What is high Blood Pressure?  Treatment for High Blood Pressure.

High blood pressure (Hypertension) is also known as the silent killer. Often presenting without any noticed symptoms, indicating the ‘silence’ of it.  The causes of primary hypertension are of unknown etiology.    As a rule of thumb, genetics often plays a role in the onset of primary hypertension, and other factors include dietary intake of salt, obesity, stress and other emotional issues. 

There are other causes and consequences of high blood pressure discussed here. 

What is high blood pressure - The causes

There are a few different mechanisms that cause high blood pressure (hypertension).  These include an increased fluid volume in the system (water retention) which causes an increased strain on the heart and higher pressure on the pumping action of the heart causing vasoconstriction. 

The sympathetic nervous system and the rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system are the main causes of high blood pressure as they both increase the cardiac output and induce vasoconstriction.  These are the affects of stress and water retention.

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is responsible for the fight-or-flight response. It is also constantly active at a cellular level maintaining balance and homeostasis.  When the flight-or-fright response has been activated and due to living in the 21st century this response is generally always activated causing the following: 

• Increased resting pulse.
• Dilated pupils.
• Reduced peristalsis and increased digestive disorders
• Increased cardiac output and vasoconstriction,
• Palpitations resulting in high blood pressure. 

These are the effects of ongoing stress on your body. You will find it beneficial to reduce these effects of stress by taking D-Stress.

The rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is a hormone system that regulates blood pressure and the fluid balance.  The kidneys secrete the hormone rennin when the blood volume is on the low side.  Rennin is the precursor to stimulate the production and release of angiotensin.  Angiotensin causes the blood vessels to constrict, resulting in the increased blood pressure.  Whilst this is happening the angiotensin also stimulates the secretion of aldosterone a hormone produced by the adrenal glands.  Aldosterone causes the increase in re-absorption of sodium and water from the tubules in the kidneys back into the blood.  This increases the fluid volume in the body, which alternately increases blood pressure.  If this system is too active the blood pressure will rise.  To treat high blood pressure naturally and reduce the effects of an over active rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, take D-Stress and Blood Pressure Drops formulated by Natural-Health.

The consequences of high blood pressure if left untreated include:

• adrenal gland overload, kidney failure, sympathetic nervous system hypersensitivity, and increased inability of dealing with stress causing anxiety and heart straining and failure.

What is High blood pressure - Signs and symptoms

• Dizziness
• Headachy
• Flushes face
• Nose bleeds
• Fatigue
• Nervousness
• Continued underlying anxiety
• Blood pressure reading >120/80

Treatment for High Blood Pressure

Treatment for high blood pressure depends on the cause of the high blood pressure.  The main causes are water retention and stress.  It is important to support your heart as well as treating the other causes, as the heart is a very important organ and could do with a little help too.  

The choice treatment for high blood pressure is Blood Pressure Drops. If you are a sufferer from ongoing stress, you will want to take D-Stress in combination with the Blood pressure Drops.

And if you retain water, you will want to take Water Balance in combination with the D-Stress and Blood Pressure Drops.
