According to the American Heart Association (AHA), about 65 million Americans over the age of 20 have high blood pressure. That is about one in three adults in the United States. Only about 63 percent of those with high blood pressure are only aware that they have it. The reasons so many people do not know they have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is that there are not really any clear symptoms of hypertension. In fact, according to the AHA, the cause of 90 to 95 percent of the cases of high blood pressure in America is not known. So why should a person worry if he or she has high blood pressure? Hypertension raises your risk for other health problems, including heart attacks and strokes. In 2010, more than 52,000 Americans died because of complications related to high blood pressure. The rate of death from high blood pressure increased nearly 30 percent between 1993 and 2004. It is important that we should get our blood pressure tested regularly and take corrective action if it is high. In fact we should take proper food and do exercise so that the B.P is under control. Often the only way a person finds out that they have high blood pressure is when their blood pressure is tested. Doctors have a variety of drugs in their arsenals to try but all of them have side effects. Doctors use following types of medicines for treatment of high blood pressure. Diuretics, Beta Blockers, and Ace Inhibitors. All these medicines have side effects. The main problem with diuretics is that they cannot distinguish between flushing out things that are good for the body and things that are bad. In addition to getting rid of excess water and salt, they can also rid your body of nutrients that might be helpful in lowering your blood pressure. Potassium is an example, which is an important ingredient for lowering of blood pressure. Diuretics remove many other electrolytes like calcium, potassium etc besides sodium, and that can cause weakness, dizziness and irregular heartbeat, among other problems. Side effects of beta blockers can include insomnia, cold hands and feet, tiredness and depression. People who have diabetes need to be monitored very carefully if they are taking insulin along with beta blockers. They increase asthma symptoms, lowered good cholesterol levels or an increased heart rate while side effects of ACE inhibitors include skin rashes, loss of your sense of taste, or a chronic, dry cough. In rare instances kidney damage can also occur. Because of these side effects it is better to control High Blood pressure through natural means which include changes in lifestyle, diet, proper exercise, use of Magnetics, Acupressure and use of herbs. This book helps you in managing your blood pressure through natural means without any side effects and remain healthy.
