High blood pressure symptoms - High blood pressure treatment
Chocolate and blood pressure …… mmmm
How much chocolate should I eat if I want it to lower my blood pressure? And is it a special kind of chocolate that I need or is it just the normal sort I can buy anywhere.
I need to be careful because I have borderline diabetes but if I balance the other bits I’m sure I can add some into my daily diet.
I find some of this food and blood pressure stuff a bit confusing really.
On one level it would seem that a daily diet consisting of chocolate, tomatoes and red wine could see me live forever …. hey ….. might try that actually ![]()
Welcome to The Pressure Point.
My name is Doctor Gordon Cameron and I'm a doctor based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I specialize in blood pressure treatment for two reasons:
Firstly - I see many thousands of people with the condition each year and I understand the problems that high blood pressure and its treatment can cause.
Secondly, I suffer from raised BP myself and take treatment every day so I really do understand the problems from both sides of the equation. I've taken pretty much every medication on the market at one time or other, and have used or tried most of the natural remedies and cures.
Join me as we share blood pressure experiences and find a way to keep you healthy and well.

Chocolate with 40% cacao is said to lower bp. This type can be found at health food stores. It is primarily dark chocolate and still caloricly dense. Unfortunately high bp isn’t an excuse to eat a bag of hershey kisses. Moderation.
