High Blood Pressure

THE BEGINNING: A few weeks ago, I went for a complete medical check-up and learned that I have fairly high blood pressure.

MY SELF-TEST: I borrowed a blood pressure machine and started experimenting with different techniques to lower blood pressure. In a weeks time, my blood pressure came down to a slightly higher than normal but I wanted to bring it to normal, therefore started experimenting with various methods.

MY EXPERIMENTS: Within a couple of days of experimenting, I was able to bring my BP down to normal by doing some quick meditations and relaxation routines. Then finally it took me about 2 minutes to bring it down to normal. Then I was able to figure out that if I think in a certain way, the BP remains normal and was not affected much. However, these meditations may be harder for people new to meditation, but there are other easier methods to accomplish just that. It does help to meditate on a paragraph from a book, a mantra like WAHEGURU, RAAM or AUM. The idea is to find ONE word mantra and use that for meditation. Meditation can be done on a picture or a sign. Buddhist people meditate on breathing - just be aware of in and out breathing by observing it.

I TRIED THE FOLLOWING HERBAL REMEDY ALSO: I took aged garlic capsules to help bring high blood pressure to normal, but it did take about 3 weeks to notice some initial improvement.

BLOOD PRESSURE OF A NORMAL PERSON: and my thoughts: A normal person is able to handle some stress and I feel it is essential. it is no different than the tension on the guitar strings to make it sound better. I feel that a person should be able to handle some stress. A person with normal blood pressure can run faster, lift weights, twist his body in many directions and he does not have to worry about getting a heart attack or some other serious condition. A person with high blood pressure is told to slow down, do easy exercises, some twisting exercises can be bad for him, meditate, do things that help release stress, and perhaps many other things. In a way, the person is never going to do the things that a person with normal blood pressure can do. He is told to take it easy and relax. The unhealthy person has to remain on a stress watch so that his stress level does not affect his blood pressure.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK WITH A DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING ANY EXPERIMENTS: These are serious issues that may require the individual's attention, for instance the person may be over weight, he may have high blood cholesterol and he may not have much flexibility. Therefore, the person has to correct some of the other imbalances alongside of lowering high blood pressure. As soon as some flexibility is noticed in the body, the cholesterol level is within normal range, and the blood pressure is also within the limits - this would be a time to start doing some of the things that the normal person is able to do, but a few minutes every now and then for the first couple of months, followed by relaxation exercises and meditations. The time frame after 2 months can be increased to a few more minutes.

This is very important to follow if a person wants to become normal again. Anyway I am not recommending it, but this is exactly what I have followed to correct my blood pressure issues. I strongly recommend checking with the family physician if someone wants to try this system of thought. There are many variables like cholesterol, flexibility, pulse and heart beat, which are very important to keep under control along with blood pressure, therefore, it is very important to check with the physician and go for regular tests.
