Sorry for appearing to be so absolutely brutal with the above bye line "High Blood Pressure, helping you to.....etc." Well actually we "ain't that sorry really" as the majority of us folks behind the site found that it was better to concentrate the mind sooner rather than later.

No doubt you have arrived at the site via one of our glorious Search Engines (cough) in which you have spotted one of the fantastically accurate descriptions of what the site is all about.......or....you just saw the bye line and thought you would check it out.

New Q & A Features within the site

We have set up a new Q & A feature within our Discussion Board for any queries and issues that you may have with High Blood Pressure - go on click here and give it a try. The facility does require you to register but all registration information is confidential and only requires a valid email address so that if you want to remain anonymous if the issue is a "rather delicate" one then you can, so go give it a try!

We are expanding this facility to cover more in depth coverage with regards to the side effects of some types of treatment. As a sufferer myself of the side effects of certain types of medication I am personally interested in hearing from other people about this sort of thing.

If like me you are fed being treated like some human multiple choice test i.e. "Hmnn this is what's happening is it? Oh well. lets try this" then here is the place to let us all know about it and who know we may be able to do something about it. Wouldn't it be great if most Doctors could be a bit more scientific about this rather than giving the impression that their attempts at most forms of diagnosis resembles nothing more than licking their finger and holding it up to see which way the wind id blowing. grrrrr

On the other hand perhaps I need to remember to take my "meds" more frequently (only joking) but this is also another feature that we want to look at. How do we and indeed is it possible to "ween" ourselves of medication and has anyone successfully achieved this to date? If so let us know how you successfully managed to not only come to terms with your High Blood Pressure but also managed to successfully put into practice an alternative therapy programme that helped you to responsibly get your HBP under control.

So to sum up, Success stories (and lots of them hopefully please) but also let us know if things aren't going exactly to plan as a problem shared is a problem halved as they say.

Great. Whatever reason you are here is obviously driving you to do something about it and that's where can help and guide you on your way.

We exist purely as a collective to give each other some moral support in helping to cope with coming to terms with the lifestyle decision you have either just had forced upon you or are about to make.

Yes folks, it's that lifestyle wake up call that says "excuse me but you do have to do something about this, and better now than later". By now you are probably a little confused as to where you have actually arrived at, whether it is a serious informative site or just a collection of folks waiting for the ambulance to arrive!

Don't confuse the attempts at humour with a lack of seriousness in our approach to living with High Blood Pressure (or Hypertension as the medical folks also refer to it as). We are deadly serious (unfortunate pun I know but....) about this because if you aren't deadly serious about it, it will be deadly serious about you......get the drift?

Rule No 1 with High Blood Pressure is DO NOT ever live in denial. One of us tried that and it wasn't the cleverest thing he had have ever done. When he was finally forced to admit that there was something wrong, his blood pressure reading that was taken was 216 over 165! He was later informed rather cheerily by his doctor that he was extremely lucky still to be alive!

OK back to basics. If it is information about what High Blood Pressure is you are after then we cover the basics but also provide you with pointers and links to major Healthcare and Govt / Private Agencies who can give you up to the minute detailed analysis of the latest in technical and medical information. This is in our section entitled "Diagnosis and Information"

If you are "spooked" by the Treatment options on offer then we can also provide background information about basic treatment formats on offer and some of the more homeopathic alternatives available.

Finally, and this is really where we come into our own. We are here because you need to do something about your High Blood Pressure and in your desire to make sure that it remains under control you need to develop an ongoing strategy that you can live your life by. Whether this is just seeking collective motivation to get up and take more exercise or whether you need ideas about helping you change your diet then here we proudly step forward.

Lastly, learn to lighten up a bit. Don't be so serious all the time. At times we may appear slightly less than serious than others and this is primarily an editorial decision (sounds very grand doesn't it) because we all firmly believe that humour is one of the best ways of dealing and learning to cope with this condition. Those who think that we take this subject a little too flippantly ought to read Sylvia Mauger's article "The Use of Humour in Stress Management".

Major Healthcare Warning!

OK, the other major MEGA important piece of information that we have to get over at this point is that we are NOT Medical Professionals.

Dramatic pause here for effect!

We are not qualified to, and cannot (nor would we try to) give anyone any Medical advice. That area is most very definitely for the Doctors and Nurses amongst us. However what we can do is provide a layman's perspective upon matters and try and shed a little guidance and assistance to help you with this subject.

Basically, if you haven't managed to spot it by now, we exist, as mentioned above to act as an information and support site. We aim to help each other and prove support and guidance in the shape of providing links as to where to go for further information etc. Nothing more and nothing less.

If anything on these pages either takes your interest or cause you to take offence (if it is the latter then we wholeheartedly - no pun intended, apologise) then get in touch via the Discussion Board and let us know. If you don't tell how you feel then how can we do anything about it?
