When BP suddenly goes up, your body is trying to tell you something

Occasionally, despite following the medication guidelines properly, you might experience unexpected, sudden increases in Blood Pressure (BP). While this can be disturbing, BP regulation is not exclusively done by medications. Other aspects of life, such as daily routines, stress, sleeping patterns, food intake, and personal health status, all contribute.

The early understanding of these factors allows for efficient BP management and avoids future cardiovascular risks associated with Brain, Heart, or Kidney complications.

What is High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)? – Simple Understanding

High Blood Pressure, otherwise known as Hypertension, is an illness characterised by excessive pressure from the blood on the inner wall of the arteries. It is commonly referred to as a "silent disease" since most patients do not experience any symptoms; however, it slowly deteriorates their body functions.

Types of Hypertension – Various Types Explained Simply

• Primary (Essential) Hypertension: Occurs gradually due to unspecified reasons over the years.

• Secondary Hypertension: Results from another underlying health disorder, such as kidney or hormone complications.
• Hypertensive Crisis: Acute, sudden increase in BP (greater than 180/120 mmHg). This condition requires urgent medical intervention.

Symptoms & Signs – Possible Effects You Might Experience

Most individuals will not observe any symptoms; however, sudden BP increases might result in:

Who is at risk and what can happen?

Checkup Methods (Modern and Ayurveda)

Checkup Methods – Modern Medicine Approach

• Blood pressure check using a BP machine
• 24-hour blood pressure check
• Blood check for sugar level and cholesterol
• ECG or Echo check for heart problems
• Tests for kidney problems

Periodic checkups of blood pressure is the most important part of checking BP problems.

Checkup Methods – Ayurveda Approach

According to Ayurveda, BP issues arise from an imbalance of energies in the body, especially vata and pitta.

• Pulse check (nadi pariksha)
• Analysis of Prakriti or body constitution
• Digestion and detoxification (ama)
• Lifestyle and psychological condition

High Blood Pressure According to Ayurveda: What Are Its Main Causes?

According to the Ayurvedic philosophy, Hypertension isn't seen as a singular disorder. It is rather considered an imbalance of natural body energies – that of the Vata and Pitta Doshas.

• Vata imbalance will create irregular blood circulation due to the disturbances of the circulation process.
• On the other hand, Pitta imbalance will increase heat and intensity of blood.

These imbalances, combined with improper metabolism (Agni) and the accumulation of toxins (Ama), could result in high blood pressure.

Other causes associated with BP problems are:

• Mental stress and overthinking
• Unhealthy living habits
• Poor dietary practices
• Absence of discipline in daily routine

The ultimate goal here is to address the problem itself, not the symptoms.

Jiva Ayurveda adopts an individualised and holistic way of managing BP:

• Nadi Pariksha – Pulse diagnosis to identify internal disturbances
• Individualised Herbal Medicines – Depending on your situation
• Diet and Lifestyle Management – Easy-to-do changes
• Techniques for Managing Stress – Meditation and breathing exercises

The emphasis is on dosha balancing, digestive improvement, and mind relaxation, thus controlling BP.

• Arjuna – Supports heart functions and promotes blood flow
• Brahmi – Provides mental relaxation and anxiety relief
• Sarpagandha – Known for its BP-lowering abilities
• Jatamansi – Assists in mind relaxation and good sleep

Some external therapies and Panchakarma therapies can be beneficial in controlling BP:

1. Shirodhara – Application of warm medicinal oil to the forehead for calming the mind
2. Abhyanga (massaging with oil) – Enhances circulation of blood and relaxation of the body
3. Swedana (medicated steam bath) – Detoxification therapy

Patient Testimonial - Meera

For the past 2 years, I was taking BP pills every day. If I missed one, my head would start spinning. One day, I saw Dr Chauhan speaking about the success stories of Jiva Ayurveda. So, I decided to meet a Jiva doctor. Medicines continued for 8 months, and now I don't need to take BP pills daily! Thank you, Jiva Ayurveda.
