Cool. So, maybe in a few more years, they’ll be able to figure out how to make a tire pressure reporting system that doesn’t trigger the warning light for no reason.
It will be interesting to see if further research reveals that plaque coating the walls of veins and artiries throw off the pressure readings, kind of like putting stop leak goo in a tire and then confusing the air pressure sensors.
Fascinating article. Thanks for posting.
It’d be good to be off the Lisop/HCTZ. A permanent fix would be nice.
... and yes, I’ve already done the “diet and exercise” thing.
Unless it’s expensive, this will never see the light of day
Can I cure my high blood pressure using this weird trick?
Now they next need to identify if long term issues of how well the kidneys-to-bladder functions are working, or not working so well, has an impact on the renin cells in the kidneys and thus indirectly on blood pressure. I think that is important to finding some of the “first-cause” ways (likely more than one) by which high blood pressure is instigated. Without that sort of question and findings about it, I think many blood pressure related issues remain a “which comes first, the chicken or the egg” kind of question.
How this relates to long time blood pressure remedies is not so far a stretch, given one of the early and easiest remedies has been very simple diuretics that reduce the water in the system and by doing so has some blood pressure lowering affect. It opens the question of why would there be such a remedy needed (and working) if the kidney to bladder functions were always working at their best in the first place? You’d think a water retention issue would originate NOT in the blood pressure it has an affect on, but what is causing the water retention in the first place, and thus attacking the root cause(s) would be better long term aid to blood pressure than diuretic pills.
Good article, thanks for posting. I suffer from both high and low blood pressure that my kidney specialist is treating now. She’s taken me off a lot of blood pressure medication that wasn’t helping me that long term and hurting my kidney function.
I’m going to print the article and show it to my regular and kidney doctors.
