Blood pressure? How to reduce it to normal values?

  • 2 months ago
High blood pressure is not always considered bad. After jogging or when nervous, blood pressure may increase.
Blood pressure can vary from one part of the day to another, from condition to condition, and from one part of the body to another.
It is generally accepted that normal blood pressure values are 120/80. When a person's blood pressure is more than 120/80, it is high, when it is less than 120/80, it is low.
Myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke are its most serious complications.
Systolic pressure is measured at the moment the heart beats, and diastolic pressure at the moment the heart fills with blood.
Throughout life, blood pressure increases, from 90/60 (newborn) to 120/80 (healthy adult). 140/90 is a hypertensive patient, and at 200/120 urgent treatment is required.
Signs of severe high blood pressure include: headache, chest pain, nosebleeds, numbness and tingling.
With secondary hypertension, the following symptoms are observed: increased sweating, weakness, muscle spasms, rapid heartbeat, and frequent urination.
Hypertension can harm the heart, brain, blood vessels, kidneys, and eyes.
Many hypertensive patients do not even suspect that they have hypertension.
Often (in 95% of cases) the cause of hypertension remains unknown.
Malignant hypertension damages some organs.
The causes of secondary hypertension are: adrenal tumors, certain medications, kidney disease, pregnancy.
Salt is an important element in the development of hypertension.
