Today’s question is from Rose and she asks:
“How do you I know if I have blood pressure problems?… I think lately I’ve had it because I’ve been having headaches. How can I have healthy BP naturally?”
So here’s the truth — unless you take your blood pressure readings multiple times a day for a few days in a row, it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to know if you have chronic blood pressure problems.
This is because there is NO list of symptoms or “signs” of blood pressure problems…. And THIS is the scary part!
The Scary MYTH!
It’s a MYTH that people with blood pressure problems will experience symptoms, like nervousness, sweating, headaches, nosebleeds or facial flushing.
The scary fact is that the blood pressure problem is a symptomless “silent killer.”
If you ignore your blood pressure because you think a certain symptom or sign will alert you to the problem, you are taking a dangerous chance with your life.
This is a VERY important topic for me because I have a family history of blood pressure problems.
What really scared me personally at an early age is that my grandfather died immediately with his FIRST and ONLY stroke.
My uncle was handicapped and paralyzed for the rest of his life, with his FIRST and ONLY stroke.
Thus – NO warnings.
NO second chances.
NO opportunity to make changes or improvements.
The “Silent Killer”…
And this is why the blood pressure problem is known as the “silent killer”. Unfortunately, issues with blood pressure have become a “silent” epidemic.
Did you know that:
1/3 (35%) of adults over the age of 20 have blood pressure problems?…
Yet, 72% aren’t even aware that they have it. If you’re over the age of 50, man or woman… over 57% of the population has a blood pressure problems!
And if you’re over 60 years old, it’s a shocking 67% And it only gets worse…
About 84% of people having strokes have blood pressure problems. The fact is that blood pressure problem is a major cause of heart failure!
Even Worse Than Cholesterol!
And in my opinion, more important than cholesterol levels. This is why blood pressure drugs are the #2 most prescribed1 drugs in America.
And get this, there 11 different TYPES2 of “blood pressure” drugs. And a total of over 75 different medications!
And YET – this problem is getting worse each and every year mainly because the drugs just aren’t working.
Anyway, I mention all of this not to be a “downer” or to “ruin your day”.
But to emphasize the importance of making sure you have healthy blood pressure levels and not look for symptoms because there aren’t any reliable ones.
Because the statistics show that most of us have elevated blood pressure. So you and I need to make improvements in our lifestyle.
PLEASE – Don’t Be Another “Statistic”…
I don’t want you to be another statistic, like my own grandfather, uncle, and even my dad.
Forget about taking drugs – they don’t work and it’s not a good or safe long-term solution.
Natural options exist… it’s what I personally use for myself, as well as my family.
So please don’t feel “hopeless”. Simple, effective, proven, and safe solutions DO exist!…
I think we can all agree that healthy blood pressure is very important for your health, fitness & longevity (brain, heart, kidney & eye health, sexual performance, energy, etc.).
Unfortunately, most of us don't have the time, money or devotion to make big lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress management, etc.)
Well, the good news is that now you can quickly achieve your "healthy blood pressure" goals with ONE simple solution that's easy, convenient & requires NO lifestyle changes...
