High &low blood pressure is not a disease,with medical science so advance,WHY stiill no cure???

When you are sick,say urinary track infection,doctor will prescribe a medicine(antibiotic for full course)after medication ,you are cure.Do not need to take more medicine,

But not when you have low or high pressure ,your doctor will prescribe you with medicine to control/regulate your blood pressure and you need to take it for the rest of your life.basically you are not cure and need to be dependent of the drug.Further down the road,as a result of medication,it lead to more problem,heart problem,then further down,it result in kidneys problem.doctor are not helping people but creating more health problem.When will there be a CURE???.

With medical science so advance ,there is still no cure in sight???

    The previous two answers are so cynical and jaded; I still believe that the vast majority of medical research is motivated by honest desire to find cure (there is, of course, a point to what those cynics say about the pharmaceutical industry, but that's smaller part of it...). Deviant blood pressure can be a sign of a disease - you need more tests - but if they are done, and nothing is wrong, the chances are you can regulate your blood pressure by changing your lifestyle (loosing weight, exercise,...). Try also herbal/alternative/homeopatic remedies. Look into it...

    3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

    I have Type 2 w/ insulin injections. Lowering the sodium levels is essential to both problems. Lots of fresh, unprocessed vegetables and fruits. For the blood pressure, medication has been prescribed. Check with your pharmacist first to check for drug interactions. Then you could try nutmeg, ground and a pinch place under the tongue to dissolve. Also drinking vinegar will thin the blood and reduce the pressure. Both these remedies are natural, but taste awful. You must consult your doctor or pharmacist before adding anything as it might either lesson or strengthen a particular medication.

    There are so many causes of high blood pressure, the necessary thing is to cure the cause of blood pressure and only then can you prevent it. Sometimes it is simply related to age and hardening of the vessels. Sometimes it is caused by an obstruction, so the heart has to pump harder to get the blood to the necessary places. It is one of the most common problems, because it can be caused by so many different things. To be able to find a specific cure you must address the specific underlying disease process.

    I do believe medical science is so advanced and because of that they know how to exploit the American public. They use the words treatment and medicine to reel us in. There would be no market for pharmaceutical companies if they put the "cure" on the market. They want to keep our business by proscribing treatments that also have side effects. Then we need "treatment" for those problems and so on.

    there is more money to be made from treatment, then there is for a cure.
