Blood Pressure
Most people with high blood pressure have no symptoms at all. There are no specific warnings signs. The only way to find out if you have blood pressure problem is by regular monitoring your pressure.
What is Blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force exerted on the walls of blood vessels as blood flows through them. Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts, it sends a surge of blood through the blood vessels and the pressure increases. This is called systolic pressure. When your heart relaxes between beats, your blood pressure decreases. This is called your diastolic pressure. Normal blood pressure falls within a range. It is not one set of numbers. But if you are an adult it should be less then 140/90 mmHg. If you have diabetes, renal insufficiency or heart failure, your doctor will want it to be no higher than 130/85 mmHg. If your blood pressure goes above this and stays there, you have high blood pressure. About Blood PressureThe 6th report of the joint National Committee on Prevention Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNCVI) from National Institutes of Health developed the following classification. However, it is only a general guideline because blood pressure depends on our age, morbidity, and treatment strategy by a physician. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN TO DETERMINE YOUR NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.
