Most blood pressure is not taken correctly. Most diagnoses of hypertension are based on inaccurate measurements.

I'm an African American male. I'm 56 years old, 5'10 and 158 pounds. I have always had a regular exercise program, but when I turned 55 my blood pressure just shot up. I started doing a little research, and discovered that the foods that I eat have a direct effect on my blood pressure. As a process of elimination, oatmeal was a huge factor. I stopped consuming oatmeal, and my blood pressure dropped drastically. Popcorn! I ate a lot of popcorn. I cut that out. My BP dropped even more. Wheat bread, was another factor. Alcohol was also a big factor in my BP. I took on a Keto lifestyle by significantly reducing my sugar, carb and alcohol intake, and now my BP stays around 125/81. It's not perfect, but it is a long way from 178/96.

Actually 125/81 is pretty damn amazing.... If you want to try and be "perfect", you might want to try Ceylon Cinnamon a quarter to half a teaspoon in a Blueberry, Chia Seed and Banana smoothie. When I make a smoothie short of the kitchen sink being in there; I add minced walnuts, pecans and almonds, spinach, olive oil, honey, cayenne pepper 1/8 of a teaspoon, pineapple and Greek yogurt. It's a meal and it's real everything. Congratulations and fantastic job 👍 Frequently my blood pressure would be 180/110......a heart attack, several small strokes. I was a smoker, moderate drinker, ate poorly, so I had to get on board, do the meds and change everything with light meds now, the other day my readings were averaging 110/69!

Dr. Frita, I wished all doctors cared like this.

really, appreciate.I'm 40 years old.I snore too much and now I'm taking hypertension medication.Your advice helps me a lot.

thank you for this wonderful video Dr Frita! I have a question for you and I hope you can answer. What do you think about garlic as a remedy for high blood pressure? Do you think it could have a value as an adjunctive treatment and also a way for patients to be less dependent on pills?

Great information Dr. Frita!

Thanks for sharing this information. It's quite informative. I'm going to pass this message along to friends and family.

Thanks for all the information Dr. Frita

I have been diagnosed with Conns Syndrome Primary Hyperaldosteronism. For anyone with this the key ways I've found to combat it is a low sodium diet, no alcohol, no caffeine, plenty of water and plenty of exercise. After exercise my BP can drop to under 120/80. I'm on BP drugs but it's now under control after years of investigation.

Thank you dr. Frita for the excellent information

Really appreciate Dr.'s who take the time to share their knowledge. They have busy careers, and making videos takes time and effort. Many thanks.

Thanks beautiful Dr Queen .

Thank you for sharing, I have brain tumor and I have high blood pressure,and I understand a lot after I watch your video,Am scared the same time.

My 95 yo Mother was diagnosed with high blood pressure and given meds--her only meds. She died from an aortic aneurism. It was pressing on the kidneys driving the blood pressure up. Have know 3 men in their 50s that died during their sleep from the same....I only have HBP on waking and found that post-nasal dripping during sleep was driving it. Stopped sugar, etc. and now in normal range.

Dear Dr Frita. Quick question please, do people with high blood pressure due to hyperthyroidism take medication for life? If no, when approximately is medication normally stopped? Thanks for your answer in advance. And thanks for your life changing videos.

Wonderful information

Thank you Dr. Frita. Your information is life saving as always🙏

Thanks mam. good to learn something

Thank you for your video

Dr. Frida your really an angel saving lives out here one ear at a time.

Sodium, sugar, caffeine (in tea, coffee, chocolate), dehydration, and stress elevate my bp. Beets and cranberry juice help lower my bp quickly, though I stopped eating beets due to allergies. I try to keep my bp below 119/79. I consume very, very low amounts of sodium and sugar, not just throughout the day, but per whatever I consume. I exercise daily.

Thank you Doctor for the information. I'm 74 and I have had high blood pressure since I was 40 years old. I keep it under control with medication.

Thankyou Dr Frida

High carb diet or SAD diet was the reason I was on meds almost 9 years. I went low carb and unexpectedly my bp normalized in 4 days. Why? Because each gram of carb (I ate 200-300 grams a day) carries with it 4-5 grams of water. This burden of fluid drives BP up. I read books and watched videos like this and no change until I changed my diet. Just wanted to lose some weight and that happened after other chAnges happened. Also, I get to use more salt now and still by BP is 118/75. No meds since 2018, I’m 58 yo.

Dr Frita, thank you! Very clearly presented. I didn’t go on hbp meds until my early 60’s and this is genetic per family history. Dang….when I listen to all those OTHER symptoms, I start to feel every infirmity you mention 😜.

Dr Frita, can you explain hypetension in the upper body? What does it feel like? I am asking because I get pain in my arms down to my hands which may or may not end up with my hand numb for a while. when the pain comes it is excruciating and it is accompanied by high bp reading on my BP machine. Sometimes for the duration of the pain my arms are paralysed with pain.

I been on bp medication since my early 30s and it was always managed well. My readings were always really good while on bp. Now since I hit perimenopause my bp has been high during my cycles and heart rate as well. Then when am not on my cylce it returns back to normal. I was hoping to hear you speak on that topic . I have been put on bp medication twice a day since this whole roller coaster happened. I just want to know how to get it back to normal again while going through this change.

You all are over privileged class who refuses to acknowledge that fact! In America and only America you have the power and the right to become the biggest pos or the most successful person in the world..but guess what? It’s easier to be pos or barely making it and just complain complain complain than to go out there and work your ass off until you become what you desire! Who you are or who you become is up to you ! It’s not the country’s fault bc Africans from Africa come here and kick ass everyday, they are extremely successful group of people and they are foreigners that don’t even speak the language, or barely speaks it…same thing goes to Asians Indians and even most Hispanics! So you are the captain of your ship! Or you can hand over your ship to government and then you have no right to complain bc you made that choice

What are the symptoms of thyroid problems Dr Frith

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about kidney disease and high blood pressure, I have both. I’ve had several heart attacks and I have 10 stents in my heart. My Cardiologist has never explained to me why I have the problems that I have. If I don’t know what questions to ask why doesn’t he tell me what I need to do to prevent my problems? I would make changes from my past habits, eating foods that I grew up on. Anyway I’ll begin making changes in my eating habits today.

Blood pressure is - sys/dylostic. Heart rate is - BPM.

How and who was the blood pressure readings determined on? Why would the numbers change like that to where 130 is now the number? The same is true for diabetes and other diseases. The numbers for those diseases vary from country to country. I don’t understand it. Could you please shed light on this? Thanks for all you’re doing. Shalom

I have high blood pressure .but surprisingly my bp went down.I was 138/70 it hasn't been that low since !y early twenties !!!

I was diagnosed with nodules on my thyroid, aside from that I feel like I have an increase amount of cortisol due to insomnia too, and this has affected my adrenals resulting in increased aldosterone levels in my blood, my doctor diagnosed me with "essential" hypertension, but refuses to do anything about it other than to prescribe meds, she hasn't even done a thyroid panel but I did take an ultrasound of my thyroid revealing nodules that she said was too small to do anything about, Also! I suspect I might have an issue with my ovaries because of constant pain in my left lower abdominal area, all my glands are suffering, and it's all related, if I can just find a sensible, unbiased PCP, I'm at the VA and have to accept who they assign me to as my doctor.....BUT! I'm implementing much Self-care until God directs me to where I need to be🙏🏽

My adrenal was causing my hbp post covid. Meds didn’t work. The only thing that did was sea salt in water and magnesium plus low carb, lots of veggies and a little meat and fish diet. My doctor is clueless. Figured this out on my own. Hope this helps.

I was diagnosed with hypertension 10 years ago and the physician straightaway put me on meds without telling the reason and since then I am on medication. I am from India and I work as a medical transcriptionist where I work for multiple clients from USA and I know unlike USA in India doctors really don't talk about the underlying cause or want to find the same. Now as it has been long I know sadly I can't stop the meds but your videos help people like us..Thank you doctor for your effort.
