Hypertension is synonymous with high blood pressure.
When the arteries of the heart through which blood flows to all parts of
the body, gets clogged, the heart finds it difficult to pump out the
blood, giving rise to high blood pressure. Blood pressure units are
measured on a daily basis to find ways to lower blood pressure. High
blood pressure means systolic blood pressure and diastolic pressure at
140/90 mm Hg and above. The worst thing about hypertension is that the
symtoms of high blood pressure are hard to be noticed. They are vague
and non-specific. For further details, read.
Blood pressure information is important as you can have a blood pressure chart
to consult in applying blood pressure medication. Blood pressure is
determined by the amount of blood pumped by the heart,
and the size and
condition of the arteries. Many other factors can affect blood pressure,
including volume of water in the body, salt content of the body,
condition of the kidneys, nervous system, blood vessels and levels of
various hormones in the body.
If you are suffering from severe
high blood pressure or a rapid rise in blood pressure, you may
experience headaches, blurred vision, fits or black-outs. You often
mistake it as a not so serious disease. But, the wise thing is to
measure blood pressure readings if you suffer from the above symptoms of
high blood pressure and consult a doctor as soon as possible.
