Those with high blood pressure have a new reason to take action: the condition may affect their interactions with other people.
In a new study published in the most recent edition of Psychosomatic Medicine, scientists discovered that high blood pressure brought on higher-than-normal levels of “emotional dampening”, or an inability to read facial expressions in other people. The researchers note that this condition can make it harder for those with high blood pressure to connect with others.
Scientists aren’t sure how hypertension affects emotional recognition, but they hypothesize that it has something to do with hypertension’s ability to affect brain function.
Here is the easiest method for lowering blood pressure naturally…
so what is the price for lowering high blood preesure.
Don't know if it's the format used by this website or my computer, but am unable to click on any link on this page and get the info. They all state: "Method not implemented".
I need to read more on this finding. This small paragragh does little to support their calm.
I have sufferd from hypertension for a number of years. I have read many report on the side-effects and how hypertension affects people but never have I heard such a load of rubbish as in this report.
I thought my problem was hypertension when the blood pressure jumped from 112 / 70, to 165 / 110! I could not for the life of me, literally, figure out why my bp was taking such a jump! Then I discovered the effect of microwavesw and the aha appeared. Now I have to figure out what to do about all of this and how to defend myself. Computer, cell phones, TV sets, on and on and on, and increasing numbers of cell towers, wireless services, routers, all play in the picture. It is really time to get very informed on what we are doing to ourselves!
Well I think Marcia Barlow has hit on something real here as I have always found my blood pressure increase quite a bit after being on line for a while. More particularly I live within a few hundred yards of a TV mast which pumps out gallons of microwaves and I am sure It has a detrimental effect on my BP and eyes and tiredness symptons I’ve had for years now. If I used a library computer for more than 15 minutes I would find it would draw my eyes and I just had to get out and away from the bloody thing. True.!!!
that's crap!- lets just make people even more worried!- any thing positive to say?
I have high blood pressure, but I no problem relating to other people. The only social situation that I avoid is verbal confrontations. Fussing and arguing really affects my emotional state, so I just don't particpate. My grandmother always told me that if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all. Also, I have realized that thinking positive and speaking positive to other people helps to lower my blood pressure.
I have had high blood pressure for 20 years and really find your claim of not being able to read facial expressions dubious at best…I am a therapist and am very good at reading facial expressions but my skill is not the result of book learning or studying..It just comes naturally..and it a tool in the therapists belt…
I have been using this program for about 3 months and so far I see , no improvement at all, May be it is just me, any suggestions.
Thanks
I have found from years of world travel, meeting new people every day as a tourguide in San Francisco, working with every age, gender and ethnic group around the Bay Area and the world, that it seems to be pretty clear: some people “tune in” to others and their emotions, others never will, can’t do it. IN the latter category are a lot of males, especially those from US, Canada, Australia and northern Europe. From “third-world” countries, both men and women seem to be much more aware of others’ emotions.
So to me, it’s clear, that it’s both gender training and cultural expectations. If a ruthless emotionless male in northern countries can do much better in his profession or politics, then his parents, esp. the mother, will raise him to be so. If he’s “Sensitive”, he can even be suspected of being gay! In fact, gay males around the San Francisco area seem to be inordinately sensitive and easily offended, and terribly concerned with others’ emotions, to the point that it’s self-defeating and emotionally crippling – anxieties begin to mount as one focuses on others’ emotions, those angry ones in particular. Learn to ignore, as the Chinese do!
if we all got a life and stopped worrying about all our natural occurrences in day to day living, all these nonsense theories would not arise.
Apart from an unfortunate few ‘ good food plenty of exercise and keeping busy day to day would reduce a majority of disease of all kinds in the great old bliney.so get on with it and stop reading hypothetical surveys.
