Want to know about Blood Pressure// Definition, Causes, Effect and Cure of blood pressure// hypertension and hypotension.

Definition

Blood pressure is the pressure that blood exerts or pushing against the walls of arteries from heart. Each time your heart beats, it pumps blood into arteries and flow throughout the body.

 

Types of blood pressure

Systolic and diastolic are two types of blood pressure that human heart experience. Systolic blood pressure is that when heart release collected blood in to arteries by pumping. Generally we call it heart beat. The blood pressure is maintained while blood is filling into heart by vein is known as diastolic blood pressure. Blood flow pressure on arteries point of view there are two types of blood pressure that is high blood pressure and low blood pressure.

 

Importance of blood pressure

Blood pressure is one the important functions of human body because it delivers oxygen and food nutrients to cells and tissues. It is only function that ensures flow of nutrients and oxygen with necessary speed in right time.

 

Defective Blood pressure

When blood pressure is more or less than the normal range of blood pressure is called defective blood pressure. Generally 120/80 mmHg is normal, 140/90 mmHg is Hypertension (High blood pressure), 180/120 mmHg is considered Hypertensive (Extremely High blood pressure) emergency which needs immediate medical attention. 90/60 mmHg is a condition of Hypotension which is known as low blood pressure. 

 

 

Causes of blood pressure

Causes of Hypotension: Dehydration, Malnutrition, Side effect of medication, Pregnancy, heart condition and endocrine problems and some other factors are the main causes of hypotension. It is known as low blood pressure. Symptoms of low blood pressure are dizziness, laziness, weakness, unconsciousness; blur vision, nausea, cold, clammy skin, rapid breathing and confusion etc.

 

Hypertension: It is often called high blood pressure which causes severe headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, vision problem, fatigue, nose bleeding etc. are common symptoms of high blood pressure. If any of these symptoms you find with patient, you must consult doctor immediately. Imbalanced diet, smoking, stress, insufficient sleep,  lack of physical activity, obesity, side effect of medications can cause hypertension or high blood pressure.      

 

Impact of defective blood pressure

The effect of hypertension or high blood pressure can cause severe damage like heart, kidney, brain, and eyes. Most of the patients have common fatal disease like heart attack, kidney failure, brain stroke, blur vision etc. headache, shortness breathing, impaired vision, chest pain, dizziness  are some symptoms of defective blood pressure. Dementia and bone weakening are also outcome of defective blood pressure. The effect of hypotension can be noticed with some symptoms like fainting, fatigue, confusion , and nausea, rapid breathing, cold, clammy skin etc. these underlying causes must be identified and should be treated in time to prevent serious damage of internal organs.   

 

 

Controlling blood pressure

To control blood pressure or to keep the blood pressure in balance you must obey some rules. At first healthy lifestyle should be adopted by the patient. Controlled and balanced diet like reducing sodium intake, increasing potassium rich diet, maintaining healthy weight, doing regular exercise, aerobic and strength training can minimise the chances of damaging valuable internal organs by controlling blood pressure. Life style changing can be alterative to medication. But patient must consult doctor or physician and follow his instruction.

 

 

Conclusion

I always recommend do exercising and following the guide lines provided by physicians to prevent the fatal disease like blood pressure. Control diet and regular exercise is an effective way to prevent hypotension and hypertension. Yoga and pranayam (breathing exercise) can be more effective towards cure and prevent such disease.  After all life is yours so choice must be yours.
