Show them the data showing how dangerous it is not to go to regular physician visits. Drag them into the doctors office, and if that is not successful, look into physicians that make house calls. good luck.

The best thing she can do is regular medical check-ups and mammograms, as well as monthly self exams.  What you can do is be supportive and nag her to have the above done if she doesn't do it.  It has been proven that the sooner a problem has been found, the better the chances of curing it.\nWish her luck for me!

I am 22 years old and I have level 2 hypertension (really high bp for my age), and I have found that there are many things that can help drop the pressure. Try eating less sodium (salt) in your foods. Excercise daily. Stay away from caffiene as much as possible or any other stimulant for that matter. RELAX, being angry also raises your blood pressure. Dont smoke. Do not take over the counter allergy medicine without consulting your doctor first. In most cases high blood pressure is un-curable but can be tamed. Usually it is hereditary so medicine is a must. If you do decide to go with the medicine, make sure that it is right for you. I was taking a certain med and it just made my heart race, so I guess you could say it made things worse. Hope that all this helped.

He needs to make sure he eats well, such as the Zone by Dr. Berry Sears, this plan balances insulin levels with food. He also needs to be getting a full 8 hours of restful sleep each night. And some good whole food nutrition would greatly help him. My father-in-law has very bad diabetes, but when I found this sleep system, meal plan, nutritionals, and some other items, his life has really changed. If you would like more info. just email me.

A syndrome hard to treat.  What's your family history?  Renal hypertension is also a problem to treat.   Walk a lot to bring it down.  Learn to breathe properly also.

The first line of treatment of HBP is a conservative treatment. Which means proper diet balance, exercising, lowering your weight, control of stress and lifestyle advisory and make some tests. After a period of time considered by your physician there is going to be a reevaluation. If your husband can maintain the BP in a normal or borderline range, than he would continue without medications but with periodical examination. \nIf the BP cannot be controlled by this measures, then it will be necessary to administrate a proper treatment which varies on the background conditions (presence or absence of high blood cholesterol, diabetes, kidneys disease, etc.)\nMost patients with high blood pressure can develop a normal life with a single medication, but having follow up periodically.

try sneaking the fruits and vegetables into food he likes...pizza, spaghetti, jello, even icecream, give him foods that have a lot of vitamins in them, such as cereal and whole grain breads, since you are so concerned about his diet.\nhe also needs professional help.  it sounds like he is already receiving this, but, if not, he needs to talk to a therapist, even if his problems are nutritional.  after four years, it has probably developed into a more serious problem, and simply feeding him fruit won't fix everything.  now, i'm not endorsing the use of drugs, especially in someone so young, but they may be helpful if other treatments, such as counseling, diet & exercise changes, and behavioral therapy don't seem to work.  has he been diagnosed by a professional, or do you just think that he has depression and anxiety? he may have a learning disability, OCD, and/or social development problems, as well as the depression/anxiety. before treatment begins, he needs a definite diagnosis.  also, if he was diagnosed years ago, his problems may have changed or he may have developed new issues (this is fairly common).  find a psychiatrist that he and his father feel comfortable with, and follow their suggestions.  talk with a nutritionist and the boy's doctor about his diet, maybe they could explain to him how important eating healthy is, and what will happen if he doesn't, then tell him (and you) how to change eating habits.  set a good example for him, and offer healthy snacks after school.  it sounds like he does have a psychological problem, as well as a nutritional one, and he needs treatment for both.  make sure the therapist (find one that specializes in children) knows of your concerns about his diet, this is important information, and may dictate the proper treatment.\noh, and the physical problems, such as stomach aches, may actually be caused by depression. i know it sounds odd, but it's true.  the prolonged stress and sadness can cause stomach problems, headaches, clumsiness, etc.\ngood luck to all of you!

Talk to a psychiatrist, not a GP.  You wouldn't take a diabetic to an oncologist, would you?\n\n-- edit --\n\nRevisiting this... StressPac is for anxiety disorders, not clinical depression.

He should be asking about the condition of his stomach lining to make sure he doesn't have any ulcers that could be hampering his ability to digest food properly. He should also stay away from soda and coffee (they are acidic and could make his problem worse.) And last but not least important he needs to ask to see a specialist (some doctors need to be pushed for a referral. if you are not getting what you need switch primary care). There could be other issues causing his problem it seams like his doctor is more focused on treating the symptoms, and not the cause.

I'm sure you've gotten plenty of help on this one but has any one suggested that he get a physical, maybe he is suffering from depression, or blood pressure problems, or sugar problems, I know with me if my sugar goes up I can be easily irritated and become angry in a flash, my blood pressure will also shoot up at that time, I'm not trying to defend him , only looking at it openly!
