We are often ignorant of the threat of high blood pressure. In fact, hypertension is the gateway to a variety of deadly diseases, hypertension medication latest research, control of high blood pressure since carried from upstream.

Our heart beats about 100 thousand times a day. In every beat of it, the heart pumps blood around the blood vessels, including capillaries. Strength when pumping blood on the wall pressure in the blood vessels. Blood vessels also have resistance to blood flow. Secondly it creates blood pressure.

“Blood pressure is multiplied by cardiac arrest total peripheral blood vessels. That’s what makes the blood pressure. If the blood vessels widen, the pressure would be off. Conversely, if the vessels constrict, the pressure was rising,” said Prof. Budi Setianto, Sp.JP, hypertension expert from the Hospital Heart and blood vessels Harapan Kita, Jakarta.

There are two kinds of blood pressure, the systolic and diastolic. Systolic is the condition of the heart chambers that send blood to contract out. Diastolic is the time period when the heart is relaxed after contraction.

Medical guidelines state that the normal systolic blood pressure in adults is less than 120 mmHg, while diastolic blood pressure should not be more than 80 mmHg. If high blood pressure more than 140/90 mmHg, you are called to suffer high blood pressure or hypertension.

Without Symptoms

If too large, the pressure will damage the blood vessels and restrict blood flow to important organs in the body. It could not get an organ’s blood supply. When held in the heart organ, there was a heart attack. When going on in the brain, comes a stroke. Another possibility is to damage the eyes, kidneys, and other serious health problems.

High blood pressure is often not perceived by the owner. Behaviors that are prone to anger and headache, according to Prof. Mind, not the symptoms of hypertension. High blood pressure should be checked by means of tension, not just perceived.

“If your age is above 30 years, every doctor should check your blood pressure. The goal is to be wary of high blood pressure because there are no signs and symptoms are perceived,” he explained.

Because there are no signs and symptoms, hypertension is often referred to as the silent disease, a disease that comes alias quietly. You also must be vigilant because, according to estimates The Lancet, a prestigious medical journals worldwide, a quarter of world’s adult population suffer from high blood pressure. That is, one in four adults suffer from hypertension.

If you’ve already hypertension, blood pressure should be made to fall. Decrease in blood pressure 5-6 mmHg significantly reduces the risk of stroke by 40 percent and heart attacks 15 to 20 percent.

The ideal number for free from hypertension is 120/80 mmHg. “If the blood pressure in the range of 120/80 to 139/89, it means you’ve been pre-hypertension stage. In the range of 140/90 to 159/99 means you are in stage 1 hypertension. On top of these numbers, you’ve been on stage 2. pre hypertension phase requires only a lifestyle change. Phase one and two took antihypertensive medications and lifestyle changes, “said Prof. Blake.

Dear lifestyle blood pressure are losing weight, nutrition balanced diet, regular exercise, reducing salt consumption. Excessive amount of salt in the bloodstream causes the body to attract more water in the blood. This causes pressure on the blood vessel wall ride. As a result, the heart work harder.
