Blood pressure can be lowered without the use of drugs by implant it will in the size of a cell phone. Whenever the blood pressure rises it sends signals to the brain through the carotid arteries in the neck. After getting these signals the brain signals the body to lower blood pressure. The implant works like a pacemaker and it is fixed in the chest.
This implant has been available since 2005. Annette Lawrence had the device surgically implanted in her chest. She said in an interview, "Before I couldn't even get out of bed. I couldn't really do anything."
Lawrence was only 37 when she had the device implanted. Her vascular surgeon, Dr. Karl Illig of the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said, "She constantly had blood pressure up in the 200s The device is basically like a pacemaker. That's the best way to look at it."
The device sends electrical impulses to the brain through the carotid artery, Dr. Illig explained, "that electrical signal is then sent up the nerves into the brain telling the brain, 'Ah ha! Your blood pressure is too high.'"
When the brain gets these signals it intimates the body to decrease the heart rate, open the blood vessels to bring down the blood pressure and to release the fluid from the kidney.
Dr. Illiig said Blood Pressure gets too high, but it is not sensed by the brain so it's just a kick start for the brain to order the heart.
She said, "Since I had this procedure done, boy I tell you, I've got so much energy. I'm ready to keep up with [my grandson]." Lawrence's blood pressure is 175/104 when the device is turned off. Whne the device is turned on the blood pressure immediately drops to normal 143/86.
The implant is inserted under the skin near the collarbone it is done using a surgery. It takes two to three hours for surgery and it is done under general anesthesia. From the cell phone sized device two wires will run to the right and left carotid arteries in the neck. If you are a person who cannot tolerate medication and if all the medications have failed for you then this device is for you.
Losing weight, exercising regularly, being stress free, eating good diet with vegetables and fruits, not using excess alcohol are the best ways to naturally lower high blood pressure or hypertension. The best way to avoid surgery and medication is by following a healthy lifestyle. Following a perfect diet on nutrition can prevent high blood pressure.
Regular physical activity is perhaps the best way to lower blood pressure naturally. Regular exercise not only reduces stress levels but also exercises the vascular system (blood vessels) to reduce hardening of the arteries. Hardened arteries and blocked arteries from high-fat diets contribute to high blood pressure.
