Hypertension- Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure is a disease which affects many people. It can be mild to severe. High blood pressure is the force of blood against the artery walls. The more the heart pumps and the narrower the arteries determines how high the blood pressure is. If high blood pressure is left untreated, it can take a more serious turn in the form of development of a heart disease or stroke.

•     Some of the signs of blood pressure includes dull headache, dizziness or bleeding of the nose. As a precautionary measure every individual should get their blood pressure checked at regular intervals. The normal range of blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg, once it goes over that, it will be in the prehypertension range of 120-139/80-89 mmHg. If it still continues to rise then this phase can be referred to as the hypertension phase.

•     Age is the main factor in high blood pressure because with age the blood pressure also increases. Another factor is family history. Stress, being overweight and lack of any type of exercise, consumption of too much salt, using tobacco and alcohol consumption can all lead to increase in blood pressure. Adopt the necessary measures in order to keep your blood pressure in check.

•     Certain medications which can be used for the purpose of lowering the blood pressure includes Thiazide diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, alpha and alpha-beta blockers, renin inhibitors, calcium channel blockers and vasodilators are the common medications. But from your end if you have high blood pressure then make certain changes in your lifestyle. Live a healthy lifestyle and keep a track of your blood pressure for living a long life.
