What is High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure can be soar during pressure enforced by circulating blood on the walls of artery as a normal response to tension and bodily movement. The repeated high blood pressure can exert more pressure on your heart. High blood pressure causes strokes, heart attacks and arterial disease.
Reading Your Blood Pressure
Your blood pressure is taken in two values, the systolic, where blood exert pressure when it comes into aorta from the heart and the second is diastolic, where blood exert prssure when the heart ventricles take rest between beats. Physicians check it in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
Excessive Blood Pressure is defined in an adult as the blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg systolic pressure, or greater than or same as 90 mm Hg diastolic pressure. Reading of blood pressure greater than 140/90 is not normal & shows hypertension.
