Hypertension

Condition Description

Condition under which blood pressure is over 140/90

Common Symptoms

  • Typically there are no obvious symptoms—the condition is identified through a routine examination
  • May be associated with obesity, diabetes, or coronary artery disease

Underlying Causes

  • Alcohol intake, lack of exercise, obesity, diabetes, sleep apnea, or family history of hypertension or heart disease
  • Endocrine factors like Insulin Resistance or Metabolic Syndrome or Hypothyroidism
  • Heavy metals exposure such as lead, cadmium or mercury
  • Mineral deficiencies like Magnesium, Calcium or Potassium
  • Hidden food allergies that may increase fluid retention thereby raising blood pressure

Traditional Approach

  • Diuretics like Hydrochlorothiazide, Chlorothiazide, or Indapamide
  • Ace inhibitors like Benazepril, Captopril, Lisinopril, Moexipril, or Quinapril
  • Angiotensin-II blockers like Candisartan, Losartan, Olmesartan, Temisartan, or Valsartan
  • Beta blockers like Ccebutolol, Carvedilol, Labetalol, Propanlol, or Bisoprolol
  • Calcium Channel Blockers like Amlodipine, Felodipine, or Nifedipine

EHAC Approach

  • Improve diet by eliminating junk/processed foods, additives, preservatives, and alcohol intake and any hidden food allergies
  • Test for and, if necessary, treat insulin resistance by reducing carbohydrates and optimizing weight
  • Identify and treat Hypothyroidism
  • Identify and treat heavy metal overload through chelation
  • Identify and treat mineral deficiencies such as Magnesium, Calcium, or Potassium

Story:
When I first came to Dr. Sultan, I was exhausted. My bones ached, my muscles had no strength and I was suffering from muscle cramps throughout my body. I had been to doctor after doctor, had most of my parathyroid and half of my thyroid removed, been placed on high blood pressure medication and been told there was nothing wrong with me. Dr. Sultan provided an assessment of just what was happening with my body and proposed a course of treatment. After only one magnesium injection, I felt an extreme relief of the cramping and muscle fatigue. Dr. Sultan also placed me on a natural thyroid (medication) to replace the synthetic thyroid prescribed by another doctor that was not working. The thyroid change has made the most significant difference in my outlook and ability to function. With continued care and using a prioritized list of my issues, Dr. Sultan is slowly addressing my health concerns. Next on my list are the high blood pressure and my weight control. Thank you, Dr. Sultan, for improving my quality of life to the point where I look forward to each day with hope!
