I have high blood pressure, 145/80 currently taking medication to lower it. I am a member at the gym that offers both hot tub and dry sauna. I was wondering, if I use dry sauna, if it will raise my BP even more and it's not good for my health. Same thing for the hot tub. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
Answer
Hot tubs and saunas have been shown to be beneficial to people with high blood pressure.
A study in Germany a few years ago tested 40 people with high blood pressure. They visited the sauna at least twice a week and took two 8-10 minute rounds in the sauna each visit, cooling down between rounds. They found that 60% of the people had their symptoms improve, and half of those people saw enough improvement to not need medication.
For this study, they used a much lower temperature sauna than you would find in a health club. High temperature saunas and tubs can stress your heart and cause other problems.
Make sure you talk to your doctor before using a sauna or hot tub: There are lots of different medications you could be on. Heat can be very hazardous to you if you're on certain types.

Installing a Hot Tub?
Answer Gir
I want to install a hot tub in my backyard. It will be in a private location in my backyard.
How much does a 4-6 person hot tub cost? What does it costs to run and maintain one yearly?
How long, if taken good care of, will my hot tub last (years)?
Does having a hot tub add to your re-sale value?
Answer
A hot tub can cost from 3,000 to up to 6,000, to maintain a month is around 20-35.00 more on your electric bill depending on the weather. Hotter will cost much less a month. And buy a cover for it it helps save.
chemicals can run about 5-15.00 a month but can be less if care is used and depends on what other sanitizers you have installed that do not use chemicals ( like ozone, ext...)
A good hot tub should last several years! the only thing that will have trouble would be the pump and heating system if one is installed.
It can last for even longer if the motor goes out just replace it.
so about 300.00 a year minimum.
An electrician will cost you to run wire to it if you get a 220 type ( i recommend a 220) they vary in cost to install a 220 line.
Yes it will add to the resale value of a home, and make it more easy to sell also people love them.
