High Blood Pressure
High Diastolic Pressure
High blood pressure is also known as hypertension in
medical terms. When pressure of the blood in the arteries goes up, it
causes hypertension. There are two major factors responsible for
Hypertension, one is when the heart pumps blood with excessive force and
second when the body's smaller blood vessels, also known as the
arterioles go narrow in the way that blood flow exerts more pressure
against the vessels' walls.
Now, blood pressure
readings are taken in two numeric values. When the value is higher, it
reflects the highest pressure (systolic pressure) in the arteries and
vice versa reflects the lowest pressure (diastolic pressure) in the
arteries. So, the reasons of high diastolic pressure, both the lower and
the second number is the force measurement as the heart relaxes to allow
the blood to flow into the heart. For more blood pressure information
and causes of high diastolic pressure, read Cause
Of High Diastolic Pressure.
High diastolic pressure causes
high blood pressure and heart rate that can lead to stroke and heart
attack in young people. Almost 85 % to 90 % of people have this problem.
High blood pressure where cause is known is called secondary
hypertension. Almost 10 % to 15 % of the people are affected with it.
You should seriously lower your blood pressure if your blood pressure levels
are high. Secondary hypertension causes can be controlled through blood
pressure herbal remedy and blood pressure medicine. Blood pressure
monitor and blood pressure machines available in the market can help you
in measuring blood pressure units regularly and thus controlling blood
pressure.
