High Blood Pressure?

After witnessing years of TPTB's efforts to kill off the proles. It should be no surprise that:

I take it your PCP has diagnosed you as having high BP. You are resisting the idea, or do not believe it to be true.
Disregard the PCP's diagnosis, tell them so, and do not take the meds.
Don't be surprised if your physician fires you as a patient, as is their right to do so. Then go see a naturopathic physician. Under their care, your condition may improve, or get doubly forked.
Had a vegan colleague go to a naturopathic physician after rejecting their physician's urges to consume animal protein. Perhaps placebo effect, but they improved for a few brief weeks, then plummeted to new lows. They left the naturopath for a new physician, whose first recommendation was to incorporate one serving of red meat per week. They felt so bad, they tried it. It worked (duh!). A few years later, they consume red meat regularly.
BTW, this vegan was the classic stereotype -- tell you within the first 10 minutes of meeting them that they're vegan -- but only when it comes to ingesting it. They loved their leather boots.

Whether it helps you or not, if there's money to be made, someone's going to try to sell you their sheite.

I have not been diagnosed with nor do I have high blood pressure. Both my parents have been put on blood pressure meds though. My doctor serves me, if she wants to "fire" me, so be it. She is very difficult to work with as is Kaiser in general. I spend as little time as possible dealing with them.

Why bother with professionals when you can ask the internet? That certainly has the best outcomes. Have you tried colloidal silver?

So the powers that be are trying to kill us because you can't get your horse paste?

Does he own a motorcycle like this one?

I don't know but he only drinks Coors Light.

More suggestions that even short term increases in blood pressure are damaging.

"Our study emphasizes that short-term changes in BP have a greater impact on all-cause and CVD mortality than long-term changes....."

Short-Term and Long-Term Blood Pressure Changes and the Risk of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality - PMC

Few studies compared the effects of BP changes in short- and long-terms on all-cause mortality and CVD mortality. We performed a 12.5-year follow-up study to examine the association between short- (2008 to 2010) and long-term [baseline (2004-2006) ...

"An increased short-term blood pressure variability (BPV) appears to importantly contribute to target organ damage and to the enhanced cardiovascular risk of hypertensive patients, over and above the effect of an increase in mean BP levels."

Each individual will have to decide whether the damage from temporary increases in blood pressure are worth the benefit they received from the activity that caused the BP increase. This would apply to driving in heavy traffic, exercise, chores, debating, stressing, procreation, going to the doctor or whatever else causes your blood pressure to increase.

I am still not convinced that high blood pressure (especially short-term high BP) is that damaging. But since I don't enjoy many of the activities that cause short-term high BP, it may benefit me to avoid those activities.
