bp causes - #13954
I am really worried about my blood pressure. It’s been fluctuating a lot lately, and my doctor mentioned some possible bp causes, but I'm not clear on what they really are. Like last week, I felt dizzy and my heart was racing, so they did some tests. They said that stress could be a factor, but honestly, stress is always part of my life, you know? I work long hours, have family stuff going on, and that can’t be the only reason. They also mentioned that diet can be one of the bp causes but I think I eat relatively okay? I mean, I try to watch my salt intake but maybe not enough? Anyone else have similar issues? I have also heard that genetics might play a role, as my dad had hypertension. I never thought about that before, but if my family has it, does that mean I’m likely doomed? I want to figure out what other bp causes there might be. I read somewhere that lack of sleep can impact bp too, and omg I haven't been sleeping well at all lately, especially with all the work stress. I'm just lost on what I should be focusing on to help get my bp back to normal. Any thoughts or advice would really help!
