About blood pressure

High blood pressure is a leading cause of illness and death in industrialized nations, primarily because it often goes undetected and untreated until it triggers a serious medical problem.  When your blood pressure is extremely high, you are more prone to stroke, heart attack, heart disease, and kidney damage or failure. 

What causes high blood pressure?

High blood pressure can be caused by a number of factors, but all of these factors can be made much more severe when there is stress and anxiety in the person’s life.  

Doctors have long suspected that too much stress can cause significant health problems, but only in the last twenty years or so have they begun to discover the full extent of how damaging stress can really be.  While stress and anxiety alone are generally not the primary causes of illnesses such as high or low blood pressure, they do tend to be significant contributing factors.     

If you have high blood pressure, one of the best things you can do to improve your condition is to learn and regularly practice relaxation techniques.  Learning to let go of stress and anxiety will calm your mind as well as your body, improving and strengthening your immune system along the way.  

Medication, diet, and exercise are still important and should be continued according to the directions of your physician.  You can supplement those treatments and support your good health further by focusing on relaxation and calming practices.  Learn how to let go of worry, anxiety and fear, and you make room for peace, calm, and health.

When you have high blood pressure, relaxation can help your body better control your condition and promote health and healing.  For instance, when you use a deep breathing relaxation technique you are able to fully oxygenate your blood, which benefits your vital organs.
