Around 30 per cent of people with high blood pressure are drug resistant: They can’t (or don’t) control their heart –harmful condition even with multiple medications and lifestyle changes. But a new discovery may do more to rearrange their numbers. Turns out, if you deactive certain nerves that control contraction and dilation of blood vessels in the kidney , it lowers blood pressure instantly. Using radio waves to zap the nerves of 106 patients, research showed big improvements in BP with no substantial complications.
In the meantime, if you’re struggling to lower your blood pressure , here’s a tough question: Are you really following your prescribed medication regimen and upgrading your lifestyle habits? About 50 per cent of the people with chronic health problems (hypertension included) don’t take their medication either at all or as prescribed.
