Oh thanks so much for I was sometime diagnosed with Hypertension and kept wondering as to how it happened for I'm a nonsmoker, no alcohol-taker, not much of a salt-taker but do suffer from less sleep due to the noise level coming from the top/side neighbours but however contacted the Council (Hammersmith & Fulham) and hope it'll be urgently/severely eradicated for as you've rightly pinpointed, it's indeed hazardous to ones health! My sincere appreciation to the WHO for such splendid works and it means you have been receiving my messages (laugh)! May The Almighty God together with the rest of the Powers That Be continue to Guide, Direct and provide you with infinite wisdom in all of your endeavours (Amen/Ameen)!

According to the new guidelines from AHA hypertension is diagnosed with systolic blood pressure equal to or above 130 mm hg and diastolic blood pressure above 80 mm hg.
