  • Blood pressure control? Stop obsessing about your blood pressure numbers. This video focuses on why we shouldn't worry about the blood pressure readings obsessively and what you should be doing instead.

    Follow Dr Joe on facebook / thedrjoe
    Yes, the blood pressure readings are important but worrying so much about your readings makes you forget some of the basic things you should be doing to control your blood pressure. This is about high blood pressure: why we shouldn't worry about the number. I think Sanjay of York Cardiology has done a similar video to this. We're both stressing about the importance of worrying less about the blood pressure number and focusing on other things that are more important.
    You will learn the things you need to be doing to control your blood pressure. The important things you want to focus on when your blood pressure is high. I also talk about the limitations of the high blood pressure guidelines.
    Learn the risk factors for high blood pressure and what to do about them to control your blood pressure.

    Thank you, Dr! You’re right! My blood pressure shot up to 180 or 190/100 and has remained at 150/90 despite my taking meds twice a day since my husband died about a month and a half ago. It wasn’t like this before. It was always 120/80 before my husband died. Anxiety does play a huge part!

      that's cool. do you have the other risk factors. one of my friends is combining a keto type diet with interment fasting but i'm so confused if thatsvall safe. Sounds it. in his case, his DNA comes from india and artery clogging is the risk factor he's worried about. Another co-worker, who is white is skinny fat and had a heart attack, reduced sodium and eats more fiber. no clue how that helps or what meds he takes.

    • @drjoetvMD
      @drjoetvMD  Před 5 lety +1

      @@gejost Yes, keto does seem to help some people overcome their insulin resistance. Intermittent fasting certainly does help. I do it and still do it. There are different approaches and some work for others but not the rest. I have friends doing keto but my advice to them is; even if it is working for you, please keep an eye on your blood lipids because keto is essentially a fatty diet and some people don't handle their lipids very well. He should check his blood lipids every 6 months, if keto is his thing.
      Your skinny fat friend is doing the right thing. She's skinny on the outside but fat on the inside. Upping her fiber intake is a great way to deal with her visceral fat. Ask her to eat more pulses too.

    Im so happy I found you today I want to cry. The doctor wanted to send me to the hospital today due to my BP 188/118. My BP always shoots up when I go to the doctor. Ive been in therapy for anxiety for 5 weeks now due to some things that have occured. My BP was going down really well then shot back up. When I say shot back up, I mean averaging 140s/90s. Ive been taking my BP at least 9 times a day, and although I had the numbers for the doctor, they still wanted me to go to the ER. That gave me more anxiety, and I started crying in the office. Smh. When i left and arrived home, my BP was down to 160/101 due to the anxiety at the office. I waited, took a deep breath....133/93. I could go on with this story, but God had you pop up in ny video feed. I was stressing so bad. I lost 12 lbs in the last 35 days just by changing my eating habits, exercising, sleeping, and going to therapy. Thanks for helping us!
    Oh yeah, I notice that when I go days or a week without checking my BP, it goes down. I can't keep obsessing about this. I take COQ10 in the form of Ubiquinol, krill oil, and I drink beet root powder at night.

    Happy I found your channel. Earlier this year I started having bad anxiety and along with that I started having high bp diastolic readings, I started taking hawthorn and garlic extract right away along with ant anxiety herbs. My husband tells me the same thing to stop obsessing over my bp readings because that keeps the readings high. Now that I saw your video I’ll listen and stop obsessing.

    • @drjoetvMD
      @drjoetvMD  Před 3 lety

      @@kaye3543 The only way to equalize blood circulation to lower your blood pressure readings will be through exercise. There are some exercises that favour blood pressure reduction and I shall be talking about them sometime soon.
      As for Cayenne tea, there's a chance it could reduce blood pressure. I haven't tried it myself but because cayenne peppers have potassium, it should work in theory. Cayenne tea is just a little too spicy for me though, so it's not one of my favourites. Especially when there are non-spicy alternatives that should help with BP reduction.

    • @drjoetvMD
      @drjoetvMD  Před 3 lety +5

      You don't need to check that frequently. Here is the thing. If you are doing all the right things, your BP will improve unless your BP has hit your kidneys badly where you are now CKD stage 3 or 4 or 5. Even if you are CKD stage 2, you'll still do very well. So long as you are on track, your BP will improve and you'll develop the confidence to check your BP. Your 1st reading may be somewhat high from anxiety but when you are confident, your 2nd check in the same BP check session will be better and your 3rd too

    Great video! Although I was only checking it 3 times a day, I WAS worrying and thinking about it too much. Normally a little self-hypnosis and deep breathing gets to back to normal on the rare occasions it spikes high, but it got bad for a week after a trauma was triggered. After watching your video I feel MUCH better - I have NO risk factors and already quit smoking and heavy drinking decades ago. Time to stop worrying and go back to enjoying life and healing other issues like fibro pain. I wish more doctors had your attitude!

    Everything you say is true - anxiety attacks do raise the bp. It is just like when you go to the doctor, the bp reading is always high; I used to call it 'white coat syndrome'. People have to stop obsessing about hpb. I used to be very conscious of it but now I do not anymore. Instead as you said, focus on lowering the risk factors and all will fall in place. I wear a smart watch which checks the bp also so once a day I will check it and it is normal. Thanks for your detailed explanation Dr. Joe.

    @Total_Body_Fitness_USA Před 5 lety +56

    I've been in the health and fitness industry for nearly 30 years with an emphasis in functional medicine the last 5 years and I use to have an obsession of checking my blood pressure even though I don't even have high BP. I'm 54 and my morning BP averages about 95/60 and my evening BP averages about 110/70. I am 5'8" and weigh 160 pounds about 14% body fat. My clients ask me all the time what do I do to keep my BP so good and I tell them I grew up in sports, never been overweight, never smoked, never drank alcohol, and really never ate red meat. I just recently cut back on grilled chicken and started doing more greens, vegetables, and certain fruits as I am doing a liver detox and the less meat you eat the better it is.
    One thing I do recommend to my own clients is taking 2g of Nordic Natural Omega 3s per day along with 12mg Astaxanthin to prevent fat/cholesterol oxidation. I also recommend a mixed tocopherol/tocotrienol vitamin E (400IU), liposomal form of vitamin C (1000-2000mg) per day, and I strongly recommend two ounces of beetroot extract, 1 ounce of pomegranate extract, and 3500mg L-Citrulline to act as a natural vasodilator. Also, if you suffer from anxiety then YOU MUST take 100mg of Doctors Best Magnesium Glycinate 4X per day with meals and I almost guarantee it will work miracles for you when it comes to calming down the sympathetic nervous system. As a matter of fact if I start to feel anxious I can take 200mg with 8 ounces of water and feel completely calm within 30 minutes! This is my go-to miracle pill for anxiety and I recommend it to all my clients with magnificent results.
    And, like Dr. Joe said, STOP checking your BP. One time I checked it and it was what I thought was a little high at 130/80 and about freaked. I checked again and it was in the 150s. Checked again and it jumped to 172/95. This was just 2 years ago and I went to the ER because of a major panic attack. At the ER it was 180/100. Needless to say my hospital visit was over $20K because they ran so many tests on my brain, heart, etc. and all was fine. I basically freaked myself out. So, now if I start to feel anxious - especially after eating (which I contributed to mild constipation and a sluggish gallbladder), I take 200mg of my magnesium glycinate and I calm right down. I don't dare check my BP because I already know what will happen! After cutting back on meat of all kind and increasing my vegetable and fruit intake my anxiety has lessened dramatically. Goes to show you how your gut function has so much to do with the parasympathetic/sympathetic nervous system.
    Hope this helps someone and thank you for your video, Dr. Joe! Keep up the good work.
