High Blood Pressure - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common disease that develops when blood flows through your arteries at higher-than-normal pressures. Your blood pressure is made up of two numbers: systolic and diastolic. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the ventricles pump blood out of the heart. Diastolic pressure is the pressure between heartbeats when the heart is filling with blood.

Your blood pressure changes throughout the day based on your activities. For most adults, a normal blood pressure is less than 120 over 80 millimeters of mercury, which is written as your systolic pressure reading over your diastolic pressure reading—120/80 mm Hg. Your blood pressure is considered high when you have consistent systolic readings of 130 mm Hg or higher or diastolic readings of 80 mm Hg or higher.

You usually don’t have symptoms from high blood pressure until it has caused serious health problems. About 1 in 3 U.S. adults with high blood pressure aren’t even aware they have it and are not being treated to control their blood pressure. In fact, that is why it is important to have your blood pressure checked at least once a year.

To control or lower high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend that you adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle. This includes choosing heart-healthy foods such as those in the DASH eating plan. You may also need to take medicines. Controlling or lowering blood pressure can help prevent or delay serious health problems such as chronic kidney disease, heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and possibly vascular dementia.

In my opinion, if you are prone to be angry with somethings and hate somebody, you are likely to have high blood pressure. If you are peaceful and easy-going person, you will have normal blood pressure.

Good-evening. My Father, developed high blood pressure over twenty years ago.
This, makes him become at times, very aggressive. His behaviour, is the single cause, why me and my Mother are no longer that close. ☹️
Both, my parents came to England when they were children. They would have been a lot happier back home in the Carribbean.

I'm 30 and I have 180/90 sometimes. No symptoms but it's scary. Doctor gave me pills. Will I need pills my whole life?

I'm under a lot of Stress right now. Mother Severely Disabled and Dying in a Nursing Home.
My Brothers on my back to sell up, and ship out. I had a large spot on my head, which just
would not go away even after 8 months. I went to hospital, and they did a biposy and took
a piece away, to make sure it wasn't cancer. But, I'm waiting to hear from them. I have been
told I have High Blood Pressure, and my Kidney's are not functioning right. I have type 2
Diabetes, and the readings are always in double figures. I am now feeling really weird, with
a kind of heavy feeling in my head, and I can't walk properly. Have I got Hypertension, or is
there something else that I should be concerned about, like a Brain Tumour?

I need help, what are the home remedies to lower high blood pressure?

[upjxmtj]

I'm so frustrated, and I'm really scared.
My sys. had always been more than 145 or so at the lowest in my life. The other times I can remember, it's been like 160 or more than 170. It's been over 180 before. One time in an ER it was 205.
I get these terrible pounding headaches. They last for days. They'll go away for a day or so, but then they come right back again. My hands shake. I'm dizzy sometimes when I'm walking, and I'll bump into things.
I just really scared. But I just can't get a doctor. They're just not available always. It's endless recordings, then it's months before an appointment. Then the doctor's on vacation or gone somewhere. I just don't know what to do. Sometimes it feels like my head is gonna explode. My ears ring, and it's really loud. I'm really scared.
I remember the old days; it just wasn't like this. Please somebody tell me what I can do.
