With high blood pressure, jokes are bad, and if it kicks in, it's important to act quickly. It is good to have blood pressure lowering medications on hand, but there are times when they are simply not at hand.
The other day I learned about one method that allows you to quickly lower blood pressure without the use of drugs.
We live in a rural area, the city is 23 km away, and accordingly the ambulance takes a long time to reach us. Therefore, local residents often get by with folk methods.
It so happened that after the holidays, my neighbor felt bad, the pressure jumped strongly 200/115, it became hard for her to breathe and she just fell on her side while rolling her eyes. Of course, I called an ambulance, but I understood that while we were waiting for it, precious time was running out.
Then I ran after another neighbor, hoping that she had some medicine. But the neighbor took not medicine, as I expected, but two plastic bottles.
Then she filled the bottles with tolerably hot water from the boiler, put the patient to bed and put one bottle under her neck in the collar zone, and the other under her knees.
At the same time, she measured her pressure every 2 minutes.
Oddly enough, the patient's blood pressure dropped very quickly.
As the neighbor said, this method very quickly and effectively reduces blood pressure. But, it is important to measure blood pressure often, when the bottles are removed, the pressure continues to decrease, but much more slowly.
Therefore, the bottles must be removed as soon as the pressure begins to normalize, then it will gradually return to normal.
Also, the neighbor shared another trick. If at high pressure there are no bottles at hand, you can heat your palms, for example, on a battery (heating system), so that they become hot and alternately, then one palm, then the other (hot) apply to neck. Helps a lot.
In the summer, when the heating system is not working, the palms can be heated in hot water and applied to the neck and temples.
