What is High Blood pressure (HBP)?

High blood pressure (hypertension) is an abnormally high pressure in the arteries. The word hypertension would suggest excessive tension, nervousness, or stress. In medical terms, hypertension refers to high blood pressure, regardless of the cause. Now this is the problem with so called ‘scientific medicine’ they don’t find out from the patient why the pressure is up or look for the causes. In addition there is no real understanding of what is ‘normal’.

When blood pressure is checked, two values are recorded. The higher value reflects the highest pressure in the arteries, which is reached when the heart contracts (during systole). The lower value reflects the lowest pressure in the arteries, which is reached just before the heart begins to contract again (during diastole). Blood pressure is written as systolic pressure/diastolic pressure—for example, 120/80 mm Hg (millimetres of mercury). This reading is referred to as “120 over 80.”

Following the medical model of suppressing the ‘warning’ lights leads to multiple problems and increasing ill health – Make sure you have your ‘tow truck’ booked!
