2009 November 23

There are a number of problems with blood pressure (BP) reducing medications however. They do not cure the cause of high blood pressure but merely lower it while the drugs remain in your system.

This means that people usually have to take medications daily for the rest of their lives in order to keep their blood pressure at an acceptable level.

The other problem with hypertension medications (other than the cost) is a range of undesirable side effects such as:a persistent dry cough, headache, pounding heartbeat, nausea, weight gain, reduced libido, depression, insomnia, shortness of breath, sinus congestion… the list could go on.

Because of these problems a lot of people have been looking into how to reduce blood pressure naturally without the use of medications. Thankfully there are indeed ways to reduce high blood pressure naturally through diet and exercise.

Knowing what causes high blood pressure is important, as hypertension is a factor in heart attacks and heart disease. Given that heart disease accounted for 30% of deaths Worldwide in 2008 (source the World Health Organization) it is important that we know this information if we are not to be part of that statistic.

The problem is that, According to the American Heart Association, in more than 90% of high blood pressure cases the exact cause of our hypertension is unknown.

Just because we do not know the exact cause of our hypertension does not mean that we cannot do anything about it. On the contrary, the good news is that we can lower our high blood pressure quickly by making some simple lifestyle changes.

High blood pressure is a heath condition that affects the body in such a way that there may be no outright symptoms for a long period of time. The damage this health risk causes occurs inside the body and if left untreated and unchecked, the effects of high blood pressure on the body can be catastrophic.

The main body organs and/or parts that high blood pressure has a significant effect on a person are the heart, eyes, brain, kidneys, and the blood vessels.

The heart is the organ that pumps blood to the body. The effects of hypertension on the heart can be in different ways: For example, coronary artery disease can develop when hypertension causes the arterial vessels to become blocked so that blood cannot flow freely to and from the heart.

When this happens, angina or chest pain occurs; it can also result to irregular beating of the heat. These conditions, on the other hand, set in motion the onset of heart attack. An increased blood pressure also makes your heart work harder than usual in order to supply blood through your entire system.

As a result, this can lead to an enlargement or hardening of the left ventricle, which amplifies the risk to heart failure and cardiac arrest. Heart failure can also result from wearing down of the heart muscles because of high blood pressure.
