Hypertension<\/strong> is a disease<\/strong> caused by high<\/strong> blood pressure in the arteries. High blood pressure causes the heart to pump harder and when this happens, the arteries harden which eventually leads to atherosclerosis. To prevent this disease<\/strong> from getting worse, it is important<\/strong> to know the proper ways to reduce high<\/strong> blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Hypertension<\/strong> is also called the “silent assassin” because it can sneak on you without any signs or warnings. There are several<\/strong> factors that cause the disease<\/strong> and they are the following<\/strong> below:<\/p>\n

o Obesity due to over eating and lack of exercise<\/p>\n

o Too much sodium or salt intake<\/p>\n

o Habit of smoking and excessive alcohol drinking<\/p>\n

o Physical and mental stress<\/p>\n

o Heredity or genetics<\/p>\n

o Old age<\/p>\n

You can have your blood pressure checked by a nurse or a doctor using a device called sphygmomanometer. This device consists of a stethoscope, arm cuff, dial, pump, and valve. There are several<\/strong> different categories of high<\/strong> blood pressure and they are the following<\/strong> below:<\/p>\n

o Normal blood pressure – 120\/80 and below<\/p>\n

o Pre-Hypertension<\/strong> blood pressure – 120-139\/80-89<\/p>\n

o First stage hypertension – 140-159\/90-99<\/p>\n

o Second stage hypertension – : 160\/100 and above<\/p>\n

There are no known signs and symptoms of hypertension and in fact most people with hypertension are not aware that they have it until they visit a doctor. However, people with extremely high<\/strong> blood pressure may experience the following<\/strong> below:<\/p>\n

o Severe headaches<\/p>\n

o Fatigue due to physical stress<\/p>\n

o Blurry vision<\/p>\n

o Chest congestion<\/p>\n

o Breathing problems<\/p>\n

o Heartbeat irregularities<\/p>\n

o Blood in the urine<\/p>\n

Below are several<\/strong> ways to reduce high<\/strong> blood pressure:<\/p>\n

o Watch what you eat<\/p>\n

Eating foods that are high<\/strong> in sodium, cholesterol and saturated fat contribute greatly to having high<\/strong> blood pressure. To reduce high<\/strong> blood pressure, it is best to eat foods that are high<\/strong> in calcium and potassium. Eating fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products and wheat can help reduce high<\/strong> blood pressure.<\/p>\n

o Lose weight by exercising<\/p>\n

Studies show that most people that have hypertension are obese. If you are more than 30% above your normal weight, then you are considered an obese person. It is important<\/strong> to lose weight immediately by dieting and regularly exercising.<\/p>\n

o Drug therapy<\/p>\n

There are several<\/strong> types of drugs that help reduce high<\/strong> blood pressure like diuretics, beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers. However, you should take any medicine with caution. You can ask your physician for the proper medication for your condition.<\/p>\n
