New Online Self Help Service Dedicated for Sufferers and Families of Sufferers of High Blood Pressure
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) September 12, 2007 --
Living with High Blood Pressure .NET (http://www.livingwithhighbloodpressure.net ) has just launched the Internet's first online active self-help group for sufferers of high blood pressure and hypertension. Truly independent and not tied to any of the major pharmaceutical or governmental health sites, living with high blood pressure aims to take the views and opinions of the individual sufferers of high blood pressure and represent their interests to both healthcare organisations and pharmaceutical companies.
“Too often called the views and opinions of the individual sufferers of high blood pressure are ignored by both healthcare organizations and the pharmaceutical companies, yet we are the ones who not only have to live with the day to day problems caused by high blood pressure but also we are the ones who have to live with the side effects of medication that has either been insufficiently tested for side effects or incorrectly prescribed” said the groups founder and sufferer of High Blood Pressure, Stephen Morgan.
“I wouldn't want to sound alarmist nor give the impression that there isn't any suitable and efficient medications out there on the market as that would be wrong, there are. My main concern is probably a lack of communication it would appear between the pharmaceutical companies themselves or healthcare professionals and the actual sufferers of high blood pressure. Let's face it the incidences of high blood pressure are on the rise and whilst probably not at epidemic levels could certainly get one out of control if nothing is done about it”
“Living with high blood pressure aims to take the views and opinions of all of those who suffer with high blood pressure or their friends and relatives (as we tend to forget about these, these are the people who have to live with the side effects as well) and provide a channel of communication that represents accurate and clear information and feet back on this most deadly of conditions. It also aims to help sufferers of High Blood Pressure make the correct lifestyle choices that are essential for any sufferer to ensure they regain control of their own life and start to feel good about them.”
If you suffer from high blood pressure or know someone who does then get in touch, join the community and try to make a difference. The website can be found at http://www.livingwithhighbloodpressure.net
Notes to Editors:
Stephen Morgan, the founder of living with high blood pressure was diagnosed with “morbidly” high blood pressure i.e. a level of 216/160 some five years ago and has since through a carefully managed lifestyle programme of diet control, exercise and medication managed to reduce his blood pressure down to the more acceptable level of 112/70. It has not been easy, far from it, but when faced with a choice of “do something about it or die” there is only really one way to go! His one best piece of advice to all sufferers of High Blood Pressure is “get a dog and get out walking the dog regularly – it would be the first in series of positive moves to regain control of your life and get you feeling good about yourself again”
