HOMEOPATHY IN HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (HYPERTENSION)A
blood pressure above 130/80 in any person needs to be invesigated &
if necessary treated. The cause of high blood pressure cannot be
traced in 95% of the patients. However in any patient with 3-4 consecutive
readings above 130/80 within a span of 2-3 weeks needs to be investigated
for the cause of high blood pressure especially if he/she is below 30
years of age. One also needs to know if the patient has been
on any medication & whether there has been any significant change
in weight in the last few months. Routine tests which must be done
include an electrocardiogram(ECG), Chest X-Ray, blood tests for
kidney function, diabetes & cholesterol. Then if felt necessary, some
tests for some hormonal studies may need to be done though it is not very
common. Patients whose reports are all normal & where the lower
value of BP is below 100 salt restriction, exercises & weight
reduction if necessary is often advised with the aim of avoiding medcation.
This if done regularly often avoids the need for medicines. However for
higher BP or for patients in whom the above measured fail to reduce the
BP, medication is necessary. In patients who are on high doses of
BP reducing allopathic medicines or in patients whose lower value is above
120, allopathic medicines may need to be continued with homeopathic
medicines for sometime. Later as the BP lowers, the dose of allopathic
medicines can be tapered.
