SECTION ONE- Knowing Hypertension.

Whatis hypertension?

Blood pressure, also known as mean arterialpressure, is one of the vital signs of human body. Each part of thehuman body requires a continuous supply of nutrients and oxygen.These components are supplied by the circulating blood. Heart isthe basic organ responsible for the pumping of blood. When heartpumps blood into the blood vessels, the circulating blood exertssome pressure on the walls of vessels. This force exerted is knownas blood pressure. In other words, blood pressure is the pressureexerted by circulation blood on the walls of blood vessels. Duringeach heart beat, the blood pressure changes from maximum value(systolic pressure) to the minimum value (diastolic pressure). Thisdifference in the pressure is responsible for the flow of bloodthrough the tissues of human body.

You cant just feel your blood pressure likeother vital signs i.e. respiratory rate, temperature etc. Youve tomeasure your blood pressure with the help of manual

or electronic sphygmomanometer. Thisinstrument measures the blood pressure in millimeter of mercurymmHg. The normal of blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. Where, 120 mmHgis the systolic or higher blood pressure and 80mmHg is thediastolic or lower blood pressure.

Now, a question comes to mind: what ishypertension or high blood pressure? Hypertension doesnt presentswith some obvious symptoms unlike the fluctuations in other vitalsigns of body. For example an increase in the temperature in thebody presents itself in the form of obvious symptoms like fever andlethargy. Then what is the way to know if you have hypertension ornot? The only way to know this is to measure your blood pressure onregular basis. A simple table can help you access your bloodpressure status:

80/120 mmHg --- Normal blood pressure.

80-90/120-135 mmHg --- Pre-hypertension.

>90/140 mmHg ---- Hypertension.

90-100/140-160 mmHg --- Stage 1 hypertension.

>100/160 mmHg ----- Stage 2 hypertension.

Hypertension is either of primary/ essentialtype or of secondary type. Primary hypertension accounts for morethan 90% of all the hypertension and is due to idiopathic, unknown,causes. Secondary hypertension, accounting for about 10% ofhypertension, is due to the improper function of kidney, heart,arteries and endocrine system.
