Blood pressure is recorded with two numbers. The
systolic pressure (higher number) is the force at which your heart pumps blood
around your body.
The diastolic pressure (lower number) is the
resistance to the blood flow in the blood vessels. They're both measured in
millimetres of mercury (mmHg).
As a general guide:
high blood pressure is considered to be
140/90mmHg or higher
ideal
blood pressure is considered to be between
90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg
low
blood pressure is considered to be 90/60mmHg or
lower
High
blood pressure reading between 120/80mmHg and
140/90mmHg could mean you're at risk of developing high blood pressure if you
don't take steps to keep your blood pressure under control.
Risks of high blood pressure
If your blood pressure is too high,
it puts extra strain on your blood vessels, heart and other organs, such as the
brain, kidneys and eyes.
Persistent high blood pressure can
increase your risk of a number of serious and potentially life-threatening
conditions, such as:
- heart disease
- heart attacks
- strokes
- heart failure
- peripheral arterial disease
- aortic aneurysms
- kidney disease
- vascular dementia
Causes of high blood pressure
It's not always clear what causes high blood
pressure, but certain things can increase your risk.
You're at an increased risk of high blood
pressure if you:
-are over the age of 65
-are overweight or obese
-have a relative with high blood pressure
-eat too much salt and don't eat enough fruit
and vegetables
-don't do enough exercise
-drink too much alcohol
-smoke
-don't get much sleep or have disturbed sleep
-Too much drink caffeine
-Too much drink caffeine
Making healthy lifestyle changes can help reduce
your chances of getting high blood pressure and help lower your blood pressure
if it's already high.
Other inconclusively related symptoms
A variety of symptoms may be
indirectly related to, but are not always caused by, high blood pressure, such
as:
Blood spots in the eyes
Blood spots in the eyes
(subconjunctival hemorrhage) are more common in people with diabetes or high
blood pressure, but neither condition causes the blood spots. Floaters in the
eyes are also not related to high blood pressure. However, an eye doctor
(ophthalmologist) may be able to detect damage to the optic nerve caused by
untreated high blood pressure.
Facial flushing
Facial flushing occurs when blood
vessels in the face dilate. It can occur unpredictably or in response to
certain triggers such as sun exposure, cold weather, spicy foods, wind, hot
drinks and skin-care products. Facial flushing can also occur with emotional
stress, exposure to heat or hot water, alcohol consumption and exercise — all
of which can raise blood pressure temporarily. While facial flushing may occur
while your blood pressure is higher than usual, high blood pressure is not the
cause of facial flushing.
Dizziness
While dizziness can be a side effect
of some blood pressure medications, it is not caused by high blood pressure.
However, dizziness should not be ignored, especially if the onset is sudden.
Sudden dizziness, loss of balance or coordination and trouble walking are all
warning signs of a stroke. High blood pressure is a leading risk factor
for stroke.
Consequences of High Blood
Pressure
High blood
pressure can be fatal if not controlled.

to:
1- STROKE - High blood pressure causes
the arteries to easily broken or clogged.
2- LOSE SIGHT - High blood pressure can

3- HEART FAILURE - High blood pressure causes the heart to enlarge and failed to circulate blood throughout the body.
4- HEART ATTACK - High blood pressure can
lead to clogged arteries.
5- KIDNEY
FAILURE - High blood pressure can cause the arteries around the
kidneys become narrow, weak and harden for kidney compensation to filter blood.
6- ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION - High blood
pressure can lead to erectile dysfunction because blood flow throughout the body
is less.
