Vertigo and High Blood Pressure Connection
Even
if you suffer from both vertigo
and high blood pressure, you may not be aware there is a connection between
the two. You might write each one off as separate conditions that need to be
treated separately.
But
as with so many other conditions, a high percentage of people experiencing vertigo
regularly also have high blood pressure. And the fact is, long lasting hypertension very
often causes chronic vertigo, dizziness
and lightshades.
How?
That’s the subject of today’s feature post. To learn more read on here to find
out about the connection between vertigo
and high blood pressure.
You
see, vertigo
is not a subject that should be taken lightly. It’s the third most common
symptom in primary care and even more common among elderly. It’s also a
condition with apparently many different causes but no cure (at least from the
traditional medical system – more on natural solutions in a bit).
Vertigo is most often blamed
on some kind of dysfunction in the balance system. Either the the inner ear,
eyes or nerves are typical suspects. However, I have found that more often it’s
caused by lack of blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain. This causes
lightshades, vertigo
and dizzy
feelings.
Our
vertigo
and dizziness
exercises have worked wonders to permanently cure vertigo by loosening up the muscles associated with balance,
which both fixes misalignment between the eyes and the inner ear as well as
increasing blood flow up to the brain.
High
blood pressure, however, also causes lack of blood delivery up to the brain. When the arteries leading up to
the head are constantly hit with high blood pressure, they harden and narrow
and less blood can be delivered through them. This is the reason why high blood
pressure increases the risk of stroke and heart attack.
So
in essence, vertigo
can be regarded as a big warning sign for stroke and heart attack as it’s an
indication that the arteries running up to the head have begun to harden and
blood flow is reduced.
You
may think that a small reduction of blood flow is not such a big deal but think
again. Although the brain only counts for about 2% of our body weight, it uses
20-40% of all oxygen we inhale. Even if we can live five minutes without
breathing, our brain continues to receive oxygen we still have in our lungs and
blood stream.
However,
within 10 seconds of cutting off oxygen delivery to the brain, we lose
consciousness. And brain damage begins to develop within seconds more. It’s the
most important “nutrition” our brain gets.
So
you can imagine there are serious consequences even if your brain is only
slightly deprived of oxygen. Studies have shown that mice that received 85% of
normal oxygen began to develop dementia symptoms within days. That’s how
Alzheimer’s (again condition mostly associated with aging) has been linked to
long-term lack of blood flow into the brain.
Another
warning sign is if you experience tension in the neck. Hardening of the arteries
and lack of blood flow leads to tension in the neck, jaw and other muscles
surrounding that area. People compensate by physically tilting their heads,
which leads to a misalignment between the eyes and the inner ear. This worsens vertigo
and dizziness.
What You Can Do If
You Have Vertigo and High Blood Pressure
The
good news is that new studies have shown that if you manage to lower your blood
pressure using natural methods, diet changes, lifestyle changes or our high blood pressure program, your arteries will begin
to soften up again, delivering more blood flow throughout the body.
Interestingly,
the same benefits do not seem to appear when using drugs.
Whether
or not you’ve high blood pressure in association with your vertigo, you should
definitely check out our vertigo and dizziness program.
And
if you do have high blood pressure, our high blood pressure program has helped
thousands of people to drop their blood pressure down to normal- usually within
a week. Learn more about this programhere…
This post is from the
Vertigo and Dizziness Program, which was created by Christian Goodman. This is
an all-natural system that utilizes the power of exercises to permanently cure
your vertigo and dizziness. This will help to eliminate tension and improve
your blood flow and balance.
From this Vertigo
Relief Program, you will learn to strengthen your tongue, achieve whole-body
balance, relieve tension and enhance your overall well-being.
