I’ve been in school 6 years and have never understood blood pressure like I do now after watching this video. Sometimes teachers makes the simplest things so complicated to learn. Thank you very much

Thanks for this video! I have high blood pressure issues since I'm 20 years old, in first glance it may look that your life is over, but if you really follow the medication, lose some weight and control anxiety or hard emotions, it can be controlled!!! I live a normal life with this problem and the only thing that can increase my blood pressure is anxiety and physical activity and is not that much

I have anxiety my blood pressure is in between 130-150 and I’m worried. The last time i checked it I got a reading of 150/90, 140/78 and 138/85. I do have a family history of high blood pressure from my mothers side only and I don’t want to go to the doctors

my blood pressure is normal when I measure at home. But it's high between 150-170/80-95 when measured at doctor shop. I have anxiety issues and I am overweight.

My husband was diagnosed with high blood pressure at 20 years old. He was given tablets after a heart attack when he was 48. He has been on a carnivore diet now for 3 months and his blood pressure is normal so is not taking blood pressure tablets. He is 79 years old now. He is angry that he has been taking medication all these years with the subsequent side effects when a change of diet would have been better and no side effects.

Hypertension is not a disease. I go to dialysis three times a week. My systolic has been as high as 221 for two weeks straight. I took a pill, it made me feel terrible.

I started Tai Chi. My systolic dropped by 20 from th first day. Wednesday L, I went to sleep. My systolic final standing pressure was 181. Today, I was able to play Tai Chi and my final pressure was 118 systolic. Conclusion, I have been lied to by doctors all my life.
