No Reason To Be Worried If You Notice Signs Of High Blood Pressure In Pregnancy

Whenever signs of high blood pressure in pregnancy are noticed they portend to something serious though at the same time it must be said that a majority of women that notice these signs during their pregnancy will still go on to give natural birth without being affected adversely by the different signs of high blood pressure in pregnancy.

Gestational Hypertension Is One Of The Signs Of High Blood Pressure In Pregnancy

In fact, according to studies on signs of high blood pressure in pregnancy it has been established that approximately six percent of women that do not have high blood pressure will nevertheless develop signs of high blood pressure in pregnancy and such conditions are termed as gestational hypertension.

Every pregnant woman is at risk of developing signs of high blood pressure in pregnancy though certain women are more at risk and these include women that have already seen signs of high blood pressure in a previous pregnancy. Women of age less than twenty and more than forty, also with heavy weight are likely to be affected by high blood pressure during pregnancy.

In fact, women that are about to give birth to twins too will notice signs of high blood pressure in pregnancy and the same is the case with women that already have a diabetic problem or whose kidneys are in less than perfect working condition.

A woman that develops signs of high blood pressure in pregnancywill generally not have to worry on account of other serious health concerns though there are lurking dangers present that can strike them down at any time. Elevated level of blood pressure may harm the kidneys of a pregnant mother and there may be a risk of operation and also health risk to unborn baby as well as pregnant mother.

It is essential that a doctor monitors for signs of high blood pressure in pregnancy and any serious condition should be dealt with at the earliest. However, as yet there is no way that a pregnant mother can avoid the signs of high blood pressure in pregnancy and must therefore have to contend with treating the signs after they have developed.

Even if you have been feeling well and enjoy good health you need to keep in mind the fact that there are seldom any warning signs of high blood pressure that will help you determine whether you have developed hypertension – at least not till such time as the condition has seriously worsened. This in turn means that you need to closely monitor your blood pressure at all times so that early detection of high blood pressure is possible.

NUTRITION: HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE CAUSES & SOLUTIONS

What is happening in America? So many people walking around with high blood pressure (hypertension) and not getting any better. Obviously, this ailment is not understood except to treat the symptoms rather than the underlying problem. Below here are some pervasive stats from the American Heart Association that indicates just how this condition is not improving:

High blood pressure (hypertension) killed 57,356 people in the United States in 2005.

  • About 73.6 million people in the United States age 20 and older have high blood pressure.
  • One in three adults has high blood pressure.
  • Of those people with high blood pressure, 78.7 percent were aware of their condition.
  • Of all people with high blood pressure, 69.1 percent were under current treatment, 45.4 percent had it under control, and 54.6 percent did not have it controlled.
  • The cause of 90-95 percent of the cases of high blood pressure isn’t known; however, high blood pressure is easily detected and usually controllable.
  • From 1995 to 2005 the death rate from high blood pressure increased 25.2 percent, and the actual number of deaths rose 56.4 percent.

  • In 2005 the death rates per 100,000 population from high blood pressure were 15.8 for white males, 52.1 for black males, 15.1 for white females and 40.3 for black females

As you can see this is a serious epidemic in the U.S. and it seems we are not taking a deserving all out attack on this enemy. This is a more extreme threat than any terrorist attack. This is where the money and research needs to be focussed. Wouldn’t you agree?

It is very clear to see that one contributing cause of the condition is not knowing the origin which is essential to finding its solution.

The UNDERLYING CAUSE 

DO YOU HAVE TOXIC BLOOD? HOW DOES THE BLOOD BECOME TOXIC?

When the blood becomes saturated with unfiltered blood then its ability to maintain body systems and organs is compromised. Blood quality determines every cell’s capability to carry out its function. The blood has the potential to nourish or pollute the entire body. As we age, over-stress, ingest a poor diet, etc. blood components can build up unless detoxification is employed or the primary blood filters in the body are supported to do their function.

The liver, spleen, and every circulatory system organ can be involved in an obstructive process that impedes natural blood flow. This results in the body lowering in energy or Qi (Traditional Chinese medicine), high blood pressure, with every body function suffering from poor nutrition and de-oxygenation. No amount of vitamins or minerals can overcome the level of toxicity that develops except through gradual elimination of toxins in the blood. If detoxification happens too quickly, then a crisis can occur where nausea, exhaustion, and further setbacks in the cleansing process. If elimination is allowed to proceed on a gradual improving pace then expulsion is optimized. This requires working with the body as opposed to making physiology conform to a standardized strategy.

If the blood remains toxic for too long then an acidic environment is created. The result is a breakdown of vascular walls. This involves a scarring effect with blood components filling in the damged areas. This build-up complicates the process of cleansing. If the circulatory plumbing is not cleared out then all organs suffer while the aging process speeds up. Its important at this stage that balance is re-established before established damage occurs.

There are different conditions that are involved with causation of toxic build-up. From a Chinese medicine perspective, the body can involve singular or multiple constitutional conditions. The primary (6) body types are:


cold<—————>hot
damp<————->dry
deficient<——–>excess

When the body becomes or specific organ become extreme in one of the constitutional conditions above then toxicity occurs. In order to move the imbalance or over toxicity to a balanced or neutral status, the body or its organ(s) need help to move in the other direction of the continuum.

Additionally, Its very important to discern which constitution is primary so treatment priority can be arrived at before tackling obvious symptoms. Again, the goal of the correction process is to achieve balance or neutral status. That is the mid-point between cold and hot, damp and dry, and deficient and excess. Establishing the center of these continuums brings about optimal health where the symptoms subside, health anchors.

Summary: Excess constitution with heat and dampness characteristics stemming from over-ingestion of rich, greasy, spicy, refined, intoxicating foods. Foods: excess red meat, eggs, cheese, fried foods, salt, excess sweet, refined & stale flour and oil products, chemicals, drugs and acoholic drinks.

When the body becomes overwhelmed by the above foods then the blood, organs and body becomes toxic and malfuctioning. The excess wears the body down into deficiency resulting in conditions of arthritis, tumor, diabetes, etc. The blockages in vasularity produces heat and pressure resulting in the following conditions – high blood pressure, constipation, excess weight, stroke and circulation ailments. The remedy is purging and cleansing.with bitter herbs and foods. Bitter cools and reduces dampness in the body. There may be exceptions which require a seasoned Master herbalist’s (traditional chinese herbs) input.
