Videos are a brand new feature of Control-Your-Blood-Pressure.com in response to the overwhelming popularity of web video on sites such as You-Tube. New videos will be added regularly.
Most of the videos will display a "Play" button in the middle of the screen after loading. Just click on it to play. Again, apologies to dial up users who may not
be able to view these videos.
Breatheasy Visualization
This is a little promotion I did for Breatheasy using the nifty (and highly recommended) Visualization feature of Windows Media Player.
I've embedded the video on the page so you can watch it right here if you wish. But why not click here instead and watch it directly on YouTube? (every view helps boost it in the ratings!!)
Effects Of High Blood Pressure On Your Body
Clear graphical demonstration of what high blood pressure does to blood vessels and why it's so important to open them up and improve circulation.
How to Use a Digital Blood Pressure Monitor
This is a useful video because it provides guidelines for the use of the vast majority of digital monitors on the market today for self-monitoring of blood pressure. Despite its slightly pedantic tone, I chose this British video because it quotes the long-established reading of 140 over 90 as the starting point of high blood pressure.
Most doctors in America have switched to the newer guideline of 130/80, placing millions more people into an illness category (and creating millions more drug customers?) regardless of age and other factors!
Beavis Checks His Blood Pressure
Can't resist including this priceless episode from Beavis and Butthead. Disregard the Portuguese subtitles - unless you're Portuguese! - as the soundtrack is the original English.
