People with greatly elevated blood pressure commonly have symptoms of dizziness, shortness of breath, headache, and blurred vision. In mild to moderate blood pressure elevation, there may be no symptoms. The diastolic or resting heart pressure is the second number of the blood pressure reading. In younger patients with diastolic pressures of 110 millimeters of mercury or higher, headaches in the morning are common.
Breathlessness produced by easy effort, such as slow walking, is common. The patient may notice pulsation of neck veins, which may also be swollen and distended. A clicking or roaring or ringing in the ears is a frequent finding.
High blood pressure patients commonly complain of frequent need to urinate after they have gone to bed for the night, even though kidney function may be normal. Hypertension commonly occurs as the result of local ischemia (loss of oxygen carried by the blood) which has resulted from atheromatous narrowing (occlusion) of an artery in the brain, heart, or lower limbs.
As the pressure continues its abnormal rise, death or damage to the heart, brain, or kidneys is likely. The heart will enlarge, kidneys begin to fail, and uremia is present. Stroke is common.
Aerobic exercise, liver function, and supplementation with digestive enzymes and selected amino acids can enable the patient to favorably adjust the HDL/LDL ratio, and hence reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
EDTA chelation treatment can help patients with very advanced chronic diseases and in the majority of cases bring the patient back to normal functioning. EDTA treatment can clean up the blood vessels and organs of even the most severely ill patients, and many times the patient can then be successfully treated with the usual conventional treatments. Another common medical practice in this country is that of treating patients only when they exhibit symptoms of chronic illness. The rule seems to be, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” which is fine, as long as it’s someone else’s health that needs to be “broken.” How much better would it be if we could spend more resources and attention on keeping people well, rather than concentrating on trying to make people better after they are sick. We should concentrate on health improvement and maintenance. During EDTA oral chelation therapy, it is recommended to take a broad spectrum mineral supplement.
