Hypertension Actually the High Blood Pressure is the Hypertention



the High Blood Pressure is the Hypertention
Now it is very precious for us that know about the high blood pressure and what is the high blood pressure? actually the high blood pressure is a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher. Both numbers are important. Nearly 1 in 3 American adults has high blood pressre. Once high blood pressure develops, it usually a lifetime.
       The good news is that it can be treated and controlled.High blood pressure is called the silent killer becasue it usually has no syptoms. Some people may not find out they it until they have trouble with their heart, brain, or kidneys. When high blood pressure is not found and treated, it can cause: the heart to get large, which may lead to heart failure, small bulges(aneurysms(AN-u-risms)to form in blood vessels.common location are the main artery from the heart (aorta), arteries in the brain, legs
 and intestines, and they artery leading to the spleen,blood vessels in the kidney to narrow, which may cause kidney failure. Arteries throughout the body to "harden" faster, especially those in the heart, brain, kidneys and legs. this can cause a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, or amputation of part of the leg. Blood vessels in the eyes to burst or bleed, which may cause vision changes and can result in blindness.
What is blood pressure?blood is carried from the heart to all parts of your body in vessels called arteries. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Each time the heart beats (about 60--70 times a minute at rest), it pumps out blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is at its highest when the heart beats, pumping the blood . This is called systolic pressure. When the heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls . This is the dia
systolic pressure. Blood pressure is always gien as these two numbers, the systolic and diastolic pressures. Both are important. usually they are written on above or before the other, such as 120/80 mmHg (measured in millimeters of mercury, a unit for measuring pressure). When the two measurements are written down, the systolic pressure is the first or top number, and the diastolic pressure is the second or bottom number (for example , 120/80). If your blood pressure is 120/80, you say that is "120 over 80".
Blood pressure changes during the day. It is lowest as you sleep and rises when you get up. It also can rise when you are excited, nervous or active. Still, for most of your waking hour, your blood pressure stays pretty much the same when you are sitting or standing still. That level should be lower than 120/80 mmHg. When the level stays high, 140/90 mm Hg or higher, you have high blood pressure . With high blood pressure, the heart work harder, your arteries take a beating, and your chances of stroke, heart and kidney problems are greater. In this discussion we learnt about the high blood pressure and its measurement and the other names of this condition is the Hypertension.
