One Thirty Over Eighty: How America Lowered the Hypertension Line While Europe Held Steady

A single edit to a single table turned tens of millions of healthy Americans into patients overnight. The question is whether the line was drawn for them or for the people who bill them. In November of 2017, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association released a clinical guideline that ran to roughly four hundred and eighty pages, and somewhere in the front matter they moved a single number. The threshold for diagnosing high blood pressure fell from 140/90 to 130/80. Nobody's artery changed that day. No chest tightened, no vessel narrowed, no symptom appeared. And yet, by the arithmetic of that one revision, about thirty-one million Americans who had been healthy the previous evening were now classified as having a chronic cardiovascular disease. National prevalence of hypertension climbed from near thirty-two percent of adults to near forty-six percent between one edition of a document and the next, and among adults under forty-five the rate more than doubled. Nothing about the population's arteries had changed; only the boundary of the word had moved. […]

Your Blood Pressure Reading Contains A Hidden Number and Here’s Why It Matters

Longhua Liao You’re likely familiar with getting your blood pressure taken, the cuff squeezing your arm before generating two numbers. Yet this vital sign contains a third, lesser-known number that matters for brain and heart health: pulse pressure. While blood pressure measures how much pressure the blood puts on the arteries while the heart is beating and at rest, pulse pressure provides a window into how flexible and elastic the arteries are, a sign of cardiovascular […]

Eating more beans and soy could slash high blood pressure risk by nearly 30%

Eating more beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and other soy foods could be a surprisingly powerful way to fight high blood pressure. A major analysis of studies from around the world found that people with the highest intake of legumes were 16% less likely to develop hypertension, while those eating the most soy foods had a 19% lower risk.

Beet juice lowers blood pressure in older adults in just 2 weeks

Drinking nitrate-rich beetroot juice may do more than support heart health — it could actually reshape the bacteria living in the mouth in ways that help lower blood pressure in older adults. In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that older people who drank concentrated beetroot juice twice daily for two weeks experienced noticeable blood pressure reductions, while younger adults did not.

QUESTIONS

1
My main question is for tips on how to manage orthostatic hypotension.
There is a lot of discussion about what to concentrate on during training with hypotension versus hypertension, but the first question is probably: Should I even treat this as a hypotension and concentrate on getting my blood pressure up or should I rather concentrate on better regulation of blood pressure, if that is even possible. For example for burnout I learned that to reduce stress the goal is not to get the heart rate down, but to increase the heart rate variability (HRV). Is there such a thing as training for blood pressure variability/flexibility?

2
Next question is for tips on how to manage burnout and PAIS if and when I get both at the same time.
My burnout management involves lots of activities ranging from light intensity long walks to sprints and high intensity interval training and strength training as well as lots of meditation, breathing exercises. I try to go for a walk for at least one hour after every meal, because (at least during a sick-leave) meals cause the most and longest lasting stress if I don't walk it out. That's why I try to eat only once a day at noon - eating in the evening can ruin my sleep.
My management during an infection that feels like the start of a PAIS involves lots of sleeping without any circadian rhythm detectable and very little activity.
My management of PAIS involves pacing which I'm not good at yet though. It's really hard to know what is too much and what is too little. But I guess I can't be very wrong with just lots of slow walking without too much uphill parts.

Now if you have any other general tips on managing any of the mentioned ailments feel free to let me know. I didn't mention everything I know already, but feel free to also mention things you assume I already know.
