon as I visit the clinic, and have to wait, because, there are lots of people, before me. Stress.

I'm 62 years old. I used to have high blood pressure. The keto diet has brought it down to 110/70 👍

I’ve been a registered nurse for 35 years. Your diastolic which is the pressure when your heart is it rest is the most important simple as that.

I just saw this video and find it very helpful. Thanks for producing it. I take blood pressure medication for years and I also do a lot of work out, especially cardio work out and I keep my numbers down. My doctor is very pleased with it. Also when you control your sugar and your A1C is down to normal your pressure also stays down. That's how it works for me.

Disabled vet; have ptsd with several anxiety disorders. Agoraphobia being the worst. Leaving home for Dr appt - BP is always high. Have numerous physical issues- a lot of appt’s 😣. Have a BP monitor- have normal bp🤷🏽‍♀️.

All I do is walk into the doctor's office and my pressure goes up.

In the 1970s I was running and cycling competitively. My pulse was 42. BP was 140/60. A physician told me this was an athlete's heart. The low pump rate necessitates a higher systolic number just to get circulation. 12 years ago, at age 60 my BP was 140/85 so my physician prescribed lisinopril (5mg). I actually forgot I had those pills. I've since gone on a low carb regiment and my BP is 110/65 average. The advice I would like to give is that keeping to a non-metabolic syndrome routine is what will benefit you most. keto or similar is very effective. I also had a recent CAC test (cardiac calcium) and tested at 23. Look that up - it is the most effective predictor of heart problems and it's inexpensive. I surely hope somebody reads this.

I was put onto blood pressure meds, and at the time was drinking heavily. Stopped the alcohol, and my BP dropped significantly to the point where I no longer need medication.
