Can â€"the best treatment known at present is to help the patient view high blood pressure as a challenge to him to use his common sense about his living haâ€" bits. And the living habit of most imâ€" portance is keeping himself from fearâ€" ing his high blood pressure. Fear and anxicty, both raise the blood pressure and thus the elastic tissue of the blood vessels is kept on the stretch and must in time lose some of its elasticity, Two of the safeguards of blood presâ€" sure are food and exercise Too much of either is dangerous and not enough is likewise dangerous One of the best forms of treatment for high blood pressure is mental and physical rest, but if too much rest is taken together with too much food for the amount of exercise is eaten, then overweight is likely to result In speaking of the value of rest in high blood pressure, Dr. Irvine H. Page, in his book "Hypertension" (high blood pressure)» states:â€"*"Most high blood pressure patients must learn to sleep, or doze, whenever opportunity occurs. This is a habit that can. be formed and may be almost life saving. The blocod presâ€" sure tends to rise steadily as the day goes on. For this reason it is desirâ€" able to break this rise in pressure about goes on. For this reason it is desirâ€" able to break this rise in pressure about every four or five hours, To make a break in the rise) in blood pressure it is not necessary to take a long rest; ten minutes may be enough." Dr. Page‘s advice is: Rise at eight or a little later: work until elevenâ€" REST, FOOD, AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE While there are drugs that temporâ€" arily control high blood pressure by keeping the patient relaxedâ€"less tense Another point about rest and high blood pressure is that rest should be taken regularly and according to soms sensible plan, so that it does not make an invalid out of the patient. Some business men who are apparently ‘"in conference" are quite wisely taking a rest â€"at 11 a. m. and 4 p. m. Getting these few minutes away from their work not only means physiâ€" cal rest for the heart and blood vessels but the constant activity of their work and surroundings of their work is conâ€" stant stimulus to body and brain pre« Dr. Page‘s advice is: Rise at eight or a little later; work until elevenâ€" thirty... Take a nap or twentyâ€"five minutes rest period before twelve. Quit work at threeâ€"thirty or four. Moderate exercise outdoors until five. Bath and nap from five ta sixâ€"thirty.
