A normal blood pressure range is between 120 and 140/90.
What is blood pressure, and how does it differ from systolic?
Blood pressure is the force exerted on the artery walls by the flow of blood. A person's average blood pressure fluctuates slightly throughout the day, decreasing while at rest and briefly rising when they become excited or stressed. The arteries can be scarred, stiffened, or hardened by an increase in resting blood pressure.
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure values are listed. As a result, BP 120/80 mm Hg indicates that 120 is the systolic number and 80 is the diastolic one.
High blood pressure has a higher chance of resulting in:
• angina pectoris
• stroke
• heart disease
• deterioration of the visual system.
• In the event of renal failure,
• dementia
• inability to ejaculate
Blood pressure is measured in units of millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Blood pressure is the force exerted on the arteries by blood flow. The heart muscle is the primary source of this chemical reaction. Two numbers are used to record its size. During a heartbeat, the first (systolic pressure) is the highest. Second (diastolic pressure) is measured before the heart contracts and the lowest (diastolic). The pressure is measured using a blood pressure cuff. "Hypertension" is the medical term for an increase in blood pressure.
What blood pressure categories are there?
Blood pressure can be divided into five categories, namely:
Under 120/80mm Hg, blood pressure can be considered normal.
Elevated blood pressure occurs when the systolic and diastolic blood pressures are consistently above 120 mm Hg and below 80 mm Hg. Blood pressure can rise dangerously if it isn't properly controlled in people with high blood pressure.
Diastolic blood pressure readings consistently fall between 80 and 89 mm Hg in this stage of hypertension. Heart disease and stroke can be prevented by lowering blood pressure and making lifestyle changes.
In this stage of hypertension, blood pressure readings consistently fall between 140 and 90 mm Hg. Doctors may prescribe medications and lifestyle changes. Medical attention must be sought immediately for a hypertensive crisis. Suddenly, the systolic and diastolic blood pressures reach 180/120 mm Hg.
If you notice any of the following symptoms, see a doctor right away:
• Breathlessness
• Pain in the lower abdomen
Pain in my back
• Numbness/weakness
• A shift in perspective
High Blood Pressure Symptoms and Signs
Hypertension has been dubbed "the silent killer" due to the lack of symptoms. One of the most serious consequences of long-term high blood pressure is a heart attack, kidney failure, or stroke. High blood pressure can cause a variety of symptoms in some people. Some of the symptoms are:
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Difficulty breathing
• Difficulty seeing.
• In the neck or head, a pulsating sensation can be felt
• Nausea
What's the best way to deal with hypertension?
High blood pressure can be treated with lifestyle changes and regular exercise. Some of the doctors' recommendations include the following:
• Smoking cessation
• As a result, you will shed pounds.
• Avoid or at least limit the consumption of alcohol
• A diet low in sodium and fat, like the DASH diet, is recommended.
• Avoid over-stressing yourself
• Bananas and milk are good sources of potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
• After the age of 35, blood pressure should be monitored regularly.
• Engage in stress-relieving activities such as meditation.
• Reduce your intake of caffeine.
Some of the medications that doctors may prescribe are as follows:
• Diuretics
• Acetylcholinesterase (ACE) inhibitors
• Alpha-blockers
• Beta-blockers
• Blockers of the calcium channel
• Vasodilators
