WHY MONITORING YOUR LIFESTYLES BESIDE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Nutritional, physical and psychosocial factors influence blood pressure (BP), and the management of these factors - that we’ll call lifestyles - has been shown to reduce BP . The number of lifestyle changes that can affect blood pressure are many; however, no more than a few can be identified by your doctor to certainly lower your hypertension. Some lifestyles changes that work for other people will have no or little effect on you.
BMC-hypertensioncenter.com allows you to discover which lifestyle changes impact your blood pressure the most. You can reduce your blood pressure making only the lifestyle changes that really work for you.
Additionally, in February 2014 the Eighth Joint National Committee released controversial guidelines that raised the medicinal treatment threshold for people over 60 . This doesn’t mean that people should consider hypertension less dangerous, it actually makes natural ways to reduce blood pressure even more important.
BMC-hypertensioncenter.com accomplishes its goal by recording your blood pressure and the lifestyle that you have follows for a few weeks, and showing you, in an easy to read chart, the comparison of your blood pressure with the new lifestyle. Some well-known lifestyles that impact blood pressure in many people are already provided in your form.
BMC-hypertensioncenter.com will also automatically record your BMC therapy sessions, and will show you charts, so you can easily find out whether the BMC therapy is working for you.
In addition, you can add any other lifestyle that you believe can impact your blood pressure, and keep track of how your blood pressure changes by changing that lifestyle.
If you are not interested to know which lifestyle change can lower your blood pressure, you can still use BMC-hypertensioncenter.com to simply log your blood pressure and use its advanced features to have the most accurate blood pressure readings ever possible.
NOT JUST A LOG BUT AN ACCURATE LOG
BMC-hypertensioncenter.com provides tools to help you to have a very accurate log of your blood pressure:
- When you record your BP reading, you are asked to reply to a few questions that are useful to understand if your BP might have been altered by temporary conditions. Your reply will be printed in your log, so you can remember those conditions and share them with your doctor. Some readings, that might be particularly altered, will be automatically excluded from charts, but shown on the log with info useful to your doctor who can see your BP under particular conditions. When this happens, BMC-hypertensioncenter.com reminds you to take your blood pressure again after a certain amount of time.
- When you record your BP, BMC-hypertensioncenter.com advises you to take another reading, so it can compare the two readings, and, if they diverge over a threshold, it advises you to take additional readings until the reading are stable.
REQUIREMENTS
To use this site you need:
- A blood pressure monitor (sphygmomanometer). An automatic one is strongly recommended especially if you take your blood pressure by yourself.
- A computer, or tablet, or smart phone connected to the Internet, (better with a large screen).
- To take your BP almost every day, and input your reading on the “record my BP” page. The more readings you log, the better idea you and your doctor will have to control your blood pressure.
- If you are performing a BMC therapy session, it is also recommended that you take your BP before and after your session; so a chart can show you the effect of the session on your BP. The reading taken before your session will also be used as a regular reading in your log and charts, while the reading taken after the session will not be used in the standard charts.
- To answer a few questions which allow the system to understand if your reading is accurate or it could have been altered by some temporary conditions like drinking a coffee, getting emotional, exercising, etc.
- To fill out once a week a form to record the changes in your lifestyles and/or food that could impact your long term blood pressure.
- To check the charts that show you how your BP has changed based on your lifestyle changes to find out the ones that best suit you. This step should be accomplished together with your doctor.
HOW TO DISCOVER LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT WORK FOR YOU
You should plan your strategy with your doctor who should target the plan with your specific conditions and medical history.
One way to proceed is to start making all changes that your doctor thinks will work for you or are good for your general health, and keep working on them for some time. Then you can start making some experiments, and change another lifestyle that you and your doctor think might affect your BP and check the result in a few weeks. A good strategy is to make only one change every few weeks. In such a case it will be easy to see the result of the lifestyle change in the chart.
Beside the lifestyles and food already provided in the form, you can add as many items as you wish and analyze them. For example, you can analyze:
- Specific foods or groups of food
- Medicines (never change medicine without your doctor's approval)
- Food supplements
- Lifestyles
- Activities
- Habits
- Therapies
- Hobbies
- Sports
- Anything else
All you have to do to add a new lifestyle is to provide a name to it, and choose how to measure it. Then the lifestyle will appear in your weekly lifestyle changes form.
You can take your BP several times a day, and have important information for your doctor.
