Thanks. My doctor has stopped doing the 24 monitoring system, only the twice daily monitor for a week. I was 169/100 in the surgery and only a little lower when I self monitored twice daily. I'm in my 50s, exercise most days (cycle to work via the riverside) and do free weights) am not overweight, eat healthily, avoid salty foods, limit my carbs and only unrefined pastas/rice, gave up caffeine months ago, never smoke or drink and have a good low- responsibility p/t job and relaxing hobbies which make me very happy. So it seems medication may now be my only option🤨. I'm surprised you didn't mention alcohol or salt as other bad things to cut out? I have an 3.5% increased risk of having a heart attack in the near future. When i asked for a false addition of smoking be put into the computer calculation, the increased risk was only 6%. Hey ho.
Please clarify whether clogging of arteries is always associated with high BP or there may be possibility of having normal BP in case arteries are clogged due to plaque build up
How do you know when High BP is significant enough to go to ER. My GP has me on Carvedilol and Hydrochlorothiazide. BP goes to 205-220/100-115 daily. Wearing me out and feel lethargic.
Thank you, Dr Sanjay Gupta. You are indeed a wonder--so generous, wise and well informed. You've cleared so many doubts. You make most of the doctors I've come across sound so ignorant or rigid. You've quelled a lot of my anxiety and I already feel so much better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
This was excellent doc., I'm 70 had a heart attack, -triple by-pass in 2004. I love your vids, you are so clear in your descriptions of the functions of the body, thank you very much.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching the video. Please join me for live free chats on my Facebook page (type yorkcardiology@gmail.com in Facebook search) - I will be able to answer your questions there
You are a godsend. Bless you for caring about people and I pray for your health as well. I would like to discuss my current health with you. How can I contact you directly Dr?
I'm convinced a large percentage of my elevated blood pressure is stress related. But....first objective is to get the numbers down, then deal with the stress on a larger scale.
Thanks Dr for such a comprehensive, informative video. If only some of the Drs I've seen over the years were this informative, I'd have had a lot less anxiety and a lot less tests.

I am RN in U.S, your video was helpful. Even though I understand hypertension hearing ideas from another person gives me a direction to take - seeing specialists. I am 52 and the various GPs never even suggested that, instead they throw pills at me. I am sharing your video to patients because the information is presented in an easy to understand way.
This video was very helpful to me, especially the idea of using small doses of several types of medication. My family is prone to high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes -- I'm the only exception, with low-normal bp and a slow heart rate around 50 beats/minute. The lifestyle difference between me and the rest of my family is that I refuse to eat eggs. In fact, I'm convinced that high egg consumption is directly responsible for the high rate of heart attacks and strokes in America. Of course I'm judging only from personal experience and I could be wrong.
Can you explain why when I go to the doctor it goes up, I’ve always had like 125/70 then few years ago was 130/80, and I see 140/90 when I go to the doctor I am 49, the lower was when I was 20 years old. I am in menopause and have bad anxiety and health anxiety. I’ve had high readings when I go to the doctor. My dad had me relax at home and it was 123/70
Straight to the point , good video. I have one question to share with you. It is obvious for instance that the difference between 120.80 .... systolic/ diastolic is 40 points.... what is the danger if the difference in these figures go above a difference of 40. Or lower than 40 points. There is very little data.... I have had readings as low as 99/60 when on my meds and felt no difference. Your view point on this would be helpful.......thx Larry
Thanks for this detailed explanation. I've been dealing with the high blood pressure for 16 years or so now. As you suggest, I don't think that the high BP started 16 years ago. I have always been extremely fit and active and my occupation was very physical. After I left that occupation, my weight began to rise steadily. It was found that I had sleep apnea, and I use a CPAP machine now. That has helped. I've retired 8 years ago, so the major source of the stressors in my life are gone. That all has improved my life and health, but not necessarily the BP. Still on the meds for that. I always felt that my treatments for that were based off of guesses on what is going on within me. The explanations from my doctors were vague at best. It seems that there is a lack of understanding to some degree on the topic. I am glad that the problem has been identified and steps have been taken that should mitigate any damage.
doctor whenever I do weight lifting exercises I get low blood pressure issue... I dnt know wt to do... now I hv totally stopped it... please advise me...
I realise this is a fairly old video now, but hoping either the doctor or someone knowledgeable can tell me what counts as 'young' in terms of blood pressure? Thanks
I don't think I slept at all last night and amazingly, I am not that tired. I love playing on my tablet in the quiet of the night. That's my time - time I'm not taking away from somebody or something more important. I used to read every night so I've always been a night person, even when I worked. I've spent many hours listening to Dr. Gupta's videos. They're very interesting and educating. He's a great teacher and great communicator - the Doctor we all wish we had. Don't know what motivated him to do the videos but they're a blessing!
Coffee/caffeine will raise it some. Pure nicotine in lozenges will raise it some. If I do both in the morning I've gotten 165/95 before with blurry vision headache and off balance. And some heart pain. (Treadmill EKG says my heart is like athlete )By 4pm it's back to 115/73. How do these interact and why. I may have a death wish.
Doctor.....your explanations are clear and extremely helpful and has relieved my stress level greatly. It makes life easier when the lay person has a true understanding of things. Most doctors don't have the time to do so. So..Thank you so much!
Thank you for explaining about BP. I've developed a phobia of measuring blood pressure and now it is impossible for me to know the real numbers... Every time I try to measure it, I go strait into a panic attack... sigh...
Had the same issue. I find that reading and concentrating on some type of instruction manual while taking my BP helps distract me. I also take my pulse before I take BP and then compare it to the number on the BP monitor to see how much of the heart rate increase is from just taking the BP. It doesn’t tell me how much the BP increase might be from taking the BP but it does seem to tell me if anxiety went up when taking BP.
Thank-you, Dr. Gupta. Wish you were my doc. I'm in the USA, where my docs over-prescribe blood pressure meds. Sure glad I quit them with exercise and diet.
Hi doc im from Mauritius Since 2 days i feel like heaviness in my chest n im suffering from indigestion problem. Yesterday night i feel very hot n i was not able to sleep i feel like my heart beat low .i feel suffocating then i see your video i got relief i was thinking that i will not be able to wake up nxt morning.thank doc .
Very useful indeed. You have explained in simple words, the very complex concept of blood pressure and how to control it; first by natural means of life style modifications; then followed by multi pronged approach to regulate the pressure through blockers, both beta and alpha. Thanks a lot.
What if only one number is high? My bottom number is high quite often, however, my top number is usually great. The last time it was taken it was 120/90 for example. Thank you for all of your informative videos.
Occlusion of Mesenteric Lymphatics will have a significant impact on cardiovascular health! Chronic Compartment Syndrome aka 3rd Space Syndrome fluid leaks out into the Interstitial space. Please talk about this unrecognized condition!
Hi dr sanjay i hv a question. I hd recently gone to see a naturapath doc i.e specializing in holistic meds n did a check up using the quantum resonance magnetic analyzer. The reading tells me that my vascular resistance and elasticity levels are below average (i.e according to the doc my vascular walls are thick) and my myocardial blood demand and blood perfusion volume is lower than average. She said this means that blood is not flowing well throughout the body esp to the brains hence the dizzy/fatigue-ish spells i have been experiencing. my q is does this mean also mean that there could be blockages in the heart or arterial walls. Are these readings a good indication of a creeping heart disease? I am 39yrs of age with no previous heart issues and neither am i diabetic.
thank you so much Dr Gupta, Having listened to might stop me developing high blood pressure, I'm going to stop smoking in very first place. But I need an advice please, usually smokers have low stamina but I've started running right now, I feel a little pain in my heart while my BP goes up and get relax as soon as it drops down. Do you think I should seriously consider visiting a Cardiologist or monitor it for a few days, the reason why I'm asking is I've had the same problem a couple of years back when I started jogging, but it got disappeared in a month or so. What could that be?
+Hussain Malik you should probably have an exercise test under medical supervision in the first instance. This will give you the confidence that exercise is safe for you
Great explanation. I'm on Losartan hctz and range an average of 120/80. My goal is to remove the need for medication via lifestyle. I'm mostly meat and eggs but dip into veg due to family meals. My doctor is okay with removing one of the combo meds but I'm experimenting with only taking a half tablet of my already low dosage. Will monitor record any symptoms.
Dr, I've always had a low to normal BP, but since I got pregnant, at week 17, my doctor realized my bp had been high. The highest reading I've gotten is 130/100. So I've started monitoring it at home it's most times in a range of 127/90. What should I do?
In Ireland doctors say to cut down the salt! Cutting down on famous bacon n cabbage! Even a 15 min run on an undulating course will help. The little hills definitely help.

Hi doc...am mother of 2 kids... In my first pregnancy I had pre ecclamsia... second time also it came...but not going away even after 3 months of postpartum../my GP adviced to tk `calciguard retard `10 mg bd...even without medication my sys go in between 130 to 150 and diastolic from 70 to 90...will it go away...am 36 ye old...pls reply
Well went to A&E show all my home blood monitoring results ,they do blood test then gave me straight away RAMIPRIL...before taking any of this medication i was so active not tired but now i feel like a rotten vegetables...I don’t know why the A&E then my GP then 111 doctors told me i need to take my medication w/out another test!...I had my full blood count and my red blood cell is abnormal and my iron is low..I asked any doctors from my GP practice if they could explain to me my full blood count result but nobody wants to explain!....rubbish!
Hi Sanjay, great to hear a Cardiologist who explains things so clearly , plus I know from listening to your Magnesium video, that you understand and promote natural remedies; Question :How effective is L-Arginine as a vasodilator? My husband is on two drugs as his BP was 240/150 when he was diagnosed 8 years ago. He had a lot of stress and exhaustion at the time and has sleep apnea (and a CPAP machine)! In the morning when he takes it is is generally 135/80.
Thank you very much for your super presentation. Keep it up. I am doctor who practiced medicine in India, UK and Saudi Arabi and retired two years ago. I find your presentation very concise and informative as well as simple to understand by everyone. Thank you again .
It's messed up, when calm & w out anxiety. It's usually 60bpm. Now it's up to 100 bmp when stressed + w chest pain! The cause is def not anxiety as I've dealt w that my entire life. It seems to be something more, yet undetermined. Tho i can fathom what it might be!
Thank you so much for this very informative report on blood pressure. I'm a great follower of your talks. Keep up the great work you are doing. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
I have Hashimoto's and my blood pressure goes high if I don't have the right amount of thyroid replacement hormones (too much or too little). So of course they gave me calcium channel blocker, beta blocker, and diuretics instead of just fixing my hormones. I was scared to change lanes because I would get dizzy checking my blind spot with all those meds.
Some Doctors' enthusiasm is squashed by the principles they have to work with too. They have rules and regulations, allotted time, a "quota" of patients and time constraints pushed beyond the limit by patients. I think most of them do a great job.
Thank you for saying that... I get a bit light headed when that top number goes below 120. I have NEVER had a doctor suggest a 24 hour blood pressure monitoring before putting me on meds. I’m currently taking readings am and pm for the last couple of months to take back to my cardiologist.
hi Dr, have you any idea why my blood pressure goes up on standing only,(both numbers but the diastolic to 100 above! sitting it's fine, currently taking blood pressure twice a day for the gp , bloods given and had an ECG come back fine,
The best explanation ever. No book or even my doctor explained by BP to me like you have just done. Many thanks.
Agreed!
Thanks. My doctor has stopped doing the 24 monitoring system, only the twice daily monitor for a week. I was 169/100 in the surgery and only a little lower when I self monitored twice daily.

May God bless you beyond your own expectations, Dr! Thanks a lot!!
Always appreciated your time and effort to make these videos. This encourages me to pursue my medical field.

Great video, very useful. what does it mean when you have high diastolic pressure. Mines averaging out at 120/87 been monitoring through the day
Pure Evil it's normal ,not high
You really have no problems but if you want to naturally lower both systolic and diastolic farther then walk an hour every day.
Thanks Dr Gupta… 👀 at how young you are here 😁
Highly informative. Keep uploading more on 💓 problems.
Can we bleed from nose due to one time high blood pressure of over 180 systolic?
This video Dr. truly was helpful thank you so much 😊

The top number is more important when checking the blood pressure. 💯 5:01
I wish I could find a doc like this. Probably would have WAY less health anxiety.

And some heart pain. (Treadmill EKG says my heart is like athlete )By 4pm it's back to 115/73. How do these interact and why. I may have a death wish.
thank you. they are both stimulants and therefore cause vasoconstriction and a rise in heart rate

Thank you for explaining about BP. I've developed a phobia of measuring blood pressure and now it is impossible for me to know the real numbers... Every time I try to measure it, I go strait into a panic attack... sigh...
Same here. Even when I try to take it at home I freak out badly to the point where I'm having to remind myself to breath.
I am having the same issue!

is 108 over 83 a good reading?
Yes. As long as you have no symptoms of low blood pressure

Thank you for saying that... I get a bit light headed when that top number goes below 120. I have NEVER had a doctor suggest a 24 hour blood pressure monitoring before putting me on meds.
I’m currently taking readings am and pm for the last couple of months to take back to my cardiologist.
What do you think of taking natric oxide tables for aiding in dropping blood pressure ....thanks
Dr....could you please make a video on low blood pressure as well and how it affects the heart? Not many Drs touch on this topic. Many thanks..🙏🏻
hi Dr, have you any idea why my blood pressure goes up on standing only,(both numbers but the diastolic to 100 above! sitting it's fine, currently taking blood pressure twice a day for the gp , bloods given and had an ECG come back fine,
What do you mean 24 hours monitoring? Like every hour measure it??
