<\/p>\n

Blood Pressure is simply is the force exerted onto the walls of your arteries by your blood. When you check your pressure, the reading given by the machine comprises of two numbers, an upper reading and a lower reading.<\/p>\n

The upper reading tells you your systolic pressure, which is the magnitude of the force generated when you heart contracts.<\/p>\n

The lower reading is your diastolic pressure and this is the force generated in your blood vessels when your heart relaxes or when it is getting ready to pump again.<\/p>\n

A healthy B P reading for an adult should read 120 \/ 80, that is a systolic reading of 120 and a diastolic reading of 80. A reading of 140 \/ 90 or higher would be considered unhealthy, and a person in that category would be at risk. A person who has high B P would be at greater risk of acquiring kidney disease, heart problems, stroke, impaired vision, erectile dysfunction and many other conditions, too many to list.<\/p>\n

There are many things that can cause a person to develop this disease, such as smoking, alcohol abuse, stress, unhealthy diet containing too much salt, sedentary lifestyle, complications caused by other diseases, side effects of medications, and much more.<\/p>\n

How does High Blood Pressure cause Blindness?
The exessive pressure can cause the tiny and very delicate blood vessels in your eyes to burst or haemorrhage, causing your vision to become blurred or impaired and may even cause blindness.<\/p>\n

How does High Blood Pressure cause stroke?
The high pressure can cause one of the blood vessels in your brain to burst, leading to bleeding in the brain causing you to lose control over parts of your body as well as bodily functions.<\/p>\n

How does having a High B P cause a Heart Attack?
Your heart muscle needs oxygen to function, and blood vessels carry this oxygen to the heart muscles. High blood pressure damages these blood vessels which impair their ability to perform their function effectively, and if the flow of oxygen is blocked, you will experience a heart attack.<\/p>\n

What is Congestive Heart Failure?
Congestive heart failure is a very serious condition. This where your heart is unable to circulate sufficient blood to supply the needs of your body. Congestive heart failure is a very common problem associated with people who have high blood pressure. It’s never too late to begin to take control of your health and blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Anyone can develop this disease, even children. Although people do develop a higher blood pressure as they age it is never acceptable for any person to have a high blood pressure, even older people should not succumb to this dangerous disease. HBP is on the rise in all developed and also developing nations, due to the adoption of unhealthy habits and lifestyles.<\/p>\n

Being obese or even just overweight puts an individual in a high risk band for high blood pressure and all the complications that it causes. Losing even just a little weight will help in reducing your risk of high blood pressure and the dangers associated with it.<\/p>\n

Eating a healthier diet, starting with just a few small meals, and building up, as well as cutting salt intake and getting more fruit and veg will definitely help to protect yourself.There are many natural ways to reduce and perhaps even cure this disease.<\/p>\n

Keeping track of your BP readings by visiting a doctor or monitoring them from home with a portable device will help you track your progress as you attempt to reduce the risks associated with high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
