Understanding High
Blood pressure:
How does your heart works?
To understand the high blood pressure you first need to understand a
little about how heart works.
Your heart is like a pump that pushes blood around your body through your
blood vessels. The blood provide your body with oxygen and nutrients it needs.
The pumping action is activated by electrical signals that are sent
through your heart’s electrical system to heart muscle. These signals tells the
heart when to contract (squeeze) and when to relax.
Pumping action actually pushes blood from the right side of your heart out
to the lungs where it collects oxygen. The blood then comes return to the left
side of the heart and pushed out to carried around the rest of your body. It
the blood goes through the vessels. Valves between the chamber of your heart
keep the blood flowing in the right direction.
NOTE:
YOUR BLOOD VESSEELS ARE THE TUBES THAT CARRY BLOOD TO AND FROM THE HEART
ARTIES:
CARRY OXYGEN-RICH BLOOD FROM YOUR HEART ALL OVER YOUR BODY
VEINS:
CARRY BLOOD WHICH HAS DELIVERED IT OXYGEN BACK TO THE HEART
What is blood pressure?
You can say that blood pressure is the
measure of force/pressure of blood in your arteries.
The pressure of blood flowing through
your arteries changes as your heart beats. The pressure of the blood is at
highest when your heart contracts, forcing to blood out to your heart and go
around to your body and the lower pressure is the opposite to it the pressure
is at lowest when your heart relaxes between heart beats, while it fills with
blood before pumping it again.
Measurement of blood
pressure
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury
(mmHg) and it is recorded as 2 numbers, for example: 120/80 mmHg. This is usually referred as 120 over 80
The top/first number is the systolic pressure. This the pressure of the blood in the arteries
when the heart contracts and pushes the blood out to the heart.
The second/bottom number is the diastolic pressure. This the pressure of the blood in the arteries
when the heart relax and refill with the blood.
What is high blood
pressure?
High blood pressure (or hypertension) is when your blood
pressure is consistently high in which it should be. The normal blood pressure
as I define is 120/80 and the high blood pressure as general is 140/90 mmHg
What cause high blood
pressure?
If we talk about the causes so there specific cause or
reason of high blood pressure, but there are some factors which we can assume
the causes of high blood pressure and often 70% of people get high blood
pressure due to these factors.
·
Your age (As your age increases the risk also
increases).
·
Other person in your family have high blood
pressure problem example: parents
·
Being overweight or obese
·
Nothing being active enough
·
Have a high salt intake
·
Drinking too much alcohol
How do you know if you have
high blood pressure?
The only way to know about the high
blood pressure is to measure it.
High blood pressure usually don’t have any symptoms, so
mostly people don’t know that they have high blood pressure or low until they
get their blood pressure checked.
Expert recommend that adults (more then 40) should have
their blood pressure checked at-least once every 5 year.
Note: If you have already been diagnose high blood
pressure, or you have another health problem like diabetes, Kidney problem,
heart problem or you have heart stroke, you will need to have your blood
pressure checked more often.
How is Blood pressure
measured?
Blood pressure is usually by blood pressure monitor. This
is the device uses “cuff” that is wrapped around your upper arm.
When taking a reading you will feel that cuff is getting
tight around your arm and then slowly begin to release.
The person taking your blood pressure should also check
your pulse at the same time. This is to ensure that the rhythm of your heart
beat is regular. Having an irregular heart be can make the reading of blood
pressure monitor can make less reliable information.
Thing
to keep in mind when you want to check the blood pressure.
·
Avoid alcohol, smoking
·
Take at-least 30 min exercise
·
Make sure you have emptied your bladder
·
Rest at-least for the 5 min after exercise
and relax to your body.
·
Remove any long-sleeved clothing or roll up
your sleeves
·
Don’t talk when measuring the blood pressure.
A single high blood pressure reading does not necessarily
mean that you have high blood pressure. Blood pressure changes though out the
day. Feeling anxious and stressed when you go to have your blood pressure
measured can also increase your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is high
in the clinic (higher than 140/90 mmHg), your doctor may ask you to monitor
your blood pressure at home over the period of time. This will conform that
your blood pressure is consistently high or whether it was just for once.
Monitoring blood pressure at home can be done by using either
ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) or home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM)
ABPM:
stands for ambulatory blood pressure involve wearing a device which takes your
blood pressure at regular intervals over 24 hour as your normal daily
activities. These measurement gives doctor a clear picture about how your blood
pressure get change though out the day. It also prevent the problem of white
coat syndrome where your blood pressure get increase in clinic because you are
anxious about having it measure.
HBPM:
stands for home blood pressure measuring is when you measure your blood
pressure using automated home blood pressure monitor. This help your doctor to
get accurate result of your blood pressure over time.
Guide
lines:
High blood pressure at 140/90 mmHg or above it is
considered the high blood pressure and at home 135/85 mmHg is considered to as
high blood pressure.
If your blood pressure is lower than 140/90 mmHg you may
still have risk of developing high blood pressure in the future. Adopting a healthy
life style can help you to reduce the risk of high blood pressure in the future
or in the adult age.
Why having a high blood pressure
can be a dangerous?

you series of problem in your life. Whenever you know that you have high blood
