What is high blood pressure ?1111
High blood pressure is called the silent killer disease , it may be high blood pressure when a person he does not feel so often .Blood pressure is measured by determining the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of blood flow in the arteries.
Blood pressure varies throughout the day in the body naturally. Has also varies imperceptibly with each heartbeat . Rises in blood pressure while doing any activity and decrease in the quiescent state of the body.
Whenever the heart to pump blood largest amount whenever narrowed arteries and higher blood pressure in the body.
* The level of blood pressure reading consists of two numbers :
- Figure includes the upper level of contraction :
Upper figure is the amount of pressure generated by the heart during pumping blood out of the heart through the arteries .
- The bottom number that includes the level of extroversion :
The bottom number is the amount of pressure (hypertension) in the arteries in the heart quiescent state (ie, during the silence of the heart between each pulse ) .
- Measuring and normal blood pressure ( 120/80 ) .
If the blood pressure in the sleep state body ( 140/90 ) or more , that person may be infected with high blood pressure .
There are many people do not see the seriousness of high blood pressure , where they do not feel any symptoms or symptoms may feel simple .
But you should know that blood pressure irregular can raise the risk of infection rate of stroke , heart Ohboth crises or kidney problems .
Fortunately, the blood pressure can be measured by a simple test - if there is a rise in blood pressure should consult a doctor and follow the situation and work to stay at a normal level .
* Symptoms:
- Often do not show any symptoms or signs warning of high pressure .
- There are people who believe that the headaches , nose bleeds or nausea are signs of the beginning of high blood pressure , in fact, these symptoms may occur when some of the people in the onset of the disease with pain in the back of the head , but it does not happen , headache, nausea or bleeding nose , but in the case of the arrival of the blood pressure to a high level - in this case, the patient's life is in danger.
* Reasons :
It is not always easy to identify the causes of high blood pressure in some people , and if it was caused by unknown , is called essential hypertension or elementary .
But if the cause is known been called secondary high that there is any reason for the occurrence of such Height :
- Some types of drugs , which include pills , drugs that are used in the treatment of colds , decongestants , pain reliever and some other drugs .
- Kidney disease .
- The adrenaline gland diseases .
- Thyroid disease .
- Defective blood vessels.
- Symptoms of pre-eclampsia (which occur in the last three months of pregnancy ) .
- The use of drugs such as cocaine and amphetamine .
Risk factors that can be avoided are:
- Obesity : The greater the body weight , the greater the need for more blood and oxygen supplied to the tissues of adequate nutrition .
- Lack of activity : the lack of daily activity for the body increases the chance of injury to high blood pressure because it increases the chances of increased body weight . Lack of activity also helps to increase the heartbeat because the muscles of the heart need to work harder in the constriction and extroversion and therefore increases the load on the arteries .
- Smoking: The chemical compositions of tobacco to destroy the wall of the arteries , and cause the formation of the blocks on the wall ( the blocks that contain fatty cholesterol ) . Nicotine also works on the constriction of blood vessels and thus forcing the heart to work harder .
- Sensitivity of sodium : There are people with a higher sensitivity of sodium , and it is therefore leads to fluid retention in the body and raise blood pressure .
- Low potassium : Potassium minerals that work to adjust the level of sodium in the cells . So raise the low rate of potassium ratio and the presence of sodium in the body and therefore high pressure .
- Increased drinking alcohol : the cause of high blood pressure as a result of alcohol is not definitively known . But drinking alcohol with the passage of time, causing serious damage to the heart muscles .
- Tensile nervous : nervous tension may lead to excess temporary rise in blood pressure , but this rise may increase with the passage of time . Also as a result of trying to relieve nervous tension by eating more food , the constant smoking or drinking alcohol helps to keep blood pressure high.
- Chronic diseases : such as high cholesterol , diabetes , an inability to breathe or heart failure increases the risk of hypertension .
- The doctor also follows:
- Asked questions about the patient 's family history, patients and the general health of the patient.
- Do the necessary tests .
- Work routine tests such as urine test, blood work or echocardiography to measure the electrical activity of the heart .
- Could be the work of some other tests to measure blood flow , such as magnetic resonance imaging , ultrasound , or sound waves .
These tests are important for the doctor to see if there was a secondary cause of high blood pressure , any factor that there is what is causing the rise.
* Complications:
Must control high blood pressure , if consistently high . Overload imposed on the wall of the arteries leading to the occurrence of damage to vital organs in various body with the passage of time .
The more periods of high pressure the greater the damage , with the passage of time these symptoms appear .
There are many studies have confirmed the presence of significant link between the lack of control of high blood pressure and the incidence of heart attacks , stroke , congestive heart failure and eye problems .
- Better ways to treat blood pressure is to change the system of life as we mentioned before . Even if you use certain types of drugs , Changing life helps to reduce the doses you eat.
- Eating healthy foods : eating healthy foods , and increase the size of the dishes useful , such as grain / fruit / vegetables and low -fat dairy .
There are many global studies confirmed that a good diet will help you lose weight and lower blood pressure .
If a person is squeamish of sodium , can reduce the amount of sodium in food. Even if a person follows a medication to reduce the sodium helps to make the treatment more effective .
- Healthy body weight : The process of weight loss is very important to reduce the level of blood pressure in the body. For some people lose weight is the key factor and effective to avoid the use of drug therapy for the treatment of hypertension .
- Exercise : Exercise helps to reduce the rate of pressure in some people . For example, walking for 30 minutes most days of the week reduces blood pressure and helps to lose weight .
- Quit smoking : Smoking helps to raise blood cholesterol , and fatty masses gathered on the walls of the arteries , and thus helps to constrict blood vessels . For more details , " high cholesterol "
- Reduce the intake of alcohol and caffeine : For a healthy individual , the alcohol and caffeine can raise blood pressure in the body.
Therefore, reducing alcohol and caffeine helps to reduce the rate of blood pressure can reduce the upper figure at least 5 degrees , and the bottom number 3 degrees .
Caffeine is a stimulant factors that may help to focus and fight fatigue but also raise blood pressure .
If you suffer from high blood pressure , you should reduce the amount of coffee and tea in the day. The maximum in the day , a cup of coffee and tea 3 or less.
Also should avoid drinking coffee before beginning any activity that helps high blood pressure naturally , such as exercise or any physical activity .
- Control stress : the impact of stress have a temporary effect in most cases , but the constant stress can cause high blood pressure and with the passage of time destroys the arteries , heart , brain , kidneys and eyes .
You can avoid stress by changing the system of routine life and try to comfort and calm . You can change your daily routine by changing the system of life, the establishment of some social relations , to avoid constant worry and try to solve your problems by thinking and calm .

HYPERTENSION , which is sometimes called the " silent disease " Bcesp absence of symptoms of its own, and in many cases to be diagnosed only after the disease to show the impact of the complications of infection . Note that 90% of people with high blood pressure did not know the cause of the afflicted . There are a lot of reasons that the injury was due to it these diseases , diabetes, high blood pressure , including heredity factor or stress and tension , race . Addition to other grounds that cross functional or specific disease .
The continuous increase of blood pressure and uncontrolled key factor in the development of diabetic complications of retinopathy , and a defect in kidney function , and coronary artery disease , and peripheral vascular disruption ( in the legs and arms ) . Proved by the results that have been obtained from the Testing has control of the blood pressure at a normal level in some patients .
In order to accurately diagnose and correct for high blood pressure should be the process of measuring blood pressure several times and on different days . Usually more than the increase of blood pressure complications caused by diabetes , may affect this rise to the small blood vessels (Microvascular) cause mild injury may affect the kidneys (Nephropathy) or retina (Retinopathy), or may affect the large blood vessels (Macrovascular) cause mild hardening of the arteries ( Atherosclerotic). Usually increases premature deaths .
