Doctor someone who doesn't smoke,drink who ia weighing 58kg got temporary spike of blood pressure twice due to stress were number was 153/ 70. But went back to normal within few hrs. Is it possible for it neva to go up if stress is been avoided?
Thank you, Dr! You’re right! My blood pressure shot up to 180 or 190/100 and has remained at 150/90 despite my taking meds twice a day since my husband died about a month and a half ago. It wasn’t like this before. It was always 120/80 before my husband died. Anxiety does play a huge part!
Me too, ever since I lost my dad it's been 3 months now. My BP is high and anxiety is too much. What makes it worse is that people around u don't understand what you're going thru. I need help please 😢😢😢😢
Honestly, I 've gained tremendously watching this episode. I just learnt that anxiety itself in checking our blood pressure on so many times a day does put pressure on individual. Thanks so much. God bless you sir
I just found out that I have high blood pressure. I just watch you video and I'm feeling way much better. I'm gonna stop smoking, loose weight and cut down on caffeine coffee/alcohol as from now. Thank you so so much.

The best video I came across here. Thanks Doc. The anxiety loop is actually a vicious cycle that's hard to break. This video will help a lot. And I also don't understand why doctors refuse to believe when patients say anxiety drive up their BP and that we are all built differently. Thank you once again.
I needed to hear this. I caught myself being obsessive before watching and stopped checking my numbers and focused on not smoking and diet and doing your bp workout. Thank you.
At last, an expert who doesn’t struggle to think of clever things to say. It’s obvious this guy knows plenty and could say so much more than he does. Hey Doc! Thanks for an great, insightful video.
Thank you so much Dr. Joe! You’ve cleared up a lot of things! I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and I get so anxious when my BP is above 120/80! I feel calmer already!
Thank you Dr Joe,you make so-- much sense,I was becoming obsessed with my readings,and the more I checked,the higher it went,I feel,mostly due to Anxiety.After listening to you I feel much more relaxed.Bless you!
I've been suffering for a year now. This has been the best video I watched. I've taken off my fitbit and stopped my compulsive blood pressure checking. Thank you Doctor Joe 🤗
soooo true Doc, i've been diagnosed with HB almost two years, and what you've said about the 'anxiety-hb loop' i've proven to be true. the deep breathing helps tremendously as well.
I'm glad you're doing deep breathing to allow your parasympathetic nervous system to dominate the sympathetic. Keep doing it at least 3 times a day, Ralph and the benefits will add up.
that's cool. do you have the other risk factors. one of my friends is combining a keto type diet with interment fasting but i'm so confused if thatsvall safe. Sounds it. in his case, his DNA comes from india and artery clogging is the risk factor he's worried about. Another co-worker, who is white is skinny fat and had a heart attack, reduced sodium and eats more fiber. no clue how that helps or what meds he takes.
@@gejost Yes, keto does seem to help some people overcome their insulin resistance. Intermittent fasting certainly does help. I do it and still do it. There are different approaches and some work for others but not the rest. I have friends doing keto but my advice to them is; even if it is working for you, please keep an eye on your blood lipids because keto is essentially a fatty diet and some people don't handle their lipids very well. He should check his blood lipids every 6 months, if keto is his thing. Your skinny fat friend is doing the right thing. She's skinny on the outside but fat on the inside. Upping her fiber intake is a great way to deal with her visceral fat. Ask her to eat more pulses too.
I've been in the health and fitness industry for nearly 30 years with an emphasis in functional medicine the last 5 years and I use to have an obsession of checking my blood pressure even though I don't even have high BP. I'm 54 and my morning BP averages about 95/60 and my evening BP averages about 110/70. I am 5'8" and weigh 160 pounds about 14% body fat. My clients ask me all the time what do I do to keep my BP so good and I tell them I grew up in sports, never been overweight, never smoked, never drank alcohol, and really never ate red meat. I just recently cut back on grilled chicken and started doing more greens, vegetables, and certain fruits as I am doing a liver detox and the less meat you eat the better it is. One thing I do recommend to my own clients is taking 2g of Nordic Natural Omega 3s per day along with 12mg Astaxanthin to prevent fat/cholesterol oxidation. I also recommend a mixed tocopherol/tocotrienol vitamin E (400IU), liposomal form of vitamin C (1000-2000mg) per day, and I strongly recommend two ounces of beetroot extract, 1 ounce of pomegranate extract, and 3500mg L-Citrulline to act as a natural vasodilator. Also, if you suffer from anxiety then YOU MUST take 100mg of Doctors Best Magnesium Glycinate 4X per day with meals and I almost guarantee it will work miracles for you when it comes to calming down the sympathetic nervous system. As a matter of fact if I start to feel anxious I can take 200mg with 8 ounces of water and feel completely calm within 30 minutes! This is my go-to miracle pill for anxiety and I recommend it to all my clients with magnificent results. And, like Dr. Joe said, STOP checking your BP. One time I checked it and it was what I thought was a little high at 130/80 and about freaked. I checked again and it was in the 150s. Checked again and it jumped to 172/95. This was just 2 years ago and I went to the ER because of a major panic attack. At the ER it was 180/100. Needless to say my hospital visit was over $20K because they ran so many tests on my brain, heart, etc. and all was fine. I basically freaked myself out. So, now if I start to feel anxious - especially after eating (which I contributed to mild constipation and a sluggish gallbladder), I take 200mg of my magnesium glycinate and I calm right down. I don't dare check my BP because I already know what will happen! After cutting back on meat of all kind and increasing my vegetable and fruit intake my anxiety has lessened dramatically. Goes to show you how your gut function has so much to do with the parasympathetic/sympathetic nervous system. Hope this helps someone and thank you for your video, Dr. Joe! Keep up the good work.
i am at the point i refuse flat out to monitor my chronic hypertension as these monitors with THEIR automatic inflation...then stopping THEN MORE INFLATING action had me WILD and of course the readings were off the wall-searching for the traditional sphygmomanometer did get results but the cost is still out of reach-i am fortunate that at the moment a well seasoned/experienced doctor understands that the patient knows when the blood pressure skyrockets,i went to the office a couple of times/week to get it checked the "old way" to establish how good or bad the medications are working-am OK for now as long as there are NO spiking incidents -fortunately i do NOT get any rapid pulse response,chest pain etc what will happen IS BAD as vision literally gets cut off--i do juicing,etc and now returned to a water fast as that has proven to lower the pressure and some how I feel better without eating-LOL
I don't understand why doctors always go straight to drugs for high blood pressure instead of looking at the causes. Thank you for looking for the causes!
Yes this was me....thank you very much. I’m trying to lose some weight right now because I’m about 40 over weight. Instead of focusing on the problem, focus on the solution👍🏽👌👏🏾
This is so well explained! And coming from a Medic and a be patient, makes it even more practical and authentic. God bless you, Dr. Joe. I’ve subscribed 👍🏽
Thanks, I meditate 20 min/day to keep anxiety to a minimum. Started the nitric oxide dump too, after each meal. It is short and easy to do. Very grateful for this help.
Dr. Joe, thank you so much for this video. I am a new subscriber. I am a nursing student and tried to convince my instructor that everyone is different and 120/80 cannot apply to everyone, well she shut me down. Thank God someone is telling us the truth. God bless you Dr. Joe. Be safe 🙏🏾
Omgg!! I was just explaining this to my cousin like 2days(I read this several months ago) that everyone reading is different, base on there age/ weight..I need a lot of research on my own..bottom line(I DON'T TAKE THOSE LIL' PILLS ANYMORE) went to my Dr. Yesterday and my reading was 119/74👊🏽🙄
Thank you Dr. Joe. For the last two weeks I have been experiencing checking my high BP anxiety! It was just last night I swore I won't put myself through this stress of measuring my BP, but was wondering and that's when mystically your video came in as a suggestion!
Im so happy I found you today I want to cry. The doctor wanted to send me to the hospital today due to my BP 188/118. My BP always shoots up when I go to the doctor. Ive been in therapy for anxiety for 5 weeks now due to some things that have occured. My BP was going down really well then shot back up. When I say shot back up, I mean averaging 140s/90s. Ive been taking my BP at least 9 times a day, and although I had the numbers for the doctor, they still wanted me to go to the ER. That gave me more anxiety, and I started crying in the office. Smh. When i left and arrived home, my BP was down to 160/101 due to the anxiety at the office. I waited, took a deep breath....133/93. I could go on with this story, but God had you pop up in ny video feed. I was stressing so bad. I lost 12 lbs in the last 35 days just by changing my eating habits, exercising, sleeping, and going to therapy. Thanks for helping us! Oh yeah, I notice that when I go days or a week without checking my BP, it goes down. I can't keep obsessing about this. I take COQ10 in the form of Ubiquinol, krill oil, and I drink beet root powder at night.
It does look like anxiety is playing a huge role in your BP problems. Working on it helps a great deal. Watch this video too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6R9tRW3rKxA.html
Just found out I got very high blood pressure and had to go to ER as I cannot sit or stand up from my bed. Now my primary doctor is checking my cholesterol and blood sugar. Thank you so much for your informative clip.
Dr your exercises are tremendous I do them every morning and I love it, what a change in my life. I'm on medication but my HBP has gone way, way down. It's between 113/75 and132/78.thank you so much.One need self discipline .👍
Thank u dr for this teaching. I’m from Africa and stayed in US. I noticed that when I travelled to Africa, my bp drops to 120/85 for the period I stayed but few weeks I come back to US the bp jumps up again. This is to confirm what u have said. Thank u so much for putting our minds at rest.
my co-worker gained weight like crazy, when she came to canada. she fixed the issue by changing her diet closer to what she had in her country of origin.
I happened to see this video at very right time, because just today, I was wondering what to do. My BP is slightly elevated 145-155 systolic for the past 3 weeks. It used to be around 130 only. My blood sugar is well under control, and I have no other complaints. I will focus on calming, herbal tea, Nitric oxide Exercise, etc. You have given me hope and encouragement which no one else could provide! My sincere thanks to you. Regards.
I recently discovered that I have high blood pressure when I collapsed at with 174/112 I was rushed to the hospital and my pulse was 99. I was recommended for ICU which I refused. They took my blood samples and other machine tests. Two days it lowered to 143/96 but still high. I was told to be on medication the rest of my life. Scared but when I watch deep breathing from Dr. Joe, I have tried it whenever I feel it's coming. Thanks for the knowledge and safety precautions.
I've been telling my wife for months now that I refuse to check my blood pressure for this same reason. I have worked hard at reducing my other risk factors with diet and exercise; so, I don't feel the need to check my blood pressure. I just get anxious every time I check it. Thank you Doctor Joe.
Do check it though say twice a week and when it is fairly stable, once a week should do. Check it preferably in the evenings. But the emphasis should be on working on your risk factors. Your BP will improve if you do those

Thankyou Dr Joe really appreciate this explantation so kind and caring My blood pressure is ranging from 160/79 to 135/75 this is my readings over the last 2 days I have been panicking and testing every 4 hours! But I will do the exercises you recommend from the other video and try and calm down 😊 Really helpful great! Thankyou Trish
Thank you Dr. Joe, I was recently diagnosed as hypertensive and I went through that phase but now i've gone from that extreme to not checking at all for fear and frustration of not seeing the BP reading that I want...🙁
You don't need to check that frequently. Here is the thing. If you are doing all the right things, your BP will improve unless your BP has hit your kidneys badly where you are now CKD stage 3 or 4 or 5. Even if you are CKD stage 2, you'll still do very well. So long as you are on track, your BP will improve and you'll develop the confidence to check your BP. Your 1st reading may be somewhat high from anxiety but when you are confident, your 2nd check in the same BP check session will be better and your 3rd too
Role of nitrates. Is important Beetroot juice Celery juice Nitric oxide Dump exercise HIT Exercise IF way of life 5:7 do 21:3 1/7 18:6 1/7 chill nil IF OMEGA 3 foods - oily fish Increase Potassium foods Increase Magnesium foods and finally 2000iu of Vitamin D3 Hope this adds to Dr Joe’s video
Everything you say is true - anxiety attacks do raise the bp. It is just like when you go to the doctor, the bp reading is always high; I used to call it 'white coat syndrome'. People have to stop obsessing about hpb. I used to be very conscious of it but now I do not anymore. Instead as you said, focus on lowering the risk factors and all will fall in place. I wear a smart watch which checks the bp also so once a day I will check it and it is normal. Thanks for your detailed explanation Dr. Joe.

Finally, a MD who is telliing the truth about this. Dr. Bergman first educated me on the fact that it is not the silent killer they want us to believe it is but rather it is adative. Thank you!
@@marvinkennedy725 how else do you want him to label . African Americans are black like every other black person and their BP are affected the same way.
Great video Dr Joe, I have been doing just this over the past 2 weeks, ie trying to get my parasympathetic system dominant. The points you make really resonated with me especially the getting fixated on the blood pressure figures. Thank you so much for posting this. I have subscribed😎🇦🇺👍
Yes, Stephen. That's the way forward. Your blood pressure will get better. Just keep doing the stuff that needs to get done rather than 'getting married' to your blood pressure machine.
Great video! Although I was only checking it 3 times a day, I WAS worrying and thinking about it too much. Normally a little self-hypnosis and deep breathing gets to back to normal on the rare occasions it spikes high, but it got bad for a week after a trauma was triggered. After watching your video I feel MUCH better - I have NO risk factors and already quit smoking and heavy drinking decades ago. Time to stop worrying and go back to enjoying life and healing other issues like fibro pain. I wish more doctors had your attitude!
I suffer with blood pressure from a long time and I am so bothered about my disease even my doctor say why it is not getting down every time I am searching for some thing which will help me Dr Joe you are the first person in my life who has given me such a healthy solution you are so positive God Bless You.Thank you ...
I am glad I came across this video because I have been checking my BP 4 - to - 5 times a day. My BP is usually at 140/90 with no medication. I don't take medication. Food and Water is my Medication and Prayer. Peace Love and Understanding.
No need to check it that frequently, Last Greatest. Put more effort into the measures that will help you bring your blood pressure down further. Your blood pressure is getting pretty close to normal. A little bit more effort and you will be there. Check out my other videos on this channel for BP control for natural ideas
Hats off to you Dr Joe for the wonderful work you are doing. I have recently started nitric oxide dumping exercise. I strongly believe it will work for me. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and they definitely are motivational.
Dr Joe...I've been following you for a couple months...I saw the VIDEO with the CAT CLAW TEA...let me tell you...at that time it was 180/188 over 100....since your video I purchased CAT CLAW tea...1 cup every morning no blood pressure pill..went down to 170 in 2 weeks...4th week down 160...and si on...now 136/84 yay...I use the blood pressure pill twice a week...will be making doctor appointment to ADVISE..BUT YOU SAVED ME..I CAN WALK 2 MILES NOW..BEFORE YOUR VIDEO I could not walk to the corner...THANK YOU SO MUCH..CAT CLAW, TURMERIC AND GINGER EVERY MORNING WORKS...I feel so much better..hunger decressed... down 15 pounds from walking after my tea in the morning...
Dear Dr Joe this is Michael Hickman from Durban South Africa, what great advice. I have had atrial fibrillation since 2000. More recently I developed chronic high blood pressure for which I was taking more and more tablets with no effect. I am not over weight, I do not smoke, i drink close to no alcohol and keep reasonably fit. Last Christmas a friend of mine who is one of the pioneer heart transplant surgeons recommended some lifestyle changes and to slowly identify which tablets worked and which did not and to stop taking those that were not having a positive effect. immediately the blood pressure started to drop. I now make a daily drink of turmeric, ginger, milk,carrot and beetroot juice which has further lowered my blood pressure allowing me to once again reduce the number of tablets taken. A few days ago I read about breathing exercises which have immediately again drastically lowered my blood pressure. The pretty woman is not me she is my partner.
What can I say other than to shout Congratulations on your achievement, Hlengiwe. Very well done. You're also living proof that natural therapies do work. And please continue with the healthy lifestyle - the not smoking, not drinking, not gaining weight and keeping fit. They all help to keep your BP down. Well done again.
Great info... I use to be a bit obsessive about my numbers too, then I stopped and tried to exercise more, eat better, I am still working on sleeping better. The numbers are better, weight is decreasing, lost 17 lbs between late last year and now so far, and the numbers are going to get there I am staying positive! Thanks for the assurance still Dr. Joe.
Thank you SOO much for this video, and all your videos! They're a blessing! I've started reading your book and plan on reading it very slowly to let the information sink in. I can relate to the loop. I have a problem with anxiety and anxiety makes everything worse. Have a blessed day.
Thank you for this video. I’m def in the BP/anxiety loop. 59 yr old with no other risk factors and Bp running around 145/90 ~ I’m an anxious mess. I’m ready your book and that’s how I found your channel
I know, anxiety is a terrible problem for lots of people. I totally understand. Follow the steps in the book and you are going to be fine. Relax. And Thank you for buying the book
I have really learnt a lot from this video. I actually was checking and checking which led to anxiety until I saw your video. Thank you sir God bless you richly.
Thank you so much Dr Joe! You hit me spot on! All my risk factors are super low but I get anxiety that causes my blood pressure to be super high. Then I become BP obsessed! Which makes my bp even higher. All the women in my family have higher BP numbers. My Gma is 98 and can sometimes have a BP of 180+/100+. Thank you so much for this video! ❤
dr. Joe, thank you for sharing this important information on this number one killer I think. In May 2023 I had, a stroke and was diagnosed with diabetes. My blood pressure was 200/199. I had so much medication my kitchen look like a pharmacy. I decided that if I was diabetic that it must be my diet I weighed 110 pounds. I am vegan, but because of tremendous stress over the past 16 years with a relationship, that is why I think I suffer the stroke and a high blood pressure I have since stopped taking the medication after two months after the diagnosis. I go to the gym four times a week. I have cut all carbohydrates and sugar from my diet in October. I went back to my doctor. My sugar went down but my blood pressure was through the roof. Still he said that it happens, but I want to thank you for sharing the information on these topics because of your information I am able to get my blood pressure under control and my blood sugar. Thank you so much Dr. Joe please continue sharing the information.
The last time I checked it was 145/96 😥😥 it scared me so much I started exercising right away after checking it, and this was about a month ago. I haven't checked since then. I just changed my diet completely since that day. I stopped eating processed foods and increased my potassium intake, I exercise and try to get adequate sleep, although it's hard with small children. I do a lot of deep breathing when stressed and listen to guided meditation for stress and anxiety. I also take hawthorn berry as my blood pressure medication instead of the regular medication.
@@ksilas78 You are doing all the right things, Ksilas78. Keep it up. Seeing as you are taking Hawthorn berry, which is a good alternative, have you watched my videos on herbal teas for BP control? These are other things you can add to what you are already doing. If you haven't see it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dwhgIRsH_QI.html
@@ksilas78 Yes, check it sometime. So long as you are doing the right things, your blood pressure will fall in line but don't let checking your BP dominate your life. It adds stress to your life doing that.
Thanks again Doc. I'm sharing with my family especially about the BP measurement obsessiveness and anxiety loop. Also about the race differences with regard to salt tolerance and early onset HBP. I live your positive attitude which has a calming effect I guess on your parasympathetic nervous system. God bless

Thank you so much, Dr. Joe, for your reassuring and encouraging words! Along with the excellent recommendations coming from a caring doctor who has been there, the positive message is very much valued and appreciated!🙏
Thank you Dr. Joe for your succinct and inspiring explanation about blood pressure number(s). I have similar experience of ‘stuck’ blood pressure number(s) despite my consistence in taking prescribed medications. This video not only educated me on how to control BP and maintain desirable number but will also contribute to reduction of anxiety which has been my biggest problem in controlling my BP.
Happy to hear this video, I suffer from hi BP, most probably due to stress n anxiety n emotional issues, 2nd from not so good diet. My BP is always high at doctors clinic bc of anxiety which I have discussed with my doctor. I am low risk, non smoker, good weight, do walking daily 1 1/2 miles, n starting on your exercise. Will follow your future videos. God bless you 👍🙏🏼
@@kaye3543 The only way to equalize blood circulation to lower your blood pressure readings will be through exercise. There are some exercises that favour blood pressure reduction and I shall be talking about them sometime soon. As for Cayenne tea, there's a chance it could reduce blood pressure. I haven't tried it myself but because cayenne peppers have potassium, it should work in theory. Cayenne tea is just a little too spicy for me though, so it's not one of my favourites. Especially when there are non-spicy alternatives that should help with BP reduction.
Thank you, Mpouli101. I sincerely apologize that my manner of speaking did raise your blood pressure. May be you could try other you tube channels that won't have that effect on you. But thank you for stopping by. Have a nice day too.
It took me literally years to get my anxiety under control to reduce my blood pressure. I still have trouble in my doctor's office due to 'white coat hypertension'.
Thank you so much. I have taken High Blood Pressure tablets for over 20 years and my instincts, tells me to stop the chemical medication and focus on natural remedies. Thank you so much for your videos.

Happy I found your channel. Earlier this year I started having bad anxiety and along with that I started having high bp diastolic readings, I started taking hawthorn and garlic extract right away along with ant anxiety herbs. My husband tells me the same thing to stop obsessing over my bp readings because that keeps the readings high. Now that I saw your video I’ll listen and stop obsessing.
Great strategy, Cutiegabbs. Obsess over getting better rather than focusing on BP readings all the time. The less obsessed you become, the more relaxed you'll be when you pick up your BP machine
I don't have high blood pressure but I do have loved one that do have it. I like this man straight talk no wasting time. I like and subscribed and am also going to share.
@@wasntme9153 That high. Such a high reading cannot be explained by anxiety alone. Anxiety will contribute but not enough to explain all of it. You need to have your BP investigated to ensure there's no organic cause for it.
@@drjoetvMD -Thank you so much for your response. I inquired because since I twisted an ankle, it's been out of wack. Medicine brings it down, but only to around +|-197/120 something. Your speaking of nerve involvement got me curious. I feel doctors don't want to investigate deeper. My diet is mainly fruit, chicken, oat cereal. Thanks.
Well done my dear bro for making it clear to us that there were some factors that are ignored on coming up with the 12/80 base line. Now i am straight away going to implement what you just taught and deal with the obsession that leads to anxiety which is even more dangerous for me
