I have a lot on my plate at this time as usual. I
like to stay active with my training, making
videos, seeing patients, and writing. I am not one
to watch TV, go to bars, or just hang out and do
nothing. Today, I got a call from an old friend,
and she asked me if I took my blood pressure
lately. I thought it was strange for her to ask me
that out of the blue. As soon as we hung up, I
took my pressure. And as sure as I am sitting
here, as long as I can remember, my blood pressure
has been 120/80.
There are two parts or two separate numbers
referred to as blood pressure (BP):
systolic/diastolic. If the top number is high, it
refers to the systolic pressure (that’s anything
over 150 and up), and the diastolic pressure is
the second number anything over 85. Why do we get
high blood pressure? For most adults, there’s no
identifiable cause, and this kind of hypertension
is referred to as Stage 1 or primary hypertension.
It just tends to develop gradually over many
years. On the other hand, stage 2 hypertension is
a little different. Some people have high blood
pressure caused by an underlying condition. This
type of high blood pressure, also known as
secondary hypertension, tends to appear suddenly
and cause higher blood pressure than do primary
hypertension. Various conditions and medications
can lead to secondary hypertension, including:
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Kidney problems
• Adrenal gland tumors
• Thyroid problems
• Certain defects in blood vessels you’re born
with
• Certain medications, such as birth control
pills, cold remedies, decongestants,
over-the-counter pain relievers and some
prescription drugs
• Illegal drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines
• Alcohol abuse or chronic alcohol use
I don’t have or do any of that, so why the heck is
my BP high today? Pain! If you have been reading
my blogs, you know that I broke my wrist last
week. Although it’s healing well, it inflamed and
pinches me now and then. That could be the reason
for the BP spike. As soon as I was aware of it, I
began doing the exercises in the Turn Stress into
Power program http://www.on2url.com/lnk?MTUxNjc4MnwxMzAzNDU3OTN8cz0x and, within an
hour, my pressure was back to normal.
If you are in pain, or have a tendency to run full
out and be one of those obsessive-compulsive
types, chances are you will raise your blood
pressure as well. It could lead to a multitude of
unwanted problems. How can you control it without
meds? Get a copy of the Turn Stress Into Power
Program http://www.on2url.com/lnk?MTUxNjc4M3wxMzAzNDU3OTN8cz0x and start practicing.
You’ll be glad you did.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and
Happiness!

mind, and spirit. http://www.on2url.com/lnk?MTUxNjc4NHwxMzAzNDU3OTN8cz0x
