What is High Blood Pressure?

Above average bloodpressure can be rise in force exerted by circulating blood on the artery walls as a general response to tension or physical work. Anyhow, if this pressure continues to be constantly high (high blood pressure as it is known), it can exhaust your arteries and heart. Heart attacks, arterial diseases and strokes are the results of this hypertension.

How to Evaluate Blood Pressure?

Medical practitioners record blood pressure in two values, the systolic (the pressure of the blood when it passes the artery from the heart) and the diastolic (the pressure when the heart ventricles repose betwixt beats). It is checked in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).

High Blood Pressure can be defined in a grown-up as a bloodpressure more than or equal to 140 mm Hg systolic pressure, or more than or equal to 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure. Reading of blood pressure greater than 140/90 is unnatural & determines hypertension.
