This convey that your BP is normal ie, the heart is now at ease and has no much effort other than its normal affairs. At some time in your regular health check up your GP says that your BP has gone up a little bit and you need to control it. Now at this point what are the thoughts which need to through a student’s mind.

  1. Why this rise
  2. What does this imply
  3. What’s to be done

Things are much simple. BP measured by sphygmomanometer is just a reading. This implies that your heart is doing some extra bit of job like pushing blood through some natural barriers like few membranes1 (Blood-brain barrier, synovial membrane, renal membrane etcetera ) which usually is an easy job. But your GP says to decrease BP. What if BP is checked, you mean the extra job need not be done. Yes it should definitely be done. If your GP decrease BP your body is a living organism and it strives hard and produce that extra BP your GP has cut short. It is a living organism which has lived millions of years and a GP’s illiteracy cannot stop it from living longer.

Rather than reducing in early stages of increased BP, try find the reason out. In early part of life it cannot be traced as the body already adjust it by slightly rising its BP.

If not for the virtue of nature and dramatic quality of medical anticoagulants the irrational indulgence in to BLOOD PREASURE by frog testers would have killed millions for sure.

What I can do is… just make you alert!!2 . Alert of frog testers.

Thank you

  1. Its really a dream like affair. A single heart push blood exerting a pressure of 120 mm of mercury into Aorta. This aorta splits t numerous blood vessels and reach various parts of body. each part needs different pressure. Running 60,000 miles all through the body blood reach back heart just to be pushed again by 120 mm of hg pressure.,. AMAIZING ↩︎
  2. Take for instants that you have a 10feet tall water tank in your house. You have a 1Hp motor to pump water. Now you decide to increase the height of tank by 2 feet. With 1 Hp motor water won’t reach the tank. Wat are the options you have.
    Increase motor efficiency. 1.5 Hp motor.
    There is one more option that is true about physics but not usually practiced, that is decreasing the dimeter of the outlet pipe from pump to water tank. This helps pump water without changing motor.
    Now just imagine the same scenario in a living body where pump is your heart, tank various target organs where blood should reach, for example brain, skin etcetera. Now as age pass by naturally blood reach your skin and brain quite without any issues. You never know the technical changes occurring in the body. The pump, our heart start changing its power and the measure is appreciated by increased blood pressure, or by slight thickening of blood vessels towards the end near receptive organs due to accumulation of cholesterol in the inner surface. The body never complains about diminished supply of blood as it is already delt well by nature.
    One fine morning your GP checks your blood pressure and says it is more. Another GP checks cholesterol and says it is high. But you are really really fine because you are human being and started life even before establishment of scientific temper.
    Cholesterol is produced by every cell of your body and also liver no food stuff having cholesterol add to blood cholesterol. It is controlled by negative feedback mechanism and not a scientist. Many people start treat treatment and if dies the GP says ‘he had BP and cholesterol’
    NB: Please corelate with other diseases, If no other diseases coexist please forget about cholesterol. ↩︎
