What is Pulse Pressure?

Another great video Dr. Hello from Albuquerque New Mexico

Lower insulin end insulin resistance

❤❤❤ thank you so very much for this.

Doctor im 25 male im active and have pressure 120/47

Excellent video & very informative! I never knew anything about Pulse pressure & now I do ! Thank you !!

Vitamin K2 mk7 gets calcium out of your blood into your bones, but may not reduce calcification/ hardening of blood vessels? So I have been told...

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Love your heart❤️

I have ME and have developed Orthostatic Intolerance; I spoke to my doctor about my low pulse pressure when my BP drops: at best it's 30 sitting but standing it's 20 and can go as low as 13 - 3 doctors had no idea what I was talking about. You've also put my mind at rest because I've been really concerned about the low pulse pressure and couldn't find anything online about it.

Dr how can one increase the elasticity of the arteries? I have heard walnuts and sizzling minerals.

ThankYou 😊

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in the videos, especially in everyday language that I would understand! My GP never mentions the diastolic, always the systolic. My diastolic blood pressure usually goes up when my systolic goes up, so I'm now aware to consider the pressure pulse as well. Thank you for helping so many of us.

I have pots and have narrow pulse pressure like 98/85 makes me feel horrible

Thank you for your wonderful work in helping us all. Would it be correct to assume that people with high muscle mass have wider pulse pressure? Pushing blood through a tube surrounded by muscle must surely be more difficult than through soft tissue. And, if the assumption is correct, is it a bad idea to do lots of resistance type training? Should we skew our health protocol more towards stretching and aerobic type exercises? In my case, I am 63 but have high muscle mass due a life of exercising. Heart and arteries are all in excellent condition, but pulse pressure averages around 60-70. Your comments on this would be highly valued. Thank you again.

Would love to also see video on chronic narrow pulse pressure. Great info!

Is it normal to have high blood pressure and a low heart rate? what does it mean?
I was at 135 80 with a pulse of 49.

Dr. can you talk more about Low pulse pressure. mine is around 25% at rest and I am getting panic attacks reading about it online.😥

Very helpful thank you Dr

Excellent information! Thank you so much, Dr. Gupta! Why is it that I haven't found a doctor yet who understands this? I'm always telling them my worries about the vast difference b/t my DP and SP, but they always brush it off as non-worrisome. My typical BP runs around 90/55 but has also occasionally been 112/50. Point is, my diastolic never keeps up with my systolic. Also, they never seem to take low blood pressure seriously.
I've been looking for this kind of info for years, and I can't thank you enough for putting it out there for free on YT. God bless you.

Im worried. Im 66 and have had high blood pressure for 30 years. Within the last 3 years my blood pressure is consistently 155/50 with the diastolic falling the most. My doctor doesn't appear to be worried, however I am. My hospital is a large teaching hospital. Im currently losing weight, getting my diabetes in tighter control and trying to improve my exercises. Im praying this is reversible.

I find your videos to be easy to understand and your presentation of the information in a manner that is not lecturing but as a friendly conversation.
I like your approach of preventing it, instead of waiting and treating it.

Interesting thank you

I like the analogy with the balloon. However, why the connexion between HBP and an eventual powerful heart is not made?
All other things being equal, like stretchability and capacity of blood vessels, the contraction of a powerful heart will result in a higher blood pressure than for a relatively weak heart.

Thank you so much Doctor

Another absolutely fantastic video. Please keep this up, you're the very best at explaining these things in a way everyone can understand.

Please do video on how narrow pulse pressure is treated.

Thanks Dr.Sanjay for wonderful explanation I feel you should be the head of WHO to make new bench marks rather so much of misleading I formation by some inexperienced people around the globe.Keep it up.

Just to clarify…Are you saying that a pulse pressure of 30(115/85) is generally considered to be OK?

Can taking your pulse with your finger give you any clue about pulse pressure? Sometimes when I take my pulse with my finger on the wrist the pulse seems weak and other times it feels like it's throbbing harder.. I notice the same thing when I put my finger on the neck pulse, sometimes its not throbbing so hard and other times it feels like there is a little hammer in there pounding away..

Very useful it clarified a lot. I've responded well to treatment but it's a real struggle to get that diastolic to keep falling through lifestyle changes (I'm at 120/90) and i suppose its likely my arterioles are stiff by my arteries are not as I am in my early 40s.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with very high blood pressure and left bundle branch block which I had no idea I had. The GP has recently upped the dosage of my medication for BP so finding out about pulse pressure is extremely informative. I’ve also recently been researching about foods and lifestyle to lower my BP naturally and I came across the importance of nitric oxides by eating leafy greens, beetroot etc and having a more plant-based diet because as we age, we produce less. We’re also told not to eat much bacon because of the added nitrates so that’s a little confusing as some foods contain naturally high levels of nitrates, but some artificial nitrates are used in the food industry to preserve foods. This is leading me to think we should avoid the processed foods that have artificially added nitrates and consume natural sources.🤔

Thank You, for such a good talk on pulse pressure. You do an excellent simple explanation where the lay person can understand!!

Dr. Gupta, your podcasts are very simple and easy to follow. They are very informative and educative as well. Your way of narration is very listener-friendly.

Has anyone found supplements that help with lowering pulse pressure, i commonly have a pulse pressure above 50-60

Realy enjoyed this,

❤your explanation.
Thank you.

No doctor, including my Cardiologist, ever took the time to explain BP to me like this and I've been on BP medication over 20 years. Thank you for taking your time to share your experience and knowledge in a comprehensive and professional way.

Thank you 🙏💜

speak up or move closer to the ,microphone. Too low volume

At 77, after my angioplasty, I was prescribed blood thinner Plavix daily.
What effect(s) has this medicine to my supposedly thin blood at my age?
I must add here that I continue to usually have a 100/80 BP. Salamat po!

Thank you very helpful information. Its nice to know we can help ourselves with diet and exercise.

Thank you so much doctor Sanjay.
You're wonderful doctor. God bless

Lovely doc God bless

The simple answer is: Pulse Pressure is the difference between Systolic and Diastolic blood pressures.

Yahusha bless you !!!😊

BEST DOCTOR IN THE WORLD!

Mines ‘low’ ‘narrow’ my blood pressure is dead in the middle of the healthy ranges. Im 32 and female and my BP is around 104/70… is this concerning? I have health anxiety and now seeing this I’m worried sick for me health!

My systolic is 100 and diastolic is 80.and my pulse pressure 20 can i have heart failure

I remember as a student MHN , on placement on a general medicine ward at our local hospital . I was taking the blood pressure ect and the ward Sister said to me , “ when you take Mr X bp and it’s below 50 “, to tell her which I did as it was 90/50 .

I go off for my break , return say 35 mins later and the crash team was working on him. He later died . Now I understand the correlation between pulse rate and disease or death.

So thank you.
