Section 1: Blood Pressure Explained
High blood pressure or hypertension, often referred to as the silent killer, is typically asymptomatic meaning no symptoms are shown. Some people with high blood pressure will experience symptoms, including chest pain, dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath, palpitations, and heart and nose bleeds. Most people however, will experience no symptoms as all until the damage has been done which is often after several years of living with high blood pressure.
The first step to preventing and managing high blood pressure is to understand high blood pressure, its causes, effects, and long-term consequences. All of this will be covered in this section. If you already have high blood pressure, it is important to control and continuously monitor your blood pressure. Because of this, we will discuss how to monitor your own blood pressure at home in subsection 4 . We will cover everything you need to know and take into account in order to create a successful blood pressure treatment plan all without any prescription medications!
Understanding High Blood Pressure and Blood Pressure Readings
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force of blood which pushes against the walls of the arteries. The arteries are the large blood vessels that carry blood from the heart muscle to all of the other organs and muscles inside the body. As the blood is transported around the body, it pushes against the inside of the artery walls. The force of this push is what we measure as blood pressure.
High blood pressure or hypertension is a medical condition in which the arteries are persistently subjected to an elevated blood pressure. This increased pressure is caused by a rise in the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. The increased pressure can be caused by the arteries becoming thicker or hardening due to the build-up of plaque. Thicker artery walls mean that there is less space for the blood to flow through the arteries. This thickening (or narrowing of the artery) results in abnormal blood flow whereby the blood pushes harder against the walls of the arteries. This raises the blood pressure.
The higher the pressure, the greater the stress the arteries are under, and the more difficult it is for the heart to pump and deliver blood to the body. When blood pressure is high, this places stress on the body, which in turn can cause damage to the heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes.
