If you find that you have high blood pressure, then first of all you need to find the cause, i.e., figure out what caused it. High blood pressure in 99 cases is already the consequences, and not the disease itself. These can be problems with high cholesterol, clogged blood vessels, kidney problems and a host of other problems, but we will focus only on the most common.
The Main Reasons for the Increase in Pressure
- Mechanical compression of cerebral vessels
- Thick blood
- Thyroid Passive
- Lifestyle
- Kidney problems
- Adrenaline
Pinched vessels: Most often this happens after lifting heavy weights, when the muscles pinch the blood vessels and the blood does not go well to the brain, so it is forced to increase the pressure due to starvation, giving the appropriate command to the heart. In this case, simple massage, gymnastics or manual therapy helps, which cannot be said about pills, which often do not help in this situation.
Blood: It can be thick, viscous, or oily. It is difficult for the heart to pump such blood, so the pressure may rise. The blood becomes viscous and oily due to poor nutrition, when you have a lot of meat and fat in your diet. In order for the blood to be normal, you need to eat right, and also drink enough water, about 2 liters per day.
Kidneys: If the lower pressure is more than 80, then you may have kidney problems, so you need to be examined at the hospital, check your kidneys. If they are clogged, then blood will not pass through them well and the adrenal glands can increase pressure, but there are more serious problems.
Adrenaline: It is often produced, but if you are not physically active, it can remain in the blood, thereby increasing blood pressure. Adrenaline can be excreted in urine and sweat, so it is better to start training more often and work on yourself, and it is also important to stay cold-blooded in any stressful situation. People with alcoholism problems, often have lower adrenaline levels. When they are under alcohol rehabilitation therapy, their adrenaline levels are increased with the treatment. So, its better to stay away form such things that lower your levels.

So, to begin with, you should take 2-3 deep breaths / exhales, after which we take a deep breath through the nose with a short delay (1-2 seconds), then slowly exhale through the mouth (it should be slightly open to give slight resistance when exiting air) and draw in the stomach with a delay of 3-7 seconds. Breathing should be accompanied by head movement: when inhaling, raise your head, while exhaling, lower it. In the initial stages, do light resistance with your lips. If you do this exercise for 1-2 minutes, then your pressure will drop. The most important thing about this exercise is that it has no negative consequences.
