You wouldn\u2019t think that a blood pressure score of 320\/150 mmHg was even possible, let alone that a person with such a score could survive so long.<\/p>\nYou wouldn\u2019t think that a blood pressure score of 320\/150 mmHg was even possible, let alone that a person with such a score could survive so long.<\/p>\n
However, scientists from the University of Bristol and the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust discovered people just like this. <\/p>\n
But luckily for the patients, the researchers have found a natural cure for high blood pressure, meaning that they had to rely on conventional high blood pressure treatments that don\u2019t even work.<\/p>\n
The scientists used a procedure called deep brain stimulation, a common treatment typically used on people with Parkinson\u2019s disease and obsessive-compulsive disorder.<\/p>\n
The neurostimulator works like a pacemaker. It sends electrical impulses through a wire straight to the targeted area in the brain.<\/p>\n
After two years of treatment, one subject\u2019s blood pressure, whose systolic score started at 320 mm\/Hg, dropped to over 150 points.<\/p>\n
In theory, if scientists can identify the area of your brain responsible for your disease or its symptoms, they can target it with deep brain stimulation.<\/p>\n
This is yet more proof that high blood pressure is caused by some kind of stress \u2013 and that stress can be managed by your brain.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s an easier way to drop your blood pressure than being hooked up to wires. <\/p>\n
