High Blood Pressure ( Hypertension)

Blood pressure is a term that refers to the pressure of blood on the major and main artries . When ventricles of the heart pumps the blood by their contraction is called systolic blood pressure that is normally 110 to 120 . When ventricles of the heart come to their relaxed position the pressure comes down and it is known as diastolic blood pressure .
Sometimes systolic blood pressure may go to 140 , there is no need to worry about . Same is the case with diastolic blood pressure which may go to 90 and it is also normal . If blood pressure exceeds the limit of 140/90 then we would call it as hypertension

Kinds of High blood pressure

Before labeling the patient as hypertensive we must know that there could be two possibilities ,
1. Un Real Hypertension
2. Real Hypertension

Unreal High Blood pressure

SITUATION NO. 1
In this situation , in our our body our muscular system i.e heart is in the stimulation state and glands are in the passive state . Because of the state of the glands heat becomes low in the liver and as a result fat particles start sticking in the arteries . This leads to the reduction of diameter of the arteries . Accumulation of this bad cholesterol in the arteries causes difficulty for the blood to flow freely . We can divide this partial blockage into two categories .
(a). ARTERIO CALCIFICATION
In this disease calcium salts deposit in the internal middle layer of the artery . Usually it accumulates where already dead cells of any kind are present . Mostly it starts in the legs in the old age .
(b). ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
In this disease fat / cholesterol deposit in the internal layer of the artery leads to its stiffness. this condition mostly affects Aorta , cardiac arteries , leg arteries , renal artery , abdominal artery , brain artery , and all their respective capillaries . This is such a disease which causes reduction in the in the radius of the artery , roughness in the internal layers , its stiffness and reduction in the elasticity of artery . All these lead to the reduction of blood flow in the artery and as a result blood pressure goes up . Let us further divide this condition into two parts .
(I). Monckeberg Arteriosclerosis
Calcium deposits in the small blood vessels that leads to the narrowness and stiffness of the arteries . this happens usually in the 50 plus people .
(II).Arteriosclerosis
In this condition usually, this disease usually affects the kidney arteries. Diabetic and hypertensive patients often suffer from this condition . At the initial stage a bruise like condition happens in the artery that is called atheroma . Cholesterol starts to stick on this bruise that cause the narrowness of the artery. After that more cholesterol sticks to the piece of cholesterol that cause the complete blockage of the artery . If this process happens to the coronary artery and blood supply to the heart stops , it may cause the death of the patient .

What is cholesterol

Cholesterol is the combination of two Greek words Chol means bile and citrios means solid, .i.e. , solidification of the bile . Stimulation ( TEHREEK) of the muscular system , resolvation in the nerves and passive state of the glands lead to the decrease in in the heat of the liver . Decreased production of the yellow bile and increased production the black bile happen that that causes the solidification of the secretions of gall bladder . At the initial stage patient complains about about constipation and gall stones . Wrinkles on the skin and signs of the old age become visible in the patients . When this condition starts , patient tries to eat properly but with the impact of black bile on brain , he becomes psychic patient too .
NOTE : initially they denied that they have any kind of psychological disorder but with the passage of time they accept that they have some kind of psychological ailment.

CHOLESTROL

It is a white colored , odorless and fat like matter that is compulsory part of our body . In state of health , its production follows the need the body . Every cell of the body has its constituents in its protective layer . It gives energy to the cells as well as make their outer layer elastic . It protects the body from the coldness of the winter . Asteroid hormone is necessary for the growth and better performance of the body . Cholesterol plays a key role in its production .
Cholesterol is also used in the production of bile . Bile is produced in the liver . and is stored in the gall bladder . Bile helps to digest the fats . It breaks down the fats into smaller particles so that they can easily mix up with the fat digesting secretions . After the fat digestion , it helps the fat to absorb in the body . That’s why presence of bile in the intestines is necessary for the absorption of cholesterol. Insufficient production of bile or mixing of anything that alters its natural condition turns it into black bile and its and its ability to absorb and digest the fats comes to minimum level .In this way fats starts to to become sticky that leads to the heart disease .

1st Form

Lipids in the blood mostly consist of cholesterol acid . Moreover Phospholipids and triglycerides are also its part . Free fatty acids , mono glycerides , di glycerides and fat soluble vitamins are also present in a very little amount . Lipids are un soluble in the water . whereas they are easily soluble in the organic solution . In the body lipids are present in combination with protein because in this way they can easily go from one place to another through blood . A protein that is present in combination with lipids is known as lipoproteins .

2nd Form

Almost 75% of the body consists of water and it plays a key role in the food particle dispensation . Because fat is insoluble in water so so after digestion stomach pushes it towards the small intestines and finally it reaches to the liver . Liver transfers this fat to the desired part of the body in the form of L.D.L .
This type of cholesterol is known as bad cholesterol that causes the blockage of the arteries .

3rd Form

Third type of cholesterol is H.D.L . This type of cholesterol is very beneficial for human health . It prevents the L.D.L. to stay more in the intestines and leads it to go backward to the liver . Liver transforms this L.D.L. into V.L.D.L . A decrease in H.D.L cause the L.D.L to stay more in the intestines that leads to the starting point of the heart disease .

NORMAL VALUES ARE

V.L.D.L less than 30 mg / dl
L.D.L less than 160 mg /dl
H.D.L less than 34 mg /dl

Causes of high cholesterol level

1. Family history of raised cholesterol level
2. Atherosclerosis
3. Obstructive jaundice
4. Hypothyroidism
5. Nephrosis
6. Uncontrolled diabetes
7. Nephrotic syndrome
8. Obesity
9. Primary biliary cirrhosis
10. Passive state of liver
11. Overuse of fats
12. Overeating
13. Alcoholism
14. Lack of exercise
15. Consumption of bakery food items
    

Unreal High Blood Pressure – Signs and Symptoms

Excessiveness of cold and dry stimulation [ Pulse no. 2 ] cause the heart contraction and as a result and as a result it beats raised . In this condition a needle prick like pain is felt . Gas in the abdomen , heavy head , breathlessness , tiredness , pains , severe constipation or incomplete evacuation of stool , insomnia , sour taste of mouth , bleeding gums , epistaxis , obesity and cholilithiasis .

REASONS

Overeating , Diabetes , Anxiety , Use of fat rich food , and lack of exercise .

TREATMENT

Modern theory of single organ says that this disease belongs to pulse no. 2 , and we can treat the patient with the help of Medicine no. 3 and 4 .

Unreal High Blood Pressure [ type 2]

With the severe stimulation in the muscular system and passiveness of the glandular system , brain and nerves go to the dissolution [ TEHLEEL ] state . Due to the passiveness of the glandular system, heavy foods are not easily digested . Especially protein is not properly digested . So as a result instead of yellow bile , black bile is produced . Because if its density its filtration in the kidneys becomes difficult . Resultantly pain starts in the feet .
NOTE : Cholesterol and uric acid , both are black bile .

Unreal High Blood Pressure [ Type 3]

In this condition stimulation happens in the glandular system , muscular system goes to dissolution state and nervous system goes to passive state . As a result excessive heat and bile is produced in the body . In this stimulation state , glands of the body contract , muscles relaxed and passiveness happens in the nerves .
with the increase in the function of liver and glands , constriction happens in the veins and valves of the heart . As a result due to this increased heat , heart size increased . Renal artery also constricts and and due to the presence of excessive black bile ,Due to the swelling of the glandular layer of the heart , its beats so severe that they can be seen with the eyes . Mild sensation or sound makes it more fast . Patient feels more thirst an wish for fresh cool air . Patient wishes for cold water and cold drinks . Heat produces restlessness an more eats in the heart. Mouth and nostrils become dry . Patient hates everything . Patient does not bear noise and becomes irritant . some times dry cough , difficulty in breathing , weakness , decreased and burning micturition . In this disease due to the excessive heat , heart size increased . Due to constriction , peri carditis happens . Due to the increased heat , hart enlargement happens , fascial color changes to pale and it also changes the structure of the heart valves . Due to the lack of oxygen and blood to the heart muscles , heart fails . Usually kidneys also suffer from swelling which we can easily guess from the swelling under eyes . In this condition there could be any possibility of brain hemorrhage , hemiplegia or saying good by to this mortal world .

REASONS : Over use of hot and dry foods .

TREATMENT : This disease falls in the category of pulse no. 4 , and by rule its treatment is Medicine no. 5 along with SHARBAT E BAZOORI .

REAL BLOOD PRESSURE

In this type of blood pressure , glandular system is at stimulant state , muscular system becomes dissolved and nerves goes to intense passive state . Here in this situation , enlargement of left ventricle and narrowness of arteries happen . Due to the increased heat in the blood , blood pressure elevates . Usually head , neck , stiffness between both the shoulders and pain are the main symptoms . Swift walk and walking on stairs cause breathlessness . Ability to bear the things comes to minimum level . Burning micturition and excessive anger are the main symptoms . In this condition kidneys produce Renin. Renin cause the increase in in the level of Aldosterone . Aldosterone absorbs the sodium and water from the kidneys and add to the blood , and as a result blood pressure elevates . Function of Angiotensin 2

It is the most powerful factor that elevates the blood pressure . Its ability to constrict the arteries is 200 times more than Nor Adrenaline . Moreover , it increases the pulse rate . It secretes the aldosterone from the renal cortex that increases the overall volume of the plasma by adding more salt into it . These factors result in permanent elevated blood pressure . It means that hypertension happens due to the increased level of Renin .

NOTE

When there is a raised blood pressure due to the higher level of RENIN , production of renin in the body stops to decrease the blood pressure .

Treatment

This disease falls in the category of pulse no. 5 . So according to law of simple organ theory , medicine no. 6 and 1 are prescribed .

CONCLUSION

High blood pressure is usually labeled as a disease but actually it is a symptom . It indicates that there is something wrong inside . Only treating the high blood pressure with high blood pressure pills is not a fine practice . A qualified and experienced herbal practitioner can help its patients to regain the normal values of blood pressure by correcting the internal changes of organ structures and composition of blood .

A patient who takes the medicine but does not follow the instructions of the physician is actually disloyal to himself as well as with his physician . So taking the medicine regularly and changes in food and life style prescribed by the physician is a key to the permanent treatment of the high blood pressure .

Wish you better health .
