Knowing and monitoring your BP is critical. Glad to hear your headaches have gone now your bp in under control. Headaches were the main symptom for Steve when he was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Though he ignored them for a long while! His story sounds similar to yours http://www.my-health-software.com/view/items/high-blood-pressure.html Thanks Kellie Hi Scot, good advice! Knowing and monitoring your BP is critical.

Get a fasting insulin level done and if it's over 10 then you need to change your diet to an insulin lowering diet, ie a low carb diet. Lean proteins, vegetables, berries, nuts, eggs and good fats will do it. Put another way, avoid all sugary foods, breads, rice, potatoes, starches, juices, sweets, etc. Good luck.

Its because I was having headaches. So I started taking my medication and I felt really great afterward. I would recommend getting your blood pressure checked to anyone who has even slight symptoms!

Salt has little if any effect on BP and there is no study ever done to prove that restricting salt brings about health benefits. Actually restricting salt can CAUSE high BP in some people. If you do eat a lot of salt you get thristy and drink water. The salt then is easily excreted in the urine. People with kidney impairment of course need to watch there electrolytes and they are the only people who should be concerned about salt intake. That being said, like all things moderation is a prudent course to take. I highly recommend that people use sea salt instead of pure NaCl (table salt). http://www.junkscience.com/dec04/jsa200409.html Please don’t fall for the scare tactics on salt.

I think it's good to know what blood pressure really means. Sometimes at the Dr's they can assume that patients with high blood pressure know the basics. I am passionate about self awareness and knowing as much as you can about your health as possible! Thanks HNW! I think it’s good to know what blood pressure really means.

I spent New Years Day in Royal Perth Hospital Emergency after my BP for no reason hit 180/104 pr75. Loss of vision and severe pain down my R arm from the shoulder to the wrist. After scans, blood tests, ECGs you name it could not find the cause, but did the right thing and got in fast. It was certainly scary for a while. Always useful..

It is a nice summary of blood pressure, so I thought I would dig it out, add a video, and republish it. Thanks! Steve Kellie wrote this article a few years back.
