Home Remedies For High Blood Pressure

Many people have high blood pressure but they
usually do not notice it. Over time, this can
lead to damage of blood vessels. High blood
pressure also called essential hypertension is
one of the most important risk factors for
cardiovascular disease, which may lead to
mortality.  In more than 95 of cases, etiology
of hypertension is unknown. Such a patient is
diagnosed as essential hypertension. Secondary
hypertension results as a consequence of a
specific disease or abnormality e.g. renal
disease, an endocrine disorder, drugs,
pregnancy. Blood pressure readings are always
listed as a pair 120/80 mmHg, for example. The
higher value which comes first is the systolic
blood pressure and the lower value is diastolic
blood pressure. BP is measured in units of
millimeters of mercury, written mmHg for
short. BP is shooted up if the systolic value is
over 140mmHg or diastolic value is over 90mmHg.
However, these levels were set for practical
understanding and are a general guide. Experts
totally dont agree to this fact. There is no
parameter that defines the value of lower blood
pressure.

hypertension is unknown. It is diagnosed when the

They are Isolated Systolic Hypertension Normal
blood pressure is usually considered in the range
of 120/80. In this category people will have
risen systolic value (above 120), whereas the
diastolic pressure remains in the normal range
(below 90). This is common in upper age group
above 65yrs. The most common cause of this type
of hypertension is the loss of arterial
elasticity. Malignant Hypertension  This is more
often seen in young adults and is a very rare
type of hypertension. This occurs only in 1 of
the hypertensive candidates. Malignant
hypertension occurs when blood pressure rises
suddenly and is requires immediate medical
care.  Resistant Hypertension  This type of
hypertension happens mostly due genetic
inheritance. About 20-30 hypertensive
individuals fall in this category. Even after
taking the prescribed medicines from physician
the BP remains high.
