Or,
how much time does one have before one is marked for the bypass
operation?
|
|
| |
|
|
Generally,
about 30 years. Yes, you read that right. The day you begin medication
for hypertension/high blood pressure is the day your bypass clock
begins to tick.

Take
a rubber pipe in which water is flowing. Cover the outlet partially
with your thumb. The water begins to spray and comes out in a stronger
stream because the water pressure inside the pipe has gone up. When
there is the beginning of an obstruction in your blood vessels (the
build up of plaque is throughout the bloodline and not confined to just
the arteries), the blood pressure goes up and you need medication to
keep it artificially under control. If there were no obstruction to the
blood flow there would not be any increase in the blood pressure.
It’s as simple as that although stress does add to
hypertension and blockages.

Some
of the early warning signs that your arteries are getting clogged and
the circulation of the blood is being impaired are: numbness in the
arms or legs, or the arms or legs go to sleep; cramps in the hands or
feet at night, or the toes and fingers feel cold.
Bleeding
gums is also an early
indicator that
heart disease may be present.

When
you get swelling in the ankles, which is not related to kidney
dysfunction, at the end of the day, or when you become breathless while
talking to a friend during a walk, or lose your breath while climbing
stairs (if any respiratory connection can be ruled out), your goose is
ready for cooking on the cardiac table in about six months or
less.

| Listen
to your body intelligence which yoga teaches and allow your body
to do the healing. In my book of wonders, the human body comes on top,
followed by yoga, homoeopathy, garlic and Mumbai’s bus
drivers. I’m still looking for two more. |
