Symptoms & Causes of High Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.*
You may struggle from high blood pressure, but not be aware of it. Most people show no signs or symptoms, even if blood pressure readings reach dangerously high levels. Sufferers of high blood pressure may have headaches, shortness of breath or nosebleeds, but these signs and symptoms aren’t specific and usually don’t occur until high blood pressure has reached a severe or life-threatening stage.*
There are two types of high blood pressure; primary and secondary hypertension. Primary (essential) hypertension, tends to develop gradually over many years. There’s a variety of conditions and medications that can lead to secondary hypertension, including*:
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Kidney problems
- Adrenal gland tumors
- Thyroid problems
- Certain defects you’re born with (congenital) in blood vessels
Many risk factors are out of your control. These include: age, weight, sex, race, family history, and more. In order to take the best course of action to reach out to a doctor at Sofia to learn what you can control.*

Acupuncture works by stimulating your nerves, which release hormones, which then increase your threshold of pain.

Aside from this, acupuncture decreases stress which is essential when wanting to improve heart health.* By introducing needles into the skin at certain identified points along these meridians, the balance of forces is thought to be modified to the benefit of the patient.*
Tui Na
This manipulative therapy releases energy blocks in the body via pathways called meridians. Blockages in these meridians can lead to pain and illness. Using either acupressure or acupuncture to help release them can correct imbalances and restore wellness.*
