Hypertension that has reached the “gray zone” can be successfully corrected without medications in the absence of serious chronic pathologies, doctors Elena Malysheva and German Gandelman spoke about this.
Doctors Malysheva and Gandelman reported the existence of a “gray zone” of hypertension.
“Normal pressure figures are considered to be 120 to 80 mm Hg. Art. and below. Interval from 130 to 90 mm Hg. Art. this is already hypertension, but still not severe, but just that gray area,” the doctors shared.
Experts clarified that it is possible to correct hypertension in such a “gray zone” without the use of drugs, but there are categories of patients who cannot do without taking drugs. Such people have chronic disorders in which even a slight increase in blood pressure can be dangerous. In particular, the risk group consists of people 65 years of age and older, diabetics, people with coronary heart disease or heart failure, and kidney disease.
“In the risk group, you must definitely start taking pills even with a low increase in blood pressure,” they emphasized specialists.
Doctors reported that people without disorders from the risk group can easily correct hypertension in the “gray zone” without drugs – only by adjusting their lifestyle.

- Getting rid of extra pounds and maintaining a normal weight;
