Why Do I Have High Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is necessary to keep the blood pumping to all body parts. If the pressure falls below the usual limits, some parts of your body are not getting enough blood flow and suffer from blood loss. If the blood pressure is greater, clots and permanent damage to vessels are possible. It can originate from:
- Genetic issues
- Too much salt intake
- Smoking habits
- Lifestyle factors
- Underlying medical conditions.
Sometimes, underlying kidney diseases, disorders, and other issues can lead to high blood pressure.
What Should My Blood Pressure Level Be?
It is necessary to monitor your blood pressure if you suffer from any pressure variations. The normal blood pressure in a healthy human is 120/80 mm of hg, while in older adults, blood pressure within 130/80 mm of hg is considered normal. However, 130/80 mm of hg is considered to be stage 1 hypertension in adults under 65. For adults aged above 65 years, blood pressure above 140/90 mm of hg is considered to be stage 2 hypertension, and it is advised to take the medication within these limits.
Stage 2 hypertension means that your blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or higher. Because your blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day, especially after exercise or after consuming caffeine, getting several blood pressure readings at various points throughout the day can help confirm a high blood pressure diagnosis.
Are There Symptoms of High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure is referred to as a ‘silent killer’ due to the dangers it poses without raising alarms of symptoms. Thus, not many noticeable symptoms are visible during the early onset. In later stages, severe discomfort can be experienced. If the pressure rises to 180/120 mm of hg, it is a medically emergent condition that requires immediate assistance.
- Nosebleed
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Shortness of breath
How is high blood pressure treated?
Blood pressure cannot be lowered or regulated by using medications alone. Proper changes in lifestyle, diet, and other factors are necessary to regulate, mediate, and reduce high blood pressure. Some of the key ideas to reduce blood pressure include:
- Healthy diet
- Reduced salt intake
- Weight management
- Stress management
- Beta Blocker
- Calcium Channel Blockers
- Vasodilators
High blood pressure can cause severe vascular issues in your heart, and therefore, it should not be avoided. It should be given due importance, and proper treatment is mandatory.
