10 Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
Introduction:
When Pressure increases in Arteries is called High Blood Pressure. Mostly People ignore the signs of High Blood Pressure and don’t take the medicine for the long term basis to stable the HP either than use short term therapy. We must know the range of normal blood pressure starts from 120/80,where 120/140 is the Hypertensive stage and 60/80 is low Blood Pressure. The continuous medication is important to control the High Blood Pressure if it does not kept control it could affect our major organs such as Heart, Kidney ,Brain and eyes.

The Blood return procures starts from entering in veins leads to our major organ heart which causes gravity and muscle contraction.
What is meaning of Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure.
The measurement of Blood pressure has to be take in to ways one is Systolic pressure and second is Diastolic pressure taken at the upper arm over the brachial artery.
Systolic Blood Pressure or Top BP
When the heart contract (pumps) ,the pressure is being generated against the arterial walls.
Diastolic Blood Pressure or Bottom BP.
When the heart is filling and resting blood then the pressures is being generated on the arterial walls.
How to understand the High Blood Pressure
The American Heart Association (AHA), and the American College of Cardiology studies told us that the normal and high blood pressure ( all values in mm Hg).
Normal Blood Pressure : Systolic less than 120 mmHg and Diastolic less than 80 mmHg.
High Blood Pressure : Systolic less than 120 -129 mm Hg and Diastolic less than 80 mmHg.
Stage 1 -High blood Pressure / Hypertension: Systolic 130 -139 mmHg and Diastolic 80-89 mmHg.
Stage 2 -High blood Pressure / Hypertension : Systolic greater than 139 mmHg and Diastolic greater than 89 mmHg.
According to the studies the higher the pressure ,higher the risk increasing the risk of dying due to heart attack certainly by the systolic hypertension. The patient must maintain the long control of hypertension to reduce the risk of compilations such as stroke or heart attack.
