Hypertension Elderly Can Be Cured



How do we medically treat the Hypertension Elderly?

There has been some uncertainty about the relative benefits and risks of treatment for Elderly - 80 years and older.

Taking A Closer Look At The Elderly

The Elderly in certain age brackets is considered as one group of the special population -

other groups include diabetic patients, pregnant women, children and African Americans.

As the nation's population get's older, two out of every three adults age 70 or older could be effected by high blood pressure and require treatment.

As more Elderly are experiencing hypertension treatment, they have been put in three different age groups or brackets and given a name:

  • Young Elderly - age bracket is 65-74 years.
  • Intermediate Elderly - age bracket is 75-84

    years - I am in this bracket - age 82(2009).

  • Senior Elderly - age bracket is 85 + years.
The Best Place To Start

You should definitely start at your medical doctor's office for a complete physical examination -

if the exam reveals high blood pressure/hypertension - you need to know which type:

  1. Primary/Essential Hypertension - no medical known cause or cure - in 90-95% of the cases.
  2. Secondary Hypertension - a specific cause, other than Hypertension itself, that can be diagnosed and cured or at least controlled - in 5-10% of the cases.
  3. Once you know the type you have, you decide what you want to do -

    I had Primary Hypertension and decided to follow the doctor's suggestion - to take medication -

    I was on medication for about 2 years - until March 15, 2008.

    Having Some Things In Common

    We all desire to have good health - including all of the special population.

    In order to have good health we must fight for it.

    From the time of our birth to our death, we are at war with all the things and forces around us.

    Everything outside our physical life is designed to cause our death.

    The very elements that sustain us while we are alive work to decay and disintegrate our body once it is dead.

    To maintain good health, we must have sufficient internal strength to fight off the things that are external. This internal strength comes from Mind, Soul and

    Spirit - we have all of Them - if we expect to win

    this war and live a healthy life without medication, we must use all of Them.

    The most important treatment especially for the Hypertension Elderly - this internal strength.
