DEALING WITH FACTORS THAT RAISE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.

Your blood pressure rises when your arteries get narrow. Different factors responsible for this include (to mention a few)

•  Elevated blood fats eg cholesterol
•  Hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol
•   Drugs like NSAID examples include Ibuprofen, Feldene, Diclofenac, Ginseng, Liquorice, Cocaine,etc.
•   Caffeine in energy drinks, coffee etc
•  Chronic poor sleep pattern
•  Excessive alcohol intake.  Snoring and Apnoea
•  Tobacco smoking
•  Prolonged emotional distress/mental strain
•   Excess salt intake
•  High dietary fat intake( let me quickly explain this, if you are eating low carb and taking too much fats especially trans fat or saturated fat, vessel wall thickening may occur).
•  High blood sugar.

The anti-hypertensive drugs you take target the effect of these risk factors.

While it is better to deal with the root cause of hypertension or exacerbations of blood pressure, the first aid you can take is regularly using your medications while you implement your lifestyle changes step by step.
