Blood pressure in every human being has two limits: upper limit called "systolic" and the lower limit called "diastolic". It is checked by an instrument called "sphygmomanometer" or blood pressure apparatus in plain language. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts to send blood to other parts of the body. In normal and healthy humans, this value should be around 120 mmHg in young people and up to 140 mmHg in elderly persons. Diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands to draw blood from the body. This value should normally be around 80 mmHg. Abnormal value can go up to 120 mmHg and even beyond. Any value above 85 mmHg is indicative of some sort of trouble with the system. There could be many reasons for a higher diastolic value. One of the reasons is atrophy of the heart. Hypertension is usually a past middle age problem but can occasionally occur in young people also. This condition is in fact not a disease by itself but an indication of something wrong elsewhere. There are many factors that can contribute towards hypertension. At times, there may be more than one factor/s causing high blood pressure. Sometimes no particular cause can be found. Common Causes: Condition of the arteries. With age, the arteries tend to lose their flexibility, become comparatively rigid and fail to support the required expansion during a systole. Size of the arteries. Effective internal diameter may reduce due to some reason. High cholesterol level is one of the causes of this reduction. Excessive intake of salt Malfunctioning of the kidneys Lower level of water in the body Sudden emotional disturbance Continued mental stress Levels of various hormones in the body Inherited predisposition Obesity (Weight loss) Excessive heat in the body (not recognized by some systems) Excessive use of medicines Dietary habits Risk Factors Continued high blood pressure can cause enlargement of the heart and damage other tissues in the body. Once the heart is enlarged, it becomes extremely difficult to retrieve the original, natural size. Beyond certain limit, hemorrhage is not uncommon in such cases. Gradually, the liver may also be affected causing diabetes etc. Symptoms Usual symptom is heaviness in the head and feelings of outward pressure in the ears. Some get a reddish face or feel their face hot. These symptoms are a blessing in the sense that one gets to feel that there is something wrong and can go to a doctor for check up. On the contrary, some persons feel nothing abnormal. They may not feel even mild headache or heaviness. This no-feeling condition is dangerous. By the time they feel something, the blood pressure may have already reached an undesirable and dangerous limit. |
