Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
What you can learn from
the deep sea diver about
high blood pressure . . .
Though deep sea diving is hazardous,
divers can work for years without serious
mishaps. They do so by avoiding
troublesome situations . . . and by taking
other safety precautions. For instance,
they never work too long at great
depths under great pressure.
Anyone with high blood pressure (hypertension)
of the moderate, uncomplicated
type . . . should face his situation
in much the same way as the deep sea
diver does his work.
This is because successful control of
this disorder may depend upon knowing
what and what not to do. [n fact. by
avoiding situations and conditions that
adversely affect blood pressure, it is
often possible to bring an elevated
blood pressure down . . . or keep it from
rising to excessively high levels.
What is high blood pressure
and what does it do?
When hypertension occurs, the very
small terminal portions of the arteries
contract. Pressure within these narrowed
blood channels rises . . . and the
heart works harder to force needed
amounts of blood through them.
If the blood vessels are strong enough
to withstand the extra pressure, harmful
effects may not be noticed for many
years. The continuous strain, however,
may eventually overwork the heart and
weaken the blood vessels.
If hypertension develops,
then what?
If the disorder is mild and not caused
by some underlying disease, the patient
can do a great deal to help himself just
by taking it easy . . . emotionally and
physically.
Since tension, anxiety and worry are
believed to be related to this disorder,
it is important to live calmly and to be
moderate in eating, working and everything
else. One good rule is this: do
everything your doctor permits, but no
more. Following this rule atone often
helps patients live long, comfortably
and usefully with hypertension.
If more rest and recreation, and
avoiding tension and strain, fail to control
this disorder . . . then the doctor
may try diet, drugs or surgery.
What about guarding
against hypertension ?
When hypertension is discovered
early, it is usually easier to control.
So, everyone should have periodic
health examinations . . . especially those
who are middle-aged and older, are
overweight or have a family history of
the disorder.
One important safeguard is weight
control. For high blood pressure occurs
more than twice as often among overweight
people as among thinner people.
