High B.P and Low B.P will become threats of life. Follow short and simple tips to prevent and cure them.

         Nowadays blood pressure problems became common health diseases. The bloop pressure either high or low leads to death if they are untreated. Read more to know about the High B.P, Low B.P, signs, symptoms, treatment and preventive measures.
             

About Blood Pressure:

The normal Blood Pressure of a healthy person is more than 120/80 to less than 140/90. If Blood pressure is increased then it is called high blood pressure. If the blood pressure is decreased then it is called lower blood pressure.

          The high B.P and Low B.P both are dangerous and give way to death if they are untreated.

About High Blood Pressure:

If the blood pressure is above 140/90  then it is called high blood pressure(B.P). In the high blood pressure, the force of blood act against the walls of arteries as the arteries become narrower.

         So the blood vessels will become weak and heart can't pump sufficient blood to all organs. Then the Oxygen level gets decreased and the carbon dioxide level gets increased in the blood.

          If untreated immediately then it gives way to the other health causes like heart failure, vision loss, stroke, and kidney diseases.
The high B.p is called as Hypertension.

Types of High B.P:

The high B.P is classified into two types based on the severity of the cause.
They are:

• Primary High B.p/ Essential high B.p
• Secondary High B.p

Primary high B.P/ Hypertension:

It is also called as the essential high B.P/ Hypertension. The cause is unknown and immediate health issues will not take place. It further lays into secondary Hypertension.

Causes:

• Obesity
• Smoking
• Drinking alcohol
• Mental stress

Secondary high B.P/ Hypertension:

It often occurs immediately and rapidly. It became less severe than the primary high B.P/ Hypertension.

Causes:

• Stress
• Smoking
• Genetics
• Poor diet

Stages of Hypertension:

If the blood pressure is between 130/80 to 139/89 then is called stage 1 Hypertension.

If the blood pressure is above 140/90 then it is called As Stage 2 Hypertension

If the blood pressure is 180/120 then it is called as severe Hypertension.

Causes of High B.P:

• Smoking
• Alcohol abuse
• Illegal drugs
• Endocrine tumours
• Foods of fat
• High cholesterol levels
• Diabetes
• Lifestyle
• Sometimes Pregnancy

Symptoms of Hypertension:

• Kidney malfunction
• Unhealthy lifestyle
• Obesity
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Congenital heart defects
• Headaches
• Shallow breathing
• Dizziness
• Chest pain
• Blood in urine

Other risks of Hypertension:

• Heart failure
• Arrhythmia
• Sudden Cardiac Death
• Heart Attack
• Transient Ischemic attacks
• Brain stroke

Diagnosis of Hypertension:

• Urine test
• Cholesterol screening
• ECG
• Ultrasound note of heart and kidneys

Treatment of Hypertension:

Medications are taken like
Beta-blockers
Diuretics

Doing exercise regularly is a self-treatment to reduce the high blood pressure

The self-treatment is must along with the doctors prescription.

About Low Blood Pressure:

 If the blood pressure is below 120/80 then it is called as Low Blood Pressure. It is also called as the Hypotension. If it is untreated and not cared then it becomes life-threatening.

         The hypotension us mainly due to the dehydration and surgical disorders. It causes dizziness and fainting. It deprives body and damage heart, brain.

Causes of Hypotension:

• Bradycardia
• Heart valve problems
• Heart attack
• Hypoglycemia
• Diabetes
• Blood loss
• Arrhythmia
• Malnutrition
• Severe infections and allergic reactions.

Symptoms of Hypotension:

• Dizziness
• Fainting
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Blurred vision
• Fatigue
•  Pale skin in extreme hypotension
• Rapid and shallow breathing
• Rapid pulse

Diagnosis of Hypotension:

• By sphygmomanometer
• Urine test
• Blood test
• ECG

Treatment for Hypotension:

Taking diuretics like furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide

Taking alpha blockers line prazosin, beta blockers like Atenolol and propranolol

Antidepressants like doxepin and Imipramine can reduce the Hypotension

Preventive measures of Hypo and Hypertensions:

• Maintain your weight by following the weight loss measures.
• Eat fruits and veggies which control the blood pressure
• Take lean proteins like fish
• Do exercise regularly
• Manage your stress by meditation and yoga-like pranayama
• Eat less meat and more veggies

              Friends, both high B.P and Low B.P are dangerous and life-threatening. If they are untreated, then they give way to death. So maintain your B.P and weight. Stay away from tensions then hypo and hypertension stays away from you.
