Blood pressure checking shows two numeric
values- higher value reflects the highest pressure in the arteries and
the lower value reflects the lowest pressure in the arteries. In fact,
the systolic pressure is the higher value and the lower value is known
as diastolic pressure. A diastolic pressure at rest averages 90 mm Hg or
more. However, the higher the blood pressure, the greater are the risks-
even within the normal blood pressure range. The exception is older
people who commonly have high systolic pressure (140 mm Hg or more) with
normal or low diastolic pressure. For further details read What
Causes High Blood Pressure
Blood pressure
is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). So, what causes the high
diastolic pressure go high (the lower and second number) is the
measurement of force as the heart relaxes to allow the blood to flow
into the heart.
High diastolic pressure is a strong predictor of high
heart rate and blood pressure leading to heart attack and stroke in
young people. Almost 85 % to 90 % of people with high blood pressure
have primary hypertension. Changes in the heart and blood vessels
probably combine to increase blood pressure. High blood pressure with a
known cause is called secondary hypertension affecting 10 % to 15 % of
the people with high blood pressure.
If your blood pressure
levels are high, you should seriously lower your blood pressure
immediately. Secondary hypotension causes can be cured keeping these
other illnesses/ conditions under control to help keep your blood
pressure under control through blood pressure medicine and blood
pressure herbal remedy. Blood pressure monitor is essential in the face
of volatile heart rate and blood pressure. You should buy a blood
pressure monitor to keep track as well as to lower blood pressure.
